What Dusty Just Done Did Starts at 0:51 Not only did we have this team come out of nowhere to be the best in the history Michigan basketball. The Dusty May Era is now a fever dream. Takes a little bit out of it. This is college basketball now. Understand why he wouldn't want to be a college coach today; he explicitly said he never got to feel like they won a championship. NCAA can be blamed for letting it get here but also they have no power whatsoever to fix all the things that mean the second you win a title you have to recruit your new team. Second time in a row the college coach the NBA took was Michigan's. This is not the Cavs; Dallas is a good gig. [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. The Future of Michigan Basketball Starts at 19:04 They're promoting Mike Boynton to interim head coach, with a possibility of permanence. Greater that 50% chance he's the HC without the interim title, but might execute a search. Five days after they announce a hire the portal is open for Michigan alone, which is probably what scared them into this now. McKenney is back, probably Cadeau back, direction of things is a battle to hold onto the transfer bigs. Boynton: got tagged by the FBI thing, can see his tenure as not successful, or successful for the Minnesota of the Big 12. He has a trademark, which is defense: five of six years with a top-20 unit. Still relatively young, can recruit. Program: "What option do we have?" UNNNNNGGGGGHHHHHH. Actual option: Josh Schertz! Trademark is twos, built a real roster there, is Dusty's best coaching buddy. Don't care as much about roster continuity (Brian Ellerbe, Sherrone Moore) because the players won't be around long. Also if you poach a coach you have access to another team's roster and coaching staff, whereas right now Michigan and the Mavs are competing for Michigan staff and Michigan and the world are competing for Michigan's players. Other names to look at: Niko Medved was our next pick two years ago, did as well as possible with Minnesota last year. Where is Michigan Basketball in program rankings? Would Purdue swap with us? Purdue built their fanbase over years of having a program, just like Michigan hockey. 3. The Warde Talk Starts at 53:17 What are you supposed to do with a guy who alternates between asleep-at-the-wheel scandals and national championships? Push back against Brian's assertion that people "don't want to work for him" because these are all individual situations. He's not a bad guy, but he's also not a guy who *does* things, unless that's milking the fanbase or turning Michigan Stadium into an F1 race of ads. His oeuvre is not doing anything, because that worked with Harbaugh in 2020, and now that's a modus operandi. Talking ADs history since Canham. Push back against Brian's lionizing of Canham: he was a visionary, but his record also includes Dr. Anderson and trying to prevent/undermine Title IX. We end up preferring Bill Martin of all our lifetime ADs—he built the boxes to prevent ads in the stadium. Don't think missing out on Les Miles was a loss. Brian's Warde assessment: He typed "how to AD" into ChatGPT. Does losing Dusty May like this change your opinion on Warde Manuel? No. But it's weird that he keeps surviving (no president to fire him). 4. 2027 Football Recruiting Starts at 1:20:46 Doesn't look any different from a Harbaugh class at this point. If you're good at scouting and developing you're fine. OL class is small but Lipsey stacks another elite tackle and they had to fend off ND for Louis Esposito, Rouleau is a Frey-type. Xavier Muhammad is a very good DT, Tavares Harrington a find at CB, and they held onto some important guys in-state in a good Michigan year. LB recruiting is still underfunded, Brian is fine with that because it's very a "what's in your head" position with no consensus on what schools want. State of the recruiting industry: Paramount got bought and 247 is getting raided as incompetent ownership sets in. On3 is more reactive to scouting this cycle, and almost universally rate M commits higher. White whales: #1 is CB Josh Dobson, Seth Tillman would be a big, big deal because DTs are hard to come by, Monsanna Torbert would be a big win over Ohio State. Lincoln Mageo would be a good OL to finish with. Would like to have more TEs coming in. 5. World Cup Starts at 1:50:04 Takes hotter than Dusty May's agent. Count how many times Brian calls USA "Michigan." Are the Americans the most pleased with their performance in Group Phase (2nd to Canadians). Freeman (son of Antonio) is very reliable defensively, main thing is you can put Dest at wing. Sauciest player in US history? McKenzie is everywhere, runs into the box from deep were especially effective vs Paraguay. Pulisic injury: not going to play him in the useless Turkey game, should be fine. Tim Ream has been trying to play soccer for us forever, always been the best guy on the ball. Decent draw, should be favored (when they make the field) for a couple of rounds. Success point is get to the quarters; they can go into a game against a world power and expect to compete, not win, and not win three in a row. Four years ago they were too young. Don't mind the 48-team format; it saps a lot of tension out of the Group Stage when three teams advance, but a lot of "small teams" have battled. Brazil is still working back to being BRAZIL. Germany is Ohio State but not a peak year Ohio State. France is super talented. Alex: If you play Bosnia and Herzegovina you play two countries at once. Seth: Actually it's more like seven point eight.

