Had to post this because BBI was referenced as the source for a message thread from an insider for ChatSports Giants and thought it was funny.
Ha Ha listening to that is why I simply don't listen to podcasts. To hear one person talk so much are like fingernails on a blackboard. No news, just an opinion.

LOL - Very true, Joe. This appears to filmed from his mom's basement.
I always forget BBI is still around.

A commentary like this reminds me of a slightly modified old quote- Draft rumors are like buttholes. Everyone has one, and they usually stink.

Thanks Rich for the list. I know for example that the podcast by the Freakonomics guys is very good. My problem is that I just simply can't hear a monologue for so long especially when the hosts "insert" their personality into the conversation in the hope of making it more colorful.
My father had a great quote which he seared into his us which was "you have one mouth and two ears and you should use them in that proportion."

Your point about monologues appears to be a good one as most of these podcasts have co-hosts (and it's not uncommon to have guests). By having two hosts they can play off one another and eliminate your issues that come with a lone host.
In fact, the only ones on my list with a single host are:
Ross Tucker (he does have frequent guests)
Traina
Raanan
Stapleton
Leonard
All the others on my list have at least two hosts
He does tequila shots during games as dares for superchat dollars. I think he's classic click bait. :boooo:

Indeed! Why work when you can just sit in your moms basement and produce endless content all day? We're just products from a different generation, Joe.

On a related note, a coworker attended a meeting of a town's high school's best and brightest students (the mayor hosted it). When she returned, she shared with me that there weren't students wishing to become doctors and the like among the group. Still, many had career aspirations of being social media influencers.
Still think Maye is going to the Pats. Schoen has to get an elite wr threat, which is both smart and sensible.
Maye means trading up..losing our #2 and next year's #1 at least. That's a big swing. And there no reason to believe that couldn't be bested by another team.

That comports with my interactions with young people. My oldest son graduated with a double-major in electrical and mechanical engineering; this is great because he'll be supporting my youngest, who desperately wants to be a social media influencer (focusing on video games). It's up to the middle son to determine if we're good parents or not ;)

Don't know what the Pats think. I don't see Denver giving up so many picks to get to three. Minnesota really is ideal for Penix. He would thrive there. Maye needs time to learn and get better. He fits better with the Giants or Pat who will not win next year. The Vikings can compete next year but not if they take a QB who needs to grow. McCarthy as well. I think either McCarthy or Maye are good fits for both the Giants and Pats.

Someone should do a study on the % of time our beat writers have been totally wrong over the years. Old school reporting is rare these days. Click bait and talking points is the name of the game

Falcons Penix makes little sense. An older rookie who won't play as long as Cousins is under contract and healthy. Don't see it when they have other needs where there are players that can help them compete immediately.

The last part of that quote is "...and they all stink except your own "
In terms of action, it's poker guesswork. I know how this is also stupid season when qbs are involved (see the heralded 49ers Trey Lance debacle).
We don't know what will happen and have owners egos at play..too. But we're fans of the game. It's okay to speculate. Fun.
Art Stapleton swung this trade in his final mock
Giants get: Pick No. 3 and a 2024 fourth-round pick (No. 137)
Patriots get: Pick No 6, 2024 fourth-round pick (No. 107), 2025 first-round pick, 2025 third-round pick, wide receiver Darius Slayton
I think for a franchise qb that's super cheap.

Technically that would be the price of a potential franchise QB

Too much
We ought to know by now that people believe what they want to believe and as such will seek out whatever supports it. In the history of the world, has that ever been more obvious and pervasive than it is today? Pervasive not to be confused persuasive.
Wanting and needing to be an influencer on whatever subject can be a first step on a road to NPD of which we have become witness to its most extreme personification.
Yeah! I know. That's altogether gloomy and cynical and may not seem appropriate to the topic. But we should at least recognize that picking, choosing, and promoting is by any other name, sorry to say, propaganda.
Cheers!
That's about right, Rich. Not cheap. Seems similar to the Eli trade, no?
Would you do it? Yipes.

I wouldn't because the trade would leave the Giants in a position where they couldn't surround the QB with the needed talent
Quote from: Trench on April 24, 2024, 10:58:51 AMToo much
It's basically 2 1sts and Slayton, that's about as cheap as it gets for a franchise altering player
I strongly disagree about not having talent. WanDale, Hyatt, Slayton, Waller, even Bellinger had a very good rookie year.
With that said, I think it's almost a guarantee we go QB because it gives Schoen/Daboll a few more years of breathing room ...should expect a QB unless Harrison is there somehow

The job survival argument is one I really don't hope happens. No question..it will work for maybe 2 years..but that qb better move the needle big time.
I keep hearing the unsubstantiated claims that Mara "is meddling" Apparently even John Mara has heard them:
"They knew my feelings that I was hoping it didn't come to this, but again, at the end of the day I know sometimes every once in a while I read that — 'Oh, he's meddling, he's meddling,'" the NYG co-owner acknowledged candidly. Reacting: "No, we've run our organization the same way for many, many years. If the head coach and general manager have a conviction about a player or a group of players, I'm going to let them go ahead and make those decisions."

I get the part about wanting to be an influencer, it's basically being a con man. What I don't get are why the influencees are influenced by the influencers.

But none of those guys play OL and for me, until we see differently on the field, they are still the elephant in the room.
