Welcome back. It's the big blue banter New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier. No, not Voldemort, not the guy in the witness protection system, not the Zapruder film guy. I've got a new mic. I've got the same mic. I've got the mic set up, a new computer that connects to the mic. Things are on the up and up. Lighting is not good yet in this room. There's no electricity. I'm doing the best I can here. But things and the background has been, you know, in its mess. Eli Manning Bumblehead. But things are on the up and up, Nick. I have the mic. That's the most important part. I saw so many comments yesterday about how the sound sucked because my mic wasn't on

and Nick's was.

Well, that is over now.

Also, shout out to everybody in the comments.

I had a great time reading the comments from yesterday's episode.

A lot of freaking funny stuff.

I was cracking up reading things about how it looked when the sun was going down.

There's no nonlit room and I was just and had my little like Voldemort thing going on.

I should have wore like a sweatshirt with a hoodie on that day, Nick.

But I'm happy to be here.

I'm excited because look, I'm not having visions of grandeur, like delusions of grandeur right now.

I don't think the Giants are like a Super Bowl contender.

But I really like what Joe Shane did, specifically on day two of free agency,

with two specific signings, with Holland and with Goldstein.

And I really think that overall, the Giants have played this free agency smart from a contract

standpoint and from who

you're targeting.

What age are they?

And really, Nick, I look at it like this.

The Giants have gone through multiple of these draft classes, Nick.

And what's happened?

They've come up just short on guys like Lasseter that they won in the draft.
