It's Boomer and Geo on the fan, simulcast across the country on CBS Sports Network and wherever you are on the free Odyssey app. Good Monday morning, MLK Day. I know a lot of you are off, but we are here breaking everything down. Probably got some people watching, more people watching on CBS Sports Network this morning to break down Divisional Playoff Weekend. Two great overtime games, one blowout game, one halfway okay game, but man, I tell you, Last night, the Chicago Bears and the L.A. Rams with this overtime game and a play if the Bears had gone on to win that would have gone down in Chicago Bears history as one of the great plays in their franchise history. And I'm talking the Bears have been around forever.

that fourth and four Caleb Williams touchdown pass to tie the game in regulation. Just amazing. Josh Allen is out. There's some tears there. We got a backup quarterback in Jared Stidham after Bo Nix breaks his ankle in the championship game. The Patriots are back in the Seattle Seahawks dominating. Tomorrow will really be a John Harbaugh day over there at MetLife Stadium as they introduce the new coach.

Good morning, Boomer. How are Yeah, good morning, Gene. A lot happened since we left on Friday. And a lot of that surrounds the NFL. And the first thing I do want to say in regards to that is that you remember there was a report coming out of NFL Network that the deal wasn't done with John Harbaugh yet. Yeah. And I sat here and I told you, I said, there is no way in the world that John Harbaugh is going to back out on John Mara. There's just no way. And I wherever that report came or wherever they put that report out and putting giant fans in a little bit of state of shock with with the contract not being totally done yet. I just thought it was really bad reporting because it makes John Harbaugh look bad.

And John Harbaugh is not one of these guys that is a Shiv guy. He's a guy that stands for what Raven football was all about for 18 years. And Raven football had always been great. It was great in the preseason. It was great during the regular season. He won a lot of games. He won a Super Bowl. And he always did it, I think, with the ultimate amount of respect. You know what I'm saying? Of course. There is a reputation that he has as a coach and that reputation is basically impeccable. It's impeccable. And I would just say that when that report came out on Friday, I was a little bit annoyed. Because my reaction to that report when you read it was the fact that this is ridiculous. He is not going down this path this far with Joe Shane, Chris Mara, John Mara, Steve Tisch, Jackson Dart.
Unknown 3:01
He's just not going to go all the way down the path that he went and then all of a sudden back out in the end. And you're going to find out what he's going to say next. I think tomorrow or whenever this press conference is going to be, is that this is the New York football giants. This is the Mara family who are respected throughout the NFL and always have been. And there was no way he was ever going to back out going this deep into the negotiation and interview process. So I just wanted to reflect back on that for a moment because that really, really annoyed me when you read it. It annoyed me when we left here on Friday and then, of course, on Saturday comes the news that he's signed the contract and he's happy with everything that he's got and who he's reporting to.
Unknown 3:46
And I think Giant fans should really, really be happy that that erroneous report on Friday was just that, erroneous.
Greg Giannotti 3:55
Yeah, I mean, I never got too worried because of what you said on Friday, and I felt exactly the same way, especially with the John Mara angle of this and who John Orbaugh was. And I never really got all that scared with some of the things that were being said because I feel like... Stuff like this happens in contract negotiations where they just have to iron out some details.
