In this high-energy holiday edition of The Fan, Marc Malusis tackles the growing disconnect between New York front offices and their loyal fanbases. The "Moose" dives deep into the Yankees' shifting standards, arguing that the organizational grading system has moved from "Championship or Bust" to "Playoffs or Bust," leaving fans like caller Ramon rightfully frustrated with Aaron Boone’s job security.

The show takes an emotional turn as Marc breaks down the "heartbreak" of Mets fans moving on from Pete Alonso, comparing the team's refusal to pay their stars to a failing relationship where the "date nights" have long since stopped.

Finally, Marc looks toward the postseason, issuing a stark ultimatum to the Buffalo Bills: with Mahomes and Jackson out of the way, the AFC is a vacuum that Buffalo must fill now or never. Between scouting the Giants' draft needs and celebrating the legendary career of Dove Kramer behind the glass, Malusis delivers a "B+" performance (according to Pete!) that covers every corner of the New York sports landscape.
