Nick Kostos talks Giants football after news yesterday they traded for JJ McCarthy yesterday and Brian Burns will be out for the year.

An ugly victory couldn't mask the panic in Big Blue's front office following a season-ending ACL injury to star pass-rusher Brian Burns and a desperation trade for J.J. McCarthy. With Jameis Winston struggling to run the offense and key starters dropping fast, the Giants find themselves treading thin ice as their season descends into high-stakes drama.

The New York Giants have pulled off a stunner, trading a 2027 5th-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings to acquire former first-round quarterback JJ McCarthy. With Jaxson Dart sidelined and Brian Burns suffering a season-ending torn ACL, the front office made it loud and clear that they refuse to throw in the towel on the season. Ethan and Weis break down why McCarthy is a much better scheme fit than Jameis Winston, why Winston was always meant as a short-term backup, and how quickly McCarthy could realistically see the field.Despite grinding out an ugly Week 3 victory over Cam Ward and the Tennessee Titans, the performance left serious concerns on the table. The guys dive into a fiery debate over the pass rush after top draft picks Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux combined for zero sacks, zero QB hits, and just one tackle against a struggling offense. While Weis argues the secondary's inability to cover quick drops handicapped the front, Ethan is completely out of excuses for high-priced, high-draft capital rushers.Looking ahead to Week 4, the Giants prepare for a sneaky trap game against the Arizona Cardinals at MetLife Stadium. Plus, Ethan and Weis scan the rest of the league, debating which NFL head coach is on the hottest seat, reacting to horrific officiating in the Rams game, and evaluating whether Jim Harbaugh could genuinely face a mid-season exit.

The Bears rolled past the Eagles behind Case Keenum following a Jalen Hurts injury and Andy Dalton endzone pick, leading Ben Johnson to hail it as their cleanest win to date—a performance Boomer Esiason thinks spells trouble for the Jets. Meanwhile, the Giants' acquisition of J.J. McCarthy behind Jameis Winston sparked debate on when he might challenge for the starting job, while John Harbaugh weighed in on both QBs and confirmed Brian Burns is lost for the season. Mets president David Stearns addressed Pete Alonso's year and the constant pressure to construct a winner. For the Yankees, Cam Schlittler gets the nod tonight against Boston, with Wild Card roster speculation culminating in Jack Curry's report that Aaron Judge was left off while Giancarlo Stanton made it. Rounding out the sports action, the Rangers open their season tonight, Mike Brown spoke at Knicks media day, and LeBron James reflected on how New York's championship impacted his retirement plans.

With today's 10 a.m. deadline for the Yankees' Wild Card roster approaching, Gio doubts Aaron Judge makes the cut but expects Giancarlo Stanton will, before a caller shared her experience visiting the new Bills stadium. Jerry's update kicked off with Boomer discussing highly drafted QBs who lasted two seasons or fewer, followed by Cam Schlittler on getting the start tonight and sounds of the Bears beating the Eagles after Andy Dalton's endzone pick. Rounding out the hour, an unhappy Brodes chimed in about the Iggles, John Harbaugh addressed J.J. McCarthy challenging Jameis and losing Brian Burns for the season, and the guys previewed the Yankees watch party alongside the Rangers' season kickoff tonight.

More from Cam Schlittler on getting the start tonight. The Bears beating the Eagles as Andy Dalton played briefly and threw a pick in the endzoneand heard from Brodes in Philly who was not happy with the Eagles. John Harbaugh was asked how fast JJ McCarthy could challenge Jameis for the job. He also talked about losing Brian Burns for the season.

The Giants weathered the northeastern storm Sunday as well as the Tennessee Titans. In a wet and sloppy gridlock game, Dominic Zvada's 4 Field Goals deliver a victory despite a second lousy performance at QB and a season ending injury to Brian Burns. Grump and Cranky discuss the game, Burns, and JJ McCarthy.

