'Jrs' is in Arizona for the game with some of his buddies, as you know. There is also a possibility I won't be around when the game starts. So, the inmates might get a chance to run the asylum.
Keep it clean, keep it friendly, keep it positive. Enjoy the game.

I'm so pissed
I’m not getting the game down here b/c of the Redskins-Seahawks game, which promises to be awful. And none of the people I normally go to the bar with to watch Giants games can go today. So I’m either unable to watch the game or I have to go to the bar by myself (and deal with the Redskins fans that will be there). Ugh…
dude go to Baileys in Ballston
They have 4 rooms, so there’s almost always a room that’s just Giants fans. I had this whole elaborate plan to dvr the game, stay away from the results, and watch it when I got back from work. Stupid redskins. Don’t forget, everyone without the game, giants.com has the radio feed for free usually.
CJ, keep a low profile...
and enjoy the game.

i have a solution for u buddy, as long as ur willing to delve into the possibly illegal
try www.justin.tv , what it is is a site where people can live stream from their webcams, so some people connect their webcams to their TVs with an s-video cable, result being a live streaming web-feed of the giants game. i watch NFL network thursday night games on that site, teh quality’s usually good and i just have a basic Optimum wi-fi connection.
and i feel your pain. i go to school at fordham and my bar is full of eagle, cowboys, and even worse…. ugh.. jet fans. J-E-T—— bam, decked in the face. i wish.
checking in live from the parking lot
just saw the players coming out of the hotel, got a great pic of Eli and Tuck, will post later in the week

Is anyone else
not that impressed with the Titans? The Jets are dominating them.
And how awful do the Eagles look? If McNabb keeps playing like this, he could get benched. Or at least should…I don’t think Reid is even paying attention anymore
I've only seen a little bit of that game,
but Eagles definitely look bad.
I’m mostly watching Pats-Dolphins, which is a good one. BTW, when did Will Allen become an All-Pro? Damn, he looks good this year.
new blogger from staten island
Hey guys,ive been reading this blog and the comments for 2 years and i thought i might jynx if i started.If i do i apologize and will never blog again..haha
Lets go Blue!!!
Eagles not looking too good today and neither does dallas for that matter.
Welcome to posting
Dallas still has plenty of problems, but ESPN will spend most of their time talking about them tonight anyway. Ridiculous.
hope this works

I've never heard
the G-I-A-N-T-S chant like that….it works pretty well, but it sounds too much like J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets.
That was AWESOME....
Please don’t get arrested.. I would have to take up a collection here to bail you out, and that would just be awkward.
You may just have to wear Sheriff Joe’s “pink boxers” for a few… then I would have to call you Paul, and that would be funny, then awkward because you would develop “I left my wallet at home” syndrome.
So…
Just stay out of trouble, don’t make me more awkward than I am… :-)
Oh, and
My spidey sense tells me that the clan is all “what is she talking about, we don’t do anything wrong.”
Yeah, don’t go there, I know you shmoes.
Eagles benched McNabb
and put in Kevin Kolb. I wonder if this is temporary or the end of the McNabb era? Probably depends on how well Kolb does, I guess. At least it’s good for my fantasy team, my opponent had McNabb, and he finishes with negative points!
also
the Lions jumped out to a 17-0 lead, and are now losing 35-17. They also have the 2nd toughest remaining schedule in the NFL, behind only our G-Men. Folks, we really might be seeing an 0-16 season. I’m more excited about that than I was about seeing the first 16-0 season (even if you adjust for the fact that it came against the Giants).
Jets are cruising
I think that’ll put the Gmen on top of everyone’s power rankings if they win today.
On a negative note, we’re not going to stop hearing about Saint Favre for awhile.
I can already
hear the Subway Super Bowl talk…
I’ve gotta admit, Favre is looking good, but their defense is their strength, IMO. That, to me, is why they are a legit contender.
hey guys
are tynes and jacobs definately out? not that i mind tynes being out..
And i agree
Dallas will dominate espn tonight.they are this years giants right?? the giants are this years giants.
i think jacobs is healthy now.it looks to me like a precautionary thing and its a way to see ward and bradshaw in increased roles.this should be a great game…
I guess if he gets some snaps
we’re looking at Earth, WInd, Fire and Water.
Or something.
Watch me paste this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachyderms percussion pitch.
I get to watch the Broncos/Raiders game!
Blaarp!
Watch me paste this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachyderms percussion pitch.
that might actually be worse
than the Skins/Seahawks game I’m stuck with….at least I can watch and hope the Skins get embarrassed….there’s really no upside to your game
I know it.
I’m actually envisioning an afternoon of Force Unleashed and Streaming Papa.
Watch me paste this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachyderms percussion pitch.
You think?
I’m into the Star Wars nature of it (the music and the characters and everything) but I thought the gameplay itself wasn’t all that great. Certainly one of the easiest games ever. I’m just trying to grab all the hidden extras at this point so I can say I did. I’m one of those “completionists” who can’t put a game down until I’ve opened every door in it. What version are yhou on? I’ve got the Wii.
Watch me paste this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachyderms percussion pitch.
well
I’m a Star Wars nerd, and compared to most prior SW games I thought it was really good. You’re right about it being easy, but I guess that’s part of what I liked about it: if I’m gonna be a Jedi, I SHOULD be able to kick ass, right? Plus, I ony rented it, and when I returned it I felt like there was still stuff for me to discover, but maybe if I had kept playing it for a few more days I would have gotten sick of it. I have xBox 360, btw.
You're not missing all that much.
The biggest thing is that with enough of those holocron things you can get additional characters to choose from to play the game as, Han Solo or Luke or whatever. I’m not really sure why I’m bothering to collect them all. I just haven’t moved on to the next game yet.
Watch me paste this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachyderms percussion pitch.
So Plax and Ross are active, I take it?
Haven’t seen the list…
Watch me paste this pathetic palooka with a powerful paralyzing perfect pachyderms percussion pitch.
ware
would be interesting to see.he was impressive during pre season
plax and ross are active
i agree
i think ward will be gone and it will be nice to see what ware has in a real game.with the recent success our running backs and our O line i think he will be very good.