The Giants finally have reasons for optimism, but the cost of buying in too early is ignoring the same “ifs” that burned fans before. Jaxson Dart, John Harbaugh, Malik Nabers, Cam Skattebo, Arvell Reese, and Colton Hood all give Giants fans something to watch, but this episode keeps the pressure where it belongs: the team has to prove it.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Can Jaxson Dart and John Harbaugh make the Giants a consistent winner in 2026? They can, but only if Dart takes a real Year 2 step, Harbaugh's practice structure translates into September preparedness, and the roster's biggest “ifs” turn into actual answers.Drew opens with NFL Media's Eric Edholm laying out a possible Giants path back to respectability, and maybe even playoff relevance. The optimism makes sense on paper: Dart had rookie flashes, Nabers and Skattebo could return healthy, the offensive line may be trending upward, and the defense still has real talent up front. But Drew pushes back hard on the number of conditions attached to that hope. The Giants went 1-7 in one-score games last year, the Eagles still own the division, and the secondary still has real questions. The message is simple: optimism is available, but the Giants have to earn it.Is John Harbaugh the one reason this year feels different?The Harbaugh conversation centers on Charlotte Carroll's minicamp takeaway from The Athletic. Longer practices, more situational reps, and a tougher tone already separate this regime from the Brian Daboll era. Drew argues that Harbaugh may be the only reason to feel cautious optimism right now, because the Giants too often looked unprepared early in seasons under the prior staff.The Jaxson Dart section becomes the main quarterback debate. Gary Davenport of Footballguys listed Dart as one of eight players set to explode into stardom in 2026, and the upside is clear: rushing production, early touchdown-drive success, confidence, and a more vocal presence. But the concern is just as clear. Dart's physical style already created concussion worries, and the offense badly needs Malik Nabers to return as a true top weapon. Andrew Thomas' comments about Dart's improved communication matter because he has seen Dart's growth up close, while Isaiah Likely's praise carries weight because he came from a Lamar Jackson-led offense.Are Giants fans putting too much on Arvell Reese too early?Drew and Rob then move into rookie expectations, starting with Arvell Reese. Frank Bush's message was not to turn Reese into someone else or overload him too soon. That led to a bigger debate about unrealistic comparisons, especially the habit of comparing every athletic defensive rookie to Micah Parsons. The hosts agree Reese does not need to become a superstar overnight. A realistic rookie year should be about sound football, being in the right spots, flashing athleticism, and growing into the role.The episode closes with Colton Hood, who may be the rookie the Giants need most. Donald D'Alesio praised Hood's mindset, strength, and fast learning, and Drew explains why the cornerback room makes Hood's development so important. The Giants need more than another rotating cast of replacement-level corners. Hood does not have to become an instant CB1, but if he can become a reliable, physical starter, that would change a lot for this defense.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsAll episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Matt Money Smith and Lorenzo Neal report live from Chargers minicamp Day 1, with Money calling this the deepest roster he's seen in 10 years covering the team — and backing it up with a bold guarantee: score 24 points per game and they won't lose more than three. The key storyline is Mike McDaniel scaling back Herbert's throwing entirely to rebuild his footwork from scratch, with buy-in already spreading to defenders like Derwin James and Khalil Mack pulling McDaniel aside to pick his brain. Harbaugh's presser adds fuel — he called Quentin Johnston, Ladd McConkey, and Tre Harris all "elite," the left guard battle is Slaughter vs. Penny, and Money's AFC Championship pick is Bills vs. Chargers.

