Beatty is HUGE!

Welcome to my world

We might as well see what Chris Calloway is up to

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.

Bomar (5) is quite the big boy no??

He could be our new Hefty Lefty, but I’m pretty sure he’s a righty
look at the gun on him!!!

Nicks

looks small standing next to a linebacker, true. But, he’s a pretty big guy.

He looks big standing next to Coach Coughlin.

Wow

Beatty is a monster! And Barden is not far behind!

Is it me or the photo...

Even though he’s smaller by size, Nicks seems to look really thick (from shoulder to shoulder) to Beckum and Barden?

Anyone notice the pipes on Beckum, um…compared to Beatty? I’m not knocking Beatty, just an observation lol!

Is it me or does Bomar look like Kerry Collins on roid’s?

One final (comical) observation. If any team wants to cover Barden with a DB the size of JR, good luck!!! Haha!

Did Kiwanuka change numbers?

I agree, Bohmar is a massive young man

I checked the roster

Kiwi will wear 94 this season.

I saw that too, I wonder why he did that

94

is what he wore at Boston College. I think William Joseph had it when Kiwi first came to the Giants. so, he is going back to his original jersey number.

ah

William Joseph rears his head again

I don't know why

but I thought Beckum and Beatty were both white. Shows what I know, lol

"This is the beauty of baseball. In basketball, at the end of the game, you want to put the ball in your best scorer's hands. But in baseball, it's up to a rookie like McGlinchy and a journeyman like Franco with the entire season on the line. Baseball history is dotted with names like Al Weis and Brian Doyle, men who have taken their name out of the agate type and placed it into the headlines, because it was simply their time."

Well, to be fair

A lot of O-Line guys are white (more than other positions at any rate).

by brisulph on May 11, 2009 8:00 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yea

and when I hear “Beatty” the first thing that pops into my mind is “Warren Beatty,” so that probably threw me off. As for Beckum, I think I just assume everyone from Wisconsin is white.
