New York Football Giants 2010

After signing Antrel Rolle, making him the highest-paid safety in the league, the Giants have signed QB Jim Sorgi. Sorgi, of course, goes from backing up Peyton Manning in Indianapolis to backing up Eli Manning in New York.

The Giants have been the only team with the name "New York Giants" for more than fifty years now. (Never mind that they play in New Jersey...) I'm surprised that they're still called the "football Giants".

I'm surprised that they're still called the "football Giants". I think "football Giants" sounds weird. so they prepend the NY to it. Just saying Giants can be confusing I guess. I'm surprised Steve Somers doesn't call them the Jersey Giants though.

Lawrence Taylor, busted for rape.

Busted for third-degree rape-- or "sex with a minor"-- to be specific. Publicly-known details here, with a press conference scheduled for later this afternoon.

Some buzz around the blogosphere that Francesa made something of an ass of himself, referring to "Jersey law enforcement sources" who allegedly gave him some vague "insider" details. Apparently, they left out the fact that the bust didn't occur in Jersey.

The thing about Benigno is that his lack of command of the English language combined with his constantly speaking before he thinks makes for some ridiculous comments.

Giants v Vikings - originally sked for today at 1 and then moved to Monday in Minnesota - has now been re-re-scheduled for Monday night [u:15ssx4he]in Detroit[/u:15ssx4he]. The Metrodome roof in Minneapolis is too damaged for a game right now and an outdoor site in the area (like U of Minn) was rejected on account of the Giants now packing clothes for a cold-weather game. It's always funny to watch the NFL scramble when weather problems scuttle a game because their set-up allows no real flexibility for postponing a game.

Seeing as how the roof was sagging prior to getting that hole punched through you figure they would have halted play before it ever got to that point ... although yaneverknow. btw, tickets in Detroit for tonight are FREE on a first-come, first serve basis - although preferred seating will be given to anyone who manages to schlep from Minnesota to Michigan with a Metrodome ticket. If you ask me, seats to regular season Lions game at Ford Field should be the ones that are free ... but that's a whole 'nother argument.

soupcan Dec 13 2010 07:49 AM Re: New York Football Giants 2010

This happens to the Carrier Dome roof in Syracuse every so often. The Metrodome and Carrier Dome have the same type of roof. The weight of the snow necessitates the deflation of the roof to help with the removal. It's usually a fairly quick process to remove the snow and reinflate. That's probably why they didn't suspend the game in Minnesota right away. I do not recall any of the roof panels tearing as a result of the snow/deflation but the article below tells me they did. On a related note: NY Dome Manager Offers Roof Panel for Metrodome The folks who maintain Syracuse's Carrier Dome are offering to help out their counterparts dealing with the collapse of the inflatable roof on the Metrodome in Minneapolis. Carrier Dome managing director Pete Sala says he has spoken on the phone with the Metrodome's management and offered Syracuse's extra roof panel, bought 10 years ago when the Carrier Dome's roof was redone. Sala says the panel is ready to be shipped if Metrodome officials want it. Sala says he also offered his expertise in inflating and deflating a dome, something he has done several times during his years operating the Syracuse stadium. The Carrier Dome roof sustained a weather-related tear in the 1990s. The Metrodome's roof collapsed during severe weather early Sunday morning.

Edgy DC Dec 13 2010 07:51 AM Re: New York Football Giants 2010

Yeah, that's why I say third quarter. The game is tight, everybody is well-oiled, focusing on the field, not quite noticing the roof sagging. A couple of techies see what's going on, get on the walkie talkies to ask what to do, but it's too late. Some ADD kid points up at the roof, his mother screams, and it's panictime. It's the Who in Cincinnati all over again.

Saw something on a crawl last night about "sources saying" that Bill Cowher is ready to get back into coaching next year and specifically is most interested in THE NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS ... and also listed two other teams which I can't remember now. I'm sure it'll come out where he denies saying any such thing (which only means that he didn't utter those exact words) but it's probably true and seeing as how Coughlin's days are likely numbered (although didn't they win their last SB from a 5th or 6th seed spot? - so it's not over yet) it's a likely fit as I'm sure the inter-twined and inter-married Rooney/Mara clan will give good recommendations all around.

Going from one to the other is hardly a no-brainer.

Sometimes perception is everything. * plus, this info wasn't presented as mere speculation, it was an actual ESPN insiders are reporting!!!!!!!!!! report.

Score one for the Met Fairy (I think): Mr. Jackson dropped the punt, recovered it, slithered through the scrum in front of him and skipped 65 yards into the end zone. He detoured briefly to run alongside the goal line, partly to make sure the clock was expired but mostly to taunt a team that thought it had wrested away the NFC East lead. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142 ... 55710.html Q: Why did you stroll along the goal line at the end of the game? A: I try to always do something out of the ordinary. I probably would’ve dove in from the 12-yard line if I could. I don’t know, I knew there was 14 seconds left in the game and I didn’t know if there was time still left on the clock so I just wanted to run along the goal line and I knew nobody was going to catch me.

Eli Manning comes off as Miley Cyrus on the SNL all-too-recurring Miley Cyrus Show sketch, but he did win a Super Bowl, so I guess that's pretty cool.

They were in their own half of the field, with the game tied. It's REALLY hard to run around for 12 seconds from 11 guys who are faster than you and not get tackled (at which point, the Eagles would've had the opportunity to make a long play for the end zone or kick a longish FG for the win).
