Welcome to a frigidly freezing Friday, a football Friday, in a week that featured a crop ton of baseball.

0:29.7

Welcome to Evan and Tiki. We are together for the next four and a half hours to take you through your Friday afternoon.

0:35.9

We'll get to some baseball a little bit later on.

Yesterday, we heard Mike Kofka drop F-bombs. I think it was Sean who suggested he made the F-bomb sound the geekiest he's ever heard.

We will put to the test a little bit later on. We'll get you set for the football weekend.

And we have a new name to attach to the New York Giants in their coaching search, which we will get to in the next half hour. But I've got bad news for you, Tiki. What?

So you don't know.

2:10.6

But to me, I need to see a team establish an identity from an individual standpoint.
