Kruk & Kuip — Inside Giant Moments I did an Inside Giant Moments podcast with the man I emulated growing up in Will Clark. Just a couple of weeks ago, our episode posted with Bruce Bochy, the man who was at the controls of the entire Giants dynasty. I felt a real responsibility when we were recording those. You get one shot to talk to people like them. ‘Don’t mess this up’ is what I kept telling myself. But by comparison, my creative nerves were at their highest when I sat down to talk with Mike Krukow & Duane Kuiper.…

Florida Gators: Florida Loses One Of Their Star Players For The Season With A Torn ACL Florida’s 2024 season didn’t start well when Miami came into their home and beat them 41-17. The game seemed to be over from the start, and Miami quarterback Cam Ward put on a show, making the Gator’s defense look like one of the worst in the sport. The Gator’s offense was not much better, and quarterback Graham Mertz left the game with a concussion that will keep him out of this week’s game against Samford. The offense already lost Mertz for some time, and they…

San Francisco Giants announcer has hot-mic slip: ‘I gotta pee’ Sometimes, you just have to go. San Francisco Giants and NBC play-by-play announcer Duane Kuiper let the world know of his plans for the middle of the eighth inning during a hot-mic moment Wednesday. “We’ll continue this conversation when we get back, D-Backs are coming up,” Kuiper said. After a short pause, Kuiper said, “I gotta pee.” In fairness to Kuiper, his remark is on the laughable end of hot-mic moments. There was nothing incendiary about his remarks, like the time Suzyn Waldman ripped the Yankees for being “boring.” Kuiper likely…

Novak Djokovic provides retirement update after losing Wimbledon final Novak Djokovic has provided an update on his retirement from tennis after he lost the Wimbledon final to Carlos Alcaraz for the second straight year.

It blocked Djokovic from a 25th Grand Slam singles trophy which would’ve moved him clear of Margaret Court’s 24 for the most in the entire history of the sport. The Serbian, who faced booing from the crowds at this year’s Championships, has endured a…

Brian Daboll Breaks Silence on Saquon Barkley Departure Brian Daboll had a message for former New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley If it were up to New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll, he’d keep as many of his players until they could no longer play the game.

Still, that doesn’t make it easier for head coaches like Daboll, who spend much time building relationships with players. So when the Giants…
