Welcome back.

It's the Big Blue Banter. New York Giants football podcast. i'm dan schneier joins so he's my co is nick volato it is the dead of the dead and the obviously not no not really i mean june july is probably june early july is probably the dead of dead but it is a nice low period right now for new york giants football and that's good news because i'm about to go on vacation and Nick is also taking a trip this weekend so we're going to be out of commission

for the next week so we figured let's do a mag let's do a mailbag before we go mag did you just come

up with a new a new name for the mailbag then it's me talking too fast and my brain not

processing things at a good level I said we roll with it I like the mag the mail bag just combine it all man make it efficient okay it's bad it's a bag and in this mag bag we are going to be talking about a lot of different things but i'm excited nick because i'm about to go on a little bit of vacation this next seven days i'm going'm going to be in warm weather. It's that time of year.

And if you know, I don't even know if I'm sure where you're going, I don't even know.

You don't have to share it, but yeah, I'll tell you. Weather. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's going to be warm, 85 and sunny every day. Golf and tennis coming to be golf. there's going to be tennis where's my brother my brother got that one set off me uh on our last

trip our brother's trip,

and I'm still thinking about that because, look, it actually wasn't on that trip. He got

me in the bubble a week after the trip. But I can't lose sets of my brother in tennis.

I can't at any point have him beat me and surpass where I am at in tennis, Nick, if I don't reciprocate that by surpassing him in golf. And golf is really hard for me to get good at. Tennis is a more athleticism-based sport. So he's making a bigger leap right now than I want to be making in golf. Now, I don't know if we want to go down these waters right here, but is Maddie a better athlete than you? I've already admitted this in the past, and it's not just going to just not talk about it now. Maddie is a better athlete than me. He's lucky to have gotten the better athletic genes out of the family. He's got more spring. He's got more raw speed. He's got more lateral agility. He's got pretty much at all from athleticism standpoint. He was the lucky one. And I used to deny it, Nick, but we play Thanksgiving football as a family every single year until recently because my uncle got hurt because he's just crazy. And he just got injured playing football is ridiculous and it's bleeding from his head. And then my hand was going crazy, crying. It was just like, this is it. We won't do this ever again. It's kind of playing street football to in touch but it's just like this is it we won't do this ever again it's kind of playing

street football too in touch but it's just like my dad's competitive as hell this my uncle's

competitive as hell like people are just 60s just running around it's ridiculous but my i

had to match up against my brother and that's where it came to a head like i had to admit it after
