Week 16 PREVIEW: The New York Giants host the Carolina 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Panthers’ historical inability to string two consecutive seasons as a legitimate contender, and Carolina’s strikingly out-of-date nineties era uniforms.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?

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 15 PREVIEW: The New York Giants take on the Washington Redskins

In this Week 15 PREVIEW, Greg and Dan welcome Redskins’ fanatic (and budding business-genius) JAKE THE SNAKE to help them size up what await the G-Men in D.C. In so doing, the three touch on the Redskins’ historical misuse of Clinton Portis, whether the hype surrounding big off-season signings Albert Haynesworth and DeAngelo Hall proved worthwhile, and the upcoming free agency of Jason Campbell. More to the point, JAKE understanably harps on Dan Snyder, why he is a bad guy and a total douchebag, and how much he sucks for his franchise. ALSO, Greg and Dan find a little time at the end to talk about they’re excitement for the eventual debut of rookie RAMSES BARDEN.

Will an improving Jason Campbell be able to put a fork in the struggling Giants' playoff aspirations?

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!!!!

The G-Men get up after a HUGE win against the Cowboys.

Week 13 PREVIEW: The Dallas Cowboys come riding into town for a showdown against the New York Giants

In this week 13 PREVIEW, the Dallas Cowboys come riding into Giants Stadium. To commemorate the occasion, Greg and Dan welcome SPECIAL GUEST, and resident Cowboy expert, REID, as the trio mock Wade Phillips and Jerry Jones, remark on the Cowgirl cage dancers, and duke it out over Eli and Tony Romo. Also, Greg and Dan anxiously anticipate Tiki Barber’s reception at Giants Stadium this Sunday when he serves as honorary team captain, respond to listener comments and email, and briefly (very briefly) address the New York/Boston sports rivalry. And DON’T MISS Greg and Dan finally going to battle over the Yankees, the first ever flare-up of the co-hosts’ competing MLB allegiances in the history of “The NYGMen Podcast.” Yet again, it’s DO OR DIE for the G-Men, so be a good fan and do what the Giants must . . . SHOW UP!!!

Will the G-Men manage to wipe the evil smirk off of Jerry Jones' face?

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.