The Giants gained a 23-year-old former top-10 quarterback, but they sacrificed a 2027 fifth-round pick for a player Minnesota had already pushed to QB3. Drew and Rob debate whether J.J. McCarthy represents cheap developmental upside or whether the Vikings moving on this quickly should be a major warning sign.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Why did the Giants trade for J.J. McCarthy? New York is betting that McCarthy's age, pedigree and developmental upside are worth the draft pick as the Giants deal with Jaxson Dart's injury. But Minnesota's willingness to move the former No. 10 pick after only ten NFL starts is the concern that hangs over the entire deal.The quarterback debate dominates the episode. Drew and Rob get into Kevin O'Connell's reputation developing quarterbacks, John Harbaugh getting information from Jim Harbaugh about McCarthy's Michigan days, why the Giants chose a young reclamation project instead of simply signing Jimmy Garoppolo or Jake Browning, and what McCarthy would have to become for the trade to justify giving up the pick.Brian Burns is also officially out for the season with a torn ACL.

McCarthy to the Giants, Baker Mayfield's status for the Buccaneers, the Giants losing Brian Burns for the season, the Dolphins losing De'Von Achane for the season and more!NFL Daily YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/nflpodcastsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Giants got the win they absolutely needed, but Brian Burns' season-ending ACL injury hangs over an ugly victory against the Titans. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to another devastating injury, why health could become the biggest threat to the Giants' season, and why surviving a sloppy game still matters when the alternative is another crushing loss. The offense left plenty to worry about. New York repeatedly failed to finish drives in the red zone, penalties killed opportunities, and Matt Nagy's direct-snap call to Cam Skattebo drew immediate criticism. Still, the Giants found a way to advance to 2-1, with Evan and Tiki pointing to John Harbaugh and the new coaching staff as a major reason this team feels different.

Giants players are openly saying what fans were thinking: this is a game they would have lost last year. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber react to Jameis Winston and Cam Skattebo crediting the change inside the building, and why John Harbaugh is already creating a level of trust that simply was not there before. Jevon Holland gets major praise after another game-changing performance, including the interception that sealed the win over Tennessee. Evan and Tiki break down the intelligence behind Holland's play and why he has been the Giants' best player through three weeks. They also address the growing frustration surrounding MetLife Stadium's turf after Brian Burns' season-ending knee injury.

The Giants survived an ugly win over the Titans, but Brian Burns' season-ending ACL injury immediately casts a shadow over their 2-1 start. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down why injuries remain the biggest threat to this team, how New York gutted out a game it probably loses in previous years, and why players are already pointing to John Harbaugh as the difference. Jevon Holland continues to dominate the Giants defense, while Jameis Winston and the offense have major issues to fix after another touchdown-free week. Evan and Tiki debate Winston's future as reports suggest the Giants are aggressively looking to add quarterbacks, plus they examine the red-zone failures, questionable play calling and the growing concern surrounding MetLife Stadium's turf.

To make matters worse for the Giants, news breaks that Brian Burns is done for the season with a torn ACL. Plus, Rex Ryan stops by to react to Week 3. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We dive into the NFL action with full coverage of the Giants' victory, Jevon Holland's game-sealing interception, and the crushing blow of Brian Burns' season-ending ACL tear. We break down the Jets' progress against the Lions, Geno Smith's late fumble, and Aaron Glenn's defense, alongside key quarterback storylines involving Deshaun Watson, Drake Maye, Baker Mayfield's thumb injury, and Jameis Winston. Plus, we react to USC linebacker Desman Stephens' brutal hit on Dante Moore, Iowa's last-second win over Michigan, Francisco Lindor's 300th home run, and upcoming Yankees playoff excitement.

We open with Gio crediting Deshaun Watson after a rough Week 1 while calling Drake Maye a major disappointment, followed by a caller's take on Jim Nantz. Jerry arrives with an update on the Giants' win over the Titans, featuring postgame sound on the game-ending interception from John Harbaugh, Jevon Holland, Robert Saleh, and Cam Ward. We then hear Jameis Winston on the Giants' quarterback search, Geno Smith's late fumble sealing a Lions victory with reaction from Dan Campbell and Aaron Glenn, the 0-3 Bucs facing Baker Mayfield's thumb injury, and Drake Maye blaming a fumble on a bloody ball. Finally, we close with terrible news for the Giants as Brian Burns tears his ACL, dealing a massive blow to their pass rush.

