Exciting to see Monday Night Football again! Pardon the Interruption is off this week, and its nice to still get my Tony Kornheiser fill. I’ll be watching the game with some friends and throwing mine and their observations up on the blog.
Is Eli growing a mustache: I really thought Eli turned a corner last year, and now I know it. Nothing says new man like a mustache.
My friend sitting next to me, an ardent Cowboys fan, suggested Eli was pulling a Giambi. I hope that’s the only thing Eli takes from Giambi…
The mustache has apparently put some pep into Eli’s step. And maybe a little into his arm too…Great touchdown.
- Giants 7-Browns 3
Update: Eli is in fact growing a beard
“Unsportsmanlike for swinging and missing, what do you get for swinging and hitting?” Tony Korheiser, again giving us the quote of the night. So far.
Eli again picking on the same guy. #24, Eric Wright. Mr. Wright might being worrying about his job after this game. Both throws were nice though, and Eli again looks good. Well at least his passes. “Eli’s arms look a little flabby,” my friend who follows the Jets says. “Maybe he should go on a diet. Maybe South Beach.” I hear he’s actually going Nutri-System.
- Giants 14- Browns 3
And that was almost a safety. This heralded Browns offense does not look good against our defense. Lovie Smith does not look happy.
It’s nice to see a team that did not play particularly well at home last year feeding off their home crowd so well. Seems that home crowd could be responsible for all these Browns penalties.
I saw that block coming.

Domenik Hixon is having the game of his life. With a spelling like that, he better be.
Great showing from the first team offense.
- Giants 23-Browns 3
Whew. That was close.
This is just insult to injury at this point. I am really encouraged by how good the defense is looking, but if I was a Cleveland fan, I’d be even more discouraged by how bad my offense looks.
