I enjoyed the discussions regarding Saquan and his fate.

[Texzilla588 769]

This week’s episode was really good. I loved the player interviews at the combine and Daboll grilling them with rapid fire changes to coverages. Footage in those meetings is rare

The conversation on fat coaches running the 40 are great as well

[RPM 26,315]

Other than watching Worthy smoke the 40 record, it was pretty meh.

[Texzilla588 769]

Receiver dropped on Netflix today. 8 eps following Kittle, Deebo, St Brown (his father 2 time Mr universe), Devante Adams, Justin Jefferson thru 2023.

same.  going inside the interview room was pretty interesting to me.

[Texzilla588 769]

This group had been well coached. I remember Mariucci had a similar session on nfl network with cam Newton. Let’s just say he didn’t do very well.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,941]

The fucking poker table montages tonight were a little forced. 

[Minute Bull 248]

I find this Giants offseason show far more interesting than any of the training camp shows.  You’ve got scouting, trades, free agency, draft. Really cool to see honest opinions behind the scenes.

Training camp is boring, everyone thinks they are Super Bowl bound and it’s all sunshine and roses.

[RPM 26,315]

This show fucking sucks. HBO and the NFL sniffing their own farts.

His dad going on about he needs coke was pretty funny.   

[billfromlaketravis 11,445]

Is it the editing or is the Giants’ front office a collection of huge douches? 
 

I don’t understand Schoen and Daboll smartest guys in the room arrogance. Schoen hasn’t accomplished dick, and Daboll is a second year head coach with a losing record. 

[Texzilla588 769]

Agreed. Most team use a war room with all kinds of elaborate ranking boards. Schoen has his guys crowded uncomfortably into his office with ikea furniture and a white board. It looks amateurish and all these guys making million dollar decisions just spouting shit. They also didn’t seem to anticipate the moves other teams made.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,941]

This episode was fun.

Kinda dig the blonde. 

[MissingInAction 25,002]

75% of the show is a dude on a phone in an office.

After watching these clowns I'd be surprised if they win 5 games.

I haven't seen the one that came out yesterday, but I think this show is fantastic. I can't believe how much access they have.

[kevwun 15,758]

I thought it was a lot more interesting than a show mostly made up of slow mo practices shots.

He looked like he was literally about to shit his pants during the first round of the draft.

[4th&Five 41,506]

Daniel Jones is gonna get everyone on that show fired this season.

Shoene wasn’t the GM that gave Daniel Jones the big contract was he?

Yep. He became GM in January, 2022. Jones signed his extension in March, 2023

[Mac8111 2,105]

Jesus.

[billfromlaketravis 11,445]

Schoen seems touched by the angels. How many miracles in a row needed to happen for the Giants to draft Maye or Daniels? But he feels so confident in it happening that he mentions it while meeting his owner. 

[Texzilla588 769]

Schoen isn’t very clever. Hey Saquan you wouldn’t want to play for less so you get in the Giants ring of honor someday, would you? How did our free agents all leave. Daniel Jones we believe in you ! Where’s Tyrod? Which QB can we draft? I guess we’ll stand pat. No one was even calling him. Giants will clean house again after this shit season to come.

[RPM 26,315]

I'm sure Ace Frehley appreciated the residuals.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,941]

Training camp with the Bears tonight. 

[Texas St. Armadillos 1,381]

Caleb looks like the 2nd coming of Russell Wilson.  And I mean the Broncos version.  Something off about his personality.

Yup. Complete phony clout chaser.

The Giants and Bears’ facilities make NRG look like a hobo camp. 

[Baboontyme 2,809]

Hmm. I haven't seen enough of Williams to agree or disagree. I think he's got a pretty special bag, though. 

I really liked this. Better than any of the Giants episodes imo. The framing of Chicago was really cool. Top 5 series on TV for me. 

[Texzilla588 769]

The Saban conversation was a huge lesson in developing a winning QB. And how that QB leads a team. It was a lesson every front office and coach and qb could learn from. Dak is a perfect example in why he can’t put a team on his shoulders.

Bears have an inhouse barber. I think it was better when the players did their own and rookies all got their goofy hairdos. Or Michael Irvin stabbing teammates with scissors.

He's phony as shit.  All this confidence in him seems very forced on management's side. The guy screamed down teammates and literally cried to his mommy after a loss at USC, and they think he will be able to handle adversity at this level?

He can’t handle pressure.  That shit won’t fly in NFL.

[RPM 26,315]

That Chicago QB jersey has almost as many names as Cleveland does.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,941]

Best part so far is it isn’t the fucking Eberflus show. Way too many seasons are only HC-driven.

Our boy Collin got plenty of run.

Tyler Bagent’s blonde is choice. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15,941]

Pretty good episode. Rome sold some jerseys tonight.

Would like to catch some balls from the JUGS machine once, obviously with a helmet. Ex-catcher, so kinda been there.

Man this Bears show is boring….give us something, anything, like an interesting personality, some internal conflict, joint practices, fights.  Things are just going too smoothly for this bunch of earnest hardworking players and coaches.

Bears will be really good this year though, which pains me as a Lions fan.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,941]

Be honest, you would not possibly like any show on this planet with an OU player. 

[kevwun 15,758]

Eberflus is about as exciting as watching paint dry.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,941]

Ha, everyone yelled last season about Saleh, now they hate Eberflus.

Surly gonna Surly. 

[kevwun 15,758]

Saleh came us with 6 more motivational acronyms in the time it took you to type out that post.

[shadow_operative2.0 15,941]

And you fucked up your post trying to be funny. Good job, bro.

Whew, yes.  His wife and daughters seem way more interesting.....

Should have seen him before the makeover.

 

[Baboontyme 2,809]

He's way hotter now. 

[billfromlaketravis 11,445]

Can we stop with the focus on the wives and girlfriends? They’re probably intelligent, independent women, but they know about as much about football as my wife knows about my job. 

[Lat22 4,010]

I’ve watched them all, and I can’t remember one that made me want to fall asleep more than the Bears.
