Land of the Giants: Woodson signs

by Ed Valentine on Jun 20, 2009 9:00 AM EDT in New York Giants News

Here are a few interesting New York Giants' stories for you on what promises to be a rainy Saturday here in upstate New York.

The Giants signed 7th-round pick Stoney Woodson Friday, and cut cornerback Rashad Barksdale. Ralph Vacchiano reminds that since the Giants can only bring 80 players to training camp (a really stupid limit), each signed draft pick will lead to a player being cut.
I dropped a picture on you the other day of linebacker Danny Clark and his tricked-out Smart car. Well, I got a note from tight end George Wrighster the other day to let me know that the players have some thoughts of their own about the car.

Players tell him they are gonna "pick his car up and put it in the back of their pickup trucks". Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck, and Chris Canty all think they can not only pick up his smart car but if it were a running back coming through the hole they could tackle it. I know it's not possible because it's a car, but there's a small piece of me that feels the same way.

That's funny stuff. Yes, I do kinda like Wrighster. And yes, he really did shoot me an e-mail to point out his blog post.

How do you feel about the Giants adding corporate logos to their practice jerseys? I really don't care, but I don't look forward to the day when this kind of stuff finds its way on to game uniforms.

What incentive is there for a company to sponsor practice jerseys?

thats so stupid

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.

Probably

practice photos that might show their logo, that’s all.

Seems like complete waste of money

Clark's car

I really hope they don’t try and pick it up. I Mean, it probably doesn’t weigh no more than the OL, but wouldn’t there be a risk of injury to their hamstring’s? lol That’s the last thing we need!

lol, that’s exactly what my family and i were thinking when we went to europe and saw them all over the place. If they ever sell them in NYC, they’d be stolen so easily, you’d just need to pick them up.

I don’t care for corporate logos. I think they’re milking way to much money out of everything and anything they can.

Glad they signed Stoney

I was hoping they locked him in before a likely long embarrassing holdout. Its a shame that it came at the expense of Avon’s cousin Rashad Barksdale. At least Rashad will have work when Unc gets out.
