Tell us below and don't forget to hit Subscribe to join the Goofball Army!Nabers finally underwent surgery a full month after his knee injury, calming fans worried about his long-term future. While the recovery timeline keeps him out until 2026 training camp, his surgery went smoothly — a key milestone for one of NY's cornerstone stars.Meanwhile, Dexter Lawrence lit up headlines after former Giants legend Carl Banks claimed opponents “don't respect” him anymore. Lawrence fired back hard, pointing to being double-teamed on over 72% of snaps and his rising 13.5% pass-rush win rate. The tape agrees — he's still drawing elite-level attention. The real issue may lie in scheme changes that moved him away from his most dominant spot at nose tackle.Then there's the brutal injury to Skattebo. Ian Rapoport reported that the rookie back suffered a dislocated ankle, fibula fracture, and ligament rupture, requiring immediate surgery. Doctors say recovery should take roughly six months, meaning Skattebo should return by OTAs. Despite the gruesome moment, the outlook remains encouraging.We'll also preview this week's showdown with the 49ers — a team somehow sitting 5-3 despite 22 injuries across their roster. Saleh's defense remains tough, CMC continues to carry the offense, and Brock Purdy's status looms large. The Giants' keys to victory are simple: contain CMC, finish in the red zone, create pressure, and stretch the field deep when protection allows.Thank you for watching & for your support.

BT and Sal discuss Giants great Carl Banks' scathing critique of defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence on the Bleav in Giants podcast. Banks claimed Lawrence has lost his opponents' respect and is failing to make a difference, even getting blocked by a "nine-year backup center." The hosts debate the most damning part of the callout, with Sal saying Lawrence has been "stealing money" since his massive $60 million guaranteed extension. They question why Banks, who is around the team, didn't confirm if Lawrence is injured before going public. They break down whether Lawrence is "paid and lazy" or simply banged up, and discuss the wider defensive failures under coordinator Shane Bowen, arguing the lack of impact from high-priced players like Lawrence is the true root of the Giants' struggles against the run.

BT & Sal go off the rails following Carl Banks' scathing criticism of Dexter Lawrence, questioning if the $60M man is hurt or just "lazy" after getting paid. The guys debate if Banks was right to publicly rip a Giants star. Then, the discussion shifts to the Mets' coaching turnover, as Antoan Richardson moves on—is the loss of the "best first base coach in baseball" a sign of deeper trouble? Finally, the segment ends with a round of Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth featuring Hoff, addressing three fiery claims: The Knicks will have five players finish in the top 20 with minutes played again this season. (Knicks Minutes) Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber will both be returning to the Phillies next season. (Phillies' Future) The Rangers will find a way to trade Panarin and/or Mika Zibanejad. (Ranger Rebuild)

BT & Sal bring in NFL Insider Brian Baldinger to deliver a fiery breakdown of Dexter Lawrence's shocking struggles. Baldy agrees with the harsh criticism from Giants legend Carl Banks, stating that the All-Pro defensive tackle has lost his "enormous strength" and isn't showing the dominance expected, especially after a backup center handled him with ease. Baldy questions if the issue is a lack of conditioning or explosion but firmly puts the blame on the veteran player, not the coaching. The conversation also touches on the Giants' need to accelerate Jaxson Dart's development with more receiver help, the disastrous "tush push" fumble ruling, Daniel Jones' immediate success away from the Giants with elite talent and coaching, and a look ahead at the Giants' and Jets' remaining schedules.

BT & Sal dive into the latest Giants drama, dissecting Carl Banks' surprisingly direct and fiery critique of Dexter Lawrence's flagging performance, and question if the verbal shots are a desperate attempt at motivation. They also analyze reports surrounding a potential Kayvon Thibodeaux trade, asking if the Giants should commit long-term to the defensive end given the unit's underperformance. Plus, the guys recap the "Perfect Parlay" segment, where Hoff holds the lead despite a bad week and Sal laments getting burned by a Jets comeback. John Minko stops by for the "Call of the Day" and a funny-but-sad story about his final day at The Fan. The show closes with a passionate debate on a potential new baseball rule limiting intentional walks, debating if the need for entertainment outweighs pure strategy (and whether it's even enforceable).

BT & Sal launch a blistering critique of the Yankees and Mets, arguing they are light years behind the Dodgers' aggressive, 'win-now' blueprint. They torch New York's ownership for their "financial fear," demanding both teams stop settling and "go Dodgers-Deep" by trading for stars like Tarik Skubal and Kyle Tucker. The show then erupts over Giants legend Carl Banks' scorching public criticism of Dexter Lawrence, questioning if the $90M All-Pro is hurt, "lazy" after getting paid, or if opponents truly "don't respect" him anymore. They debate the impact of Banks' verbal fire on the Big Cat's effort. The hosts also discuss the Mets' puzzling loss of first base coach Antoan Richardson, rumors of a Kayvon Thibodeaux trade, and end the hour with a fiery round of "Bald-Faced Lie, Bald-Faced Truth" covering the Knicks' minutes, the Phillies' stars, and a potential Rangers' rebuild via trading Panarin/Zibanejad.

Send us a textGiants fans are reeling after a week full of news, emotion, and controversy. From Cam Skattebo's season-ending ankle surgery to Brian Daboll refusing to stand up for his team, this episode dives into everything surrounding Big Blue. Plus, Tom Brady gives high praise to Jaxson Dart, Jalin Hyatt's mysterious benching sparks trade rumors and Carl Banks calls outLawrence for losing respect on the field. We'll wrap things up with our full Week 8 NFL recap, breaking down every major story around the league.Cam Skattebo's devastating open ankle dislocation required emergency surgery in Philadelphia. Reports confirm it was an open dislocation, meaning the joint was exposed and risked infection or nerve damage. Thankfully, surgery went well, and Skattebo himself posted that he's grateful for the support. The Eagles' own security chief, “Big Dom,” even brought cheesesteaks to the hospital. According to Ian Rapoport, Skattebo's recovery outlook is positive, and he's expected to be ready for next season.Meanwhile, Brian Daboll had the perfect opportunity to back his players after a series of awful calls against the Giants — but instead, he dodged every question. That silence may cost him respect in the locker room.Brady spoke highly of Dart, praising his accountability and competitiveness. Brady said, “If you're a Giants fan, you should be excited about this young quarterback.” That's huge validation from one of the greatest ever.Then comes Jalin Hyatt. After being a healthy scratch against the Eagles, fans are asking if this was about trade protection. Could the Giants move on from one of their most talented receivers for the right offer? Drew and Rob break it all down.And finally, Giants legend Carl Banks delivered a harsh message to Dexter Lawrence: “Nobody respects you anymore.” Banks challenged Sexy Dexy to demand more from himself after opposing linemen held their own easily in recent weeks. We'll discuss what that means for the Giants' defense moving forward.Show Everyone You are a Goofball By Checking Out Our Merchandise Storehttps://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support the Show on Buy Me a Coffee - Kill Our Livers Buy Us Beers!https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsSubscribe to Our YouTube Channel - Best Way to Watch Our Contenthttps://www.youtube.com/@2giantgoofballs?sub_confirmation=1Become a Member of the YouTube Goofball Channel for Perkshttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-tiLjkehiawtN-v6gMFViA/joinFollow us On Xhttps://x.com/2giantgoofballsPrefer Audio Only?
