Charlie Sheen a Lawrence Taylor starter kit

I like LT. I admired his greatness and think he was the best player to ever step on a football field. The New York Giants will most likely never see a player quite like him ever again. We can hope... but I feel Giants fans were lucky have an LT play in New York.

LT was a part of a great defense and Two Super Bowl Championships. After a night of Boozing and Coke...He was always good to get two sacks and a fumble. I do not think LT ever missed a game... other than Suspension. Suspended for being a Wild Man.

A bold Charlie Sheen once was asked in an interview, "What do you think about Wild Man, Russell Crowe?" Sheen replied... "Amateur!" Would he say that about LT ? Now, could Charlie Sheen have admired LT too? Maybe not the same as die hard Giants fans? Lets look a little closer.

When Taylor was once asked what he could do that no outside linebacker could, his answer was, "Drink". Sounds like a Charlie Sheen answer.

LT claimed he hired and sent prostitutes to opponents' hotel rooms the night before a game in an attempt to tire them out and that at his peak, he spent thousands of dollars a day on narcotics. Sounds like Charlie Sheen.

He also recounted several other instances of aberrant behavior, including arriving to a team meeting during his playing career in handcuffs after spending a night with some call girls. Hey, sounds like Charlie Sheen.

Sounds like Charlie Sheen is an LT stater kit to me!

Anyway, Charlie is entering rehab again. I guess CBS will have to delay Two and a half men... He should try LT's rigid rehabilitation of golf.

Two Rounds of golf a day and call LT in the morning.

The Dallas Consolation Prize

Here we are a week before the Superbowl and that can mean only 1 thing right? (Enter the sound of crickets) Who else thinks of the Pro Bowl? Not this guy. Now - I personally don't like that the NFL has moved it to the week before the Superbowl.

For one thing - the 10 players on the Steelers and Packers can't participate. Why would the NFL not want the players from "arguably" the 2 best teams in Hawaii representing their product.

Mix in some injuries and you've got some non deserving players making the trip. For example - on Wednesday - the NFL added Dallas WR Miles Austin due to an injury by DeSean Jackson. Really? Miles Austin? I call bullshit...and here's why:

Rec Yds Yds/G TDs
Hakeem Nicks - Rec (79) Yds (1,052) Yds/G (80.9) TDs (11)
Miles Austin - Rec (69) Yds (1,041) Yds/G (65.1) TDs (7)
Mario Manningham - Rec (60) Yds(944) Yds/G (65.0) TDs (9)

Considering Hakeem Nicks missed a few games and might still be hurt - I would consider him Pro Bowl worthy. And if he is still hurt - doesn't he at least get the right to "not attend" due to injury? I'm just saying...

I added Manningham to the list because when I heard Miles Austin made the Pro Bowl - I immediately said, "That's bullshit - Hakeem Nicks had a better year than he did...hell - Mario Manningham had a better year than he did."

Turns out I wasn't too far off.

Congrats Dallas - there's your consolation prize.

Unrestricted Free Agent - MLB Paul Posluszny ?

This kid is 26 years old, 4th year MLB out of Penn State and an unrestricted free agent 2011. He is said to have an excellent football IQ and ability to shed blocks. Had 151 tackles, second to Jerod Mayo last year and in excellent company to be compared to Mayo.
Some of you may remember Mayo. He was the rookie of the year and one of my favorite draft pick options for the Giants back a few years ago. I digress...

This Posluszny, "Poz" as they call him in Buffalo has played for none other than Perry Fewell. Might be a nice fit. Posluszny may even like ole Perry Fewell. Bulloch is most likely gone and at 80 tackles, Goff is still developing.

"Hey Poz, come down and play for the real NY team. Play with the Big Boys in Big Blue."

Other Free Agent options:

MLB- Dhani Jones- Cincinnati Bengals- a re-tread yes, but he was a decent Giant.
MLB- Stephen Tulloch- Tennessee Titans- Tulloch put up 111 solos for Tennessee.

What do you think? Keep Goff at MLB....Free Agency...Draft? All I know is its that time of year to think about Free Agents and Draft picks.

