The Bill Belichick Episode: Gary Myers on the Giants' or Cowboys' possible next coach and NFL Draft

Best-selling author Gary Myers, longtime NFL columnist for the New York Daily News and Dallas Morning News, joins Ep. 105 of the Talkin' Ball with Pat Leonard podcast ‪@Bleav‬ for an in-depth look at Bill Belichick's potential 2025 decision between the Giants' and Dallas Cowboys' hypothetical head coaching vacancies. Myers and Leonard, the New York Daily News' NFL columnist and Giants beat writer, analyze Joe Schoen's 2024 draft, the Giants' passing on Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy, the Falcons' shocking selection of Michael Penix Jr. and the Giants' future quarterback options in 2025. But Myers' insight on Belichick, his strong-as-ever relationship with Bill Parcells, his affinity for the Giants, his wishes for his next job and Parcells' relationship with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones all provide unique insight into one of the NFL's top stories of 2024. Pick up Myers' book 'ONCE A GIANT: A Story of Victory, Tragedy, and Life After Football' today.
