Hey, Giant Fans. Welcome to this emergency slash impromptu podcast. My name is Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the Giant Inside of newspaper. And with me, as always, is the beat writer, the Heart of Giants Nation. And now of WFAN fame. Two weeks in a row. So two things just happened, right? One, it became official that Joe Judge is the, what is it,

the 19th head coach in New York Giants history. And the other thing that came official is, Chris,

move on. You are, you are not only famous, but you could be like the link from the public

to the New York football giants, pal.

Well, I don't know about that, buddy, but I could tell you this, that we try to keep it real.

And it was some crap flying around the last 48 hours.

It just isn't true.

Chris, I was going to say yesterday morning on Twitter was the worst I've ever seen Twitter.

It was a cesspool of garbage.

It was people, I think, quite frankly, embarrassing themselves on some of the things they said.

And I'm not talking about fans.

Fans can react to where they want.

I am a buffoon like that.

When I see things in my head, I have a thousand things that go through it. And then I'm smart enough now or at least contained enough to wait it out and then kind of make a comment on it or at least publicly say something. I'm not talking about fans here. I'm talking about people who are paid to cover the Giants and cover the NFL

who said such garbage for about a 45-minute period. They should be embarrassed to themselves.

Yeah. Yeah. Listen, everybody got it wrong about, not wrong. I'm sorry. Everybody was like,

you can't blame people for not knowing judge coming in everywhere. And that's true. But the other stuff about who doesn't want to work with Gettleman and the Giants panicked. Okay, so you want to start talking about it? You know, we can lay it out what really happened. Go ahead. Okay. So what happened, folks, is that Matt Wool was their number one. All right? The Giants were very interested in Rule. Now, now, it wasn't a,

we have to have Matt Rule or nothing scenario.

They were high on rule, but they were always keeping the door open.

And that's why they interviewed like seven guys.

Right. And Jerry, that's also why they didn't fly down to Mexico to go to Cabo, St. Lucas, to meet him.

Because that's been done before stuff like that, right?
