The QB market has no middle class, and that is the tell that it is broken. Every starter in the league is either on a rookie deal, on journeyman money, or getting 40 million and up, with nobody sitting at the 32 million average where a normal market would put most of its players. Sam walks the value-added-per-dropback numbers through week 3 and finds Deshaun Watson, holder of arguably the worst contract in NFL history, sitting dead on the median while Justin Herbert and Baker Mayfield sit below it at 50 million plus.

After calling the Giants' 12–7 win over the Titans and reviewing the tape, Bob Papa and Carl Banks break down how New York found a way to win in tough conditions at MetLife. They discuss Jameis Winston's cautious approach, the Giants' red-zone struggles, Jevon Holland's game-sealing interception and why the pass rush wasn't always able to get home. Plus, they react to the devastating news of Brian Burns' torn ACL and what his absence means for Kayvon Thibodeaux and the rest of the Giants defense moving forward.

THIS EPISODE IS A REPLAY OF A LIVE STREAM ON THE FIRESIDE GIANTS YOUTUBE CHANNEL. Giants vs Titans reaction, live from the final whistle: Giants 12, Titans 7 at MetLife, the first win without Jaxson Dart, and Brian Burns down with a right knee injury in the fourth quarter. 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. Every Giants point came from rookie kicker Dominic Zvada, four for four from 39, 27, 39 and 30 yards. 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. Jevon Holland picked off Cam Ward in the end zone with 17 seconds left, his third interception in three games. Arvell Reese led everyone with 13 tackles. Tennessee gained 262 yards and turned it over twice, including Chimere Dike's fumble on the opening kickoff. All numbers per the ESPN box score. Then the Burns question. He played six days after spraining his left ankle in Los Angeles and left grabbing the other knee. Cardinals at MetLife next Sunday. Burns down, Winston at 118 yards: is 2-1 real?

Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.comAttend a Thriving Leader event: https://www.themomentumcompany.com/thriving-leaderInstagram: @the.momentum.companyLinkedIn: /momentum-companyWhat does it really mean to be intentional with your life and leadership?In this episode of The Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast, Mark sits down with Nelson Powell, an experienced agricultural finance leader who has built teams and markets across organizations including Farm Credit, Rabobank, First Bank and Trust, and now MetLife.Nelson is also an eighth-generation member of his family farm—and his perspective on success has changed dramatically throughout his career.Together, Mark and Nelson talk about time, relationships, mentorship, culture, and why some of the most influential leaders you'll ever meet may never have the title to prove it.For Nelson, intentionality starts with one thing:Time.You can't make more of it.You can choose where you invest it, who receives it, and what deserves it—but every day still comes with the same 24 hours.That means being intentional not only with your own time, but with the time of your family, teammates, and clients.As Nelson puts it, time may be the most precious asset we have.Early in his career, Nelson was chasing a very different definition of success.He wanted the plane, the vacation home, the cars, and the material signs that told the world he'd made it. He worked relentlessly—at one point spending roughly 320 nights a year in hotel rooms while building his career.Then one morning, he woke up and had to look at the hotel phone book just to figure out what city he was in.He realized he had achieved many of the things he'd wanted, but the people he viewed as truly successful were building something money couldn't buy: relationships, family, and a life they actually wanted to live.So Nelson changed course.Today, he describes what he has as “the richest life on earth”—not because of what he owns, but because of the people around him.Nelson has helped build agricultural lending teams and markets throughout his career, but he doesn't credit complicated strategies for that success.He credits relationships.Knowing people. Caring deeply about them. Learning the business. Finding great teammates. Understanding the challenges facing clients.Leadership, especially in agriculture, requires a willingness to dig in and understand both the business and the people behind it.Nelson has benefited from incredible mentors throughout his career, but he learned an important lesson along the way:The best mentor isn't necessarily the person at the top.Leadership can exist at every level of an organization.Sometimes the person with the most wisdom is quietly doing their job several levels below the CEO—and all you have to do is ask them for help.Don't chase titles. Look for people whose lives, habits, wisdom, and leadership are worth learning from.After working across multiple organizations and cultures, Nelson has learned that there's often a difference between the culture leadership intends to create and the culture employees actually experience.A mission statement sitting on a shelf isn't culture.Culture is what people live every day.And while senior leadership has tremendous influence over an organization's culture, Nelson challenges every employee to take ownership of the culture they create within their own circle.Instead of only pointing toward what's wrong, ask what you can personally do to make it better.Nelson also believes leaders need to stay connected to the people and customers doing the work.Information changes as it travels through an organization. By the time something reaches senior leadership, it may have passed through several filters.Maintaining some connection to the front line gives leaders a perspective that reports, meetings, and secondhand information can't always provide.Nelson closes the conversation with a reminder worth hearing:There are incredible leaders throughout agriculture who may never become a CEO, receive an award, or have a wall filled with plaques.That doesn't make their impact any less significant.What you do every day matters.The people you've encouraged, mentored, served, and influenced notice—even when they don't always know how to tell you.Listen if you are:Building or leading a team in agricultureTrying to become more intentional with your timeLooking for a mentor—or hoping to become oneNavigating a new organization or company cultureReconsidering what success actually meansLeading without a formal leadership titleA rich life isn't measured by what you accumulate or the title beside your name. Be intentional with your time, invest deeply in people, take ownership of the culture around you, and remember that your impact matters—even when nobody gives you a plaque for it.

