Draft picks blew.
Hmmmm? Odd name, Draft Picks is. But I'd would still like to meet him, for obvious reasons.

Call me Mr. Picks.
That's one big rope between my legs. Who wants to go for a swing?

This is my first experience ever at being an admin. And I'll say this about the job: It's EXTREMELY difficult. I see now why constitutional lawyers get paid the big bucks. They argue this sort of stuff their whole life. And the supreme court even interprets it.

I'm not saying this board is on the same level as the US constitution. But being a judge just ain't what it's cracked up to be.

I'm prolly the worst of the five at deciding if anything needs nuking. Thats why I usually just let everything go because it's too difficult to decide.

The point of my post? I don't really know.

Maybe just this: Let's not criticize the admins until you've walked in their shoes. Yeah that sounds cool.

I guess one could extrapolate that to: Lets not criticize EACH OTHER until we've walked a mile in their shoes. Yeah, that sounds good, too.

A feeble 2 pennies, but they're mine! ;-)

Hey Atomic,

As a fellow Giants fan, I think we're gonna suck again this year. Still no offensive line. Draft picks blew. Manning's gonna get his ass kicked again. Must be tough completeing passes while your laying on your back.

Are the guys gonna move this to another place because it's sports?
Actually Jodi I think you will be surprised by the Giants this year.
They signed a Right Tackle from the JETS that is supposed to be the real deal and this will let the guy who played rt for us last season go back to where he did well At right guard the year before.
We signed a Real Middle LB from the skins.
A new kicker
A receiver from the Steelers thats supposed to be real good
We also got rid of some dead wood like Dayne so those roster spots will be filled by guy's that contribute on special teams.
We drafted a few good players and we have some money left over to pick up some last minute ,other team late cuts.We will be much improved.
Remember I told you so>> :wink:

My concern goes no farther than the offensive line. Manning's gonna need protection ( hanging curveball for Mr Simmons here..Dick? Dick? ), if he expects to ever complete any passes.

I hope you're right, but with no offensive line to speak of, it may be another long season.

Do you go to any games? We have season tix, so let me know if you plan to attend any games this season. We'll hook up at the tailgate.

We have friends that are Season Ticket holders and we would buy a game or 2 every season, especially when the kids were younger .But with ski in/out condo in the works, I would actually rather go skiing instead! :wink: Will meet ya on the hill!

It's gonna be a long season anyway. I hope it won't, but it looks like it may be. Need some damn offensive lineman. Why can't they figure that out.

Jodi,The O line is gonna be the biggest improvement this season.Just ask J-E-T-S fans LIKE DORK about the RT we got from them KAREEM McKENZIE
This will let David Diehl who is 6'5" 320 go back to Guard were he excelled the previous season!
