Football Grump

Completely different kinds of players, but as long as everybody loves football and comes into the building every single day with their best effort in mind and walks away having given their best effort when they plan to show up tomorrow and give their best effort, you're still going to win.

That's winning football right there.

And

Yeah, I mean, it's such a clear and distinct vision that he has and a way of going about it.

It really does feel like a leader's leader in the building now.

I thought it was interesting.

Also, before we pivot into that, that conversation about like how much control he has, what the reporting structure and other operational changes are.

he was asked several times about like why the giants and outside of stroking everyone in the New York markets ego.

Um, he talked about the roster and said that his father, Jack Avon Arbaugh, by the way, um, that's not true.

Agreed.

agreed about the roster you know being ready and and specifically mentioned kind of quickly in passing quarterback offensive line and the defensive front as being you know parts that were discussed between him and his father could have just been you know an under the rug thing but i i don't think that it was so uh i thought that was kind of interesting that those three position groups were pointed out um

Well, I mean, I think he's been a Patreon subscriber for longer than just like the past, you know, two weeks or whatever.

Well, I mean, we can kind of get into the operational changes here between, you know, whatever was or wasn't the hang up with the contract seemed to be something that had to do with operational changes, reporting structure, someone making the final decision.

And it's very much that balance between John Harbaugh and Joe Shane, which they downplayed the shit out of it as much as they could.

They downplayed it.

I think the only thing that Chris Mara didn't do that John might have done was possibly walk up to the podium and start everything before Joe Shane goes out there.

Maybe, possibly.

But other than that, it seems like Chris Mara just fully was in John Mara's role today.

Yeah, I mean, I would say so.

I think now I'm going to downplay it just a little bit.
