Good Morning and Happy Hump Day, Giants fans! Hopefully your hangovers aren't too bad, and your eyes are clear enough to read some of the stories making headlines around the NFL:

DeMaurice Smith is getting right down to business as the new head of the NFLPA.
Mark Kiszla from the Denver Post asks: What if Jay Cutler walks? Kiszla's 3^rd option is mighty interesting.
Panthers DE Julius Peppers says he wouldn't mind playing for the Patriots.
This is a few days old, but former Giant Dhani Jones is embarking on a new career.
Rams QB Marc Bulger talks about life after Holt and Pace.
NFL.com has updates on different "Pro Days" from schools around the country.

Final NFL Thoughts:

Stevie Defense isn't wasting any time putting his stamp on the Rams. if I were Marc Bulger I'd be worried about buying green bananas in St. Louis.
I heard Jim Fassel took the UFL job after the deal fell thru coaching in the Lingerie Bowl.

Final Un-NFL Thoughts:

Netherlands baseball.....who knew?
Anybody else watching "Eastbound and Down" on HBO? Is there any doubt that Kenny Powers is modeled after a former Braves reliever NY loves to hate?

Don't forget to check in tomorrow for another Great Moment in Giants Stadium History!

I think the Denver FO is making a huge mistake...

I mean, they would have a decent team if they concentrated on their Defense…but no, they are in a Favre-esque type of a situation. Now they will need to find a QB, I suppose the defense can wait another year or two…

Because we all know “its offense that wins championships” (rolls eyes)

I would LOVE if the Broncos could trade Cutler for Romo

first of all, I think Romo’s a better QB than Cutler. I know a lot of people here irrationally hate Romo, but the guy is talented, and I have a feeling that if he played for any team outside the NFC East, most people here would like him just fine. I actually enjoy the way he plays, I just wish it wasn’t for the Cowboys. Also, Cutlers such a prima dona, he would fit in perfectly on the Boys. It’s a match made in heaven. Do it, Jerry.
