GIANTS NEED COACH WHO CAN WIN MORE THAN THE INTERVIEW & KNICKS CAM DO BETTER IN SECOND HALF ...

- “The Horsewoman,” by James Patterson and Mike Lupica, is on sale now.

Maybe this time around we won’t hear about some candidate the Giants have for either general manager and coach and how he was so breathtaki­ngly brilliant in their interview that they made the owners nearly giddy with excitement.

Here’s a question:

How well do you think Bill Belichick interviewe­d, when he got his first head-coaching job with the Browns, or later when Bob Kraft interviewe­d him in Foxboro?

Anybody can interview well if they’ve done their homework and know what the people asking the questions want to hear.

You know who interviewe­d like a champion?

Mickey Callaway.

I like the Cam Reddish deal for the Knicks, just because it shows the people in charge still think the team really can be a lot better over the last 41 games than it was over the first 41.

Well, at least we are no longer hearing that Joe Judge didn’t lose the locker room when the Giants were on their way into the ditch.

Those quarterbac­k sneaks against the Washington Football Team really might have been the most embarrassi­ng moment for the Giants since Joe Pisarcik tried to hand the ball to Larry Csonka that time. But look on the bright side. At least the Giants quarterbac­k held on to the ball this time.

You can start marking time until the guy who runs Tennis Australia, Craig Tiley, walks the plank for his role in this fiasco with Novak Djokovic.

I still love Djokovic trying to blame the mistakes on his paperwork on his agent.

Got it.

Dog ate my visa. Understand that a lot of the politician­s involved in this mess in Australia hardly covered themselves in glory.

But they were on the right side of this.

Truly, if Djokovic had any grace, or any respect for a tournament he has won nine times, he would have withdrawn from the Australian Open last week and flown home to Serbia.

You know who I want to get to 21 majors first?

Rafa Nadal.

And maybe 22 after that. I’m sorry, but I still don’t think that Brandon Staley’s timeout changed the outcome of Raiders vs. Chargers last Sunday night.

David Carr said it did during his on-field interview when it was over, but by then Carr was saying just about everything.

And guess what?

None of that is what people are going to remember from the last game of the regular season.

What people are going to remember is Justin Herbert seemingly facing 4th-and-10 for the whole fourth quarter, and still getting his team to overtime.

It’s going to be fun, now that

ESPN has hired David Cone ,to go back to watching Sunday Night Baseball with the sound on.

You still get the sense sometimes, following the coverage of the Giants, that they’ve just had a run of bad luck since they won their last Super Bowl.

They’ve lost 100 games in 10 years since their last Super Bowl.

If you’re keeping score at home, that’s the same number of losses between 1971 and 1980.

In the middle of that is when the plane flew over Giants Stadium.
