One more to go before they start to count

Having the unfortunate circumstance of living in Philadelphia, I did not get to see the Giants-Jets game on Saturday night. Not a single snap. That is the second biggest downfall of living in Philly (the other, obviously, being all the Eagles fans around) because following games on the computer is pure torture, despite the fact that you don’t have to [...]

Another one bites the dust…Ross goes down

As the G-Men broke training camp, cornerback Aaron Ross re-injured his left hamstring. After missing the lionshare of camp, Ross returned to practice Monday and boasted about how good the hammy felt, he then pulled it trying to cover (the real) Steve Smith and had to be carted off the field. If there’s one thing I hate, it’s liars.
The [...]

You can’t win ‘em all…

Wow. That was one of the most depressing games I’ve ever seen. Against the Bears Saturday, the Giants looked flat and lifeless. It’s a shame because at the very beginning they looked decent. Their first defensive series they made some good plays and bended but didn’t break, the team looked fired up, Jacobs had a few nice runs, they [...]

November 1: Favre in Lambeau

I know I’m not in the majority here, but I’m glad Brett Favre is coming back to the NFL for a 19th season. Let me explain. At first I was pissed because he was inciting another media slurp-fest, but then I remembered he’s going to have to play the Packers twice this year. Once, of course, [...]

Giants undefeated in ‘09!

I was very pleased with Monday’s 24-17 win over the Panthers for many reasons. First, the running game looked phenomenal.  Jacobs was on his game, Bradshaw was nice and Danny Ware made a name for himself. Ware’s 36-yard catch-and-run TD at the end of the first half was a thing of beauty. He looked like Tiki [...]

Training camp fracas

With just over a week to go before the first preseason game, apparently there were fisticuffs thrown at Giants training camp on Sunday. According to Giants.com, Bryan Kehl and  Madison Hedgecock got into it during an 11-on-11 drill and had to be restrained. Supposedly there were other instances of emotions getting the best of [...]

Eli: Mo’ money, Mo’ problems

Two Giants that have something to prove this season:
1. Antonio Pierce – He dodged a bullet (literally and figuratively) with the whole Plax thing, and now his career has new life. He’d better make the most of it, because if the fans start booing at Giants Stadium he’s going to wish he’d been sent up [...]

Free Plaxico!

Call me crazy, but I feel bad for Plaxico Burress. He didn’t hurt anyone, besides himself, and he got a raw deal. There are so many worse things he could have done: killed someone (see: Ray Lewis), raped a woman (see: Big Ben), taken a dump in his girlfriend’s hamper (see: Najeh Davenport), or some [...]