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...

Jaxson Dart's regular season is over, but the Giants still have 15 games to find out whether this roster and coaching staff can keep the season from collapsing. Losing Dart takes away the offense they planned to build around, but it also puts Jameis Winston, John Harbaugh and the rest of this young roster under an immediate microscope.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Is the Giants season over without Jaxson Dart? Drew and Rob argue that the expectations have changed dramatically, but the remaining season still matters for developing the roster, evaluating the defense and determining which players should be part of the team when Dart returns.The biggest story is Dart's knee. The reporting discussed during the episode has his ACL intact while the MCL, PCL and meniscus were damaged badly enough to require surgery. The guys compare his situation with major knee recoveries from Joe Burrow, Carson Palmer, Nick Chubb and Daunte Culpepper and explain why they are much more concerned about losing Dart for 2026 than about whether he can eventually return to form.So what does the offense become now? Jameis Winston is the starter against Tennessee, but trying to run the same offense designed around Dart's mobility doesn't make sense. Drew and Rob expect a more traditional pocket attack built around the run game, play action and easier passing situations. They also debate the available quarterback options and why trading meaningful draft capital for a temporary replacement would be a mistake.Can the Giants actually keep this season competitive?That answer starts against Tennessee. The Rams exposed problems along the Giants offensive line, and Jeffrey Simmons gives the Titans a player capable of attacking that weakness immediately. On the other side, the Giants have an opportunity to pressure Tennessee's young quarterback, lean heavily on Cam Skattebo and prove that the defense can finally become the unit everyone expected.The guys also go through the latest Giants and Titans injury situations, Brian Daboll returning to MetLife, Darius Slayton landing in Indianapolis with Daniel Jones, and Falcons-Packers to open the Week 3 NFL picks.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Nick, Zach, and Alex gather after the Packers OT win over the New York Jets and pour one out for Zach Bako Bewele and Jayden Reed. We talk OL woes, the impressiveness of the defense so far, and prop bets ahead of Falcons at Packers on Thursday Night Football.00:11 — ZBB/Reed injuries and MetLife turf talk.00:23 — Is the Packers' offensive line hopeless?00:32 — Jonathan Gannon's defense is actually fun00:42 — Taunting calls: why they suck!00:48 — Degenerate Corner Hosted on Acast.

Jets fans take heat for the atmosphere at MetLife, and Evan Roberts wants none of it. After hours in miserable rain and another crushing loss, Evan defends the crowd, argues the stadium was louder than critics claim and explains why the frustration felt so familiar for a fan base accustomed to painful endings. Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash weigh in on the whiteout, the weather and just how miserable the entire experience became. The conversation then circles back to NFL overtime strategy after Evan realizes he had one detail wrong about the Colts-Chiefs finish. That correction leads to a deeper debate over why teams choosing to defend first may need to stay aggressive on fourth down, and why Aaron Glenn's bigger problem was failing to adjust his overtime plan to what the Jets were actually doing on the field.

