    Please cap how long you keep one dude on the line . Jason from New Haven literally goes on for 15 mins . same with coach Marvin. It’s not fair to people who can’t get through and want to chime in . These people think they are pseudo co hosts ? And Jason asks himself questions and answers his own questions it’s annoying .

    Love this show 5 star review!!! Make sure when you tune in, that you skip forward when coach Marvin from Delaware calls. It’s the most useless long winded comments that no one cares about.

    Best Giants content around!
    Love this show, I listen daily. Helps me through the boredom or work and working out. By far the best show around, no other show comes close. Very knowledgeable, each and every host knows their stuff. Super entertaining, even during down portions of the football season. Highly recommend!!

  • tommisfit
    Enjoy the Show
    Listening for years now. My main source of news for Big Blue. John is great, Paul needs to calm down, and Lance always comes up a little short. Get it… short, because he’s short.

    Love it!
    I love these guys! Absolutely great podcast!
  • Caz-714
    Good show
    Great show, hosts have insight and perspective. Very entertaining group except Meadow , he is a pompous arrogant jackass. Rude for no reason.

    Best Giants Podcast
    Madelyn is a disaster Passion everyone on the show brings is tremendous. Dotino’s knowledge is top notch. Schmelk brings great energy and insight. And normally I can’t stand the retired players. Just don’t do their homework. Exactly the opposite with Feagles. Show is a must listen for the passionate Giants fan. Oh, and I anxiously await Charlie from Portland checking in daily. Need to hear more Lawrence from Vero Beach.
  • Yuki4Prez
    Frustrating
    The hosts constantly interrupt and yell at callers for no reason. It gets hard to listen to. Sports debates can be heated, but let them at least finish their statement first.