GET IN WE'RE BOOKING: THE VALIANT KICKSTARTER ENDS TODAY. If you want your name in the book, today's the last day to do that. Things Discussed: VALIANT: Sam's getting background to tell stories nobody's heard yet from Dusty May. Ken Pomeroy is going to walk us through the 2PA Revolution and how it led to some of the best basketball teams ever. John Gasaway is going through the history of his understanding of the game, and the Michigan fans who pulled him along that journey. Will Warren is going to get into the way strategy and analytics created a special team. Craig's book too. Alex Drain chopped it in half, and it's finally written. Texas Tech and Sorsby: Craig walks us through the judge's insane decision, notes there's still a four-judge panel (of all TTU grads) that it needs to get through before this really is a thing. The reaction of the league is loud, but they're not going to do 90% of what they threaten, for many reasons. Comparison with reaction to Signgate: Difference was anyone who knows ball was saying it's horseshit. What do TTU fans say? They say Texas has been getting players off for worse for a century. What's the fix? Probably one part of the story that eventually leads to a CBA, because that's how the pro leagues control this. In break: the 1950s NYU scandal in the context of 1950s NCAA and the players making no money as everyone was getting rich. In-state recruiting: Some big guys going out of state. Guerrant: let's see if Michigan passes the ball this year before we take an impending Oregon commitment seriously. Gideon Gash: TTU means Michigan can come back around; big loss for MSU. Whittingham has done a good job adapting to Michigan recruiting. Retaining Bellamy retained connections in Michigan and the East. Harding gives him credibility all over the Midwest. Way they reacted to the NCAA attacking SMSB was like early Harbaugh. Pat Fitzgerald's slow start means little; he's got some OL, and that's what you really need. Seth likes the Frey-type tackle they got from Brighton.

Carl Banks and Bob Papa share their observations from Giants mandatory minicamp, discussing the intensity and higher standard being set by John Harbaugh and his coaching staff. The duo also examines Denard Wilson's aggressive defensive approach, the competition within the wide receiver room, Deonte Banks' strong offseason showing, and why linebacker Arvell Reese continues to impress. Plus, Carl explains why safety Tyler Nubin must "overcorrect" his angles and technique to take the next step in 2026. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Chargers OTA Week 2 Buzz: Akheem Mesidor, Tyler Biadasz, Joe Alt & Rashawn Slater Shining!

Giants Scrutiny Comes The Giants have more young talent, more national attention, and more reasons for optimism than they have had in years — but that also means the excuses are running out. This episode looks at the cost of being under the microscope: Jaxson Dart has to prove Year 2 is real, John Harbaugh has to steady the culture, Kayvon Thibodeaux trade rumors will not disappear, and the defense has to become more than just interesting on paper.  Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.  The Big Question: Are the Giants a real surprise-team candidate or are fans talking themselves into another offseason trap? The answer depends on whether Harbaugh, Dart, the pass rush, Malik Nabers' health, and the new-look defense can turn the “prove it” pressure into actual wins.  Rob runs a solo show reacting to NFL.com putting the Giants among the teams facing the most scrutiny this season. The discussion starts with the obvious pressure point: this franchise has had too many losing seasons, and national media is finally treating the Giants like a team that has to show progress instead of just sell hope.  Can Jaxson Dart and the offense prove the optimism is real?  The episode gets into Dart's Year 2 expectations, Malik Nabers' short- and long-term health questions, Odell Beckham Jr.'s return, and whether this offense is still a piece or two short of being complete. OBJ is a headline, but the bigger issue is whether the Giants actually have enough around Dart to make the leap feel real.  Are the Achilles injuries just bad luck, or a real warning sign?  Rob also breaks down John Harbaugh's comments after Thaddeus Dixon, Roy Robertson-Harris, and Gunner Olszewski all suffered Achilles injuries during OTAs. Harbaugh said the Giants did not find a common load pattern, but did identify a similar movement pattern and added testing, body-movement equipment, and strength-training equipment to try to individualize the process for players.  Should Kayvon Thibodeaux trade rumors still be taken seriously?  The Kayvon Thibodeaux deadline-rumor conversation comes back again after ESPN listed him as a possible player who could be moved. Rob looks at why the idea keeps surfacing, why the contract number matters, and why a strong start from Kayvon could actually make the decision more complicated if the Giants are not clearly contending.  Then D.J. Reader gives the optimistic counterpoint. His “get-off-the-bus” quote frames this Giants defense as big, strong, fast, and potentially special if the pieces come together. That creates the real divide of the episode: ESPN's FPI does not believe in the Giants, but the roster has enough physical talent to make fans wonder if the national projection is too low.  The show also hits the Jaxson Dart, Odell Beckham Jr., and Brian Burns NBA Finals trip, the canceled OTA practice for a New York City community bonding event, and the live chat's questions during a solo Rob night.  Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