Nice 108 yard return on the Iggles.
They are done and done.

eagles out!!
i was amazed that people picked them to finish ahead of us.lets take care of business today!
What about Chef of the Future?
Can he core a apple?

ESPN says no Jacobs today
Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
Jacobs Out
I am really interested to see the offense without jacobs. I am glad they rested him if he is hurt, but I am interested to see how good this running game is without Jacobs and the pressure is going to be put on Eli. I predict lots of Kevin Boss today.
I'm also glad
they’re sitting Jacobs to get him healthy, but I feel like he could have had a really big day against the Cardinals D, who seem to me to be the fast but not too physical type that he usually dominates (note: I could be wrong about that, I haven’t seen a single Cardinals game this season, and thanks to the Redskins, I still won’t after today. grr)
yeah, I had him starting in 3 Fantasy leagues
I figured the same thing. I thought he was going to have a huge game for exactly the same reason. I scrambled and picked up Tim Hightower as a hedge.

So great isn't it.
I love writing the eagles off and all the people convinced they were one of the teams to beat in the NFC East. I was always shocked they were picked by some to finish ahead of the giants. What were those guys thinking.

BTW
fantasy football sucks. I get a big day from my QB for the first time since Romo hurt his wittle pinkie, but it’s negated b/c my opponent had TO, who got the bulk of Romo’s throws. Despite that, I was down by 4 with the first slate of games winding down, and I still have 2 players left while my opponent is done, but he has 2 WRs catch garbage time TDs in the last 3 minutes. Now I’m down 20, and need a big day from Portis which I’m not expecting.
hopefully that will be a problem all day for them
Passing gets tough inside the 20, and they don’t have a power running game
That whole drive was on Toomer
Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
thats what I was thinking
at least one of those hands to head deals
Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
Chalk this up as an L
its not looking good
Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
Ha, well theyre not going 15-1
and w/o jacobs and plax, this could be our second loss…..sorry, I’ll keep my fingers crossed
Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
agreed, but...
they have a ton of weapons and with this defense, they are rarely out of games. With the Cards forced to throw all day, there might be some turnovers to be had. The Giants have already missed two INTs. We shall see.

I thought I saw him too
At least 80% sure it was him.
Is Manningham suited up?