The Green Bay Packers finally won a game for the first time since early December, and they did so in one of the weirdest games imaginable. Evan "Tex" Western and Justis Mosqueda take you through the comeback, which is just the third double-digit comeback victory in the last three-plus seasons for this team. They couldn't have done it without Lukas Van Ness' star turn, but also Skyy Moore's late-game heroics were an essential part, something that we didn't really see coming. Where does this team go from here now that Jayden Reed and Zach Bako-Bewele are out for the foreseeable future? Tune in to find out. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Packers FINALLY found a way to finish.After losing Jayden Reed, Zach Tom, Aaron Banks and Donovan Jennings during a rainy game at MetLife — and then fumbling the football down 10 in the fourth quarter — it looked like Green Bay was headed toward another crushing loss.Instead, the Packers came all the way back and won.We break down how a depleted offensive line somehow held Jordan Love's pressure rate to just 28%, why Green Bay's run defense has quietly been one of the NFL's best through two weeks, Lukas Van Ness' breakout performance, and the special teams plays that completely changed the game.But the injuries create a major problem moving forward.Green Bay desperately needs offensive-line depth, and I believe Kevin Zeitler plus another veteran tackle should be on Brian Gutekunst's shopping list immediately.There's plenty to clean up — including 22 accepted penalties through two games — but after six straight losses, the Packers finally have some momentum again.Let's break it all down.#Packers #GoPackGo #GreenBayPackers #PackersNow

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Ed Sheeran is speaking out after Macklemore says he was dropped from the English superstar's tour for making political statements on stage. In a social media post on Tuesday, Sheeran said dropping Macklemore from his tour was the promoter's decision, not his. Sheeran said he personally chooses not to use his platform to discuss politics. Macklemore announced on Monday he had been dropped from Sheeran's tour after making pro-Palestinian comments on stage at MetLife stadium earlier this month, which the rapper also posted to social media. Also AOC's ‘modern-day lynchings' claim torn to shreds online as Black hanging case findings tell a different story Most cases referenced in the letter led by Rep Ayanna Pressley were ruled suicides by law enforcement or medical examiners.

Shurawl Sibblies, MetLife's EVP and CHRO, shares what MetLife's latest Employee Benefits Trends Study reveals about the growing importance of trust, connection, and communication at work. She explains why employees who feel cared for are more engaged, productive, and healthy, and why meaningful work becomes even more important during times of change. As AI reshapes the workplace, Shurawl argues that the skills that matter most aren't technical. They're human. Meaningful relationships aren't becoming less important. They're becoming the competitive advantage. She tells us how MetLife is preparing leaders for the future by focusing not on AI tools, but on the human skills that matter most: curiosity, judgment, communication, and trust. Plus, Shurawl reflects on the life experience that changed the way she thinks about leadership and left her asking an important question: How do you want to be remembered?

Tucker Carlson doesn't know if algebra is real. I'm not joking, the same guy who constantly talks about the decline of Western civilization and how China is beating us in STEM isn't sure if math was invented by humans. Meanwhile, Macklemore performed at MetLife calling for a free Palestine. This is the Same Love guy, the one who built his career on LGBTQ anthems. Macklemore, the people you're covering for throw gay people off rooftops. We also broke down the settler violence narrative and why the Western media's outrage is perfectly calibrated to miss the point entirely, the UK sanctioning Israel this week while ignoring the jihadis operating inside their own borders, and I gave Foreign Minister Miliband an honesty translator he desperately needed. Keir Starmer apparently thinks the best way to discourage terrorism is to reward it.

