Buckle up. We bring you a brand-new episode of our New York Giants football podcast “Blue Rush” with Jimmy Failla. NY Post Giants beat writer Paul Schwartz joins Jimmy to open the show.

The guys talk about what happened during the bye week and Black Friday shopping (a new television for watching this team?), and they preview the Giants’ matchup with the Bears in Chicago on Sunday. Will Mitchell Trubisky start at QB for the Bears? Will Sterling Shepard be back for Big Blue?

NY Post fantasy football writer Samantha Previte then drops by for “Sam’s Fantasy.” She breaks down whom you should start and whom you should sit in your fantasy football lineups for half of the NFL Week 12 slate.

Super Bowl champion Phil McConkey, the former Giants receiver and kick/punt returner, then joins the podcast. McConkey talks about those 1980s Giants teams in detail, telling an amazing story about Bill Parcells making him catch punts with an eyepatch on. McConkey touches on his Lawrence Taylor memories, how the game was much different back then, Kool & The Gang and Tecmo Bowl. He also talks about longtime NY Post columnist Steve Serby being a warrior and standing the test of time. McConkey is an incredible story teller.

The show wraps up with “Brown’s Best Bets” as the bald-headed producer and gambler gives his best bets against the spread in Week 12, as well as what parlay you should get on.