REMINDER: ONE WEEK TO GET THE VALIANT KICKSTARTER FUNDED Things Discussed: The Weddle comment: What does Bryce have to show this year to show this is working? Craig: If they win more than 8 games. Brian: Get the running game down. If he can read out an option everything becomes easier for him. Early Vince Young. Seth: He's got to show us his Detroit Hustles Harder side. There's a misconception in sports that money equals softness, but Underwood was the #1 prospect in his class because he was as much a grinder as he was talented. Let that show, and he'll win hearts and minds. Get to where JJ was as a true sophomore. Terrelle Pryor Year 2. Sam: Shoulda paid for a QB coach last year. He's got to stop looking at the rush. Statistically he was better than he looked. We're overrating his dismal Spring Game performance and underrating how often he had touchdown passes that his receivers botched or interceptions they didn't fight for. Andrew Marsh wasn't even looking for the ball early in the season. JJ Buchanan isn't missing the plays Freddie Moore didn't make. Whittingham recruiting: They're serious and they're recruiting the way they do, but it's interesting that they're also doing things that Harbaugh did. Tank (metal name!) Watson wasn't a Utah-style recruitment; it's a Harbaugh trick to go to big Southern schools and look at the late-developing fifth guy the scouts aren't watching because there are 4- and 5-stars all over the field. Is he a pure linebacker? Might be an edge, might be a Cole Sullivan. Sam: Dakota Guerrant is leaning Oregon but Michigan won't give up on him; they won't lose an NIL battle, but they need to prove they can pass the ball this fall. Gabe Osborne is the best player in the country; don't care what it costs. Like that he committed to hometown Oklahoma instead of Ohio State. Sam shares how Michigan flipped an NCAA decision to screw over SMSB by inviting all the campers to Michigan. Reminds us of the early Harbaugh alacrity in recruiting. Milan Momcilovic: Sam is down on Pope, thinks you don't go to Kentucky for any reason but money. Brian gives him a mulligan because UK was injured; Sam says if they don't go further than Texas this year he's fired. Funny that BYU has money as soon as Pope leaves. Michigan to play an outdoor basketball game at the Marlins stadium, because Fox was mad they didn't get to broadcast it if they played at MSG. B10 has rights to those games. Whatever the rationale is, it's a sad statement about how the sport is structured. The latest frontier is streaming. Seth thinks this is a very bad turn; how many streaming services do you need to sign up for to watch every Michigan football and basketball game this year? Worse, putting games behind paywalls is putting them out of reach of fans, especially young adults, who will find something else, cannibalizing your future (and destroying smaller market teams) for a few bucks today. Can't fault Dusty May and Michigan because they're just playing the game. I do fault the commissioner of the Big Ten and the TV execs who can't see past what money sticks to their fingers. Seth Dream: Cut out the TV guys, develop your own streaming network and keep all of the money. If you put a tenth of the money the TV guys get into production you'd have it. Brian: You're crazy; they outsource everything, and when they don't they create Big Ten Plus. Seth: not crazy, because TV takes a greater share now than they ever have before, because streaming is a new frontier that hasn't calcified yet, sports fans would rather install a free app where they could watch all of their games for free than six apps they have to sign up for. What makes it impossible is Michigan and Ohio State etc. won't like it because it's too fair.

Jerry starts with Mike Breen on the call in the final seconds as the Knicks come back to win. Mike Brown talked about Brunson's performance. Also, we heard from John Harbaugh, he's taking notice of the Knicks and wants to see that for the Giants. Odell Beckham Jr was asked if he has any regrets from the last time he was a Giant. The Yankees lost to the Guardians as Gerrit Cole did not pitch great.

