00:00I want to get your reaction to the Thursday night game.

00:07I hit the Giants in five and a half.

00:09That's all I know.

00:10I don't really care about anything else.

00:14And the trend continues, Scott, of teams that are getting five and a half or more points.

00:19That's the number, guys, 5.5.

00:21Teams that are getting five and a half or more points are now 14 and two against the

00:24spread this year.

00:26An unbelievable run of underdogs.

00:29It just is.

00:30And, you know, last night, once again, the number was bouncing around everywhere.

00:33There was fives.

00:34You know, there were four and a half in a week.

00:36There were sixes.

00:37It was all over the place.

00:39Five is a strange number, guys.

00:41Any time you see a point spread of five in a basketball game or a football game, it means

00:45the odds makers are kind of confused.

00:47It's sort of like a neutral computer game for them, and a number will often land like

00:53it did last night on five.

00:55I thought the Giants played well last night, Scott, but not well enough, right?

00:59You've got to convert.

01:00You've got to, you know, you can't win just kicking a field goal, so there's no moral

01:03victories in sports, but with that being stated, the Giants are a terrible organization.

01:11Nobody expects anything from them.

01:14Malik Nabors is a baller.

01:15I think, you know, the Giants showed something last night, Scott, even though they lost the

01:19football game, and like you said, hey, they covered the point spread for us.

01:23You know, Nabors is unbelievable.

01:26The numbers he puts up are fantastic.

01:29I hit that over.

01:30I hit the lamb over, but he left with a concussion, so I always...

01:35They knocked himself out.

01:37Yeah, that's a concern for me.

01:39Like, you know, I don't know about you, but you start getting a bunch of concussions,

01:44and the next thing you know, you're two a tag of a low up.

01:47Yeah, you don't want to rack them up.

01:49You're right, and so this is the first one of his young NFL career, and as far as Daniel

01:53Jones, you know, the Giants, I kind of feel like they're damned if they do.

01:59You know, what do you think, Scott?

02:00Right?

02:01They could get out of this contract, right?

02:02This is it.

02:03So this could be the last year for him right now with the New York Giants, and you can't

02:07really keep him.

02:08I mean, he's been here five years, and you're spinning your wheels, and there's excuses

02:14along the way, because I think he actually is a pretty good quarterback, Scott.

02:17So my point is, if you're the Giants, like, really, what, you're going to re-up and give

02:21him another four-year deal or something after?

02:24No.

02:26But if you let him go, you know he's just going to end somewhere and end up being good,

02:30right?

02:31Yeah, it's automatic.

02:32Let me ask you, Scott, like, you don't think if Daniel Jones was with Kevin O'Connell in

02:36Minnesota that he could be doing the same thing Donald's doing right now, winning football

02:40games?

02:41Right?

02:42It's all about where you land.

02:43I'm not saying Daniel Jones is perfect and stuff, but he's got skill, bro.

02:46He was throwing bullets.

02:47He's throwing darts.

02:48You know what I mean?

02:49He's making good decisions.

02:50He's not a bad quarterback.

02:51He's been on bad football teams.

02:54I agree with that wholeheartedly.

02:56He's been on bad football teams, and he's not the reason that they're losing.

03:00Not only that, I thought last night, I mean, have you ever seen him better?

03:06He was, what, 29 to 40, threw for 281.

03:10He didn't have any tutties, but he was on point throwing the football, and he was not

03:16to blame for that game last night.

03:19The bottom line is, what we get here in New York about them is that Dayball has butchered

03:25this team, and that their offense is pathetic, and his play calling is pathetic, and he's

03:31driving himself off a cliff.

03:34You know what?

03:35The defense has been a real positive for the Giants.

03:37It's something that people aren't talking about enough.

03:39That defensive line is balling.

03:40I thought the secondary played relatively well.

03:44The Giants, though, the ground game, you're missing Saquon Barkley.

03:49When it's all said and done, he's running left.

03:51He's running right.

03:52You've got to run forward.

03:53They ended up at 26 yards.

03:55That's not Daniel Jones' fault.

03:57It's not Daniel Jones' fault that they've had a horrible offensive line.

04:00Think of the circus of coaches, Scott.

04:03Hell, when I was there, it's hard to keep up.

04:05You had the dude with the mustache, McAdoo, and then we went into Shermer.

04:11Don't forget about Judge Dredd, Joe Judge.

04:16If you're Daniel Jones, bro, imagine having a couple of beers

04:19and you're Daniel Jones talking to your buddies about,

04:21so who have your coaches been, bro, over the years,

04:23anyways, in the NFL?

04:25Thoughtful.

04:26Yeah, it'd be like he lays it out, and then meanwhile,

04:29Brock Purdy ends up with Mike Shanahan as Mr. Relevant

04:31and goes to the Super Bowl, right?

04:34There's something to it, man, who you're with.

04:36It makes a big difference.
