Neal also tears into Big Blue’s systemic dysfunction, bizarre WWE cameos by Cam Skattebo and Abdul Carter (who was benched because he slept through a walk-through, and why Jalin Hyatt and Deonte Banks are proof GM Joe Schoen must go.
Plus: a preview of the Week 12 matchup against the Lions in Detroit, reacting to Jay Glazer’s shortlist of Giants head coach candidates, and potential salary cap cuts in 2026.
