Summary

What starts as a lighthearted detour into concert plans and feeling old quickly turns serious once Joe Schoen’s latest comments hit the table. The guys debate whether Schoen basically admitted the Giants’ best players are underpaid and if that kind of honesty helps roster building or risks irritating the locker room. From there, the conversation pivots back to John Harbaugh and why his decision may come down to far more than roster strength, including lifestyle, geography, and even old family ties to Cleveland. The segment heats up with conflicting reports from Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter on whether Harbaugh truly lost the Ravens locker room, and Tiki explains why both sides can actually be true. The hour closes with mounting fan anxiety that retaining Joe Schoen could cost the Giants their dream coach and shape the narrative around this hire no matter how it ends.
