More evening Giants' notes
Thank goodness the Giants took a pass on Joe Horn. A diva throughout his career, Horn is still acting like one, ripping the Giants after being sent away without a contract.
From Ralph Vacchiano:
“I was told to pack my clothes because I may be staying,” Horn told The Monty Show on Sporting News Radio earlier today. “I had a great workout, I thought. I ran crisp routes and didn’t drop any balls and I did what I was asked to do. It seemed like the coaches liked it.
“However, before I could step in the locker room I had an itinerary with my flight back to Atlanta. The opportunity was there. I appreciate the organization and Coach Coughlin for giving me the opportunity. But honestly I kind of felt like I was brought into give those young guys a spark to say, ‘Hey, I know you’ve got a job, but you can be replaced.’ So I think it kind of boosted and gave those young guys a spark to let them know that Joe Horn was there and their playing time could be taken if they don’t get their act together.”
Tough, Joe. Have a nice life.
- The Giants have signed linebacker Edmund Miles to replace Jonathan Goff, who was placed on IR. Mike Garafolo says Miles comes with a reputation of being excellent on coverage teams, where the Giants can use the help.
- QUICK THOUGHT: Let's not get all crazy about these signings, and about guys working out. It's very late in the season, guys get hurt, the best players have been taken from practice squads, and you have to have somebody to fill roster spots when guys go down. These guys are not going to the ones who make or break the Giants push for another Super Bowl title.

He ripped the giants? By saying what exactly? Someone point out the rip!!!!
I guess the idea of Horn playing for the Giants wasn’t popular I get it but to make the man out to be a villain based on those comments is ridiculous

yeah, i'm lost
i don’t understand how what Horn said could be construed as “ripping” the team.
Ed, have you been hanging out with Gary Myers and Frank Isola over at the NY Daily News?

Ripping
was actually the way the Daily News put it.

i'm getting really tired of their act
the Knicks lost by 2 to the Lakers in LA the other night and the whole article was about Marbury buying his own ticket to the game.
i wish they’d focus more on the on-the-field (/court) stuff.

right on
the whole gay DAL-NYG pregame was about whether or not Witten kisses Romo with tongue. How about some GD Xs and Os you idiots!
You play to win the game!

"Let's not get crazy about all these signings"
Does that mean I should cancel the order for my Edmund Miles jersey?

LOL!!
I think you know what I meant. It’s not like there are great choices available at this time of year, and these guys are really just roster filler.

What about your Steve Smith?
I thought he was developing well last year. Is he under performing this year?
Watch out Sunday for his former college teammate Dwayne Jarrett. Fox pulls him in sometimes as a third down, #3 receiver… he has made some nice grabs.

dear Joe Horn,
Don’t let the door hit you and injure you on the way out.

I guess
now every time one of our receivers makes a catch, Joe Horn will be taking credit for it?
What a tool. Some people live in a reality all their own.
