Between The Hashmarks Podcast

The Giants fired Brian Daboll this week, after rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a concussion, and New York coughed up another fourth-quarter lead in a road loss to the Chicago Bears. Elsewhere, newly acquired Eagles cornerback Jaire Alexander announced he is stepping away from the sport to contemplate retirment, and the New England Patriots carded a signature victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, Mike Tanier of Mike Tanier's Too Deep Zone and co-host of The Between The Hashmarks Podcast was stuck traversing deep south back home on a Greyhound Bus trip from hell. Tanier tells his tale of the sights, sounds, and fights (?!) experienced on his journey, and Matt Lombardo catches him up on all the NFL news he might have missed, on this week’s Between The Hashmarks Podcast!

Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season delivered two of the more memorable prime time games in recent history, as Josh Allen led a furious Buffalo Bills comeback win over Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens, and J.J.
