@CarlBanksGIII @BobbySkinner_ @nickfalato @DanSchneierNFL - Long time Giants fan here (since days of Craig Morton). With Giants' run-stopping problems & need to rest Dex, why isn't pick at #3 Mason Graham? Is it because almost comparable DT will be available early in round 2?

@cine_files @srmorris @TheRochaSays - great (really great!) that you covered the Rankin Bass specials! Brought back so many memories from childhood. Keep up the great work and all the best in 2025 to both of you!

How do I know I'm almost 57? Because I use "nice" to describe things way too often--"it's a nice day," "that's a nice bowl of cherries," "that's a nice pair of socks," etc.

How do I know I'm almost 57? Because when I watch the Knicks, the guy whose spirit moves me the most is John Starks jumping out of his seat to root the kids on. That's some middle-aged dad action, and I'm here for that all day long. #LetsGoKnicks

@BenMank77 - just caught the podcast interview with Soderbergh. Great! Absolutely terrific! And loved the post interview mention of Strat-o-Matic, which I played over and over in middle school and junior high.

How do I know I’m almost 57? Because I read the @AARP Magazine with great interest, and I'm really eyeballing the flip-phone with big numbers that they advertise.

@nickfalato @DanSchneierNFL - in all the talk of Giants receivers, people don’t seem to mention Hodgins or Bryce Ford Wheaton. What’s the outlook for both or either?

@DanSchneierNFL @nickfalato - here's how much I love the Big Blue Banter podcast: I actually feel a sense of loss and disappointment on days when you guys don't post a new episode. Keep up the great work!