    Love BBKL
    Great show ! Howard is great addition
  • KreizGiants
    Amazing!
    I listen everyday but this podcast is perfect for any die hard or casual fan. It's great during the season and off season! Enjoy!!
  • snapchett
    Dottino
    What dottino did to Len on a call was pretty nasty. How does he not just talk to the questions. This is from the 7-26 episode
  • Wwwwwowoooooowowowwowhhhioo
    Like Oxygen
    From daily news to in-depth draft coverage to fun banter…this show is as essential to a Giants fan as oxygen is to living.
  • Nappy1156
    Great show!
    Loaded with solid and accurate information about the New York Football Giants!
  • Batman3647
    Great podcast
    This podcast does an amazing job covering the team; I love Paul and Lance too.
  • HighStrangeness
    Good content, infected with ads.
    I used to enjoy the show but I can’t stand how many ads they play and read. It’s become unlistenable for me personally.
  • dnizidn$
    Please just take written questions - please end call ins.
    Can not stand the same callers who pretend to be experts calling in with multiple questions- which are rarely “questions” but comments that nobody wants to hear. Love the hosts, who are experienced professionals, some are former Giants, who shouldn’t have to grind it out with the lame commentary from guys who just don’t know what they are talking about.
  • Alex from Syracuse
    5/1/23 Lance says his catchphrase!
    Legendary hosts John Schmeelk , Russ Salzberg and Paul “spaghetti and meatballs” Dottino, known for their hair, as well as their in depth analysis and expansive knowledge of all things New York Giants, are joined by former players Howard Cross and Jonathan Casillas who offer their insight and the player perspective. With draft coverage, to negotiations and camp, BBK brings all the Giants info you could want all year, and brings Giants fans from all over in on the conversation. But without a doubt the best part is a character on the show called Lance Meadow, who is obviously one kid on another kids shoulders, and his hit catchphrase “don’t get caught up in the size of a guy”. Classic BBK
  • Mike_Roldan
    Love it
    Can we just say that PFF now stands for Paul’s Favorite Facts?
  • Bill Maines
    Must Listen for Any Giants Fan!
    This is such a great show! If your a Giants fan, you’ll love this show. Lance, Paul, John, everyone does a great job. I’ve been listening for years. They helped me get through all the off seasons and Covid years. Great show guys! Keep up the good work!
  • Rios0152
    The human cheat code
    I have learned so much from listening to this podcast. It’s definitely a must for any Giants fan! Paul is literally a human cheat code, the way he can recall moments from Giants history. Not just the big moments either but the small details that no human should be able to recall that easily and detailed. Hence “the human cheat code”. You guys have made off season something I don’t dread anymore, so keep it up!
  • celticfool
    Great informative Program
    I love the show and IMO a must for all Giant fans. A mix of personalities, former Giant Players giving their insight and experiences. I download the episodes and listen while traveling/commuting.
  • KEVINNNNNNNNNN
    Best podcast for Giants fans!
    This is the most comprehensive podcast that helps inform Giants fans of the daily ins and outs of their favorite team. With the combination of Giants reporters and former Giant players, you get diverse perspectives and feel connected to the team.. even during the long offseason. It’s quite impressive that the group is able to field calls from fans while they simultaneously make room in the office for Lance Medows booster seat. Great talent all around and a great listen for fans!
  • vsndjdnfkcjend
    Life long giants fan since 2000
    Absolutely love the show! Amazing 360° coverage of the New York football giants! Love the addition of Casillas, kind of hope you guys continue to employe former players like Cruz is, maybe it would be nice to have jacobs as well etc. not a huge fan of Howard cross especially on the episode he downplayed Bobby O’s toughness by saying him bust through his pinky wasn’t impressive etc, gives off boomer , “Back in my day” vibes and had a strong take on things that aren’t that serious. Would prefer a newer wr or te player that understands todays game. Love all the moves the Gmen have made! Go big blue!
  • JRH347
    Great Podcast
    I love this podcast. I listen to them everyday on my drive to and from work. Very informative, good conversation. If there was one thing to critique that wasn’t worth a 4 star, I would like to see them read more stuff from #GiantsChat. I think there is a lot of valuable questions that often get missed for repeat callers. (For John, I tried to keep this review short like Lance lol)
  • Nickgebhart
    Great pod for Giants Fans
    A must listen for Giants fans. I listen to the pod every day, especially when JC is on, even if he’s with Lance (jk, Lance. Schmeelk made me do it)
  • F23A4
    Always look forward to their episodes
    Great perspectives, super insightful, great way to stay updated on all things Giants
  • Dro1644940
    Best Giants podcast!
    Love these guys! Amazing insight. Schmeelk is the GOAT!
  • citizen NE PA
    Every weekday listen
    Love the show; however I can do without old man Salzberg. Nothing personal Russ but I do not listen on Weds anymore if u host. Let’s go GMEN
  • Giantsfan09
    Let people talk
    Russ doesn’t belong on the show. He has no patience for fans and doesn’t let fan’s finish their comments! We are not all going to agree on everything. Heck, I wish you would all stop taking calls from Charlie. I mean he literally asked a guy a question interrupted him twice then b/c he didn’t like hi answer pushed him off the line. Ross does not belong on this show. He does this every time and I and surprised he is even back on the show! I can’t listen to him anymore. He’s disrespectful and wants to be the brains that everyone agrees with!
  • sims2bavarotd
    Get rid of Russ
    The knee bone the hip bone.. Russ brings nothing to this show. He hangs up on callers way to soon. This is a caller show.
  • DLewisEliot
    Used to be a way better show
    One of the best Giants pods but understandably Paul and Schmeelk are kinda homers. But, and this is a Big but, they need to not have Russ on. This is a 0 star show when he’s on. Like I’ve literally heard this idiot make fun of a handicapped person who called in and doesn’t anymore I’m sure because of this absolute clown Russ. Gotta get him off. Show used to be much better too. Lance is probably the most logical and least annoying host now.
  • New York City IndyCar Fan
    The commercials are annoying
    I am long time listener and the new commercials are very annoying in the middle of listening to a conversation!
  • jtnyg970
    Ok show. Needs to switch one host out
    Lance John and jeff are great. Paul is very rude and thinks he knows it all because he had worked for the giants for 40 years. Don’t disagree with him ever or he will be so disrespectful. And there are a few annoying regular callers that are annoying specially Scott from New Mexico, Len from Columbia md and Charlie from Maine
  • navadom
    Eh
    At first, not so bad, but then you realize, they have the most negative outlook in every aspect of the game. Everything is a hypothetical and sometimes you get a good stat but oh wait, “we’re only speaking in hypotheticals guys”.
  • Alex (from Belgrade, Serbia)
    My favorite Giants podcast
    LM, PD, JS (in no particular order) are awesome hosts and very charismatic people to listen to whatever the topic is. Jeff F. adds another positive dimension to the whole program. Keep up the great work Gentlmen! Go Gianst!

