Its that time of year again. Training camp and the Gmen are finally not being promoted by the media as the next Super Bowl team. The Giants do better under the radar, and they can't deal with the pressure.
Anyway, I'll get this thing started by asking what the fuck is Strahan up to? Now that he is being charged for everyday he is missing camp, I'm really curious what's going to happen with the guy. We all know he needs the money and probably won't retire, but he's got too much ego to come back with his tail between his legs. That said I hope he gets into camp ASAP because we need him.
Bring on the chatter gentlemen. 7/31/2007 9:59:36 AM |

I agree that Eli sucks, but disagree that no Tiki means no playoffs. Its definitely going to be tough, but the biggest issue with the Giants right now is definitely Eli and him sucking. 7/31/2007 11:07:27 AM |

Jacobs is a stud. The dude is 6-5, 260 lbs and runs a 4.4. He's going to be a lot more than a North/South runner this year. Can't wait to watch him. 7/31/2007 11:18:19 AM |

"I'm completely committed to being the Giants' #1 receiver this season"

needlesmcgir All American 2427 Posts user info edit post |
^ yeah, you definitely can't be committed to being the Giants #1 receiver if you are wearing a throwback jersey from a different team. Much less a Gale Sayers jersey. You can only appreciate Gale Sayers jersey if you are in fact playing for the Chicago Bears.

I never said they'll make the playoffs. I mean, they've got some pretty big problems and some huge holes to fill. But its the NFC man. Its not dumb to think that ANY team in the NFC can go to the playoffs.
Except maybe the Vikings. Or the Lions. 7/31/2007 4:43:39 PM |

Simeon Rice would be a good pickup if Strahan does retire. I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic about our season.
I read a rumor on yahoo that Jerome Bettis thinks Cowher will replace Coughlin in 08 if we have a disappointing year. That would be interesting. 7/31/2007 6:05:41 PM |

I got tired of waiting around for this thread so I made it happen. Rice is in for a physical today, so we'll see what happens.
Apparently Strahan told Shefter or something that he will never play in a Giants uniform again. Said he sees no direction. This guy is really starting to act like a total douche bag, I can't believe it. What the fuck happened to sportsmanship? I guess he's trying to go to a good team so he can try and get a ring or something. Fuck him though. I love the guy guy, but I sure as hell don't want that kind of attitude in the locker room.
I can't believe how all the players are acting on this team. No one shutting up, everyone just going rampant in the media and all that. All sounds like trouble to me. 8/1/2007 11:13:28 AM |

so for the lack of a better update and wanting to bump, I've been hearing that Steve Smith is looking damn awesome at camp. Need a good wideout, damnit! 8/7/2007 4:56:03 PM |
needlesmcgir All American 2427 Posts user info edit post |
Where's the chatter on this site? You guys watch the preseason game? What'd you think?
Our defense has a lot of work to do. Kiwi has a lot of work to do. We need Strahan BAD. Tackling was trash.
Offense looked ok. Eli threw a terrible pass (much like every game he's played in) but threw a pretty pass to Shockey for that touchdown. it was nice.
J-Load looked pretty damn solid. 20 yard scamper from him was HILARIOUS, and a great play. Sick fade to Anthony Mix for the TD.
Running backs looked pretty good. Oline needs to get better.
Game on in HD Sunday night with Michaels and Madden. Lets hear something in here gentlemen! 8/15/2007 10:31:54 AM |

pretty good preseason game last night, other than the injuries. Bummed out that Jennings is out for the year. He was really looking good, especially last night. I love that guy. His future is definitely unknown now.
Eli Manning looked fantastic last night, which is just about the only time I can say that about him. He really impressed me, especially with that TD pass to Steve Smith. 8/20/2007 1:35:52 PM |

Now this is some funny shit here:
http://deadspin.com/sports/nfl-season-preview/nfl-season-preview-new-york-giants-290987.php
Quote : | "All week long the Eagles talk smack about ending the Giants' unbeaten streak. But the night before the game Donovan McNabb begins serial, uncontrollable projectile vomiting and is too weak to play. Shockey! snares his 14th TD pass of the year and would have a 15th, but he stops one yard short of the goal line to slug Brian Dawkins in the ball sack. Eli Manning is asked to host Saturday Night Live. He tells them to fuck off, he's got some football to play." |

Holy shit, how about Manning actually looking like he has some balls when asked about the Tiki Barber half time interview:
http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/giants/2007/08/eli_responds_to_tiki.html
Quote : | "“I guess I’m just happy for Tiki that he’s making a smooth transition into the TV world,” Manning said. “You know, I’ll be interested to see if he has anything to say (about a team) besides the Giants, and what his comments will be on that.
“It’s just one of those deals. I’m not going to lose any sleep about what Tiki has to say. I guess I could have questioned his leadership skills last year with calling out the coach and having articles about him retiring in the middle of the season, and (how) he’s lost the heart (to play). As a quarterback you’re reading that your running back has lost the heart to play the game and it’s about the 10th week. I can see that a little bit at times. But I’m not going to get concerned. I’m going to go out there and play ball.”" |
I mean, I have been one of Eli's biggest critics as a Giants fan, but I think this is just fantastic.8/21/2007 2:20:11 PM |

yeah as far as the intangibles go..it COULD be that losing Tiki actually helps, and only a select few have a problem with Coughlin. It could also be that the whole team has given up on Coughlin.
It shouldn't matter though since they are asking Diehl to play LT and watch Eli's blindside