Peeeeeterrrrr, hmmmmm, hmmmmmmm...you are on the draft clock. Pick Peter Pick...Pick Peter Pick...Pick Peter Pick

*******Update*******

January 24, 2011 at 12:00 PM CST- Peter has EXACTLY 49 DAYS to make his infamous pick.

mixed feelings

I don't how to feel about the superbowl in the back yard, every day and every event that gets radio/tv play pisses me off like crazy... Some are trying to wrangle me to the NFL experience on Thursday... and I know it probably would be interesting but I just dont want to go!!! Call me a hater but I just dont feel like seeing any steelers/pack fans all happy and shit... Where is my happiness? Fuck them both... I am giving serious thought to leaving next weekend to avoid all those smiling motherfuckers, all chest out, all sporting at least a 3rd of a chubby. I cant do it... The fucking pack... dont EVEN get me started on that shit... but they TCB'ed when they had to... The main point to this post is that this guy is VEXED... Zero joy... Especially when I see these fanuks sailing past on the good ship lollipop.. I wish I could lean over to my X.O. and order the flooding of tubes 1 and 2... fire!!!!! Shit.. I needed to vent. GO KNICKS

Tippy Toes Wants To Make A Comeback

Apparently Herschel Walker thinks he can play in the NFL at the age of 48 after being timed with a sub-4.4 40.

Well thanks jackass! Where was this athleticism in 1995? I seem to remember you running like you had your shoes tied together...Tippy Toes.

Rushing:
Games (16) Att (31) Att/G (1.9) Yds (126) Avg (4.1) Yds/G (7.9)

Receiving:
Games (16) Rec (31) Yds (234) Avg (7.5) Yds/G (14.6)

Kick Returns:
Games (16) Ret (41) Yds (881) Avg (21.5)

Go back to ballet.

NFL Championships

Most World Championships:
Green Bay Packers, 12
Chicago Bears, 9
New York Giants, 7
Pittsburgh Steelers, 6
Dallas Cowboys, 5
San Francisco 49ers, 5
Washington Redskins, 5
Cleveland Browns, 4
Detroit Lions, 4
Indianapolis/Baltimore Colts, 4

Packers, Giants, and Steelers have more NFL championships than Cowboys. It is so fitting that Packers and Steelers are playing for this year championship in Cowboys land but at Eli's Giants westside stadium!!!

Go Big Blue.

New York Giant Added to Pro Bowl

Defensive End Justin Tuck
Guard- Chris Snee
Safety and Loud Mouth Antrelle Rolle
And Late addition:
Long Snapper -Zak DeOssie


Not since the late 1920's has a Giant Long Snapper made a post season All Star appearance. That gentle (New York) Giant was none other than Jungle Drew!


Jungle Drew was a Defensive Lineman, Kicker, and Long Snapper. Inventer of the chop block and the long snap! Scoop Peterson said, "He was the Real Deal and Hard Boiled." Here he is in his patent Jungle Drew Snap Position:

"Listen see. He was lean and mean and everything in between. The bees knees! Speaking of knees, he was the inventor of the chop block! That's right! I said it here first kids...the chop block. Watch it! He may hit you below the bread basket with his patent jungle chop block! Ouch that smarts...see!"
-Scoop Peterson, 1920's radio announcer.

NEW YORK GIANTS FANS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

I think I saw this guy at our Tail Gate!

It Figures...

As soon as the Giants season is over - the Cape goes back to the cheap booze. The excuse given was about the new year. I'm not feeling the love.

Very disappointing.

Off season SUCKS BALLS!!

News & Notes:

- It looks like Perry Fewell might be done interviewing for head coaching vacancies. I hope he stays with the Giants...we don't need to have our 5 DC in 6 years.

- Kevin Gilbride/Killdrive...and I just saw a new one - Nottoobright. I thought that was pretty funny. Looks like our current and predictable OC is out of the running for the head coaching job at UConn. Sonofa...

- Rumors of Plaxico's return didn't take long...was it less than 24 hours after the Giants last game?

- Did anyone else see that Sinorice Moss signed with the Eagles on Monday? Any bets if he makes their team next season?

- O'Hara pulled out the Pro Bowl in order to have surgery...that makes sense. How many times have we seen players wait 6 months only to have surgery right before training camp. I don't know how much O'Hara has left in the tank...but I'll tip my hat for that decision.

