  • 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 10/26 I A Big Win in Houston
Q: Do you go for a stud starter and maybe not so needed position, or do you bring in two A- or B-range depth pieces to complement the team?
The hosts say a trade should bring in a player who can earn significant snaps, with the defensive line, especially a strong interior lineman, as a potential area to improve.
Big Blue Kickoff Live 10/26 I A Big Win in Houston
Q: If JJ McCarthy becomes a reliable quarterback on a par with Jackson Dart, will the Giants likely retain both of them, or will one of them likely be traded?
The hosts say the quarterbacks have similar skill sets, which gives the Giants flexibility to keep both or potentially receive value by moving one. McCarthy is under contract for another season, so there is no immediate need to decide.
Big Blue Kickoff Live 10/27 I Giants at the Bye
Q: Do you think, given the level of play he's at, do you think that we should rush, or at least maybe not rush, but we should definitely start to negotiate an extension with Banks?
The hosts discuss Banks' improved play and say an extension decision depends on his future performance and the cost of retaining him.
Big Blue Kickoff Live 10/27 I Giants at the Bye
Q: Do you think that we should rush, or at least maybe not rush, but we should definitely start to negotiate an extension with Banks?
John Schmeelk and Marc Malusis say Deonte Banks is playing excellent football, but the Giants will need to weigh his continued performance against his contract demands after the season.
Big Blue Kickoff Live 10/19 I Giants vs. Saints Review
Q: Should JJ McCarthy start at quarterback against the Texans?
The hosts say the decision depends on McCarthy's command of the playbook and readiness for the matchup. They recognize his mobility and late-game spark, while noting that Jameis Winston had played well in recent games and that McCarthy had only limited preparation and game experience.