The Rams just traded for Myles Garrett. We break down the blockbuster deal and what it means for LA's Super Bowl window. The NBA Finals are here. We break down Spurs vs. Knicks, whether we're witnessing the birth of a new dynasty, and we're making our pick: San Antonio in 6, Wemby wins Finals MVP. Then we head to the AL West, where the Mariners have taken first place on a six-game winning streak without Cal Raleigh while a piggyback rotation experiment has Luis Castillo confronting Dan Wilson mid-game. We also get into Justin Herbert skipping two weeks of Chargers OTAs to fly to Europe for Madison Beer's concert tour. Harbaugh said he offered Herbert a ride to the airport. We're asking whether that's the right call or a red flag for a franchise still searching for its first deep playoff run. Finally, we discuss Chet Holmgren's brutal series against the Spurs, the Chet vs. Wemby debate, and what his future looks like in OKC.

Three-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth joins The Carton Show to discuss the New York Giants' offseason, John Harbaugh's leadership style, and the much-discussed situation involving Jaxson Dart and Abdul Carter. Schlereth shares insights from his exclusive interview with Harbaugh, explains why locker room culture can overcome political disagreements, and breaks down why the Giants' draft class and offseason additions have him optimistic about Big Blue's future. Plus, Mark weighs in on Mitchell Robinson's mysterious pinky injury and reflects on his own long list of football injuries.

The Giants can move past the Jaxson Dart controversy quickly if the locker room keeps frustrations internal, but the cost is proving this young team can handle pressure without letting every disagreement become a public problem.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Did the Giants actually move past the Jaxson Dart locker-room issue? The answer depends on whether the leaders who spoke up — Brian Burns, Kayvon Thibodeaux, and Jameis Winston — turn that meeting into a reset instead of another storyline.The episode starts with the reported Giants meeting where Jaxson Dart addressed teammates after introducing President Trump. Drew and Rob talk through whether this was just an awkward headline that needed to be handled internally, or whether it was the first real leadership test for Dart and the John Harbaugh-era locker room. The conversation also covers Abdul Carter missing the meeting for Eid al-Adha and why that should not become cheap blame if Dart and Carter already handled things privately.Is this story actually over, or just quieter?Andrew Thomas restructuring his contract becomes the next major Giants topic. The guys explain why the added cap space matters, why Arvell Reese's rookie deal still affects the real number, and why this move is more likely about injury flexibility and cutdown-day roster moves than a splashy Odell Beckham Jr. return.Did the Giants just create useful breathing room, or are fans reading too much into a basic cap move?The OTA conversation focuses on D.J. Reader, Dru Phillips, and Patrick Ricard returning to the field, while also keeping expectations realistic because spring practices without pads only reveal so much. The defensive line depth concern gets real after the Roy Robertson-Harris injury, Shelby Harris' absence, and the basic truth that NFL injuries are going to keep coming.J.C. Davis becomes the offensive line debate of the episode. Bret Bielema praised his ability to play all four guard and tackle spots, while Drew pushes back and says the tape looks more like guard. John Harbaugh's comments also point to a swing guard/tackle role, raising the question of whether Davis is a future left guard, a real utility lineman, or another Giants guard/tackle project that could become risky behind Andrew Thomas.The episode closes with one of the better Giants stories of the offseason: Tom Coughlin, Eli Manning, John Harbaugh, Shaun O'Hara, and Gotham FC going full Mario Kart for the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation. Coughlin as Mario, Eli as Luigi, Harbaugh as Yoshi, and Shaun O'Hara as Donkey Kong made for a fun visual, but the real story is the charity work for families facing childhood cancer.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballsAll episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Matt "Money" Smith and Lorenzo Neal open by addressing Justin Herbert's brief OTA absence for Madison Beer's European tour, using it as a showcase for how Jim Harbaugh's player-first culture sets this team apart. Money breaks down what he saw at practice — the O-line being put through Mike McDaniel's wide zone scheme at full speed, a tight end group built for heavy 13 personnel, and Quentin Johnston looking sharp as the clear WR2. The back half focuses on contracts: Derwin James' extension as the highest-paid safety in football gets well-deserved praise, and the duo maps out what a realistic Tuli Tuipulotu deal should look like as the next priority on the Chargers' books.