Brian Burns tore his ACL yesterday and will miss the rest of the season. The Giants have had issues rushing the passer with him, so this is not good.

Anthony Rivardo goes live with Alex Wilson of Empire Sports Media. Jameis Winston went 14 of 22 for 118 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions in a nor'easter.

The offense ran it 33 times for 138 yards, Cam Skattebo had 100 from scrimmage, Najee Harris added 52 on nine carries, and the Giants held the ball for 34:26. The red zone number is the problem: 0 for 2, and 4 of 13 on third down. The defense and Jordan Stout won the game. Stout averaged 50.5 on six punts with three inside the 20 and a 74-yarder.

THIS IS A LIVE STREAM REPLAY FROM THE FIRESIDE GIANTS YOUTUBE CHANNEL. The Giants trade for J.J. McCarthy: the quarterback comes over from the Minnesota Vikings on Monday for a 2027 fifth-round pick, pending a physical, six days after Jaxson Dart's season-ending knee surgery. We react live. McCarthy went 10th overall in 2024, missed his rookie year on injured reserve, then started 10 games in 2025: 6-4, 140 of 243 for 1,632 yards, 11 touchdowns, 12 interceptions and a 72.6 passer rating. The Vikings named Kyler Murray their starter in August, and today they moved him for a Day 3 pick. We break down the price, the contract (a fully guaranteed rookie deal with a 2028 fifth-year option the Giants now control), the John Harbaugh connection to Jim Harbaugh's Michigan title team, and the real question: Jameis Winston starts Sunday against Arizona, but with 229 passing yards in two games, how long does that last?

The Jets need to start delivering real wins instead of close calls and moral victories. Holding our breath for updates on Brian Burns and Breece Hall.

