Thank you, Donna Grande with GrandeConnections, for having me as your guest!! A seven-year-old falls in love with Giants football. Years later, she's calling plays, building culture, and proving that coaching is a craft earned in the film room, on the practice field, and through a thousand quiet acts of leadership. Coach Mikki St. Germain joins us to share how she moved from team mom to Varsity Special Teams Coordinator and D-Line Coach.We dig into the hard parts: being second-guessed, a sideline confrontation that crossed the line, and the moment she chose accountability over ego to protect her team's standards. She breaks down why “winning and learning” beats “winning and losing,” how players absorb their coach's mindset under pressure, and why belief, consistent, practiced, and visible, changes on and off the field. If you're ready to trade doubt for reps, bias for standards, and noise for purpose, hit play, subscribe, and leave a review with the bold move you'll take this week.Connect with Donna Connect with Coach Mikki We look forward to seeing you succeed! - www.KeepOnSharing.com - Code - KOSSupport the showJoin my guests on my YouTube Channel

A new study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that blocks of frozen carbon dioxide are the culprits behind these formations. When the Martian winter sets in, CO2 ice accumulates and, upon warming, sublimates, creating gas pressure that carves deep gullies in the Martian surface. This groundbreaking phenomenon, likened to the sandworms of Dune, showcases a unique geological process not observed on Earth.Inside-Out Planetary System DiscoveryAstronomers have identified a remarkable new planetary system, catalogued as LHS 1903, that defies conventional models of planetary formation. Unlike our solar system, which features rocky planets close to the star and gas giants further out, LHS 1903 has a small rocky planet orbiting outside of two gas giants. This discovery, detailed in Science, suggests that this rocky world may have formed in a gas-depleted environment, challenging existing theories about how planets evolve and raising questions about the nature of planetary systems.Europe's Powerful Rocket LaunchThe European Space Agency has successfully launched the Ariane 64, its most powerful rocket to date, from the Kourou Spaceport in French Guiana. This inaugural mission, VA267, carried 32 satellites into orbit for Amazon's LEO network, marking a significant milestone as the largest number of satellites ever launched by an Ariane rocket. With plans for an average of 10 launches per year, the Ariane 64 is set to play a crucial role in the future of satellite deployment.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesGeophysical Research Letters, ScienceSupport our podcast: Become a supporter.

In this members episode, Tony sits down with Pastor Dave Bryan for a jaw-dropping conversation that moves from the Giants of Kandahar to the hidden search for Noah's Ark, and finally to the modern-day red heifer prophecy. Dave Bryan shares firsthand testimony from a Navy intelligence source who claimed U.S. special forces engaged multiple armored giants in Afghanistan, along with the chilling aftermath and alleged CIA suppression. The conversation then shifts to a private viewing of video footage said to show the interior of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat, complete with ancient beams and preserved feeding troughs. Finally, Dave recounts his meeting with Robert Mawire and the astonishing story of how seven perfect red heifers were providentially supplied for the rebuilding of the Third Temple in Jerusalem. From underground giants to Temple prophecy, this episode explores the possibility that biblical events are not ancient history, but unfolding in real time.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

What if giants weren't obstacles but opportunities to discover how tall you can stand with Jesus? Explore the transformative power of living from majesty instead of limitation, and discover how Christ's work on the cross made doubt and fear illegal patterns for your life. Learn to pray from relationship rather than circumstances, and embrace the curious faith that sees provision positioned next to every problem.Key Scriptures:+ Numbers 13:30-33.

"Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land...their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them."+ Exodus 32:24.

Live from the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis where Rich reveals the top 5 prospects he's looking forward to seeing most this week. CBS Sports' Charles Davis and Rich discuss how the top of the NFL Draft could unfold after the Raiders' “no-brainer” selection of Fernando Mendoza first overall, how high Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love could be selected in April, the Draft stock of Alabama QB Ty Simpson and Miami Hurricanes QB Carson Beck, and more. ESPN's Matt Miller tells Rich which NFL Combine drill is the best indicator for a player's success in the NFL, how presumptive #1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza measures up to past top QB draft prospects, breaks down the huge needs for teams like the Jets, Cardinals, Giants and Titans drafting in the top 5, if the Kansas City Chiefs could take Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love in the top 10, if Alabama QB Ty Simpson is 1st-round worthy, and more.

