And let me tell you, this is the best way to stay groomed for the winter.

The winter months are coming. Winter is here, as Ned Stark once said, or maybe didn't get a chance

to say, spoilers, spoilers. Don't care. If you haven't watched Game of Thrones. That's a big spoiler.

That's on you. There's a 10 year mark. We cut off spoilers being spoilers anymore. And we've reached that 10 year mark on Game

of Thrones. But in today's episode, we're going to talk about this function that's growing

in the Giants locker room, whether or not players didn't give the effort that was necessary in

week 12 to be a functional football team. And we're going to get into quotes from elite neighbors,

Germain Oluenor, Dexter Lawrence, plus what Brian Davo had to say about all of those quotes and the state of his team and the state of the locker room. As we head into this short week against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving, and I did get a chance to watch a little bit of Cowboys because for Beyond the Boxer watched some Jane Daniels. That defense is playing much better now. They're really starting to come into their own. Michael Parsons return has been big. This could be a nightmare for the Giants who opened this week with DNPs, do not practices from Germain Illumina and Evan Neal, both of their tackles with Michael Parsons gearing up with Tommy DeVito, who from my vantage point from watching the All-22, Nick, we'll get into more of this on the All-22, Nick, is not a capable starting quarterback in the NFL, should not be starting for any teams. Yes, he threw some touchdown passes last year, had some good play at the beginning, but it's just not somebody. For him to to be for that to look like that with two weeks

to prepare for that game Nick it was surprising to me and not not surprising because I

didn't really have faith in DeVito but it was eye opening to me they need to turn to Locke at

some point and it really needs to be soon and if Locke is that bad that he somehow worse than

the veto then Nick maybe they need to turn to the free agent market because, and we'll get into more of this later. But it just like they can't put this product out every week for six more weeks. That's the thing. This is week 16 or 17. It's fine. They got six more weeks to go, dude. I don't know what's going to happen, but let's get into that now.

And let's start with the comments. Do you want to start with neighbors, Illuminaur, or what Dexter

Lauren said? Let's start with the most controversial. And that is Malik neighbors. So I'm going to

run the audio clip of Malik neighbors, not so tacitly throwing Brian Daibu under the bus.

Go out there for a second quarter.

Don't get the ball.

Start getting targets at the end.

I mean, I can't do nothing.