Josh Tupou gives the Giants another big veteran body inside, but the sacrifice is clear: this still may not be enough to fix a defensive line room that already needed help. Eddie Goldman's workout and Tupou's signing show the Giants know the problem is real, but the question is whether these moves are actual answers or just late-May patchwork.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Did the Giants do enough by signing Josh Tupou? Not yet — Tupou helps the depth chart, but Drew and Rob argue this move feels more like a band-aid than a real fix unless the Giants find another meaningful defensive line answer.Drew and Rob open with the Giants' continued search for interior defensive line help after working out veteran Eddie Goldman and signing Josh Tupou. Goldman is framed as an older but potentially fresher veteran because of the time he missed earlier in his career, while Tupou is treated as a massive run-stopping body who gives the Giants familiarity and size, but not necessarily a full solution. The core debate is simple: credit the Giants for finally reacting to a roster hole, but do not pretend a depth signing fixes the whole room.The Tupou discussion turns into the biggest football argument of the episode. Drew walks through Tupou's size, Bengals background, Ravens connection, limited recent production, and the obvious question of whether a player with six games over the last two seasons can be sold as a real answer. The hosts land in a practical middle ground: the signing is better than doing nothing, but Giants fans should not treat it like the defensive line problem is solved.Is this actual roster improvement, or just the best available move in late May?The show also covers Francis Mauigoa officially signing his rookie deal, leaving Arvell Reese as the last Giants rookie still unsigned. The hosts are not overly worried about Reese because rookie contracts are largely slotted, but they do spend time on why Mauigoa's edge and attitude make him an interesting fit at guard once padded practices begin.Should Giants fans care that Arvell Reese is still unsigned, or is this just normal rookie-contract timing?Later, Drew and Rob react to Mike Florio's theory about Joe Schoen's extension and whether John Harbaugh needs Schoen around as a potential scapegoat if the season goes wrong. The hosts strongly push back on that idea, arguing that Harbaugh does not fit the profile of a coach looking for a built-in excuse, and that if Harbaugh truly wanted Schoen gone, the Giants likely would have moved on already.The episode wraps with broader Giants roster talk, front-office frustration, and some classic Goofball tangents, including the hosts reacting to chat comments, joking about old friendships, weight loss, former Giants receiver Parris Campbell retiring, and a quick side conversation on Kyler Murray and the Cardinals.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

The Giants are trying to be smart with Andrew Thomas, Malik Nabers, and Darius Slayton, but every cautious update raises the same problem: this roster may only work if the key pieces are actually available. Joe Schoen's multi-year extension adds another layer, because now the Giants are betting that better coaching and better health can finally make his roster look different.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.The Big Question: Are the Giants being smart with injury management, or are they already exposing a September problem? The answer is probably both: it is only May, but Andrew Thomas, Malik Nabers, and the offensive line are too important to ignore when the updates start piling up.Drew and Rob opened the show with the Joe Schoen extension after the Giants announced a multi-year deal for their general manager. Drew questioned the timing and the message after several rough years, player relationship concerns, and the Dexter Lawrence fallout, while Rob pushed back on how much of Schoen's evaluation has to be tied to the coaching staff he had in place before John Harbaugh arrived. The debate came down to whether this season finally separates Schoen's roster decisions from Brian Daboll's coaching issues, or whether the Giants just rewarded a front office that still has not won enough.The main injury conversation centered on Andrew Thomas. John Harbaugh said the Giants are working Thomas back and managing his reps, while Thomas said the goal is being ready for September. Drew's concern was not that a veteran is being managed in OTAs; it is that Thomas has an injury history and the entire offensive line changes if he is not right. Rob pushed the “it is May” side of the argument, but both agreed that Marcus Mbow getting left tackle reps matters because the Giants need a real answer if Thomas misses time again.Malik Nabers became the next big concern after Harbaugh described his ACL recovery as a tough, grinding process and said the Giants will be ready whether he is back right away or not. Drew and Rob debated the mental side of a first major injury, how much training camp or preseason work Nabers should get, and why rushing him back would be a bad gamble even if everyone wants him ready for Week 1. Darius Slayton's sports hernia surgery, Jalin Hyatt leaving practice early, Roy Robertson-Harris leaving early, and several veterans sitting out added to the larger question of whether the Giants are simply being cautious or already dealing with a real availability issue.The episode also touched on Andrew Thomas' comments about Dexter Lawrence moving on, Ar'Darius Washington getting slot work with Dru Phillips out, Harbaugh calling OTAs a “fast rehearsal,” the rookies needing to “hit the gas,” and John Mara being spotted at practice. The tone of the show stayed right where Giants fans are right now: hopeful because the coaching staff feels more serious, but not ready to trust anything until the wins and health actually show up.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Joe Schoen receives a contract extension, prompting Chris “The Rooster” Russell to bring in A-MAC, a resident Giants fan, to assess the move and what it signals about the franchise's direction. The conversation explores how Schoen's continued tenure could shape the organization's relationship with head coach Jim Harbaugh, including whether that dynamic influences long-term roster construction, stability, and expectations in New York. From there, the discussion broadens to the wider NFC East landscape, examining how the extension impacts the competitive balance within the division and what it could mean for the future trajectory of the Washington Commanders as they continue building under their current regime.

