Week 16: The New York Giants knocked out by the Carolina Panthers, 41-9

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.

Week 15: The New York Giants demolish the Washington Redskins, 45-12

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.

Week 14: The New York Giants are unable to stop the soaring Philadelphia Eagles, PART 1

In PART 1 of this episode, Greg and Dan welcome best buddy THE FLUME to the program to help Dan recount their experience bearing witness (live) to the G-Men failing to take a winnable game from the Eagles. In so doing, the three childhood friends continually digress, hitting topics relating to WFAN, the new Giants/Jets Stadium, Lawrence Taylor’s commentary on the TIGER WOODS’ SCANDAL, the TIGER WOODS’ SCANDAL itself (a lot of time on the TIGER WOODS’ SCANDAL), “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Sunday Night Football versus Monday Night Football, and the VOLATILE DRUNKENNESS (and fighting) that Dan and the Flume saw at the game. WARNING: this episode does get pretty RAW, so the faint-of-heart BEWARE. Of course, stick around for PART 2 of this episode, coming out within the next day or so. PART 2 will be more akin to Greg and Dan’s traditional postgame analysis. So sit back, have a few laughs, and try to forget how much the Giants’ defense sucks!

Shed a tear for Dan and The Flume's final visit to Giants Stadium.

Week 13: The New York Giants put down the Dallas Cowboys, 31-24

In this episode, the G-Men finally come up with a clutch victory against the Dallas Cowboys and Greg and I were so excited that we couldn’t help but bring you a SPECIAL DOUBLE EPISODE. First, our main man and resident Cowboy expert REID bravely returns to the program to help recap the game. The three also chat about college football, marching bands, the pious yet bitch-like Tim Tebow, Drew Bledsoe, the Buck/Aikman duo, and Monday Night Football. Also, what the hell is Flozell Adams’ major malfunction?!?! Plus, Tiki gets booed (again), a Plaxico update, Mike Francesa’s “goody bowl,” and R.I.P. Hofstra Football Program. As always, Greg and Dan hand out FAN AWARDS and call their top teams, including Week 13′s “Beast of the East.” Oh, HOW SWEET IT IS!!!!

Week 12: The New York Giants blown out by the Denver Broncos, 26-6

In this week 12 post-game analysis, an extremely frustrated Greg and Dan are on the verge of giving up on the Giants. To help cope with the dire straits in which the G-Men find themselves (and the fact that Bill Sheridan should be shown the door), Greg and Dan distract one another with talk about Thanksgiving, Tiger Woods, and Mike Francesa’s “goody bowl” on “Mike’d Up.” They even discuss STEROIDS (ooooh) and how it very well might be the NFL’s shameful skeleton in the closet. As always, Greg and Dan pick their top 5 NFL teams after week 12, the hottest team in the NFC and AFC respectively, the scariest team in the NFC and AFC respectively, and week 12’s “Beast of the East.” And who was awarded The NYGMen Podcast’s Week 12 T—-n C—-m “Breaking” play of the game? All of this and more, as Greg and Dan try to turn your frown UPSIDE DOWN!!!

The G-Men were buried by the Broncos, plain and simple.
