Show Notes
Chris Lempesis is back for another Tuesday Night Mailbag, baby, and this one is stuffed like the Giants secondary on a deep ball. Before diving into your questions, comments, concerns, rants, and assorted emotional outbursts, Lemps kicks things off with a story from way back in 2010 — a Packers/Giants game he somehow ended up attending, despite having to work early the next morning and possessing the common sense of an unsupervised toddler. The vibes were dead, the stakes were high, and that win ended up launching the greatest postseason run of our lifetimes. And yes, he and Gene recorded a podcast in the car on the way home. And yes, it is lost forever because of course it is.
From there, Lemps rips open the bag and gets into everything he couldn’t fit into Sunday night’s show:
• How the hell the Packers can generate pass rush when Micah Parsons isn’t doing his “destroy everything” routine
• The unsung hero from Sunday whose name nobody expected to hear
• Why Lucas Havrisik might be fine, might be doomed, or might be a victim of wind, gravity, and Dan Marino references
• The butterfingered disgrace that was the first half
• Malik Willis Appreciation Society, emergency meeting
• And whether Matt LaFleur’s seat is actually hot or just “Packers fans on a Monday” hot
It’s emotional, it’s ridiculous, it’s cathartic, and it’s somehow still hopeful because this team refuses to make anything easy. So grab a beer, adjust the backwards cap, and settle in.
This is Emptying The Bag ’25: Giants Edition, and—God help us all—the bag was very, very full.
