Francesa at Giants Camp Today at 1pm

wid Eli. Eli, before we taulk about da new offense, let's discuss if da Mets should trade Bartolo Colon.

First order of business is to talk sarcastically about much tougher camp was back in the day, and how impossible it is to work on the running game with limited hitting and practice time.

At least this year there's a new OC to discuss,though Mike still insists it's Coughlin's offense.

.

Mara is at 1:20. TC at 2.

of Mets and Yankees to open...

Mike's already going on about how tough camp was back in the day.

but Reese basically just admitted Gilbride was pushed out the door. He said it was time for us to make some changes in regards to Gilbride, he said that after saying that Gilbride is one of the smartest coaches he's ever been around

Acadoo.

Mook, good catch. It was pretty clear that he was pushed out. If the story held that Gilbride had decided to retire during the season and spend more time with his family (which is the corporate go-to message when someone in management is shown the door), it made no sense for a few days after the season, Coughlin was non-committal on his coordinators/coaches and it took nearly a week for Gilbride to say he was gone. If Gilbride had made up his mind, the Monday after the season they would have announced his retirement. I don't know for sure, but odds are that Coughlin pushed to keep him, but once his hand was forced, Gilbride took the high road and retired rather than get the same fate that Pope got.

Won 2 rings as our offensive coordinator, 1 day even an idiot will realize the guy must have been pretty good to get his offense to play on the level it did against All time great teams, 1 team 18-0, the other team 17-1, not to even mention the 2007 packers who lost 2 regular season games, or the 2007 Cowboys who lost about 3 games. Headed the offense twice against in Super Bowl wins against possibly the greatest defensive mind in the history of the game. But why ruin an idiots rant.

that Gilbride made the decision on his own to retire, and we then moved forward accordingly and wound up with McAdoo. Seems disingenuous.

obsessing on Coughlin's age, again..Same thing every year

Francesser comparing his career to a 2x Super Bowl champ coach.

I wonder is Mara walks away thinking "What an asshole."

on the condition that his son be retained on the staff.

(I have to admit, it doesn't always seem obvious to me why his son survived the coaching staff turnover as the tight ends coach.)

Probably. It looked like Mara smirked alittle when Mike said that. Fat slob.

gave up, the OL was tissue-paper thin, signed a TE who couldn't separate from anyone and had atrocious drafts, etc., is still around and talks about Gilbride getting pushed out.

For the 2013 season, the phrase should be: "In Reese we bust".

He is the best in the world at what he does.

but I'm good friends with members of the Gilbride family (met him at a wedding and he's gotten us tickets to a few games). My buddy told us early in the season (Sept-Oct?) that he was retiring at seasons end. He may have retired before this season, but working with his son kept him around for a few more seasons, but after being passed up for several HC positions since the '07 run, he had retirement on his mind.

Just a guess, but I'm sure Reese was speaking in generalities, that it was time to change things up.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

means that the Giants might have wanted to keep him, and I'd like to think my team is smarter than that.

"out for awhile". WTF does that timeline mean?

Yup. Gilbride Jr. being on this staff makes 0.0% sense.

running on the treadmill today.

Pretty rude to be interviewing the coach with sunglasses on. You should be able to look the person in the eyes that your talking to.

Met fan trade proposals will he take and talk about today ?

Risking banishment.

Isn't McBride the fourth corner?

Until that dissipates he won't be back..

God forbid..

Da Pope said, "Let's be honest" about ten times.

on the importance of having "someone that scares people" at tight end, particularly in the WCO.

going into the season with Larry Donnell at TE and a hobbled 1st round pick at WR is not really a recipe for immediate success. hope i'm wrong.

when talking about Weston Richburg. He could play right away

Dottino's opening day line

Schwartz-Walton-Richburg-Pugh from LG to RT with LT a huge question. Dottino says Beatty is still physically unprepared to play Week 1

Richburg will start Opening Day at right guard.

the possibility that Beatty continues to struggle and Charles Brown is your LT...could get ugly.

Hey TTH

if there's no apparent solution because a hole at LT with a right-handed QB is deadly

Dottino says that Walton is having a tremendous camp and shows no sign of the ankle injury that sidelined him for a year. Biggest hole right now on offense is TE followed by LT with Beatty still recovering

What do we hear more of?

a) "No question..." -- Francesar

b) "I get that!" -- Jones

With either hand ??

I think Pugh is the future at LT.

Beatty has been taking the majority of snaps with the first-team O-Line, with Brown spelling him from time to time, so I don't know what Dottino is talking about...but that wouldn't be the first time for that.

I think it was mutual. Gilbride was considering retirement and once Mara made it clear the offense was broken...

I have no idea who said what first but I'll bet at that time Gilbride had a talk with Coughlin and decided that he should retire rather than actually getting booted.

I have no clue as to why his son was retained but they must think he's doing his job well.

and people were wondering why they didn't move McKenzie instead.

I wouldn't be surprised. Pugh was a LT throughout his college career.

yeah, i was wondering the same thing.

maybe Beatty looks a little stiff to him or something, but Dottino seemed pretty down on him.

if you guys listened to a word Coughlin said, you'd know that Pugh is not moving from RT.

tell the planet how great "Aaron Rodgizz" is.

are talking about the Jets...at Giants camp. Lets hear it for worthless, second class teams. Woohoo!

I don't think the move will happen this year but eventually unless they draft one high...

If Beatty goes back to the 2012 Beatty, that would hold off the switch.

anytime he reminds us how great Aaron Rodgers and Peyton Manning are, and how great Luck will be. Can't get that type of insight anywhere except New Yawk's Numbah One.

Kim with that lisp is fingernails on a chalkboard.

It is blinding and unnatural looking.

Too arrogant to do any homework on Giants, talks over all his guests, and makes the same point over and over ad naseum. I want someone to tell
him to shut up.

When he is Live at Giants training camp smh What's next taking calls from Met fan and their trade ideas

"This is Mike Francesar. Thanks fuh listenin' t'duh FAN on yaw desktop..."

"This is Boomer Esiason. Thanks for listening to the FAN on your desktop..."

What's the deal with Esiason and the throat thing? The 3 times I've actually listen to B&C, you can hear Boomer in the background clearing his throat.

Boomer's throat. I can't find a damn thing about it. I type in, "What's wrong with B.E.'s throat?" and I get nothing.

Not that I listen to WFAN a lot but when I do, that throat thing has got to be the most unprofessional aspect of a fairly unprofessional station.

How about baked beans?

The Pope asks a question and then answers it himself,often talking right over Eli. We want to hear Eli, not, you, Francesser

This is a concept Mike Dupp will never figure out. And yet, his disciples still think he's the "best in the world" at what he does...

Only if they're the honey flavored baked beans.
