Buffalo Bills Game Against The Bears Might Be Messy

Posted on August 8, 2011 by

With the Bills getting ready to play the Bears uncertaintity hangs over this matchup. It seems the field in Chicago ( Soldier Field )is not in as good shape as it needs to be.

The Bears organization had to cancel a fan event earlier in the week due to “Poor field conditions”, but the Bears Front Office have assured the Bills and the NFL that the field will be in good shape for the game on Saturday.

The Bills are a team who have had their share of injuries throughout the last few years and they do not need to start the pre-season with any more injuries. Hopefully the Bears  keep their promise and have the field in tip-top shape on Saturday.

As The NY Giants Fans Stomachs Turn

Posted on August 8, 2011 by

If you are a NY football Giants fan coming into this year and with all of the craziness that has happened so far before any Pre-Season or Regular-Season game has started, you must  be asking yourself ” Is this a Freakin Soap Opera or something” ?

Well, today another page turned  in ” A Giants Fans Stomach Turns” ( The new Fox show before every Giant game this season ) as Osi Umenyiora and the Giants are talking but I do not think they are listening to each other. It has been reported by ESPN.com and other outlets that Osi is now asking for the last year of his contract be removed while the Giants are asking for 13.5 sacks for additional incentives not mentioned.

Both ideas are ridiculous in my opinion. To ask a player to achieve 13.5 sacks in a season may be possible when you are not talking about some of the other cast of characters the Giants currently have on that line. You know guys like Tuck,Kiwanuka,and Pierre-Paul will have their fair share of sacks and make the 13.5 incentive almost unreachable for Osi.

On the other side, The Giants or most any other team will never give a year back to a player for the sole fact they have him at a good deal and why would they want to give him the option. “You are signed -you play” is the thought of most teams owners.

I think both sides are just not being fair. They both have said at one point they both want it to work. The good news right now is that both sides starting  talking. The bad news is the talking is unrealistic. The Giants have to come up with a better plan than giving incentives for a goal not reachable and if Osi wants to really be a Giant, he has to stop the abrupt and sort of babyish attitude of Pay me or trade me. If you ask me unless both sides get a grip on reality, I really do not think you will see Osi in a Giants uniform anytime soon.

If The Eagles Are The Dream Team- What Are The Giants?

Posted on August 8, 2011 by

Ok, so what is today’s date? August 8th- right? and the Eagles are already saying that they are the ” Dream Team ” of the NFL. I will give them credit for the most busy off-season with also the most productive moves on paper, but that is all it is right now PAPER!!!!!!!!!

NFL games are played on the field not in a notebook or a computer, so I think the Eagles need to just tone it down. Now with that being said, Do I think they will be a dominant force in the NFC and for that matter all of the NFL ? Absolutely, but I am just not ready to put this team in the likes of LeBron and company. By the way, being a dream team does not always mean the best things will be the ending outcome. Just ask the Heat.

This brings me to my next point: If the Eagles are the Dream Team, then what are the Giants: The Scream Team ? As much as the NFL did not know the outcome of the Lockout and if there would be football or not, that is pretty much how the Giants short but very dramatic training Camp and weeks leading up to the camp has been so far. Shaun O’Hara and Rich Seubert were cut. Osi Umenyiora refused to play (holdout ). Prince Amukamara did the same and then after finally agreeing, breaks his foot and will be out for an undetermined amount of time.. Cofield left for the Redskins. The Giants’ idea of a big free-agent signing was center David Baas ( really now ? ). Osi Umenyiora shows up, but demanded a trade. Oh and don’t forget he then said he was injured ( WTF? ). TE Kevin Boss,still says he loves the Giants, but left for the Raiders anyway ( more money ). The good news in the Tight end front is they did replace him with Ben Patrick. Oh wait, he announced his retirement after signing with the Giants. What a bummer!!!

Dont’ forget Steve Smith being hurt and a Free Agent and meeting with the Giants. Ok, maybe I changed my mind because after looking at the Giants, most teams in the NFL look dreamy. Coughlin however, and his teams in the past have found a way to make some of the bleakest situations come out right. I am not sure he can do this with team, but we will just have to wait and see.

The Giants Prince Will Not Be King Anytime Soon

Posted on August 8, 2011 by

Giants fans right now are probably saying “Come on can we catch a break?”, but unfortunately sometimes it just does not always go your way. The Giants are feeling that right now as they watched their first round pick Prince Amakumara break a bone in his left foot during practice on Saturday. There is no date for a return at this time.

The Jets Like Change

Posted on August 8, 2011 by

Mike Tannenbaum announce a lot of changes to the team recently. The biggest addition recently is Derrick Mason. Mason will make the already solid WR core. Mason has played in the NFL FOR 14 years and is the active player leader for wide receivers for receiving yards. This move may even be bigger than acquiring Plaxico. Mason can really bring a lot to the receiving team even at 34.

The Jets have also signed snapper Wilson Raynor and TE Keith Zinger. They released LB Cody Brown and TE  Collin Franklin.

Plaxico Tries To Sneak Into Practice

Posted on August 8, 2011 by

We all know that Plaxico Burress is itching real bad to get back to Football after such a long time away from the game, but Rex Ryan would not have anything to do with that. It seems Burress found a way to sneak onto an 11-11 squad practice. Ryan shut him down right away since he stated he is taking it easy with Burress since the team really needs Plaxico on the field when the real season starts.
