Sorry, folks. We are live. Welcome to the Giant Insider podcast, brought to you by Fan Dual Sportsbook on the Believe Network. My name's Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the Giant Insider newspaper. And with me, as always, is the beatwriter in the heart of Giants Nation. Nobody gets the biz. Chris Bisignano. And by the looks of it, there's seven, maybe eight people having conversations already before we get here.

Guys, I love it.

We will set this up in the morning for you.

You guys can talk all day if you want questions back and forth.

We're only going to go from here forward.

So if you have questions that you've asked 20 minutes ago, probably not going to scroll back.

But love it.

Leslie, Triple Pump, Pat, Ginger, Joe F Ferry is all you guys in here. Good stuff. Love it. Um, yeah, log on like eight in the morning, Jerry. Just let him talk all day to me. Come on. I'll post it at eight and you guys just have at it. Nice. We're here for the people. So before we get into the final, the end, baby, the end of this 2025 season

that has been mostly down, some things up, but mostly down.

Let's talk first.

The Hall of Fame named their finalists.

And there's 15. And one of them is Eli Manning Chris huge honor for him again yeah yeah yeah he made the top 15 again

whether or not he gets in I we'll see I have a feeling he's not i don't think he's

going to make it i think he i think he i think breeze and what's the other guy uh fits

fitz let's showings in my opinion i think they're going to make it for sure a couple other guys

but i don't think he like gets in but he did make the top he did make the the final 15 again. And I think next year is going to be his year, Jerry. I think next year, not a Philip Rivers has kicked back his clock. Isn't that amazing? I thought the same thing. Yep. Five years. I think next year will be Eli, this is a quarterback. Is Ben? Wait a minute. Hold on. Wait a minute. Ben retired a couple years later. Ben, Ben retired a couple years later, right? So yeah, I think he might be up in 26.

I think, I think, I think, this is a quarterback I'm forgetting about. Brady's out five years.

No. So I think Eli will get in next year. I don't expect to see him this year. I think it'll be Breeze. You know, there's two quarterbacks. Not that, you know, that's pretty tough for two quarterbacks in, but I see Breeze going in ahead of him this year. You know, it's funny. There's some names on here. I'll just touch on him real quick, Chris. Frank Gore, Darren Woodson, Reggie Wayne, Tori Holt, wide receiver has to be the toughest to get in.

Wide receiver and running back are tough because you would think Tori Holt and especially Reggie

Wayne, like you figure their shoe ins to get in, but they're not in yet.

And Darren Woodson, look, I don't, I'm not a huge Cowboys fan, obviously, but Darren

Woodson was a hell of a safety.
