Chapter 1: What does Jim Harbaugh say about his brother John Harbaugh's coaching?
It started with a little bit of Jim Harbaugh talking John Harbaugh, of course, in the aftermath of his time with the Ravens coming to an end. Yeah, John Harbaugh is the best coach I know, best coach I've ever seen. And you may say, okay, well, I'm his brother, so I might be biased.
Yeah, just a tad, but Jim did point out the others who've been talking up his brother over the last few days, Tony Dungy included, and then speaking in general. It's so cool to see all my brother's accomplishments. And be recognized for that. And I just, as I told him, whatever team he goes to is going to be formidable. And I just hope it's in the NFC. For obvious reasons.
Yeah, the Giants fit that bill. Yes, they do. Make sure Jim Harbaugh is happy. Yeah. And wouldn't it be great to see a Charger-Giants Super Bowl? Sign me up. Let's do it. Do that thing over again. By the way, John owns a 3-0 record against Jim. Hence why Jim doesn't want to see him in the AFC. That's right, yeah. As his Chargers get set to visit the Patriots. Super wild card weekend.
We'll get a little bit more from Jim later on this morning. Now, as far as where things stand with all of this, the Giants did have the dinner with Kevin Stefanski Tuesday. Met with him again yesterday. They got the interview with Mike McCarthy scheduled for next week. They had the Mike Kafka interview out of the way already. How about Harbaugh?
Diana Rossini on her Scoop City show on where things stand as far as the Giants and Harbaugh go right now. From what I understand... Harbaugh really likes the Giants. They really like him. There's going to be a meeting, an interview set up. They're hoping for the weekend, if not early next week, to get him in the building.
Because they're basically clearing the decks like, we got Stefanski, now let's get him here. You got Trump urging teams to hire Harbaugh. He's going to get hired. That's for sure. We just hope that it's here.
plenty of interest uh but i would say from his standpoint probably makes sense to kind of wait a little bit see what happens this weekend with teams that may or may not continue on in the playoffs you made your eagles point already there's some chatter about the bills potentially so you know it's chatter everywhere you know my fans are never happy that's correct just never happy i don't you could be a buffalo bill fan you're gonna find something wrong with sean mcdermott well you know it's the same thing like the baltimore raven fan they found something wrong with johnny
our ball eventually it's gonna run out because it always does just like it happened up in New England with Bill Belichick yeah well especially when you've got an uber talent like Josh Allen as your quarterback and you feel like there's X amount of years you got to capitalize on that and if the fans feel like the coach is holding that guy back that's when those chatter things happen and
In the games where Allen did everything and left the field with the lead, and they still didn't get it done. All right, 13 seconds in Kansas City. Yeah, that would be on the list. Leslie Frazier come out of hiding yet, by the way? What about the Joe Shane angle for Harbaugh and the Giants?

Chapter 2: How do the Giants view Jim Harbaugh as a potential coach?
Ian O'Connor put out yesterday exactly that, that John Harbaugh isn't that type of guy, and he expects that Joe Shane will be there if John Harbaugh is hired. John Harbaugh understands. John Harbaugh. John Harbaugh. Red pocketbook. So he understands exactly that you have to come in and you have to work with people. Now, after a year, if there's a disconnect, that's a different story.
But initially, they're all going to have to work together, pulling in the same direction.
Chapter 3: What is the current status of the Giants' coaching search?
And the Giant Scouts have been working feverishly trying to figure out the draft. That's why John Mara initially said, I'm not changing the GM because they're doing all this work for the draft.
And that may not be music to the giant fan's ear, but I'm sure if John Harbaugh gets in there, they'll feel a little bit better about having John Harbaugh being a part of a whole, you know, what I would call collaboration and working together and trying to find a way back into the win column. You brought up the Eagles. I know Todd Bowles has said he's coming back with the Bucs.
Do you think that could be a possibility that the Glazer family changes their mind there?
Chapter 4: What insights does Dianna Russini provide about Harbaugh and the Giants?
Yeah, sure. I mean, it could be, but wouldn't they have done that by now to make sure that they got John Harbaugh's meeting in the building and set that up? Because everybody else is chomping at him. You're wasting time. Have you watched any of that documentary? What? The Bucs documentary. No. They have a history of doing some back-channeling stuff. That's the only reason I ask.
Well, yeah, I actually brought this up yesterday. I mean, they'd done some wacky things with head coaches. They went and traded for John Gruden and all of that stuff. So we know that that is something that's been in their history, but with that same ownership. Yeah, I don't know. But, I mean, where do the Bucs land in this whole thing if that job becomes available?
Is John Harbaugh looking at Tampa Bay as a better place than the Giants? I mean, obviously, lifestyle, yes, with the weather and everything else, but team-wise... I mean, I know they've been good and they've won divisions, but you're at the prenatal stage with the New York Giants. So that is intriguing. You can only go one way with the New York Giants, and that is up. That is a fair point.
And that is a legacy franchise that's ready to explode if the right decisions are made here. And it's either Harbaugh or Stefanski. For me, that's where I sit. But then again, I'm not over in those meetings, so I'm not listening to what they're saying to each other. Let's get to the Knicks now.
Not a great first half last night at the Garden against a Clippers team that has been playing better of late, but the Knicks did take care of business third quarter into the fourth to snap their four-game skid. 101-92 New York. Four minutes into the fourth quarter. Towns barreling to the rim. He's got two more. Carl Anthony Towns with 19. That's Tyler Murr at MSG.
Bounce back for Carl Anthony Towns. 20 points, 11 rebounds, and a season-high 7 assists. Jalen Brunson at 26 points. Very efficient shooting night for him. 9 of 12 from the field, and the Knicks cruise past the Clippers. 123-111. 10 points for Cat in the fourth quarter alone after a very quiet game Monday in Detroit. I was listening to a lot of this game on the radio last night.
and our boy Wally Zerbiak, good old Wally Zerbiak, the lead PLT tour member. Sure. Professional leisure tour member. Yeah. Who plays on every golf course humanly possible. That's right, him. As many holes as he possibly can.
He did a great job, and he pointed out something early in this game that really stuck with me, and that was the fact that Jalen Brunson early on was trying to get players involved. And this goes back to what Mike Brown was saying about their last game,
against Detroit, how they weren't passing the ball, they weren't moving the ball, and it really stuck with me that Jalen was trying early on to get the ball moving again. And obviously, you know, it took the fourth quarter, but Jalen had a great game last night. Yes, he did.

Chapter 5: How does Joe Shane's role impact the Giants' coaching decisions?
There you go. Apparently the Wizards like him as part of their future. So there you go. Quickly, college hoops. UConn needed overtime to win at Providence. 103-98. You got Rutgers at Illinois tonight. Coverage on the fan, 8-15, with, of course, Jerry Recco on the call. Rangers, Sabres at the Garden. The Islanders off their 9-0 drubbing at the Devils will visit Nashville.
And the aforementioned Devils are at the Penguins looking to avoid a seventh loss in a nine-game span.