Domenik Hixon
May be one of the Most Valuable players in the NFL.. he does everything better than average
no kidding
I can’t believe we picked him up on waivers. I know he was a different player after the Bills incident when he played for the Broncos, but we were awful lucky and smart to grab him.
by losangelesmets on Nov 23, 2008 4:50 PM EST up reply actions
the MVP award is a crock
it’s more of an MOP award.. Hixon is the best ST player on the Giants and probably the 3rd best receiver.. along with the top returner..
by Hoyadestroya85 on Nov 23, 2008 4:53 PM EST up reply actions
he will get some dough from someone. Hopefully us.
by losangelesmets on Nov 23, 2008 4:53 PM EST up reply actions
well, then Jacobs is a no brainer
Maybe Ward we look at it and not make the same mistake Gibril Wilson made. Hmm. more money, but sucky team. I dont mind a jacobs, Bradshaw, Ware backfield, but I will miss Ward if he cannot stay

Teams get so hyped for us
I love it the fans realize the G-Men aren’t going to rollover for their team
alot of weapons

What is up with these drops?
those two still couldve been caught, defense notwithstanding
Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
Not on tv....
Why in the world would CBS decide to show the Raiders and the Broncos? It’s bad enough being a Giants fan in Florida, and being stuck watching the Jags, Bucs, and Dolphins. But since all 3 FL teams played early today, you’d think they’d show a decent game!!!
Still ...
I think heidi would be a better choice than raiders vs. broncos

by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Nov 23, 2008 5:49 PM EST up reply actions
Not really...
The clock wasn’t running when Coughlin called timeout. Arizona didn’t need to call 3 timeouts if they weren’t going to run a hail mary
I don't get it...
Were they just pretending to do a free kick? What the heck is the point of that?
And what is a free kick? You get to do that after a fair catch?
you're not usually stuck with the 49ers are you?
if so, i’m really sorry you have to watch that.

perfect example of

yes
I love playaction on first down. Man that’s gotta be the first ball he hasn’t dropped all season
Those hands are made for blocking
and that’s just what they’ll do.. cuz once one of these days these hands are gonna block all over you
pass interference?
you’re kidding me.
the hit on KP should’ve been flagged. no way that was PI on Ross.

has to be a hold in there somewhere
Warner had all day to throw.

wow
refs really letting Arizona right back in this. that’s a horrible call. his hands didn’t even hit his facemask. it’s called a jam, corners do it on every play.

by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Nov 23, 2008 6:38 PM EST reply actions
not sure how that's not a penalty
if that’s not an illegal pick, then I suggest lining up Kevin Boss in the slot and having him throw his defender into the cornerback that is covering Plax. Burress will be wide open every time.
by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Nov 23, 2008 6:41 PM EST reply actions
Cardinals drive
4 plays, 12 yards.
8 penalties, 58 yards.
Tim Hightower: 2-yd TD Run. Extra Point is GOOD.
by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Nov 23, 2008 6:44 PM EST reply actions
actually i made that up
because i’m pissed off. i think there was actually only 4 penalties, but i believe all 4 came in succession. 3 of the 4 looked legit (the illegal hands to the face being the exception) but i can’t believe that waved off that pick. i looked at the replay again and what the Cardinals’ receiver did was undoubtedly illegal. that’s why Larry Fitzgerald was by himself on the sideline.
by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Nov 23, 2008 6:48 PM EST up reply actions
that was insane...
i hope they drive it down their throats!!
fun with math
Steve Smith + 3rd Down = automatic.

This team is determined
to be elite regardless of where they play, who they are playing and who plays for them….and there is the Warner interception i said was coming!!!!!!
looked like they could've been helmet-to-helmet

Ok
The Arizona defense held the running game to 69yds but they gave up 31 points!!! How do you give them a pat on the back for that? Plus no Jacobs.

is pretty good considering what they’ve been doing the last few games.
by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on Nov 23, 2008 7:24 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah without jacobs
and yet they gave up over 200 special teams yds!!! Focus on one aspect and the G-men get you another
you didn't actually think this crew
was going to give the Giants the benefit of the doubt on that, right?

the instead opted for an onside kick
which they should’ve had but one of their guys had it hit off their facemask and into the hands of DeOssie. the Giants picked up a first down and now are lining up for a 33-yard field goal. which is good.
no timesouts left for Arizona, 1:55 to go.

Well, good win
I was worried about this one. They have a great offense & showed it today.
