I’m still at a loss to describe my feelings after watching one of the most unbelievable finishes in sports history. Simply put, the Giants made history in Super Bowl XLII, and we are all fortunate enough to have witnessed it.
There’s no need here to rehash the entire game, but I will say this–never again should […]

Well, this is it. No more talking, no more prognosticating, no more pontificating, no more nothing. Super Bowl Sunday is at hand.
I’m not going to go into any detailed analysis here–we’ve all seen, read, and heard enough about how these two teams match up in the last two weeks, and nothing I would say here […]

Dead calm

The Saturday before the Super Bowl is usually very quiet, except for the odd arrest or misadventure of a key player the night before the big game. (Remember Stanley Wilson of the Bengals?)
Anyway, the teams are having their final practices today, which should be nothing more than a walk-through and some final film sessions. Obviously, […]

The last couple of days have been kind of annoying when it comes to the Super Bowl media hype. Guys having multiple microphones shoved in their faces being asked ridiculous questions, and their answers are being turned into pseudo-declarations of war. It’s all very silly, if you ask me.
Anyway, here’s something we should take a […]

Not exactly Montana-Simms-Craig-Lott-LT etc. the Giants handled their business, winning with another big day from the big D. OSI has been amazing. The resurgence of the defense has been just unbelievable. Brandon Jacobs is running hard, and it’s not all about Eli Manning which is great! The Giants play in a cold weather place, if […]

Opening night was a disaster with Eli Manning, Brandon Jacobs, and Osi Umenyiora all getting hurt. The defense was pathetic. the offense put up points, but it was too little too late. Then came the loss to Green Bay, where the defense was even worse. At 0-2, the Giants were headed towards 2-14 and the […]

Osi Umenyiora, king of sacks

A few weeks ago I titled a post “Worst Defense in the League.” Sunday night, they were the opposite. Sack happy, setting records, embarrassing the Eagles offensive line. As they should. As they should.
Osi Umenyiora was, dare I say GODlike racking up SIX sacks. The team had 12 in an easy 16-3 win over an […]

Worst defense in the league

There were big numbers in the NFL early games. Carson Palmer threw for 401 yards and 6 TDs in a loss. Marc Bulger, Derek Anderson, Jake Delhomme all had huge days passing. They must have carved up some bad defenses. Imagine if they faced the Giants.

Things the NY Giants can improve on: DEFENSE, health

Well, the first game was pretty bad. Sure the Giants mounted a comeback, but that was only the quick strike offense and one adjustment on defense that was hours too late. The defense was pathetically embarrassing and Tony Romo had his way finding any receiver any time. Great comeback attempt by the offense, with the […]