Episode Detail This episode is a discussion of the thought leadership paper Bryan Falchuk published in September 2026 on a pressing an important question the industry is facing today – will AI spell the end of insurance agents and brokers? AI is not going to kill the insurance agent channel. That's not really in dispute, and it was never the right question. In this solo episode, Bryan Falchuk argues that the public debate over AI and agents has been fought almost entirely on the wrong terrain — demand — when the real disruption is on the supply side. Buyer demand for a trusted expert on a complicated, high-stakes decision is as durable as ever, but that says nothing about how many people will be doing that work five years from now, or how much of it AI will be doing on their behalf. Bryan traces the argument through a real disagreement with fellow industry voice Matteo Carbone, a landscaping-business example of what agentic AI can catch that no human ever sees, and the two mechanisms he thinks actually create opportunity inside this disruption: Empowered Expertise and Market Expansion. The channel isn't disappearing. How it's staffed, and by whom, is about to change faster than most of the industry is planning for. Show Notes: The Real Question: Demand vs. Supply Demand isn't the debate: Bryan agrees the agent channel survives — buyer demand for a trusted expert on a complex, infrequent, high-stakes decision isn't eroding. The real question is who or what does the work inside the channel five years from now. A channel can hold 100% of its market share and still be staffed by a fraction of today's headcount, partly by AI standing in an agent's seat. Where the Reframe Came From: The Matteo Carbone Debate The idea grew out of a real disagreement with Matteo Carbone, Founder & Director of IoT Insurance Observatory, who argues buyers won't shop and transact alone for something this complicated. Bryan agrees. Bryan's pushback: demand-side evidence, like low churn, doesn't say anything about how much of the work AI ends up doing. His read: most of the public debate is arguing past itself over demand when the actual disagreement, if there is one, is about supply. Accountable Delegation, Reconsidered Bryan is skeptical people consciously want a human to blame if something goes wrong, rather than offloading the cognitive burden onto someone trusted to have done the homework. Why it matters: wanting someone to blame is human-only, but wanting a trusted expert to carry judgment is something AI can plausibly meet. We already do this elsewhere, the same way fraud alerts and wearables already quietly do, without anyone consciously choosing to delegate. Why This Time Is Actually Different The Internet never displaced agents because it's a transaction engine, built for buyers who already know exactly what they want. Insurance is sold, not bought. Most buyers need someone to translate a messy, real-world situation into the right coverage, which the Internet was never built to do. AI can build context: interviewing a buyer, pulling outside data, mapping risk, and comparing it against policy language — the same judgment work a good agent does, at a scale one person can't match. Prompted AI vs. Agentic AI Most AI-and-insurance conversations assume a prompted model: a chatbot a person has to remember to open, which still requires someone to decide "today I'll think about my insurance." Agentic AI removes that requirement — in Bryan's landscaping-business example, an AI system already handling her scheduling and contracts catches a new tree-removal service line and flags the coverage gap before she or her agent notices. The real disruption isn't a friendlier chatbot: it's AI finding the need on its own, before anyone on either side of the transaction has done anything at all. Agents Are Already Leaning on AI, and It's Not Speculative David Embry, CEO of Mylo, described building AI that gives brokers a constantly current view of market rates and appetite instead of trying to hold it all in their head. Jason Cass has talked about agentic AI absorbing a large share of an agency's operational load, from paperwork to quoting, letting the same team handle more business with fewer people. Layered on top: agents are retiring faster than they're being replaced, and AI is what lets the channel hold its market position anyway. The Opportunity Side: Empowered Expertise and Market Expansion Empowered Expertise: AI that continuously tracks the market doesn't replace an agent's judgment — it gives them the raw material to use it faster. Market Expansion: the same pattern that built the Cyber insurance category is playing out with AI liability, data mishandling, and bad AI-generated work — exposures that need an expert to explain and sell coverage for them. Carriers are already excluding AI liability, and ISO is updating standard policies to do the same, while startups like Testudo build coverage specifically for that gap — raising the need for an agent's help, not lowering it. Why Humans Stay Essential: Analytical vs. Critical Thinking Bill Pappas, EVP and Global Head of Technology and Operations at MetLife, distinguishes analytical thinking (patterns, logic, volume) from critical thinking (judgment in ambiguous situations). AI is winning the analytical work, and Bryan doesn't think that's a fight worth having. The future isn't humans competing with AI for the same slice of work: it's AI taking the analytical load off agents entirely so they can spend nearly all their time on the critical thinking that was always the hardest part of the job to replace. Timing: Faster Than Most Are Planning For The cultural barrier to trusting AI with consequential decisions is already gone — today's buyers have spent their adult lives doing complicated things online. The technology curve is compressed: almost none of what looks like a real threat to agents existed three or four years ago, and it's advancing every few months, not years. Bryan's call: real, visible change inside the next five years, with the leading edge already visible in the next two to three. What To Do About It Agents: stop treating analytical work as where your value lives, start using AI tools in your actual daily workflow now, and invest in judgment and relationship skills. Agency leaders: stop staffing to today's agent-to-book ratio, and shift training budget toward critical thinking and complex-case skills. Carriers: production is decoupling from agent headcount. Give appointed agents real AI tools or lose them to carriers who do.