- A good (and lengthy article) by Andy Barall of the New York Times: http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/07/evaluating-eli-at-30-youll-miss-him-when-hes-gone/

- Everyone knows that the Raiders run their organization like a teenager at a fast food restaurant...slow and sloppy. After voiding the contract for Nnamdi Asomugha - does anyone else think the Giants should jump all over this?

- Speaking of Nnamdi Asomugha - why is it that the Eagles are always considered a favorite to land these big free agents?

- Even though the mock drafts will change 100 times between now and draft day...they just never get old. (Start studying Peter!)

Gilbride and Fewell Receiving Interest!!

TC stays and plans to keep the entire coaching staff intact.
To Carolina and Cleveland: Gilbride and Fewell are perfect for your head coaching positions.
BBWC crew: We need to chip in money to buy bus fares for both of them to get to Carolina and Cleveland!!!

http://www.bigblueinteractive.com/
"Gilbride and Fewell Receiving Interest: According to ESPN, the Carolina Panthers and Cleveland Browns have requested to interview Defensive Coordinator Perry Fewell regarding their respective head coaching vacancies.

In addition, there are reports that the University of Connecticut is interested in Offensive Coordinator Kevin Gilbride regarding their head coaching vacancy.

Coughlin Indicates No Imminent Changes to Coaching Staff: Head Coach Tom Coughlin was asked yesterday if he intended to make changes to the coaching staff. “Right now, I’m not,” replied Coughlin. “We’re just starting that part of it, but right now I have to say no.”

General Manager Jerry Reese was asked if he wanted Coughlin to make coaching staff changes. “Well, that’s part of the evaluation process,” replied Reese. “We start evaluating the players, we evaluate the staff, we evaluate the front office, we evaluate everything. We want to get better, we’re all a team, we want to see where we made mistakes and get better.”

New beginings......

So the season is over and I couldn't be more surprised..... Just saying; after week six I felt pretty fucking great about this team..... I can say the disappointment is almost to much for this guy to bear.... I'm no fucking homo so take it easy... this shit just sucks thats all... Now I'm happy Tom got the extension, I know, I know many of you wanted his scalp and you're not going to get it... so cool out and have a coke and a smile... In my humbled opinion, who ever Tiki went to in the off season to stop the fumbling... Jacobs and Bradshaw should be there like now!! Eli should do what his brother does.. and throw passes to his receivers at least once a month in the off season... Its just good business... the man can get down with any of them cause he does this..... Fire that fucking Gilbride... and that fucking Quinn.... those guys are worthless... Please Osi shut your pie hole this off season and just do what you do... Draft the best O line man on the board... then the best middle linebacker with the next pick... next another O line man.. and next try and get a diamond in the rough cornerback.... One thing that gives me comfort is that the fucking jets will not be able to play a play off game at GIANTS stadium... jerk offs.... so this does please me... I don't know who to cheer for this post season... maybe Indy... fuck it... they seem to be the under dog... fuck the rest.... Now its time for this guy to bust out my KNICKS gear and commit myself completely to that till April. As far as our group goes... I am happy with most of the new faces.. But I hate being a group that only represents when things are great.... that would make us cowboyish and this....... me no likey.... but we know what has to get done so It's been real and I will miss my BIG BLUE CREW on Sundays... You guys are the tits.......... peace

AND WITH THE #19 PICK OF THE 2011 DRAFT THE NEW YORK GIANTS PICK.........

Peter.....you're on the clock.

Giants vs Redskins - No Guarantees But Let's Get It Done

Well, there's still no guarantee for the playoffs but the Giants still need a W just to keep their hopes alive. So come out this Sunday to Cape Buffalo as we cheer on the Giants in their final regular season game. Either way I just want them to win for some self respect. Come GMEN, you're better than this.

It's been a pleasure meeting all you new folks that have joined us this year. Hope to see you this Sunday.

As always we'll be up at Cape Buffalo. Cape Buffalo is located off the Dallas North Tollway at the Trinity Mills exit. As you walk into the bar, just walk to the right and head upstairs. You can't miss us.
