Well it seems, heading into the 2008-9 NFL season, that my Giants are dropping like flies. We lost a number of key starters over the summer, and Osi Umenyiora is out for the season with a serious knee injury.
And now we’ll be without Super Bowl show stopper David Tyree for at least six weeks…
Let’s [...]

The Bigger They Are…
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we playin’ basketball.
Wednesday, August 20, 2008
After yet another brutal manhandling of the opposition, can we stop using the feeble appellation of “Redeem Team” for our men’s Olympic basketball team? Sure, we don’t have the gold yet, but with our worst performance so far a 21-point victory over Angola (and our best a thorough trouncing of Germany by 49 points), [...]
Cardboard Buoyancy
Wednesday, June 18, 2008
While searching for whether anybody had created a boat purely from duct tape, I was surprised to discover a host of cardboard/cardboard and duct tape regattas (regattae?).
A number of official local events can be found through a simple Google search or two, and there’s a ton of hilarious videos on YouTube as well.
Tuck You

I think this picture of Justin Tuck causing a fumble sums up the trouble my Giants gave Tom Brady on Sunday:
THE GIANTS WIN!!!
Monday, February 4, 2008
Against the odds, my New York Giants have defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII!!!!!
Eli Manning deserved his MVP, with his only interception the result of a bobbled reception, and an otherwise strong game that made Tom Brady look like, well…Eli Manning
In addition, the defense for the Big Blue Wrecking Crew [...]
New York Giants vs. New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII
Monday, January 21, 2008
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!
Tonight, against the odds, Eli Manning threw NO interceptions, and my NEW YORK GIANTS defeated the excellent Brett Favre and his Green Bay Packers. Much respect to you, Favre, but I’m glad the boys in blue came out victorious.
I know the Patriots are currently a 13-point favorite, but you can’t count out the Giants [...]
The Dallas Cowpies
Sunday, January 13, 2008
Woohoo!!! Looks like my New York Giants get to spend next Sunday evening in the cold reaches of Green Bay, Wisconsin playing against Gran-daddy Favre and the Packers in the NFC Championship game for a chance to appear in Super Bowl XLII.
It’s amazing to me that our defense was able to pull off tonight’s [...]
NFL Divisional Playoff Weekend
Tuesday, January 8, 2008
While I’m certainly watching the Giants at the Cowboys on Sunday afternoon, what do you suppose the odds are that Valerie will let me watch every playoff game this weekend? They all look like rather exciting games…
New England Patriots at New York Giants
Saturday, December 29, 2007
Here we are, minutes away from the kickoff for what may be the most watched season game for this NFL season. I’m wearing my Giants jersey and I’m antsy.
I don’t honestly have high hopes for my boys in blue, but I am hoping to see Strahan put a few hits on Brady before the [...]