Cam Skattebo is back and looks ready to lead the Giants backfield, but his admission that one major injury nearly made him walk away from football changes the risk New York is managing. His violent running style is a huge part of what makes him special, yet protecting him may now matter as much as unleashing him.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.The Big Question: Should the Giants protect Cam Skattebo more after his injury? New York can reduce some of the punishment with Najee Harris, Patrick Ricard and a deeper backfield without asking Skattebo to stop being the physical runner that made him a fan favorite.The biggest debate of the episode starts with how little faith the rest of the NFL seems to have in the Giants. Mike Sando's survey of six NFL executives placed New York 14th of 16 NFC teams, Dallas is favored at MetLife, and Jaxson Dart landed on a bottom-10 projected QB1 list. Drew pushes back on the ranking and especially the criticism of Dart's decision-making after a rookie season with 15 touchdowns and five interceptions, while still acknowledging that the Giants have not earned the benefit of the doubt yet. Kayvon Thibodeaux saying the team “got a lot better” only sharpens the divide between confidence inside the building and skepticism outside it.Then Skattebo's story changes the tone. He told Kay Adams that he had promised himself he would be done after one major injury, and after last season's dislocated ankle, fractured fibula and ruptured deltoid ligament, he genuinely questioned whether he wanted to keep playing. He ultimately came back, stayed around the team through rehab and now enters Week 1 healthy and in position for a major role. The question is whether the Giants should use Najee Harris and Patrick Ricard to absorb more of the punishment, or whether trying to protect Skattebo too much would strip away what makes him effective.Drew also revisits Darius Alexander after Chris Pflum's film review showed both the technical problems and the flashes that keep his developmental upside alive. Greg Newsome's history with George Pickens adds another layer to Giants-Cowboys, Malik Harrison joins the practice squad in another John Harbaugh reunion, and Ben Barten is released. Evan Neal, Tre Hawkins and Azeez Ojulari all worked out for the Raiders, while quick hits cover Shelby Harris joining SiriusXM NFL Radio, the Giants' Week 1 stadium plans and the team's practice break before Monday.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

With US growth holding up and inflation still running above target, investors are weighing whether the Federal Reserve needs to tighten policy further or can afford to stay on hold. Drew Matus, chief market strategist at MetLife Investment Management, joins Bloomberg Intelligence chief US interest-rate strategist Ira Jersey to discuss this and more on this Macro Matters edition of the FICC Focus podcast. Matus argues that rate hikes would do little to address the forces currently supporting inflation while risking unnecessary damage to the broader economy, and explains why he expects the Fed to remain on hold. The two also discuss how the AI investment boom and household wealth effects are supporting US growth, why Matus sees AI as a potential source of job creation and productivity gains, and where those benefits could create opportunities across emerging markets and Japan. They also examine global fixed-income valuations, geopolitical and oil-market risks and why clearer rules governing the relationship between the Treasury and Fed — including the composition and size of the central bank's balance sheet — could ultimately reduce uncertainty for markets. The Macro Matters podcast is part of BI's FICC Focus series.

