What are Boomer and Gio's thoughts on John Harbaugh becoming the Giants' new head coach?
I feel great for Giants fans today because they they got their guy and this could be the franchise shifting move that puts them back in the championship conversation I believe that it does this is going to be a fun one today it's everything that every Giant fan wanted and it happened last night they went all in to get their guy and it looks like they did good morning Boomer how How are you?
Yeah, good morning, G. And I would say, yes, I agree with you 100%. This is exactly what we were talking about last week. Before we thought maybe Stephen Ross would jump in and go grab John Harbaugh and just give him whatever he wanted down there in Miami when they let go of Mike McDaniel. We were like, that caught us all off guard. But initially it was like the best fit was Kevin Stefanski. After Kevin Stefanski, then all of a sudden John Harbaugh was let go by Steve Busciotti down in Baltimore, and he is the number one guy for the New York Giants. I hope this happens for the Giant fans. I hope it happens for John Harbaugh, and I hope it happens for the Giants and John Mara. I really do. I mean, I want...
If you want relevancy, you want legitimacy, you want excitement back into your team, Jackson Dart has brought that. There's no question about that. But that's on the field. You need somebody to make sure they're running the ship and they are in control of the ship. And the other good thing that came out of all of this
What implications does Mike Tomlin's resignation have for the Steelers?
which is something that didn't shock me, is that Joe Shane is not in any way, shape, or form inhibiting this. Maybe it's amplifying. Maybe it's helping because it seems like Joe Shane and, by the way, Brian Dable, Eli Manning, Tom Coughlin, Jackson Dart, all these people have spoken with John Harbaugh to tell John Harbaugh just how great a job this is. And unfortunately, over the last 10 years, they went to the playoffs once. We've been here, and it's not been great. And it's all due in large part to the quarterback situation and Daniel Jones not being able to stay healthy. So now I think... This is, like I said, an inflection point, a turning the page point for the Giants. And, I mean, I would think the momentum going into the 2026 season is going to be off the charts.
Oh, yeah. I mean, this is season tickets.
What updates does Jerry Recco provide regarding college football recruiting?
This is everybody excited. All of a sudden, the feeling around the team does a complete workaround. If they had lost out on John Harbaugh, we would have found a way to be excited about whoever the next guy was, if it was Kevin Stefanski. But the entire fan base would have been disappointed. Of course, John Harbaugh has his flaws, has his faults. He doesn't have a perfect resume. But when you talk about what this franchise has been, this is the exact thing we were asking for, but with the Jets. Last year, before they hired Aaron Glenn to get a CEO type, someone who's done it before, and that type of guy was not going to go and coach the Jets. And this is why the history of the New York Giants means something and the time that these guys are available.
And sometimes it is luck. Sometimes it is timing, and this was the perfect time for the Giant job to be open. John Harbaugh and the Ravens had to part ways. It had gotten stale, Lamar Jackson and him, and now they're coming together. And I was concerned.
How does Kyle Tucker's signing with the Dodgers affect MLB's labor situation?
I was a little bit concerned that Tennessee or the Atlanta Falcons would present something to John Harbaugh that sounded better than what the Giants had because the Giants had been down for so long. But they pulled out all the stops and everything they could do yesterday, they did to get the guy. And that means that, you know, John Arbol looks at the Giants as that premier job that it should be. And now they have the quarterback. They have the coach. Well, they haven't signed anything yet. No, he's the coach. Come on.
I just want to make sure that the contracts are signed.
Why is Gio frustrated with Al Michaels' commentary?
That's all.
What's going to happen? He's not Josh McDaniels. He's not going to go and then bail and go back to New England.
Look, I'm really excited. I'll get really, really excited once that contract is signed.
