bitching and moaning about his deal like Plaxico.

if the Giants were going to have to put up with this bullsh*t anyway, i sure wish they didn’t give Plax that extra money. he should be eternally grateful that the Giants were willing to sign him to a deal like that when they were basically bidding against themselves. i think other teams knew what a problem he would become.

he’s kind of like Manny. it’s so hard to hate that guy if he plays for your team because he can be so awesome at times. rooting for Plax is almost like getting drunk. at the time it’s a lot of fun, but you always have to deal with the headache (and occassional bad decision) after the fact.

LT says that Plax is a good guy and it is ok to be an individual (like himself), but there is a line you don’t cross and he’s crossing it:

"The rules are the rules," Taylor said. "I don’t know what the rules are over there. But I learned and everybody learned, no one is above the team. Maybe they just can’t understand it. You’re going to have great players on every team. But no one is above the team. So you’ve got to realize that it’s all right to be an individual. I’m all for being an individual. You do your thing. But you’re still not above the team. When it starts to disrupt the team, then you have to revisit it and look at it and see if you’re doing it right."

LT also goes on to say that he thinks with Strahan gone there is no one big enough in stature to control him. He said that when he got out of line, the vets put him back in his place. No one is stepping up and taking on that role. I kind of disagree on that one … I think Tuck has been trying to step into that role, but maybe Plax just doesn’t respect him enough to care.

Also, I think Osi is getting into his TV role a little too much. He knows that what he said is crap.

He’s also pitching an awful tasting energy drink..

I remember a story from back in the day. When the NFL went on the strike in the 1980s, a certain Eagle called his coach Buddy Ryan to see if they should cross the picket line and play. Ryan although management, and coaching replacement players at the time, told the player not to, what ever they did as players needed to be done together. Osi is basically trying to say he’s not a fan of teammates commenting on Plax even if he’s wrong because that in it self can destroy the team, even more than Plax screw ups. And I think he has a point.

I’ve been reading about this upcoming Giants- Dallas game all week, and they are (cowboys fans) thinking that regardless of what the score is this coming Sunday, they will have a shot making the playoffs. So let’s say they loose and go 5-4, are they really thinking they will win all the games after their bye with all starters back? Unless I am wrong they were not playing great before all the injuries, and have they forgot they still play washington (on the road) the very same team who beat them on their turf. I know they have a couple of easy games againts san francisco and seattle, but they will visit the Steelers, they will host the Giants and Baltimore (they could loose either game) and they will finish their season at Philly. Of those games I mentioned they could easily loose 3 and finish the season 9-7. We have a challenging calendar as well, but we have some cushion, even if we split the following games like them, we still have a good chance. And if they beat us, they could still end up 10-6 or 9-7, and that’s without mentioning what Philly and Washington will do, and let’s not forget about Tampa, Carolina either and whatever other NFC teams that goes on a winning streak.
I just hope we win this sunday and let’s just put them out of their misey now, there is no reason to give them hope.

All the leaders are likely to lose a couple of games before this is all over which gives Dallas a chance to regroup and come on strong. I would be surprised if the Cowboys don’t make the playoffs. They have time to make a comeback. I still predict three teams will come from the East.

really thinks the Cowboys with all their talent won’t make at least a strong run iln the second half?

Which is ironic, b/c I was among the many that wanted him gone, but he seems to be able to get everyone to tow the line….maybe the “leadership council” should take the reigns with Plaxico, it might mean more coming from them.

They still have that council right?

has proven to me that he is a better man than he was a couple of years ago. The council was a bif part of that so I hope it is still around.

Late last year, when he and Eli really got on the same page, it was amazing and powerful. Some of their timing routes were things of beauty.

Plax is capable of being a great player and a tremendous part of the team. He said the right things here, and I hope he carries through