Jaxson Dart and Malachi Fields gave the Giants real reasons for optimism against Minnesota, but the same preseason game exposed how quickly this roster gets uncomfortable when the veteran starters disappear. The Giants may have found more young offensive talent than expected, while also giving Joe Schoen a clearer idea of where he still needs help.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Did the Giants' young-player flashes outweigh the depth concerns against Minnesota? Dart and Fields strengthened the case for optimism, but defensive tackle, cornerback and QB3 showed enough vulnerability that the Giants should keep looking for depth before the regular season.Jaxson Dart only attempted four passes, but his 14 snaps gave us plenty to evaluate. He finished 3-of-4 for 26 yards and a touchdown, and we separate his two sacks instead of treating them the same. One was a developmental rep where he appeared to stay on his initial read too long. The other came when Jay Ward went unblocked and Tyrone Tracy later took responsibility for the protection mistake. That hit sent Dart for a medical evaluation, he was cleared, and then he returned to throw the Giants' lone touchdown.Malachi Fields made the play and then spent the rest of the night proving it wasn't his only contribution. Three catches on three targets for 34 yards, a touchdown, a special-teams tackle and noticeable effort as a blocker gave the rookie one of the cleanest positive evaluations on the roster. Isaiah Likely also showed why he could become an important answer for Dart on third downs and broken plays.Matt Nagy's first preseason offense gave us hints of what the Giants are building: more under-center football, heavier personnel and an emphasis on creating a physical running identity. Cam Skattebo returned with four carries for 19 yards, Devin Singletary broke a 40-yard screen and Tracy's protection mistake became one of the game's biggest teaching moments.Odell Beckham Jr.'s return to MetLife brought plenty of nostalgia, but the real debate is whether he can win the roster math. His two catches for six yards don't capture every rep where he created separation, and his willingness to block and mentor Fields adds value. But Berrios and Fields provide special-teams options that Beckham historically has not, making his offensive ranking inside the receiver room especially important.Defensively, Jack Kelly, Arvell Reese, Darius Alexander and Chauncey Golston gave the Giants some encouraging young-player tape. The larger concern was the depth behind them. With D.J. Reader, Shelby Harris and several veteran defensive backs sitting, Minnesota found too much room against the reserve defensive tackles and cornerbacks. Deonte Banks had penalties that deserve attention, but his night was more nuanced than simply saying he was beaten repeatedly.The QB3 conversation also changed. Jameis Winston looked exactly like the steady veteran backup the Giants signed him to be, while Brandon Allen threw two interceptions and helped stall the second-half offense. That matters in preseason because poor quarterback play takes evaluation opportunities away from every reserve receiver, running back and offensive lineman fighting for a job.Special teams was mostly a positive. Ben Sauls hit from 46 yards, Jordan Stout controlled field position and Braxton Berrios showed his return-game value. The odd decision came late, when John Harbaugh punted rather than letting Dominic Zvada attempt a field goal from roughly 62 yards in a game where evaluation mattered more than the final score.Joe Schoen has already said he's calling other general managers to find teams with surpluses that match Giants needs. After this game, defensive tackle and cornerback belong near the top of that list, with QB3 at least worth discussing.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

The Jets may be better off resisting the urge to chase another quarterback and simply letting this season play out. Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber debate whether J.J. McCarthy would really solve anything, why Aaron Glenn's future complicates the quarterback picture, and how the Jets' three first-round picks could make next year's draft the cleanest path to finding their future at the position. Cade Klubnik also gets a chance to create some optimism with a big preseason performance. Plus, the return of football at MetLife brings a heated tailgate food debate, Geno Smith and Odell Beckham Jr. jerseys make a comeback, and the crew celebrates another edition of Idiots with Idioms.

Aaron Glenn could be trapped by the Jets' biggest weakness. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and they debate whether an elite defense can save Glenn if Geno Smith and the offense fail to score enough points. With the Jets potentially forced to win on the margins, every game could become part of the evaluation of Glenn's future. The Yankees also face a looming October lineup problem. Jazz Chisholm's struggles against lefties spark a debate over Luis Garcia Jr., Giancarlo Stanton, Trent Grisham and how Aaron Boone can keep his best bats in the lineup. Plus, the Giants' running back situation, Cade Klubnik's opportunity, J.J. McCarthy speculation, Tiki's rookie encounter with Christian Peter, and the return of football tailgates at MetLife.

