PSL Bullshit posted on 06/29/2008

Below is the text of a letter sent to Giants season ticket holders on June 26:

Dear Giants Season Ticket Holder:

As the Giants prepare to defend the Super Bowl championship, and with construction of a new state-of-the-art stadium and team practice facility well underway at the Meadowlands, these are exciting times for Giants fans.

The new stadium and practice facility are scheduled to open for the 2010 season and will offer Giants players, coaches and, most importantly, Giants fans the first-class facilities, services and amenities they deserve. 

The stadium has been designed to provide fans with an unparalleled experience on Giants game days including: modernized food service, concessions, and restaurants; expanded team stores; tailgate zones, with improved tailgating facilities; upgraded and additional restrooms; Club seats with outstanding amenities; wider concourses; cutting-edge scoreboards that have in-stadium technology; and much more.  The experience of getting to the stadium will be better too, with improved highway access, redesigned parking lots, and a new rail line serving New Jersey and New York.  These improved amenities, together with the new state-of-the-art playing and training facilities, will position the Giants to attract championship-caliber players year after year.

2005 NFL Draft=Awfulness posted on 06/15/2008

I was glad in 05 when the Giants traded their pick for Eli, I didn't know Whale's Vagina would draft that steroid user, but otherwise, pretty bad draft at least in the first round.  We got Webster, Tuck and Jacobs, good work Accorsi.  Look at what the Boston Globe say:

Etc.

It wasn't a very good year
When the Bears released running back Cedric Benson last week, it highlighted how poorly the top draft selections from 2005 have fared in the NFL. Benson was the fourth selection in the draft, and he's now out of a job. Any of the league's other 31 clubs could have claimed him on waivers, and not one took the bait. Yet Benson isn't alone among top-10 picks looking to reemerge. Cornerback Pacman Jones (No. 6) and receivers Troy Williamson (No. 7) and Mike Williams (No. 10) are already with their second teams. Meanwhile, quarterback Alex Smith (No. 1) is in a battle to hold down the starting job in San Francisco, while Antrel Rolle (No. 8) is being moved to safety in Arizona after failing to excel at cornerback. It's difficult to criticize running backs Ronnie Brown (No. 2) and Cadillac Williams (No. 5) - as well as cornerback Carlos Rogers (No. 9) - who are attempting to come back from serious knee injuries that knocked them out in 2007. But at this point, other than Browns receiver Braylon Edwards (No. 3), this looks like the shakiest top 10 in recent memory. In a do-over, Cowboys outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware (No. 11) would probably be the No. 1 pick.

Shockey and Reese get into shouting match posted on 06/13/2008

According to espn.com:

The Giants' turbulent off-season got another jolt this week when disgruntled tight end Jeremy Shockey and general manager Jerry Reese got into a shouting match at the team's minicamp, the Bergan (N.J.) Record reported.

Although the genesis of the diagreement is unknown, Shockey said last week he was unhappy the Giants made him sit in co-owner Steve Tisch's luxury box instead of letting him stay on the field during Super Bowl XLII. He also said Giants spread rumors he wanted a trade.

Giants coach Tom Coughlin said Shockey's mental state hasn't gotten much better during the three-day minicamp, which finished Friday at Giants Stadium .

"There is an issue, but it is not something that would prevent him from working," Coughlin told the Record.

More Shockey posted on 06/13/2008

Jeremy Shockey, not cleared to practice because of last season's ankle injury, remained indoors, despite Coach Tom Coughlin's wishes that he watch practice as other injured players did. Shockey has long been frustrated by his role with the team -- too much blocking, not enough pass catching, in his mind -- and asked to be traded this off-season.