  • NONEEE
    There are better NYG Podcasts
    Big Blue Banter, Big Blue View and Breaking Big Blue are all superior to BB Kickoff. They have better guests and more detailed analysis. The BB Kickoff hosts seem to actively dislike taking calls. They snap at callers and talk down to them regularly. I don’t see how Paul stays employed. Always sounds like Paul is eating his lunch while doing the show
  • Boonerjamz
    Lance dunking on Paul 5 stars!
    The word of the anonymous SCOUTS SCCCAAAAAOOOOOOUTTTS! I only came here to give the 5 stars to that debate what a comeback. Why is Russell Wilson getting thrown under the bus for no reason after making Seattle a relevant franchise.
  • GiantsFan#23
    Get rid of dottino
    John does such a great job with all he does, Lance and Jeff are both great as well. I wish I could listen to this show every day. The only reason I can’t is because I can’t stand Paul. Any time he is on the show I immediately shut it off. I love this show and I love the giants and it pains me that I just can’t take it anymore. He’s far too stubborn and lives in the past. He can’t go a single show without arguing with someone about something stupid. And then even when he’s proven wrong he still never changes his mind. It’s infuriating.
  • Babybull0818
    Long time listener
    Guys, just because you are all employed by the Giants, you can’t continue to agree with everything they do, because how has that gone so far? Please be more open minded and criticize them when needed. Lance is a Cowboys fan for God sake‘s. I would really like to start hearing some more open mindedness.
  • Hawaii alika
    Real Talk Please
    Stop sugarcoating everything that is bad with the Giants. Such as players or personal please. Keep it real. Mahalo and Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🏽🤙🏽
  • Malcolm-Sex
    Giants Sycophants
    Ugh, this show routinely leaves elephants in the room unaddressed. They routinely defend the Giants, no matter how bad they are, or how badly they mess something up. You’re much better off listening to another NYG podcast not sponsored by the Giants organization. Just routinely disappointing…
  • B MOUNT
    Wanna debate? The excuse cast!
    If you like arguing and bickering, this is your show. They know everything and your comments will be shot down as uninformed. They argue with each other almost every show. If Lance is on the show prepare for everyone else to be wrong. I doubt he’s ever played the game but what do I know? Jeff is the real deal. HOF punter fingers crossed! Charlie is my favorite caller! The excuse cast! Always an excuse for how they play. Rename this “The excuse cast”
  • michaelman4
    Paul Dottino is a moron.
    Paul Dottino is an INSUFFERABLE host. He will do anything, twist any argument, to avoid blaming ownership, leadership, or coaching. This makes him the definition of a shill. Talkin’ Giants is a WAY better podcast, with honest, authentic discussion. Paul Dottino makes this show an absolute joke. Lance Meadow isn’t much better.
  • 11ManE93
    Retire Dottino
    Paul Dottino is the only guy I know who will b*tch and moan about games having too many scores. Jesus Christ he’s a dinosaur, and is such a homer!!! Sick of hearing the same “old man yelling and shaking his fist at the clouds” type of vomit that comes out of his mouth. The calls are the only reason why I listen but even then, save for John Schmelk, these guys love to cut off fans mid sentence basically to tell them how dumb or wrong they are for being sick of seeing the team lose for so long. Without John or the callers, it’s a no star for me.