Is a Health Savings Account Right for You? Episode 395 – A Health Savings Account, or HSA, is one of very few financial vehicles considered “triple tax advantaged.” You can get a deduction going in, the money grows tax-free, and the money also comes out tax-free. But they're not for everybody as there are some major caveats. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 395 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: is a Health Savings Account right for you? What would you say if someone told you about an investment vehicle where you get a tax deduction going in, the money in the account grows tax-free, and the withdrawals are tax-free when they come out? Such a product exists, but it's not quite that simple. An Individual Retirement Account or IRA doesn't work that way. You get a deduction going in, but you pay income tax when you take the money out. A Roth IRA lets you take the money out tax-free (with certain qualifications), but you don't get a deduction when you put the money in. A Health Savings Account, or HSA, is one of very few financial vehicles considered “triple tax advantaged.”[1] You can get a deduction on monies going in, the money grows tax-free, and the money also comes out tax-free. But there are some major caveats to understand. HSAs don't work for everyone. Only certain people can contribute, and when you take the money out, there are some conditions that need to be met if you want to take full advantage of the tax incentives. Here's how an HSA works. To contribute, you need to be part of what the Internal Revenue Service or IRS calls a “High-Deductible Health Plan.” The IRS defines a high-deductible health plan as one that requires an annual deductible. A deductible is the amount one must pay out-of-pocket for healthcare before health insurance coverage will share in the costs. In 2026, the minimum deductibles for a high deductible HSA health plan are set at $1,700 for coverage on yourself only, and $3,400 if the coverage includes your family.[2] Also, the out-of-pocket maximum cannot be higher than $8,500 for self-only coverage and $17,000 for family coverage. There are more rules. To contribute to an HSA, you can't be enrolled in another plan that is not considered HSA-eligible, nor can you be someone claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return. If you're not sure whether your plan qualifies, you will need to ask either the benefits administrator where you work or the plan provider. And for the record, Medicare does not count as a high-deductible medical plan. So, you can't participate in an HSA if you're covered by Medicare. As with almost any tax-advantaged investment vehicle, there are contribution limits. For 2026, you can contribute up to $4,400 for yourself, or $8,750 if your high-deductible plan covers your family.[3] And much like a 401(k), your employer can match your HSA contribution. In fact, in 2024 approximately 84 percent of employees covered by a qualified HSA health plan also received a contribution from their employers.[4] Note that the limits above are overall limits that include both the employee and, if applicable, employer contributions. Then there's the issue of distributions from the account. Distributions can be tax-free, but with some significant restrictions. To be tax-free, the distributions must be used for what the IRS calls “qualified medical expenses.” And what are qualified medical expenses? These might include hospital care, ambulance services, hearing aids, lab fees, dental and vision care, and other things. You can even use an HSA for health-care-related travel, massage therapy and substance abuse treatment.[5] [6] An HSA can be used for expenses both big and small. If your distribution doesn't meet the qualifications, any withdrawals after age 65 are considered fully taxable, like a traditional IRA or 401(k). Before age 65 there is also a 20 percent early withdrawal penalty. This means that, if necessary, you could treat an HSA as a secondary retirement plan. But of course, if you have qualified medical expenses that need to be paid, the taxation incentive would make them a better option. When it comes time to withdraw money as needed, you can either pay the provider directly from the HSA account (many providers offer the use of a debit card tied to the account) or pay the provider yourself and get reimbursed from the account.[7] Note that an HSA is different from a Flexible Spending Account or FSA. An FSA is another, albeit generally less popular, type of account designed to help with medical expenses. The employer generally owns an FSA, whereas the employee owns an HSA. But an FSA is also, in most cases, a “use it or lose it” type of account. At the end of the year (plus an optional grace period), you lose any money that's left over in your FSA.[8] Also note that in most circumstances, you can have a general-purpose FSA or HSA, but not both.[9] An HSA has no such restriction when it comes to how long it takes to use it. If you don't spend the money, it rolls over within the account. It belongs to you forever, even if you switch jobs. Of course, these sums, invested over several decades, can amount to a significant amount of money by the time you use them. Compounding plays a role here just like most other investment vehicles, only this time it may all be potentially tax-free. One final thought about HSAs. As we've mentioned before, the cost of health care for seniors can be staggering. According to Fidelity, a 65-year-old individual may need an after-tax total of $172,500 to cover the cost of health care expenses in retirement.[10] In the right circumstances, an HSA can be a tax-efficient way to fund some of those costs.
