Wednesday Walk Around the League 8-20

by jrs1940 on Aug 20, 2008 3:00 PM EDT

Good AFTERNOON Giants Fans, welcome to my Wednesday. Let's take a quick look at some stories making headlines this morning:

Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin has asked the Cardinals for a trade. From AZ Sports Hub, Vince Marotta debates who's in the right in the Boldin vs. Cardinals saga?

After 5 arrests and 3 suspensions, WR Chris Henry is back with the Bungles.

Warren Sapp has joined the new version of "Inside the NFL", soon to be on Showtime.

Remember two weeks ago we brought you a story about 49ers 3^rd string QB J.T. O'Sullivan being someone to keep an eye on? Well, according to the San Jose Mercury News, it looks like J.T. is going to be the starter.

Faster security access here! Step right up, no line, no wait! Get yer NFL Fast Pass here!

According to a new report, fantasy football is very costly to employers.

A few parting thoughts:

If Anquan Boldin becomes available, does Jerry at least make a phone call? I think he has to. Toomer isn't getting any younger, Plax isn't going to get a whole lot healthier, and we haven't seen enough out of the young WR's. The Giants have some extra picks next year; maybe this is a way to put them to good use. Jerry has shown he isn't afraid to make a trade. I think it's at least worth a phone call.

I don't do fantasy football, it's too time consuming and I don't want to be involved in anything that compromises my rooting interest. I know a few people that are just consumed with fantasy baseball and football, and I just can't get into it. I think that report may be a little exaggerated, but I'm sure employers do suffer a significant productivity loss from fantasy sports, like my employer does from this blog.

The Cincinnati Bengals have got to be one of the worst franchises in sports, if not the worst. You have 10 players arrested in a 14-month span, you do the right thing with Chris Henry and release him after the proverbial "last straw", then yesterday you hand him another 2 years worth of straws? Head Coach Marvin Lewis said twice in the past month he wanted nothing to do with this guy, but owner Mike Brown signed him anyway. It's no wonder why they've never won a Super Bowl, and won't for a long time. The fish in Cincinnati definitely stinks from the head down. Hang in there for 4 more months, Marvin, a better job awaits you after your office is cleaned out in Cincy.

Late night, 'jrs?'

Good morning at 3 p.m.? LOL! By the way, the Bengals are a joke. They will stay losers for a loooooooong time as long as Mike Brown is making decisions.

Sorry

Put the story together, and then when it was all done, I saw that you had put up a few things, scheduled it for the afternoon, and forgot about the salutation

so in reality, its your fault

LOL, I will change it

Last week on NFL Live Sapp referred to new Jersey as the “armpit of the United States” . For decorum sake I won’t mention what body part I think sap should be considered.
I think the Bengals just wanted Henry back before his inevitable resurrection in Texas. Speaking of Cincinati: are all these convicted felons allowed to be associating with each other,it seems it would be some sort of parole violation? Never mind the cowboys set that precedent in the 90s’.

We're only gonna score 17 points?

Boldin?

I don’t know much about Boldin, but if he’s the real stuff I would trade for him but not with picks. I would try to package Moss with another receiver or running back. No starters, no linemen, and not Hixon. Anybody else, maybe. It wouldn’t just be getting a prime time receiver but also keeping him away from the Eagles who are still a #1 receiver away from a SB.

Boldin

I live in Phx and believe me Boldin would be a great addition to our aging WR core. The Card’s are a joke, always was and will always be. They don’t want to spend the money and they always let there best players slip away. I would hate to see Boldin in Dallas or Philly!!!!!!!!

as long as

Boldin doesn’t wear 89, right SB42?

Would require a lot.....

Boldin would not come cheap…no way PHX lets him skate for a lower draft choice.

He’s an animal; and above when I read “Jerry has to make the call” I thought, “oh no, Jerry Jones!” – b/c Boldin is the kind of guy that the Cowgirls would love to line up opposite TO. They’d be very very scary with Boldin in there. He catches anything thrown his direction and he is very tough across the middle. There will definitely be a big market for a guy like that.
