| 0:00.0 | Mike on a car phone has made his return. |
| 0:02.0 | Mike Francesa, the legendary Mike Francesa, who I grew up listening to my entire life. |
| 0:07.2 | Mike, what do you think we want to talk about this morning? |
| 0:10.1 | Well, you know, when you get one of these, usually it takes a whole show and about half the next day's show to sort it out because the fans will come up with every possibility. |
| 0:23.8 | And what they do that's erroneous is they look at things after the fact. |
| 0:29.4 | You can't. |
| 0:30.0 | You have to take this in real time because when these happen, like the Patch in the Super Bowl or the Giants against San Francisco many years ago, every play is connected. |

| 1:11.5 | This game, the Giants actually lost the lead |
| 1:14.6 | and came back and took the lead again. |
| 1:16.8 | I mean, that makes this one even more bizarre |
| 1:19.5 | because you get that lead change at the end of the game. |
| 1:23.0 | And to me, that lead change and that performance by Dought down the field. |
| 1:29.6 | I know he got a lot of penalties, but that fourth and 19 throw under the rest after what had happened early in that drive shows me so much about that player. |
| 1:41.0 | It is worth the entire game because of what he did right there. |
| 1:46.7 | And Mike, it's Izzy from a landline. |
