It’s official: John Harbaugh is the new head coach of the New York Giants.
Harbaugh and the Giants reportedly agreed to a 5-year deal worth $20M per year, and the biggest headline isn’t the money — it’s the power structure.
We dig into Ian O’Connor’s detailed reporting from The Athletic on how this got done, including the behind-the-scenes maneuvering from the Mara family, why Harbaugh demanded clarity on who he reports to (spoiler: John Mara), and what it means for the Giants’ entire operation moving forward.
Then we spin around the NFL as the coaching carousel continues — Kevin Stefanski to Atlanta, and the Bills stunningly firing Sean McDermott after nine seasons and one of the best win totals in the league over that span.
We also break down Divisional Round Weekend and repick our Conference Champions + Super Bowl winner based on who’s left.
On the baseball side, the Mets miss out on Kyle Tucker, but pivot to signing Bo Bichette. So… is this a win, a panic move, or both? We hit the pros/cons, what it means for run prevention, and why a MLB lockout feels inevitable at this point.
Plus: Chris Drury’s letter to Rangers fans (why do teams keep doing this?) and a Mt. Rushmore of Super Bowl foods to close it out.
