Last week, we had Rick Hoffman, the terrific actor from Suits and Madden, join me and dissect that game.

And then this week, it's just me.

But next week, we could have guests and we could have something else coming.

First time they've been in first place alone since November 2015.

First time they've started 3-0 at home since 2008, and I am joined by the one and only Rick Hoffman, the legend himself, awesome actor, diehard Giants fan, and he plays Howard Cosell in the new flick Madden, debuting on Thanksgiving on Prime Video.

Rick, gotta come to you right off the bat.

What are you thinking as a Giants fan watching Tay Banks run that pick six into the end zone at the end of this game?

We are here talking ball post-game live with Pat Leonard.

I'm the New York Daily News NFL columnist and Giants beat writer.

I'm sitting here live in MetLife Stadium after the Giants' dramatic 36-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals, three and one, first place in the NFC East, and I am joined by the one and only Rick Hoffman of Suits, of Madden, which comes out on Thanksgiving.

Plays Howard Cosell.

We'll talk about that in a little bit.

But first, I want to jump back into the Super Chats because, Rick, we have more fan questions.

Yep.

I'm one big fucking callous.

John Harbaugh, Rick Hoffman.

Yes.

Absolutely.

So then we probably have to talk about Rick Hoffman next.

He's playing Gary Leslie.

He grew up in Roslyn Heights and went to high school at the Wheatley School in Old Westbury on Long Island.

There's that trope with Law & Order and with SVU where...

So there's certain kinds of people that you know are much more famous post this episode coming out, like Laverne Cox, obviously.

But a lot of times you see somebody like Rick Hoffman, you go, that's a recognizable character actor.

He must be the perp.

Even though,

Suits is a weird thing to me because I'm good friends with Rick Hoffman.

Yeah.

Get lit up, right? In the first season of Suits, I had a development deal with USA Network.

That's how Hoffman and I met.

And they said, look, we have a deal with you to do a show.

Would you do us a favor and have this guy named Rick Hoffman come on your radio show to promote this brand new show we have called Suits? I'm like, yeah, no problem.

That's how Rick and I met.
