JOE JUDGE HAS BEEN FIRED! Why it's disappointing but not surprising, why you should be careful of any "stories" about issues during his tenure, and my dark horse for th next GM.

A fully unscripted and from-the-bottom-of-the-bottle reaction to the loss in Kansas City, this week I talk about: - My own fan superstitions - This loss wasn't on the defense, but it also isn't as clean cut as some of you might want it to be. - Why the Giants issues are higher level than just clock management. - Why you shouldn't expect any firings or trades tomorrow.

Rough loss against Dallas. The injuries are piling up, the schedule isn't getting any easier. Was there anything to like this week? Listen and find out.

Today I recap rounds 2 and 3 of the NFL draft, nabbing a legit pass rusher way later than we should have, and what Aaron Robinson brings to the table. I also go through some names that might get taken early tomorrow. No time tamps today! It's one Giant stream of though. Enjoy!

We've got our second win of the season (I almost don't care that it was against Washington). Pop joins the show (still celebrating the dub) as we discuss the win against WFT, the Saints stomping the Bucs, the state of the team just over halfway through the season, and the possibility of Takk McKinley coming to NYG.
