Borrowing from the ever witty bw in dc (that's not sarcasm, he's a smart dude), what must it be like in the football offices? Not Judge and company, the Maras, Gettleman, Abrams, it can't be pleasant to waltz in there at this point can it? Does Gettleman sneak by Mara's office? Does Mara just binge watch old Giants games and throw darts at the next GM board? What in the hell are they doing in there?
Everyone knows Gettleman is gone, why wait?
I'd think Mara himself is involved in a ton with whatever the NFL has going on. Stuff we wouldn't begin to think about.
I'd hope Gettleman is being professional and getting ready to turn over whatever it is he turns over to the next guy who takes the reigns.
I'm sure it's pretty professional.
Is it right? No. Is it classy? I guess.
It isn't hard to sit up in the ivory tower when the PSL's are all sold and people keep buying season tickets like sheep.
Until it is felt in the pocketbook, Mara can pretend he is mad and feels for the common fan....but we all know. we all know.
Gettleman shirt’s not tucked in and he’s waxing on about 1992 in Buffalo, Abrams has spent the last 3 hours working backwards on the formula he deleted in the Google Sheet, John’s trying to scrub out the carpet stain with Resolve he made when he beat up the trash can, and Chris is making sure his Derby 3-year-olds are definitely not on the same juice that whacked Bafart’s horse.

a head start on the search, that's hilarious. the candidates who interviewed for the GM position in '17 were gettleman, abrams, ross, and louis riddick.
crack job by ernie and mara there. LMAO

Lmao. This made me laugh. How much fucking paper do they waste?

When Mara fired Reese & McAdoo mid season he said he didn’t see the point in waiting. Mentioned wanting to get a head start on the search.

Absolutely incredible work there.
I can't imagine the mental toll this took on DG and then have to perform GM duties.
Not a single computer is being used.

Sure they are. See...
John is thinking, just find a way to get to 7-10 and then I can sell Abrams!
Oh and Judge is rewatching Eddie Murphy Raw to find a new way to incorporate the word FUCK into a sentence when he meets with the players next..

this is spot on,and it's kinda scary.
I think the plan all along has been a bridge to Abrams. So, if the Giants sweep the remaining division games and beat Chicago say, Abrams is the next GM imo. I think this is the reason DG hasn’t been fired yet.
Mara is still holding out hope they can finish strong. Luckily that seems impossible. 4-13 here we come!
No one is as angry as he is about it.

I actually believe he is as angry as all of us. I also believe he's a somewhat smart dude. Let's see if he does what needs to be done. This is basically his biggest moment as owner.
Gettleman in particular sounds like he's a complete fool. His actions as GM belie someone who is completely unaware and uninterested in what the best practices are in his industry. I imagine that working with him is really unpleasant - he deserves to be embarrassed on the way out the door. I hope he has to stand up in front of the media one more time, but he won't.
As for John Mara, I think his brain works the same way as many of those you see on BBI. His analysis of the situation is always informed by his own experiences. He looks into the past to answer questions on the present; he does not look out over the horizon at the rest of the league to see what is and is not working.
These are not smart people.
idk if it was just hyperbole but Ralph V said the W against Philly pretty much saved everyones jobs. hopefully if they don't win another game that changes

Then he shouldn't have been the GM to start. Or at least he should have resigned to fight the cancer.
Mara’s never had a gig where failure would cost his livelihood.
He needs to hire a man or woman to run the business — maybe separate SVP of Ops from the GM role.
Has he made up his mind that Abrams will get the job already? Possibly. If so, he is already thinking about how to present it.
"Kevin is an internal hire, but he is a guy who will put his own stamp on this team. He can build on what DG started and put us on the path to winning."
John is thinking, just find a way to get to 7-10 and then I can sell Abrams!
JFC - that really hits it out of the park.
Mara is absolutely dying to give the GM job to the most qualified "Giants Way" candidate.
