June 22, 20205 yr Speaking of.......this was my favorite part of that article. I can't believe this belly-shirt wearing anal polyp already has the 5th most touches in the league. I hope he just continues to decline and becomes the worst cap casualty ever. 2) Old man Zeke's odometer continues to rack up mileage Ezekiel Elliott has only been in the league for four years, and he's still only 24 years old (he turns 25 in July), and yet, there are only five running backs currently on NFL rosters with more career touches than him. Trust me, that's accurate. Five. They are Frank Gore, Adrian Peterson, Le'Veon Bell, Mark Ingram, and Todd Gurley.

June 25, 20205 yr For how critical I am of Howie, thank god I'm not a giants fan. Dear lord, this would make my head explode. Quote 3) Their highest-paid player is done Considering how awful their offensive line was in 2017, particularly with Ereck Flowers at left tackle, the Giants clearly felt like adding a competent left tackle during the 2018 offseason was worth the price of not having to worry about some RDE wrecking the game from week to week. And so, they made a decent (not great by any stretch) LT in Nate Solder, who was one month away from turning 30 at the time they signed him, the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL. The deal? Four years, $62 million. What a mind-blowingly stupid contract. It was easy to see the Giants weren't going anywhere in 2018, or likely anytime soon. By the time any sort of rebuilding of the roster was to take shape, Solder would be deep into his 30's, and likely in decline. Solder is now 32 years old, and he stunk 2019. ProFootballFocus had him down for 11 sacks allowed in 2019, third-worst in the league, according to them. Out of curiosity, I watched every Giants sack on the season, and how PFF arrived at only 11 Solder sacks allowed is beyond me. He was partly culpable, by my count, for at least 19 sacks last season, and seven (!) forced fumbles, shown here: When you read that... Please Please Please keep in mind they spent that to replace Ereck F'n flowers. The 3 LT's in our division over the last 5 years can easily be considered top 5 in the nfl. And then there was Ereck Flowers. Also: Quote After consecutive losses to the Cardinals and Lions last October, the Giants were 2-6, and their season was basically over. So what did Gettleman do? He traded a third-round pick (which became the 68th overall pick) in 2020 and a fifth-round pick (that could become a fourth-round pick) in 2021 to the Jets for Williams, essentially for eight games. Lol. At his year-end press conference, Gettleman faced a line of questioning about the Williams deal, that went like so: Q: I know previously you spoke to a team employee about the Leonard Williams trade. Can you talk about the thought process of trading a top seven pick and multiple other draft picks to bring Williams in when he was going to be a free agent at the end of the year? Gettleman: Basically, you know, it was a three and a five. If we sign him it moves up to a four. The thought process was, I really believe that as much as the style of play evolves, there are basic truths— you have to run the ball, you have to stop the run, you have to rush the passer. If you are seriously deficient in any one of those three areas, it makes it tough. It's going to be tough sledding. By bringing in Leonard, we looked at it, we obviously evaluated the film, by bringing him in, we felt he could be a disruptive force inside. And, he has been. He has been. Q: Couldn't you have gotten him at the end of the year? Gettleman: Well, that's hypothetical. I understand what you're saying, I really do, but at the end of the day, we felt good about him, he did what we wanted him to do, and he wants to be here. Q: Why not wait until free agency? Gettleman: Because now we know what we have, and we were willing to do that. Q: So, you were willing to give up two draft picks, whether it's three, four, or three, five, in order to get that information? Gettleman: Exactly. We felt we needed him. Again, we felt good about it and we feel, and he's proven, he's disruptive in there. He improved our rushing defense with him in there, he buzzes around the quarterback, we've just got to get him to finish now. But, the bottom line is we felt it was worth the deal. The juice was worth the squeeze. Again, lol. They couldn't get a long-term deal done with Williams, and since the loss of a pair of draft picks for a team that went 4-12 the year before would have been wholly indefensible, they compounded their mistake by franchise tagging him. He'll count for $16,126,000 on the Giants' cap in 2020. It's amazing Williams took over a month to sign the tag. If I were his agent, I'd have gotten a signature on that immediately and would have been screaming at the fax machine to hurry up before the Giants changed their minds. Bizzaro world paco where he is a giants fan: And finally Quote 10) Dave Gettleman... It's stunning that Gettleman was able to keep his job this offseason. It's even more surprising to me than if Jason Garrett (now the Giants' OC, lol) had been able to keep his head coaching job in Dallas. Forget the fact that he drafted a running back second overall. That's the least of his transgressions. Gettleman hasn't even been the general manager for 30 months yet, and the amount of money that he has flushed down the toilet on players who were either not worth their pay, or old (and thus useless for a rebuilding team) is unreal. Eli Manning. Nate Solder. Jonathan Stewart. Golden Tate. Patrick Omameh. Alec Ogletree. Antoine Bethea. And coming soon, Leonard Williams and Blake Martinez. And then the dead money he was willing to take on when trading guys like Odell Beckham, Olivier Vernon, and Jason Pierre-Paul. I could go on. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I'm sorry, Giants fans, but your general manager has no idea what he's doing, and your franchise is going to be a disaster until your ownership realizes the mistake they made in hiring him.

June 29, 20205 yr Still cheating after all these years. The NFL fined the New England Patriots $1.1 million and took away a third-round pick in the 2021 draft among punishments for their television crew's filming the field and sideline during a Dec. 8 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns, In addition, the Patriots' television production crews will not be allowed to shoot any games during the 2020 season, and senior club officials will undergo required training on league operation and game policies.

She hasn't posted since the pandemic Last November, she did say this: Quote What would you rebrand them as? I was thinking: The Washington Marshalls. This would honor our original owner and keep a tie to the past while rebranding our future. Quote Quote Marshall was a notorious racist. In fact, there is a movement trying to get the memorial to Marshall outside of Fed Ex removed. So I’m not sure the Washington Marshalls would go over so well. 😂 Yeah, but he was from a different time. Plus, he is in the HOF, so he can't be all bad right?
