ESPN Reporting Fewell To
Take DC Job Former Buffalo Bills interim
coach Perry Fewell is planning to accept the New York Giants defensive
coordinator position on Thursday, according to a league source.
As of late Thursday morning, Fewell hadn't notified Giants
of his decision, but the Giants have been informed they can expect to land
their man.
Fewell's agreement would be significant on a number of
levels. It would give the Giants the man they had been seeking to succeed
former defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan. It would also take Fewell away
from the Chicago Bears, who at one point were the clear-cut favorite to land
him.
It would also remove another candidate from the Bills, who
interviewed Fewell for their vacant coaching position.
The Giants fired Sheridan shortly after the regular season
ended with back-to-back blowout losses, in which the defense was torched for
41 points by Carolina and 44 points by Minnesota.
And Then The Giants GET
Pummeled 41-9 Wow...
that was absolutely disgusting. I can't remember the last time I saw my
Giants get utterly and completely raped on the field. They should be
embarrassed. Truly and immensely ashamed of themselves. This is how they
decide to close the stadium? MY stadium? Playing like that, none of them
deserve to play... anywhere. Did ANYONE show
up, mentally or emotionally, for the game?
WOOT! Giants Pummel The
'Skins 45-12 Now that's what I like to
see. Keep hope alive, people. It wouldn't be the first time we "snuck into"
the playoffs and everyone was asking "Hey! Who let them in here?"
And anyone proclaiming that it's only the Redskins can
suck it. Hate the 'Skins, but, they've been playing their asses off the last
few weeks. Now, if they can find that fire again next week and Denver can
get their heads out of their asses and shake off this week's loss, I would
be very happy. Make it happen.
Chris Henry Dies
As most of you have probably heard by now, Bengals WR
Chris Henry passed away this morning at 6:36am from the injuries suffered
yesterday after falling off the back of a pickup truck.
I'd like to extend my sympathies to his family.
So young. So tragic. RIP Chris. Manning Dealing with Even
More Foot Issues Now
we're hearing that Eli Manning has developed a stress reaction in his right
foot that could be even more of a pain in the ass, umm, foot than the
plantar fasciitis, according to "sources" in the Giants camp.
Apparently, a
recent MRI on his foot showed the stress reaction in the cuboid bone. They
are going to be "treating it aggressively" (whatever the hell that means) by
having him stay off it as much as possible, wearing extra supportive shoes
and using a bone stimulator (  - Sorry. I
am well aware of how immature I am.) and although it shouldn't keep him off
the field right now, there is a chance it can turn into a stress fracture
that would, in effect, take him out for the rest of the season.
Yep, somehow, somewhere, some way, we have obviously
pissed off the Football Gods and they are continuing to mete out punishment
upon us. And We Lost, We Lost
Boys, this is not how you keep me from parachuting in
and kicking someone's ass. Five games. That's
all we have left. Can we at least TRY to look like a professional football
team and, who knows, maybe even win another game? I
can give you half a pass for the short week and long trip, but, c'mon! 26-6?
Against the Broncos? Woo Hoo! We Won! We Won!
FINALLY! Giants beat the Falcons 34-31 in OT in a nail-biter
at Giants Stadium. Giants Lose To Chargers in
The Last F'n 30 Seconds Just when I
thought our woes were over, I have to witness the last 30 seconds of today's
game, which resulted in another loss, of 21-20, to the Chargers.
I am, my friends, goddamn heartbroken over this one. At
least when you lose, after playing like shit the entire game, you (as a fan)
can come away from the game with a nice, healthy dose of raging anger. But,
here we were playing relatively damn good football all afternoon to have it
stuffed down our throats in the last 30 seconds.
Who do you blame? The defense for allowing them to
roll on down the field like they own the joint on that last Chargers drive?
The offense for not getting that last, what, 4 friggin' yards to capitalize
greatly off of Terrell Thomas' beautiful interception and having to settle
for another field goal (which, in itself, has been a scary scenario this
season)? Coughlin and Gilbride for not being just a little more aggressive?
The whole damn team for squandering 104 yards in penalties? Or how about
Tynes and Feagles for whatever the hell that confusing mess was in
the first quarter? Or do you just say, oh
well, it was a damn good game and even though we loss, it's nice to see us
looking like an actual professional football team again?
That's probably the most rational option... but, lets
face it, I've never claimed to be rational, at times like this, and I'm
stewing. Maybe ask me again on Wednesday or
something...
