  • 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!!

Q: Jeff, what are Saints people expecting from Tyler Schuck in year two, and what does he need to clean up?