POSTGAME: Titans LOSE to the NY GIANTS 12-7.....0-3?? WOW!! #TITANS #nygiants EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- — Playing their first game without quarterback Jaxson Dart, the New York Giants got just enough from replacement Jameis Winston on offense and another big play from safety Jevon Holland to win an ugly football game in the middle of a nor'easter. Winston completed 12 of 18 passes for 117 yards, Holland intercepted Cam Ward with 17 seconds left and the Giants held on to beat the Tennessee Titans 12-7 on Sunday. Coach John Harbaugh thought Winston did what was required and necessary in rainy, windy conditions. “Today is the only day that we have, and today it was enough,” Winston said. “I've had games where I've thrown for 500 yards, and the game didn't turn out the way I wanted it to be. Any time, any day, I would rather win.” In the aftermath of Dart having surgery on his left knee that will sideline him for at least the remainder of the regular season, the Giants (2-1) lost their most important defensive player when Brian Burns injured his right knee in the fourth quarter. Burns is set to have further testing to determine the severity. “There is some hope there, but we won't know until we see the MRI,” Harbaugh said. If it is significant like Dart's injury, it is another blow to the Giants after Harbaugh's tenure as coach got off to a promising start. Burns ranked second in the NFL in sacks last season behind record-setter Myles Garrett. Offensively, Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Matt Nagy kept the ball on the ground, in part because of the conditions, and piled up 138 yards rushing with no turnovers. “Everybody saw how windy it was,” center John Michael Schmitz said. “Everybody saw how wet the ball was. I feel like our offense did a great job protecting the ball.” The Titans (0-3) narrowly avoided becoming the first NFL team in eight years to not pick up a first down before halftime. The offense run by former Giants coach Brian Daboll was held off the scoreboard until Cam Ward connected with Wan'Dale Robinson for the game's only touchdown with 5:35 left. They would have scored earlier had Ward not missed Carnell Tate wide open in the end zone. Ward found a rhythm late but was picked off by Holland in the end zone, his first interception this season. “This was a hard-fought win,” said Holland, who had an interception for a third consecutive game. “For us to come out here and get this done, it was nitty gritty. But it was important.” Tennessee had blunders on offense, defense and special teams. Chimere Dike, an All-Pro as a rookie, fumbled the opening kickoff. It's the second fumble he has lost this season. “We're in a place right now we're 0-3,” defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons said. “We need to do more. We've got to stop talking: say less, do more.” Simmons shines Simmons was one of the few bright spots for the Titans. He sacked Winston in the first half, when he made a career-high seven tackles. No other defensive tackle has had as many in a half this season. “Jeffery Simmons is on the other side of the ball, and you try to trap him — he's an animal,” Giants running back Cam Skattebo said. “ He wrecked a couple plays, and shout-out to him, man. He's a respected player in this league. He destroyed some plays.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Giants are 2-1 after surviving Tennessee 12-7, but the win came with a major tradeoff: New York found a way to finish a game it might have lost in previous seasons while exposing serious problems on offense, in the pass rush and with late-game execution.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Should Giants fans feel good about being 2-1 or worried by how close Tennessee came to stealing this game? The answer depends on whether you value the Giants finally finding ways to win ugly games more than the offensive and late-game problems that almost cost them one they controlled.Jevón Holland was the hero again, intercepting Cam Ward in the end zone to finish the game and adding another massive play to his start with the Giants. Drew and Rob debate whether Holland has already become the most dependable playmaker on this defense.The win also came with another Brian Burns injury concern. Burns entered the game dealing with an ankle issue, later exited with a right-knee injury, and during the show the update came that he would undergo an MRI. No diagnosis or timetable was available during the episode.The offense produced no touchdowns. Dominic Zvada kicked four field goals and supplied every Giants point while New York repeatedly moved into scoring territory without finishing. That opens up a much larger discussion about the red-zone play calling and just how much the coaching staff trusted Jameis Winston.Was the conservative approach smart because Winston was playing in terrible conditions and protecting the football, or did the Giants become so cautious that they made life harder on themselves?The running-back usage became another major debate. Najee Harris averaged nearly six yards per carry but finished with only nine attempts, while Cam Skattebo received 20 carries. Skattebo still contributed as a receiver and made one of the biggest offensive plays of the afternoon, but Drew and Rob question why the Giants moved away from Harris when he was consistently producing.Defensively, seven points allowed looks excellent until you look at how the game finished. The Giants never sacked Cam Ward, Tennessee eventually drove 91 yards for a touchdown, and the Titans reached the Giants' red zone on the final possession before Holland ended it.Where was the Giants pass rush when Tennessee finally started throwing the football effectively?New York also piled up costly penalties and mistakes late in the game, giving Tennessee multiple opportunities to turn a 12-0 fourth-quarter deficit into a win. Dominic Zvada and Jordan Stout were outstanding individually on special teams, but the Giants made the finish far more difficult than it ever needed to be.The Giants survived.They are 2-1.And somehow this win gave Giants fans almost as much to argue about as a loss.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsAll episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Pat Boyle and Brad Evans break down the fourth-quarter chaos from Sunday Night Football, dissecting Denver's wild comeback win over the Rams, the controversial pass-interference flag, and Talanoa Hufanga's decisive pick-six off Matthew Stafford. Then, a brutal Week 3 injury report—with updates on Baker Mayfield, Breece Hall, De'Von Achane, and Brian Burns' season-ending torn ACL—before debating which squad reigns supreme across the AFC and NFC West.

