Throughout the 1980's, the New York Giants were one of the premier teams in football, led by Bill Parcells, Lawrence Taylor, and Phil Simms. But by 1991, Parcells had left the team, Taylor was showing his age, and Simms had been benched for Jeff Hostetler. Coached by Ray Handley, the aging Giants struggled through two mediocre seasons in 1991 and 1992. In this episode, Andrew and Dan recount one of the most frustrating eras in Giants history.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to Chris Simms' rankings of the top 32 quarterbacks in the NFL. Where did Bo Nix land on the rankings? We go quarterback by quarterback and debate if Nix should be ahead or behind those individuals. Could Bo Nix be a top 10 quarterback after this season? We hear from Simms on why ranking Nix was so difficult with the limited sample size of two NFL seasons. Does Bo need to work on being more efficient and consistent? How much running will we see from Nix in year 3? Today's "Three Count" includes an all-time upset in tennis earlier today at the French Open, Shohei Ohtani doing Shohei Ohtani things by hitting a homerun and pitching 6 innings of no-hit ball last night, and previewing the Colorado and CSU announced game times and networks. We react to Von Miller making another plea to be a member of the Broncos again. Do the Broncos have a roster spot to use on Miller while they are in a championship window?

Prince George's County, Maryland, is a suburban jurisdiction in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area and is home to the highest concentration of Black middle-class residents in the United States. As such, it is well positioned to overcome white domination and anti-Black racism and their social and economic consequences. Yet Prince George's does not raise tax revenue sufficient to provide consistent high-quality public goods and services. In Fighting for a Foothold: How Government and Markets Undermine Black Middle-Class Suburbia (Russell Sage Foundation, 2026) sociologist Angela Simms examines the factors contributing to Prince George's financial troubles. Dr. Simms draws on two years of observations of Prince George's County's budget and policy development processes, interviews with nearly 60 Prince George's leaders and residents, and budget and policy analysis for Prince George's County and its two Whiter, wealthier neighbors, Montgomery County, Maryland, and Fairfax County, Virginia. She argues legacy and ongoing government policies and business practices—such as federal mortgage insurance policy prior to 1968, local government reliance on property taxes, and private investment patterns—have resulted in disparities in wealth accumulation between Black and white Americans, not only for individuals and families but local jurisdictions as well. Fighting for a Foothold is an in-depth analysis of the fiscal challenges experienced by Prince George's County and by the suburban Black middle-class and majority-Black jurisdictions, more broadly. The book reveals how race, class, and local jurisdiction boundaries in metropolitan areas interact to create different material living conditions for Americans. Our guest is: Dr. Angela Simms, who is Assistant Professor of Sociology and Urban Studies, Barnard College, Columbia University. She is the author of Fighting for a Foothold. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is a writing coach and developmental editor for academics. She is the creator and producer of the Academic Life podcast.

Prince George's County, Maryland, is a suburban jurisdiction in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area and is home to the highest concentration of Black middle-class residents in the United States. As such, it is well positioned to overcome white domination and anti-Black racism and their social and economic consequences. Yet Prince George's does not raise tax revenue sufficient to provide consistent high-quality public goods and services. In Fighting for a Foothold: How Government and Markets Undermine Black Middle-Class Suburbia (Russell Sage Foundation, 2026) sociologist Angela Simms examines the factors contributing to Prince George's financial troubles. Dr. Simms draws on two years of observations of Prince George's County's budget and policy development processes, interviews with nearly 60 Prince George's leaders and residents, and budget and policy analysis for Prince George's County and its two Whiter, wealthier neighbors, Montgomery County, Maryland, and Fairfax County, Virginia. She argues legacy and ongoing government policies and business practices—such as federal mortgage insurance policy prior to 1968, local government reliance on property taxes, and private investment patterns—have resulted in disparities in wealth accumulation between Black and white Americans, not only for individuals and families but local jurisdictions as well. Fighting for a Foothold is an in-depth analysis of the fiscal challenges experienced by Prince George's County and by the suburban Black middle-class and majority-Black jurisdictions, more broadly. The book reveals how race, class, and local jurisdiction boundaries in metropolitan areas interact to create different material living conditions for Americans. Our guest is: Dr. Angela Simms, who is Assistant Professor of Sociology and Urban Studies, Barnard College, Columbia University. She is the author of Fighting for a Foothold. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is a writing coach and developmental editor for academics. She is the creator and producer of the Academic Life podcast.

Mike Florio joins the show to weigh in on the ongoing Mike Vrabel and Diana Russini rumors, addressing the growing media attention and the ripple effects around the league. He responds to recent criticism and discussion involving his on-air exchange with Chris Simms, making clear that Simms' absence from Football Night in America has nothing to do with the moment or the broader conversation on ProFootballTalk. Florio also discusses whether Vrabel's job could be in jeopardy depending on how Russini eventually tells her side of the story, calling the situation a potential distraction. The conversation shifts to NFL business and league headlines, including reports that the Seattle Seahawks could sell for over $10 billion and what that could mean for future franchise valuations like the Dallas Cowboys, before wrapping with uncertainty surrounding what the Pittsburgh Steelers are doing at quarterback with Aaron Rodgers.
