Listen "Belichick First? Why the Giants Must Hire the GM Before the Coach!"

Episode Synopsis

BT and Sal tear into the pathetic state of the New York Giants, responding to a furious caller who threatens to cancel his 40-year season tickets if GM Joe Shane returns—a threat Sal quickly calls "BS." They pivot to what must be done next, focusing on bringing in an experienced GM like former Falcons executive Thomas Dimitroff, whose proven track record (building the Falcons to sustained success after the Vick era) contrasts sharply with Shane’s failures. The hosts debate the correct order of hiring: GM first, then coach? They argue that only a Super Bowl winner like Bill Belichick should have the latitude to pick his GM. The episode kicks off with a heated battle over the Perfect Parlay standings, as Sal reveals he was "screwed" out of a win on his Turkey Day Teaser by a half-point line change, sparking a furious debate over NFL betting rules on a tie.