With this kind of QB play, and with a COMPLETE lack of pass rush, the Giants will be in for a long year unless something changes quickly.  But a win is a win, they say.  Even one as ugly as this one.A 12-7 win sounds calm until you relive the last few minutes. We walk out of a soaking wet afternoon at MetLife with the Giants somehow sitting at 2-1, but the game against the Tennessee Titans feels like a slow-motion collapse that only stops because of a clutch end zone interception by Javon Holland. If you're a Giants fan, you know the exact mix of relief and dread that comes from watching a lead shrink while the offense stalls and the defense can't get off the field.I dig into what the box score can't hide: the Giants offense still can't finish. With Jackson Dart lost for the season after knee surgery, Jameis Winston has to steer the ship, but the timing looks off and the production is thin. I talk through the 118 passing yards, the lack of pocket comfort, and why the red zone approach feels especially frustrating when the run game is working in spurts, then suddenly disappears near the goal line. 4 field goals keep the scoreboard moving, but zero touchdowns at home against an 0-3 team raises real questions.Then I get to the big defensive theme: pass rush. When quarterbacks have all day, every drive becomes a threat, and late mistakes like an encroachment penalty only amplify the stress. I also hit the injury worry around Brian Burns, and why that matters when pressure is already hard to find. The bright spots come from special teams, with Jordan Stout flipping field position and the kicker staying perfect, reminding us how hidden yardage can steal a win in bad weather.If you care about where this Giants season is headed, listen now, then subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review with your take: are you more worried about the offense or the pass rush?Send fan mailJersey Guy Sports is available on all podcasting platforms. Listen on SpotifyListen on Apple Podcasts Listen on YouTubeListen on PocketCastsListen on iHeart RadioListen on Amazon MusicListen on TuneIn and AlexaListen on other podcasting platforms hereSocials Facebook, JGS Twitter, Threads, Youtub...

Winston is 3-9 in his last 12 starts and went 11 of 27 for 111 yards in relief at the Rams.

The Giants need another quarterback, but the real question is what they should be willing to sacrifice to get one. Drew and Rob argue that signing Jimmy Garoppolo as veteran insurance makes far more sense than giving away draft capital for a short-term quarterback fix.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Should the Giants sign Jimmy Garoppolo instead of trading draft capital for another quarterback?Drew and Rob say yes — as a veteran No. 2 behind Jameis Winston, not as a replacement starter.The quarterback discussion starts with the reported Giants interest in Garoppolo and John Harbaugh confirming that another quarterback will be added. Gardner Minshew, Mac Jones, J.J. McCarthy and other possible options come up, but the argument keeps returning to the same issue: why give away a draft pick for a player who may only be needed for the rest of this season when Garoppolo can be added without a trade?Before moving into the league-wide picks, Drew and Rob react to Dennard Wilson discussing the death of his father before the Rams game and his refusal to use it as an excuse for the defensive performance. They also cover the latest Giants-Titans injury changes, including Andrew Thomas moving from limited to DNP, Brian Burns missing another practice, Malik Nabers returning to full participation and Jameis Winston staying after practice for extra work.Most of the episode is devoted to NFL Week 3. Drew and Rob make winner, spread and over/under picks across the slate, starting with Giants-Titans and moving through Chiefs-Dolphins, Panthers-Browns, Patriots-Jaguars, Chargers-Bills, Jets-Lions, Texans-Colts, Seahawks-Commanders and Bengals-Steelers.The late-window games bring Cardinals-49ers, Vikings-Buccaneers and Raiders-Saints before one of the biggest debates of the episode: Ravens-Cowboys in Brazil. Both hosts pick Baltimore to win, but Drew takes the Ravens to cover and the under while Rob gives Dallas the points and leans over.They finish with Rams-Broncos on Sunday night and Eagles-Bears on Monday night, where the possibility of Case Keenum starting for Chicago becomes a major part of the handicap.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsAll episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Jaxson Dart's knee injury hangs over everything after the Giants were thoroughly outclassed by the Rams. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate how differently the game might have looked with Dart, whether concerns about his durability are fair, and why losing the quarterback makes this Giants team nearly impossible to evaluate. The bigger on-field alarm is a pass rush that was supposed to be the strength of the defense. Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux and company have produced one of the NFL's worst pressure rates through two games, leaving an already vulnerable secondary exposed. The Giants may be 1-1, but the circumstances surrounding that record have changed the conversation completely.