Monte and Sal dive into the latest Giants sound bites from OTAAs, praising Kavon Thibodeaux's professionalism and motivation in his contract year while breaking down how the new defense under John Harbaugh and Dennard Wilson will deploy him alongside the revamped linebacker group. They then preview the full 2025 schedule in quarters, delivering win predictions for every stretch of games and sharing their overall optimism that the Giants are built for double digit wins in Year 1 of the Harbaugh era.Follow Us:@HesAGiantPod@montecri5to@queens_guy

John Harbaugh gave Giants fans the edge they have been begging for, but calling out the Cowboys also raises the pressure on Big Blue to back it up in Week 1.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.The Big Question: Is John Harbaugh's Cowboys callout good for the Giants? It can be if the harder standard shows up in practice, discipline, and Week 1 execution, but until the Giants beat Dallas when it counts, it is still just a receipt waiting to be cashed.Drew and Rob react to Harbaugh's Town Hall comments about wanting the Giants to be good enough to “kick the Cowboys' ass,” CeeDee Lamb answering back with “lol that's cute,” and why this Week 1 Sunday Night Football matchup already feels personal. The Cowboys have controlled this rivalry for too long, but Jaxson Dart finally gave Giants fans something to point to after last year's win, and Harbaugh is clearly not interested in tiptoeing into the NFC East.The conversation then shifts to Dexter Lawrence, and Harbaugh's blunt “he can go live his life” answer after Lawrence's exit. Drew and Rob get into why Dexter's departure still bothers Giants fans, why the lack of a real goodbye matters, and why Harbaugh's comment felt like a direct defense of the players who actually want to be in the building.From there, the show turns into a bigger debate about the new Harbaugh standard. Kayvon Thibodeaux says things are different. Jaxson Dart says Harbaugh's intensity and attention to detail are obvious. Drew and Rob like the tone, but they are not ready to buy another offseason “vibes are different” story until wins follow.Dart's playing style also becomes a major topic. He says he knows the most important thing is staying on the field, but he also made it clear that on third or fourth down, he is still willing to go through a defender. That leads to the obvious Giants fan plea: slide. Keep the edge, keep the toughness, but stop giving away your availability.The defense gets a long look too, especially Dennard Wilson being compared to Wink Martindale. Kayvon pointed out the similarities, Brandon Brown talked about pressure from different alignments, and Brian Burns praised Wilson's black-and-white, no-BS coaching style. Drew and Rob explain why the aggression is exciting, why Arvell Reese could fit that world, and why Wilson still has to avoid the worst parts of the old Wink experience.The episode closes with early Giants record predictions, the Dolphins joint-practice news, OTAs beginning, and why the guys are not falling for every fake offseason hype story just because somebody looked good in shorts.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Garret and Andrew fire up a fast paced round of Booming Bench Bust, putting dynasty favorites into three buckets and forcing clear takes instead of the usual keep trade cut hedging. Garret frames it as a gut check game, and Andrew leans into ceiling and situation, even when it means making uncomfortable calls on big names. Listen to This Episode: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube The show opens with a tricky wide receiver trio where Andrew crowns George Pickens as the boom, slots Garrett Wilson as the bench, and tags Chris Olave as the bust based on target competition. Garret counters by calling Garrett Wilson his boom and pushing Pickens into bust territory due to volatility and situational risk. At quarterback, both agree Joe Burrow carries the biggest boom profile, but they split on the bench bust debate between Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, with Garret worried about Herbert's volume under Harbaugh. At running back, both side with Kenneth Walker as the boom over Breece Hall and Quinshon Judkins, then align again on a second trio by making Javonte Williams the boom and fading Josh Jacobs. Tight end debate follows, with both landing on Sam LaPorta as the bust, while Garret pushes Kyle Pitts as his boom. The episode closes with a fun QB2 swing where Andrew bets on Ty Simpson as the long play boom, while Garret plants a flag on Daniel Jones as a potential career resurgence.

