Sunday Morning Jitters 2008-09-28 10:12:33 The last time I was this excited and nervous for a football game was January 5th 2002. On that day the 49ers played the Giants in the NFC Wildcard playoff game. The 49ers dug themselves a hole that seemed impossible to get out of, as they entered the fourth quarter down 16 points. However a [...] Read more:Morning

Jason Comack is a Dirty Liar. 2008-09-27 00:01:23 So, Jason
tried to screw me out of a point from last week’s picks. He gave me eight and I actually got nine. Why? Because now we’re tied, and he also agreed that if I beat him last week he would admit he knew nothing about football.
Just pointing it out.

Problem Solved (Almost…) 2008-09-26 21:53:32 According to Chris Mortensen, The Giants and Plaxico Burress are close to reaching an agreement that will include decreased financial penalites and a 1-game suspension.
I just want this thing to go away already. The Giants can’t allow this to become a divisive issue in the locker room and the longer that they let the issue [...] Read more:Almost

JacQuizzzzzzzzzz…… 2008-09-25 23:48:57 “I was hiding behind the linemen. I’m a small dude, they couldn’t see me.” - JacQuizz Rodgers on his success against USC tonight.

Sttttttttttevvee Perry! 2008-09-25 17:02:27 I just made a fantasy trade.
Now normally those words make every other owner in my fantasy league groan. I have a reputation for being the Ozzie Newsome of our fantasy and usually find myself trading with the Matt Millens of our fantasy leauge. So when I announced my trade I expected the usual groans.

Writers Block Begone! 2008-09-25 14:30:52 I sat in front of my T.V and computer for a while today, sportscenter was on and a blank page was open on Wordpress.

The NFL’s Most Overlooked Injury… 2008-09-24 21:08:10 Getting away from the seeming bleek situation developing in Giants camp, let’s talk about a tragic injury that I predict will absolutely devastate an NFC contender.
Al Harris is a bit overrated, and I think we all saw that in last year’s NFC title game. However, the Packers rely on playing tough press coverage and Harris [...] Read more:Injury

The Whole Burress Situation… 2008-09-24 20:47:03 First of all, Jason needs to stop using the words “Your Thoughts?”" He’s starting to remind me of this guy I used to work with. It’s annoying.
Second, I don’t think that anything that Jason posted ever should have become public information.
What we have here is a case of the Burress family having problems that we [...] Read more:Whole

Introducing MLB Front Office Manager! 2008-10-15 22:55:38 Yea, We Broke the Story! Well…Not Really. I read it on PastaPadre.com However, It certainly sounds awesome.

Why The Roy Williams Trade Was A Flop 2008-10-15 16:54:02 I don’t feel like being long winded today, so here’s a list of reasons why Dallas will regret the Roy Williams
trade.
1) Sure T.O is happy…?
A) T.O is who we thought he is. He’s a diva at his core. I’m not saying that he doesn’t care about winning or losing, but winning better not come [...] Read more:Trade
More Breaking News: Roy Williams Traded To Cowboys 2008-10-14 15:05:09 NFL Network’s Adam Schefter reports that the Cowboys
have acquired Roy Williams
from the Lions.
Williams was aquired, along with a 7th round pick in 2009 for Dallas’s 1rst, 3rd and 6th round selections in 2009.
Yikes! For Dallas this reeks of a panic trade. They lose Romo, Newman, McBriar, Hurd, Pacman and Felix Jones and decide [...] Read more:Breaking

ReDOMption: Entourage’s best Episode in a Long Time 2008-10-14 13:00:47 I can’t believe it. There was character development in an episode of Entourage. I’m shocked, and pleasantly surprised.
Both Jason and I have long criticized the show for lacking any real direction. They seem to drop story lines and forget they ever existed very quickly. What ever happened to Rufus’ daughter and Turtle? What happened after [...] Read more:Episode

The Cowboys Demise… 2008-10-13 19:59:27 As I sit here watching the pre-game for the Giants-Browns game, I can’t help but think about the opportuinity that they Giants have over the next four weeks. They have the chance to move three games ahead of the most dangerous team in their division. At least.
They play San Francisco next week and as much [...] Read more:Cowboys

Brandon Marshall and the Unity Glove… 2008-11-07 16:10:19 I want to hang out with Brandon

Giants-Eagles Matchup of the Day: Aaron Ross v. DeSean Jackson 2008-11-06 14:00:26 This is the MOST important matchup of this entire game. Which is why I’ve been saving it.

is the Eagles best weapon in the passing game. If the Eagles are going to have success throwing the ball down the field, it’s going to be going to D-Jax II. He’s faster than anyone on the field, [...] Read more:Aaron

Should the Giants Pick Up DeAngelo Hall? 2008-11-06 13:57:16 A long time ago, The Giants
were going to send the 31st pick in the draft to Atlanta for troubled corner DeAngelo Hall.
Now, all these months, a stint with the Raiders and a 7-1 record later, It may still happens. If DeAngelo Hall clears waivers, which he likely will because no one wants to pay [...]

There are two very frustrating things about this fight:
1. Faber got knocked out because he fought a STUPID fight. He threw an [...] Read more:Today
Why Can’t Spags Stay Home? 2008-11-06 10:13:50 Jason has been licking his chops while watching the Giants every week. It’s just because he hopes they lose so that he can make fun of me. He’s watching the fast, attacking defense and thinking “How good would Steve Spagnuolo look in Red and Gold?”
Well, there are a lot of fans of losing teams who [...]
Giants-Eagles Matchup of the Day: Giants DT vs. Eagles Interior O-Line 2008-11-05 11:44:07 The Eagles have done a good job keeping Donovan McNabb off of his back the season as they have allowed only 13 sacks, which ranks 11th in the league.

Bill James Called Jeter “Worst Defensive Player in the League!” 2008-11-04 13:15:20 Before I say anything, here’s the summary from the Sporting News:
The 10 panelists who reviewed every ball hit in the majors this season ranked Jeter
22nd among shortstops. One called him “the least effective defensive player in the major leagues, at any position.” Ranking 22nd wouldn’t place Jeter as last, but James