The Stanton “can't open a bag of chips” saga takes another turn as the conversation shifts from tennis elbow to a scarier possibility: could this be an arthritis-style issue that requires constant warming up just to function? The guys debate what it means for Stanton's season, why he's always the first one on the field, and whether the Yankees should treat him like an October-only investment. Then it turns into a baseball nerd fest in the best way: a caller dives into the strike zone math, and the show unpacks the ABS challenge system, why players want it in big moments, why umpires may want it even more, and how it could change in-game strategy. Is “best of both worlds” the right approach, or does full ABS feel inevitable? Plus, the quarterback conversation heats up. A Giants fan calls from Florida to question Jaxson Dart's durability, sparking a bigger debate about availability, concussions, wear-and-tear, and what young QBs need around them to survive in New York. Stanton's elbow, ABS chaos, and QB risk all in one stretch of radio.
It starts in the Bronx with a sentence you never want to hear about your DH: Giancarlo Stanton says his elbow pain is so bad he “can't open a bag of chips,” yet he's still talking about a full season. The guys react to Stanton's “mentally tough” framing, Aaron Boone's comments, and the bigger question Yankees fans can't shake: if this is what they're telling us, what aren't they telling us? From there, the Yankees' roster dominoes come into focus. Randal Grichuk arrives, the Domínguez vs. Spencer Jones conversation heats up, and the debate turns to a practical plan: should the Yankees slow-play Stanton early, keep him out of cold weather, and treat him like an October investment while the kids get real runway? Then the hour swings to football. The Jets make a major defensive statement by flipping Jermaine Johnson for massive nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat, signaling a scheme shift and a clear vision for Aaron Glenn's defense. Calls pour in on what it means for the draft, the front seven, and whether the Jets should build an elite defense now and attack the quarterback position later. And yes, we hit baseball's ABS strike zone chaos too, plus a Giants caller sparks the latest debate: is Jaxson Dart's durability a real concern, or is New York just traumatized by the “availability” conversation at quarterback?
After getting crushed online for his “next numbers to be retired” Cinco, Shaun opens this segment by admitting he missed some obvious names, most notably Carlos Beltrán, a future Hall of Famer likely to go in as a Met. That sparks a quick cleanup of the list, including the realization that Aaron Judge's No. 99 will almost certainly be retired long before some of the earlier picks. From there, the show pivots to fresh intel out of the NFL Combine, where reports suggest the Jets are open to listening on additional trades beyond Jermaine Johnson. The guys try to figure out who that could realistically be, why accumulating assets might be the strategy, and whether the roster even has enough desirable talent to move. Giants free agency chatter also surfaces as top agents meet with teams in Indianapolis.

We dive into a heated rant about the Giants' front office priorities, questioning why ownership is leaking PR spin to the New York Post to protect GM Joe Schoen's reputation instead of addressing much larger, real-world organizational controversies. On the Jets side of town, we take the temperature of the fanbase, debating if the head coach is already a lame duck and why settling for a veteran quarterback like Kirk Cousins might just be a frustrating "bridge to nowhere." We cap things off with a little cross-podcast banter and a quick hardwood update on the Knicks and Nets.
In this segment, we dive deep into the ultimate tale of two New York franchises, tackling the growing frustration surrounding the Jets and the behind-the-scenes drama brewing with the Giants. We unpack why Aaron Glenn's “superpower” rhetoric is falling completely flat with diehard fans who are exhausted by the "fake it before you make it" mentality, while contrasting it with the quiet, proven confidence of GM Darren McGee. Plus, we pull no punches reacting to the latest media leaks regarding Joe Schoen and Giants ownership, break down why a veteran like Kirk Cousins might just be a "bridge to nowhere," and even take a detour for a legendary caller with a jaw-dropping physical feat. Are the Jets actually turning a corner, or are we just buying into the same old grandiose promises?
The guys run through the best and weirdest sound from the NFL Combine, starting with Aaron Glenn owning his rocky first year and then dropping the line that instantly becomes bulletin board material: “play call is my superpower.” Then it's the Giants, with Joe Schoen insisting he was “behind” in draft prep but spent the week “crushing” film, plus more coach-speak from Harbaugh about alignment, vision, and everybody being on the same page. The segment also detours into Cam Ward's unforgettable “we keeping a book right now” quote and Rob Saleh's praise for Ward's work habits and leadership. And it wraps with Colts GM Chris Ballard admitting he hasn't been good enough, defending Anthony Richardson's development, and the ongoing league-wide obsession with finding the next quarterback who can actually carry a franchise.
Jerry's here again with John Harbaugh at the combine. We take a bit of a detour to talk about Evan suffering back issues. Then we're on to the Jets as GM Darren Mougey is asked about reaching out to the Raiders about their draft pick.
The Knicks' loss in Cleveland has Boomer sensing a "weird vibe" fueled by a terrible third quarter and coaching concerns. Jerry's update features Mike Brown's "ugly game" reaction, Kendrick Perkins "full-blown panic mode" comment. Meanwhile, Darren Mougey weighs Jets QB options and Breece Hall's loyalty, Joe Schoen discusses draft delays, and John Harbaugh emphasizes organizational alignment. Plus, President Trump's State of the Union hockey introduction, ABS challenges at Yankees spring training, and graffiti at the new Bills stadium.
Ian Rapoport, Insider for NFL Network, talks about the NFL offseason, including the free agency landscape and the NFL Draft. :00 - NFL offseason chat 2:25 - Wide receivers in free agency 4:03 - John Harbaugh’s impact 5:50 - Giants in free agency 8:10 - Possible extensionsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
