In this SUPER BOWL XLIV PREVIEW, Dan and Greg briefly discuss their plans for the game and, ultimately, call who they like and why. Ironically, the two spend more time discussing the G-MEN, such as TIKI BARBER’s appearance on Mike Francesa’s “Mike’d Up”, MICHAEL STRAHAN being the sole Giant named to the NFL All-Decade Team, JEREMY SHOCKEY’s claims of harboring no ill will towards his former team, the hiring of new defensive line coach Robert Nunn, and a PLAXICO update. ALSO, is Tony Dungy overrated? Is Rex Ryan an idiot? And whatever happened to J.D. Roth??? As always, Dan and Greg address fan comments and hand out awards. All of this and a lot more on this week’s episode. ENJOY THE SUPER BOWL EVERYBODY!!!

P.S. This podcast is NOT as long as the file is. The length of the file is a technical error. Our apologies.

Who's it gonna be?

In this NFC/AFC CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND REVIEW, unfortunately released a week late, Dan and Greg discuss some of the then noteworthy sports headlines such as PAUL SHIRLEY’s insensitive remarks relating to Haiti, TIM TEBOW’s controversial Super Bowl ad to be aired by CBS, and GREG ODEN’s embarrassing (or impressive?) photos on the internet. Of course, the two also get into the Indianapolis Colts decisive defeat of the cinderella New York Jets. To discuss the Minnesota Vikings’ debacle against the New Orleans Saints, Dan and Greg have the NYGMen Podcast’s resident Vikings’ fan/expert J-LA, commiserating with him over what was, objectively speaking, an awful loss. The three even touch on steroids and concussions. And FINALLY, after managing to skirt the issue for some time, Dan and Greg get into the G-Men for a little bit.

Finally!!!

In this NFC/AFC CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND PREVIEW and DIVISIONAL PLAYOFFS WEEKEND REVIEW, Dan and Greg welcome childhood friend and Jets’ fan PETER to discuss the Jets’ gutsy win against the San Diego Chargers. The three also discuss the virtuosity of DARRELLE REVIS, the suprising and timely adequacy of THE SANCHISE, the choke-job by Chargers’ kicker NATE KAEDING, and the questionable coaching decisions made by Chargers’ coach NORV TURNER. Of course, leave it to Peter to overstate the potential of SHONN GREENE. Also, Dan and Greg proudly welcome their first international guest, Vancouver native BC MIKE to discuss the NHL’s scandalous Alex Burrows/Stephane Auger affair, the CFL, the upcoming Winter Olympics, and to follow up on the hidden, seedy underbelly of BC Mike’s hometown. And, as always, Dan and Greg call this weekend’s games as well as offering a brief G-Men update and handing out listener awards. This is truly a jam-packed 20th episode!

Seriously?!?

In this WILDCARD WEEKEND PREVIEW (and somewhat of a Week 17 review), Dan and Greg welcome back The NYGMen Podcast’s resident Dallas Cowboys expert REID to reflect on Texas’s loss in the BCS and on the Cowboys upcoming rematch against the Eagles in Dallas. So much is addressed in this episode that it is virtually fruitless to start enumerating. At the very least, it’s easy to say that the 2009 NFL playoffs and the New York Giants’ personnel moves come up in conversation quite a bit. Hold on tight because, even without the G-Men, this weekend should make for some really exciting football!

Who's gonna take it this year? Right now, it's really hard to tell.

In the first episode of The NYGMen Podcast post-2009 NFL regular season, Dan and Greg decide to take a break from talk about the Giants and, instead, have one of their old (and one of Dan’s best) friends on the program straight from his apartment in Paris: Jets’ enthusiast and degenerate gambler FOX. Dan congratulates Fox on miraculously winning their bet since the Jets unbelievably finished the regular season with a better record than the Giants did (except not really all that shocking for those who have been intently watching the G-Men for the past two months). The trio discuss a broad range of topics that include the Jets, Eric Mangini, Bill Belichick and his disciples, the untimely and tragic death of Casey Johnson, the upcoming Winter Olympics, Tiger Woods, Jayson Williams, and much, much more. The Jets are going and we’re staying home, but CHEER UP because at the very least BILL SHERIDAN is GONE!!

