Hey, what do you say, ladies and gentlemen? Dan and I are excited to introduce our Buy Me a Coffee page.

We've had a lot of listeners reach out and say, hey there, Bub, we really appreciate what you do and want to support the show.

Well, here's one way to do that without big corporations taking, I don't know, 30% of the cut of your generosity.

Just head over to www.bimea coffee.com slash big blue banter and chip in

if you'd like to support us directly. Every contribution means a lot and it helps keep the show

going strong. We appreciate each and every one of you. Thanks for listening and have a lovely day.

Welcome back. It's the big blue banter New York Giants football

podcast. I'm Dan Schneier. Join as always my co-ist Nick Milato. And today's a fun show with one New York

team in a championship tonight, starting tonight. And hopefully this team, the New York Giants,

eventually back there themselves, want to do a little fun show today. We're talking breakouts, 2026 breakouts. These are the players that will most change the narrative in 2026.

I'm really excited to get into this. The players Nick and I both believe independently will have the

best year versus expectation for the Giants to set the parameters for this show. What we're doing here is ranking them

five to one individually. Nick has his five. I have my five. And that ranking will be five

to one in the order of one being the most likely to break out versus what people expect of him,

what the expectation is, what the narrative is, who's the most likely to make the biggest jump first

that narrative. All five are players we think are going to break the narrative per se in

26 and beat what is expected of them. But the one ranked player versus the five is a player

we think has the best chance to do it or in a different way, not the best chance to do it,

but the chance to do it at the biggest level to break it in the biggest way. So I'm very excited to do that. For I did that, I did want to say one thing before we start the show. I was talking with Nick last night individually and thinking a little bit about this, this time of year. I did want to take a little bit of time right quick to just thank all of you

for listening. I just, man, Nick, I just think it's so cool. We were talking about, we're like, yeah, it's going to be a free flowing show and have fun. We're going to riff. I was like, that's what the show is. And I just feel so lucky to be able to do that with you, dude, because one, outside of this, you know we've grown to become close friends too.

You're just someone I love talking football with,

especially the Giants football.