Ken and Lima field calls on the LeBron debate before pivoting to the Browns, where Ken makes the case that all the buzz around sixth-round pick Taylen Green is not hype for hype's sake but a symptom of real desperation to fix an offense that has been holding back one of the top five defenses in the NFL. Mary Kay Cabot weighs in with cautious optimism that Green could actually see the field early in short-yardage situations if he cleans up his turnover issues, which Ken takes as validation that this is a legitimate conversation worth having. Ken also points out that the AFC North is more beatable than it has been in years, with questions surrounding Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and the Ravens post-Harbaugh, making the urgency to fix the offense right now even more acute. The bottom line from Ken is blunt: every year you waste without a quarterback is another year you're burning down a great defense that will not last forever.

If they come at him like the Chargers came at Harbaugh, but May isn't there, has zero indication he wants to leave now. Sam shares how the whole Juke Harris thing went down. Shares Xavier Stanton was coming to Michigan at one point. Michigan's admissions policy: Get the best. Standing on 60 credits as THE LINE between academics and not. During break: Skyler Bell's recruitment relived. He was right to stay at UConn. Bryce concern: Overblown. Spring game was hardly representative. Some concern, though, because it's important to develop him and he looked like he lost a year of development. Passing game needs to be better. If he's not a better passer they're doomed in 2027.

Art talks John Harbaugh's first two draft picks as the head coach of Big Blue. Welcome Arvell Reese and Francis Mauigoa!

A draft that flips expectations Uncertainty rules the 2026 NFL draft. Only one quarterback looks like a first-round lock. The wide receivers, once viewed as light, surged into the star group. Running back thins after Jeremiah Love. The board pushes teams toward less celebrated positions. That creates value and hard choices. It also exposes which front offices are organized and which are guessing. Tight ends, safeties and OL carry the board This Detroit Lions Podcast episode zeroes in on where the talent sits. Tight end is a headline. Kenyan Sadiq grades as a top-tier prospect and projects to go very early. Safety is strong and deeper than usual. Interior offensive line offers starter traits into Day Two. Offensive tackle holds up well, too. The sweet spot stretches through Day Two and into Day Three for these groups. Teams willing to invest in non-premium positions can clean up. That mirrors how the Detroit Lions built recent drafts with results. The conversation tracked how recent cycles elevated quarterback, running back and wide receiver. This year tilts differently. Safeties and tight ends stand out. Interior linemen anchor the depth. It is not a bad class. It is a unique class that demands precision and a clear plan. Linebacker calculus and Detroit lessons Linebacker is still devalued on draft night, but the names have juice. Arvel Reed and Niese Styles headline. CJ Allen is climbing. Jacob Rodriguez could even sneak in, depending on need. Teams hesitate unless the traits scream All-Pro. The Lions have shown it can work. They invested in Jack Campbell. They added Brian Branch and Sam LaPorta. They hit on Jabir Gibbs. Non-premium positions produced premium impact. This class lines up with that approach, especially on Day Two and Day Three. Trade talk and board ripple The Dexter Lawrence trade drew measured praise. New York did well. Cincinnati's angle also tracks. They never truly replaced DJ Reed and missed that presence. Moves like that shift boards. Safety runs can start earlier. Offensive line plans adjust. Big-name safeties can still slide outside the top 10 or even top 20, but the overall depth gives teams options. For Detroit, the value bands match where the roster-building model has thrived. Tight ends, safeties and offensive linemen anchor this draft. That is where the 2026 NFL board feels strongest and where smart clubs can separate. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #2026nfldraft #tampabaybuccaneers #kenyonsaddiq #drewallar #minnesotavikings #draftinpittsburgh Learn more about your ad choices.