Jaxson Dart's knee injury completely changed the Giants' night as the Rams dominated New York and exposed just how much this offense depends on its young quarterback. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate how much of the ugly loss can fairly be evaluated without Dart, while digging into Jameis Winston's struggles, the red-zone play calling and John Harbaugh's decisions in his first real wave of criticism as Giants head coach. The defensive concerns may be just as serious. The Giants' highly touted pass rush sits near the bottom of the NFL in pressure rate despite major expectations for Brian Burns, Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux. Shaun Morash also relives his emotional game-night tweets and his ongoing feud with Jets fans before breaking news hits: Aaron Judge is expected to miss the Yankees' Wild Card Series with a calf strain.

John Harbaugh takes his first real wave of Giants criticism after a night filled with questionable decisions. Evan Roberts blasts the Giants for snapping a field goal attempt with five seconds still on the play clock, then kicking into the end zone instead of burning more time before halftime. He calls the sequence coaching malpractice after the Rams nearly turned those extra seconds into points. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber also debate whether Harbaugh should have pulled key starters once the game was slipping away, especially after Brian Burns and Andrew Thomas were hurt late. Tiki then zooms out on the bigger picture, arguing the Giants may have climbed out of the NFL's bottom tier, but they still are not ready to compete with teams like the Rams, Bills, and Chiefs.

The Rams handed the Giants a brutal beatdown last night after Jaxson Dart was injured early. Jameis Winston struggled, Boomer praised the Rams as one of the league's best, and New York's lack of a pass rush was alarming. The big question now is whether the Giants can win without Dart, especially with Malik Nabers, Brian Burns, and Andrew Thomas also injured. Jerry's first update brings radio reactions to Dart's injury, the Manning brothers' take, a fired-up Aaron Donald on his return, Winston addressing his end-zone interception, and Matthew Stafford discussing Davante Adams' huge night. To wrap up, Baker Mayfield complains about a "sweaty ball," Pete Alonso crushes two home runs to hit his 40th, and callers question the Giants' lack of offensive creativity.

Today's show breaks down the Giants' brutal loss to the Rams following an early knee injury to Jaxson Dart and mounting health concerns for Malik Nabers, Brian Burns, and Andrew Thomas. We dissect Jameis Winston's passing struggles, Matthew Stafford's big night, and John Harbaugh's charge to rally the locker room before facing the Titans. Plus, we cover the latest update on Jayden Daniels, Aaron Glenn's late-game decision-making, Pete Alonso crushing his 40th home run, and the Yankees' Wild Card outlook as they kick off a series with the Rays.

Gio had a "here we go again" moment over Jaxson Dart's injury before calling out NFL constants like Terry Bradshaw highlights and Samuel L. Jackson commercials. Frustrated Giants callers declared the season over, leading into Jerry's update featuring an exasperated Bob Papa, postgame sound from Jameis Winston and Brian Burns, and Sean McVay praising his defense. Finally, we heard Aaron Glenn address a blown lead, Robert Saleh prepare for the Giants, and the latest on Jayden Daniels' injury—including how his entire offensive line just left him laying there in pain.

Jerry returns for an update and starts with Bob Papa, who sounds like he's had it already with the Giants. We heard from Jameis Winston and Brian Burns after the game. Sean McVay thought his defense was awesome. We heard from Aaron Glenn on how the team didn't close out the game when they had the lead. We also heard from Rob Saleh, as they get ready to play the Giants. We got an update of Jayden Daniels' injury.

In September 2025, the electro-pop duo Sylvan Esso made headlines with the announcement that it was removing its catalog from Spotify. The world's most popular music streamer wasn't new to criticism, but the temperature changed last year with the revelation that then-CEO Daniel Ek was a major investor in Helsing, an AI software company that designs military weapons systems. A year later, the band has returned bearing new music and another small bombshell: A week after the release of 'Ow ∞,' Sylvan Esso's fifth studio album, came the news that all of its music was returning to Spotify beginning Sept. 18. In a conversation with reporter Brian Burns from NPR member station WUNC in Chapel Hill, N.C., members Amelia Meath and Nick Sanborn (also a married couple) describe that return as the result of a series of sobering discoveries — but also stress how much they learned on the road to this moment.Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.
