    Does lance know that this is a giants show? ! One day he breaks down every detail from the 18 seasons of the ravens under John H which was wayyy too much detail and about as boring as anything . Second day he is reviewing the coaching vacancies around the league which is cool meanwhile there is a bank of calls. I tried calling both days and never got on

  • Glass half full…

    Shows not bad. I skip the shows that Paul Dottino guy hosts though. He is obnoxious and annoying. Also, ads are out of control.

Big Blue Kickoff Live | February 12, 2026
Q: What was the biggest takeaway from the Super Bowl?

Big Blue Kickoff Live | February 13, 2026
Q: Would you make a stronger case for offense or defense for the draft?
It's too early to tell, but if the Giants lose key players to free agency, it may shift their focus to offense in the draft.
Big Blue Kickoff Live | February 3, 2026
Q: What can we expect from Denard Wilson's scheme and how will it benefit the defense?
Wilson's defensive style may include a mix of strategic blitzing and a focus on pressure with a strong personnel system, but it's unclear how his schemes will adapt to the current roster strengths and weaknesses.