We know that their defense is good, but what about THIS guy?

In this Week 17 PREVIEW, the New York Giants travel to Minnesota to face off with the Vikings in a pretty pointless match-up (well, at least for the G-Men). Greg and Dan are honored to welcome childhood friend and fervent Vikings’ fanatic J-LA, who happens to be chillin’ in Argentina. The three spend some time talking about Argentina, Danish women, how J-La became a Vikings’ fan, and reminisce about high school. ALSO, we talk Brett Favre (also addressing the Favre/Childress affair), Percy Harvin, Adrian Peterson, Tarvaris Jackson, Chris Johnson, Visanthe Shiancoe, and JEREMY SHOCKEY. We even bring up good ole’ John Fox. We know that we’re done, BUT STAY WITH US!!

WARNING: Some may find this episode to be particularly off-color

Wouldn't it be nice to make things harder for ego-maniac Brett Favre?

In this Week 16 POST-GAME ANALYSIS, Greg and Dan are pissed and saddened by the Giants’ lackluster effort and embarrassing loss against the Carolina Panthers. In addition to talking about the game itself, the two focus on the ascension of Eli Manning as a truly legit NFL QB, the fall of Brandon Jacobs, the selection of Shaun O’Hara to the Pro Bowl, and the complaining of Osi Umenyiora. Greg and Dan also discuss Bill Sheridan, what the G-Men might care to strengthen through the upcoming draft, the state of the linebackers, the future of the running, and the condition of the secondary. ALSO, Greg and Dan argue for way too long about statistics and odds as well as addressing the trash-talking of CAROLINA’S STEVE SMITH, the Colts allowing the Jets to win, RAMSES BARDEN and, of course, Mike Francesa. As always, Greg and Dan respond to fan email and comments, give out awards, and call their top teams, including Week 16’s “Beast of the East.” And DON’T MISS Greg and Dan’s call for the Gauthier “Mic ‘em up” Consideration. BE REASONABLE!! We will survive this GIANT letdown.

Domenik Hixon and the New York Giants were buried by the suddenly dangerous Panthers.

In this Week 16 PREVIEW, the New York Giants host the Carolina Panthers in what will be the G-Men’s very last game in Giants Stadium. To commemorate the occasion, Greg and Dan welcome Winston-Salem’s native son CASEY to help add some insight on the collapse of Jake Delhomme and the struggles of the 2009 Carolina Panthers. The three spend a lot of time wondering what the hell happened to Delhomme, a one-time solid NFL QB, as well as pondering the fate of Carolina coach (and former Giants’ defensive coordinator) John Fox. Also coming up in conversation is the talented Steve Smith (which one?), Julius Peppers, the Panthers’ historical inability to string two consecutive seasons as a legitimate contender, and Carolina’s strikingly out-of-date nineties era uniforms. In addition, Dan regales Greg by describing his third consecutive appearance at midnight mass. All this and much more. DON’T MISS IT!!!

Will the absence of this guy help the Panthers ruin the G-Men's playoff aspirations?

In this Week 15 POST-GAME ANALYSIS, Greg and Dan rejoice in the G-Men’s drubbing of the hapless Washington Redskins. In so doing, the two give credit to Eli Manning, Ahmad Bradshaw, Kevin Gilbride, Will Beatty, and the rest of the New York Giants for a job extremely well-done (except for Michael Boley, on whom Greg is very down). ALSO, Greg and Dan discuss the NFC PLAYOFF PICTURE, DeSean Jackson, the Vikings (including the Favre/Childress Affair), the Saints, Mike Francesa’s GOODY BOWL, and much, much more. As always, Greg and Dan address fan email and comments, give out awards, and call their top teams, including Week 15’s “Beast of the East.” And DON’T MISS Greg and Dan’s call for The NYGMen Podcast’s “Generic” Condom “Breaking” Play of the Game as well as the Gauthier “Mic ‘em up” Consideration. LET’S BASK IN THE GLORY, no matter how briefly it may last.

Steve Smith was merely one of many G-Men to have graced the endzone at FedEx Field.
