Marshall Harris 0:01

Rahimi, Harrison, Grody. It's a team sport. If you're mad about it, you know, take your ass and go play, you know, tennis.

Unknown 0:08

We like sports and we don't care. Who knows? Middays 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score. I don't know. What's up, yours?

Vinny Rotino 0:16

Okay. I see what you did there, Tyler Buterbaugh. So... This is the time where people start reporting to training camp. Rookies are first. Veterans are second. There are new head coaches in the NFL. We'll get into a little bit more on that with Kaylin Kaler coming up in about 12 minutes. Marshall's head is in his hands. This is painful. Because you know what's coming.

Marshall Harris 0:39

It's painful.

Vinny Rotino 0:40

Okay, first of all, let's whiteboard this before we get into it. Of all the teams in the NFL that maybe should have...

What prompted the hosts to discuss NFL training camp timing and new head coaches?

Vinny Rotino 0:47

Taking hard knocks is a cautionary tale, especially the mid-season one, you know, like a look inside your team. Might be the Giants. And apparently, according to research that Tyler Biederbaugh has done, they decided to have a series on YouTube called Giants Life.

Tyler Rhodes 1:04

Correct. That is what they have on the New York Giants YouTube page called Giants Life.

Vinny Rotino 1:09

And this is behind the scenes, kind of like hard knocks.

Tyler Rhodes 1:12

Yep. Exactly just like hard knocks, just like the Teemu version.

Vinny Rotino 1:17

Well, I think it might extend to the speech that John Harbaugh gave to the Giants to try to fire them up as the new head coach. And this is confirmed. This is real. And this is a clip from Giants life.

Unknown 1:31

Welcome, man. Good to see everybody here. You excited? Yes, sir. A little nervous. Nope. A little nervous. A little nervous, man. Nervous. Excited nervous, you know. Nervous like a full of dame almost, Mason. Give it a sick kick off. I'm standing up here in front of the New York Giants. The New York Giants. It's the New York Giants sitting in this room. The New York Giants. Wow, it's an honor. It's an honor to stand in front of this room right now. I know those coaches back there feel the same way, right coaches? It's an honor, man. We've been working heavily. We've been working early and we were late getting ready for today.

What is 'Giants Life' and how does it compare to Hard Knocks behind-the-scenes content?

Unknown 2:16

Today, sitting in this chair, in this seat, getting to work, getting started, our beginning, because this is where it all begins, to get it. Hey, you fired up?

Vinny Rotino 2:31

Don't do that to the late Jim, or say, he wanted to be on WXRT. He could play guitar. What? John Harbaugh basically just told everybody what we're doing right now, sitting in a chair, getting fired up about working. The New York Giants. First of all, don't you say football there? It has to be the New York Football Giants, doesn't it? I feel like it was missing every time.

Marshall Harris 2:53

I feel like it was missing every time. Well, you have to understand, he was addressing a room full of players and coaching staff, and there was just no audience return.

3:04

Yeah.

Marshall Harris 3:04

there was no mutually shared energy it was a guy pacing and talking and so the longer it went on the more uncomfortable it got for the viewer you the consumer you marshall harris me yes you when i say you i really mean me and it made me cringe because that's not what john har that's that's not what the hardball life is supposed to be about no it's who has it better than us nobody and everybody gets fired up and you break out your pleated khakis and then you run through a wall

Vinny Rotino 3:33

You throw for 4,000 yards and you confuse me because your defense doesn't always play well. Wait. A lot of that, but not all of that.

Marshall Harris 3:41

But also, Cam Scataboo, is he going to be good to go? Did he take that in?

Vinny Rotino 3:46

Bad decision doing the backflip that you didn't land Cam Scataboo at Fanatics Fest. We all want to do the WWE thing and jump off a top rope and all of the things.

Why is John Harbaugh's pre‑training‑camp speech getting attention from Giants fans?

Vinny Rotino 3:56

He has a surgically repaired knee. I didn't have surgery and you did and you get paid based on athletic ability and maybe that was not the best choice.

Mark Grody 4:04

He was just trying to show it off like how well the doctor did.

Vinny Rotino 4:07

You know I've been meaning to talk about that Cam Scadaboo decision on the air. Secondly, when I put this on the group thread, the clip, Tyler in his evil retaliation. It was evil. What did you do, Tyler?

Tyler Rhodes 4:18

I might have sent a little clip of, you guys all remember this guy.
