New Twitter
June 18, 2009 Don't know what happened to
the original Twitter account. May have been deleted because I'm not much of
a Twitterbug, but, a new one is up and rolling. You can follow us at

Or use the widget on the side panel over there
--------->> How often will it be
used? Who the hell knows. As often as I remember it exists. LOL Some UDFA Signings
April 27, 2009
Needless to say, none of this is 100% confirmed until rookie camp starts,
which I THINK is May 8th, or thereabouts. Maurice
Evans - DE - Penn State
Vince Anderson - CB -Weber International University.
Otis Wiley - S - Michigan State
Alex Field - DE - Virginia (3 year contract?)
Kenny Ingram - S - Florida State
Sha’reff Rashad - S - Central Florida
Darius Hill - TE - Ball State UPDATE:
Round one grid is done,
here. Draft Day Tidbits A-Coming Soon...
As you guys should know by now, I attend the
draft every year (as an additional birthday weekend celebration) and usually
upload the picks in real-time from my phone and give my personal
observations in a separate note here... New phone doesn't seem to have the
proper ability to do so and the notes, well, they'll be up later, as well as
the regular draft grid. The draft fell
ON my birthday again this year and I have the hangover from hell. I can't
lie. Maybe those quicker rounds and getting out of there a little earlier
wasn't such a good thing this year... :-)
Dockery Signs Tender April
13, 2009
Kevin Dockery made his return to the Giants official by
signing his one-year, $1.545 million tender offer from the Giants.
The move, first reported
here, comes as no surprise since the 25-year-old restricted free
agent had drawn no known interest on the market. That was likely the
Giants’ intent when they signed him to the “second-round tender.” Not
only would any team signing him have to pay a high monetary price, but
they’d also have to cough up a second-round pick in this draft if the
Giants had declined to match.
Dockery, who made the team as an undrafted free
agent in 2005, had until this Friday to sign his tender. He’ll likely
battle second-year pro Terrell Thomas for the nickelback job in
training camp this summer.
Forums Are Down and I Don't Know Why
Seems damn near ALL of the Zetaboards are down. I can only
imagine that they are having server issues since even the support forums are
showing as non-existent. Hopefully, this won't last
long. *prays* UPDATE: It didn't.
Plax Released So Plaxico
Burress has been released by the Giants and The Blue One is not happy about
it. Thought I'd give it a day to "report" on it because, well, you know how
emotional I can get about stuff and I'm not in the mood for any emails from
the FO or players. LOL Yes, I am fully aware of the
fact that, regardless of how much, Plax will be doing some time in the
clink. Doesn't help that things, court-wise, have been delayed until June,
which will more than likely kill off a season of playing time, especially
when you add in the NFL's suspension. Doesn't mean I have to like it.
No matter which way you cut it, the Giants became a worse
football team upon his release. 2/27/09: FREE
AGENCY MADNESS! Keep track of the
top NFL free agents as we track them
HERE.
Feel free to alert me if I miss anyone or you
have info on the contract deals. Put the players name in the subject of your
email and send your tidbits to:

today that they promoted LB coach Bill Sheridan to DC. Glad to hear it...
and not just because I like being right. :)

the bastard took it. I expect Sheridan to be named new DC soon. I'm not
