All right, folks.

We are live.

Welcome to the Giant Insider podcast. Brought to you by Fan dual sportsbook on the Believe Network. My name is Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the Giant Insider newspaper. And with me, as always, is the beat writer in the heart of Giants Nation. Nobody beats the biz. Chris Visignano. Hi, Chris, the, was it the 6 and 8 Vikings visit the 2 and 12 Giants this week. it met life for a, you know, a game where, the, was it the six and eight Vikings visit the two and 12 giants this week and

MetLife for a game where, look, the Vikings last week were eliminated before the game

started, but they still played their butts off and beat the Dallas Cowboys.

But before we get to the game, Chris, there's been some in the media, mostly national national that have come up with these ridiculous

trade scenarios one of which i heard today was you think the giants would trade the first

overall pick and jackson dart to the bengals for joe burrow another one was from our my

favorite guy colin coward uh. The Giants should trade Jackson Dart and draft Mendoza first overall. Oh, is that why I saw something at X-Day? Yes. Somebody tweeted something about, is this guy nuts? Somebody said, can you guys do a buffoon of the week again? I said, well, that's what it was.

I didn't even know what the hell he were talking about.

Okay.

So that was the other one. That's a good one. I like that. And it's just, it's starting to pick up steam and from a national standpoint, not from a, oh my God, this could happen. But it's just, it's so comical, man. And this is why people hate the media.

It's true.

Like you see these scenarios come up.

There's enough to talk about with the NFL with the playoffs coming up and then

you hear all this these trade scenarios that will never happen but then like imagine being jackson

dart and hearing that like you just got to laugh it off like you're a kid who's kind of done all he can

with this organization he's clearly the future Giant fans are psyched about him and you have to listen to that. Now, I know it's nonsense and you should just poo it. But when more than one, you know, national media guy says it, right? And the one about Joe Burrow was from from Carlin, Chris Carlin. And he brought that up today and I just look at it I'm like you got it you got to be kidding me you have this is exactly great oh no you know what I'm not going to highlight that team Zavala so you're on the Chris Carlin Bayloric. What's up, man?

Listen, guys, I just imagine being 14 games into your career and these scenario, where most giant fans and probably the organization as well feels we got our guy.

And you have to listen to this crap.

Like, this is so stupid. And I know you shouldn't let it affect you, but when you just see national guys saying it, exactly, Leslie, they're trying to make something out of nothing. I just want to see what's going to come up next over the next week or two, right? Especially if the Giants go one and two or oh and three, rest of the way like imagine being dart doing all you

can and then getting these ridiculous scenarios coming up dude it's just it's comical man i just
