  • Best Giants content around!

    Love this show, I listen daily, and have been for about 15 years. Helps me through the boredom at work and working out. By far the best show around, no other show comes close. Very knowledgeable, each and every host knows their stuff. Super entertaining, even during down portions of the football season. I’m amazed how they never take days off, it’s literally year round. Highly recommend!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Big Blue Kickoff Live 7/13 I Lions Preview
Q: What is the outlook for Jared Goff and the Lions' offense this season?
Goff has exceeded expectations since joining Detroit, with strong supporting cast and an offense built around him; the offense is expected to continue performing at a high level if the supporting cast stays healthy and the line holds up.
Big Blue Kickoff Live 7/15 | Cowboys Preview
Q: How much progress might we see from the offensive line this year?
The interior line is solid, with the tackles being the bigger question marks; health and consistency from Tyler Guyton and others will determine how well the unit protects Dak and opens the running game.
Big Blue Kickoff Live 7/8 I 49ers Preview
Q: How confident are you that Brock Purdy has put behind lingering issues and stayed healthy for a full season?
Grant Cohn and the hosts discuss mixed durability signals, noting Purdy's injuries in 2022-24 but acknowledging his versatility and poise, while suggesting the backup plan and depth will be crucial if health falters.
Big Blue Kickoff Live 7/9 | Seahawks Preview
Q: Is the Giants' tight end room poised to become a focal point in 2026?
The hosts discuss the potential for a one-two punch with Likely and Theo Johnson, with the Giants showing a willingness to invest in a two-tight-end approach that could stress defenses and create rotational mismatches across the field.
Big Blue Kickoff Live 7/9 | Seahawks Preview
Q: How might Isaiah Likely fit into the Giants' passing game this year?
The guest suggests Likely could be the primary target early in the season if Malik Neighbors isn't fully back to form, with Likely's versatility and alignment flexibility echoing a Kelsey-like usage under Matt Nagy, which could unlock many matchup problems for opponents.
