PrintNo practice today for the New York Giants. There is, however, media access at the University at Albany, and I will be stopping out there later on to see what I can find out.
The Giants should be releasing information later on the severity of the knee injury suffered by Hakeem Nicks. If we found out anything while I'm out there, I won't have the laptop. I will do my best Garafolo-Vacchiano-Traina impression and tweet the news, though.
If I drop a couple of tweets and anyone is feeling enterprising, feel free to grab them and turn them into a 'Fanpost' for our readers who don't do the Twitter thing. I will get something posted as soon as I can.
I also had a chance to talk with wide receiver Derek Hagan Tuesday. I am working on that, and I will have a Hagan piece for you as soon as I can. Hagan, incidentally, becomes an important receiver for the Giants if Nicks -- or anyone else -- goes down.

Waiting anxiously
For the MRI results. I hope we’re not all writing about the need for Barden, Manningham, and even Moss to step into the potential void.

a.k.a., step up and make big plays.

Thats why fools like me
who suggest in the offseason that we try to move a wideout in a trade don’t deserve to run teams. I guess like in baseball, you can never have too much pitching; in football, you can never have too much anything! Get well Hak, Hix is already down. we don’t need another shot to the face!
LOL, thank gawd you don't have JR's ear than.
Seriously though I am on pin’s an needles on the Nicks injury this would be a huge loss.

Huge loss
Absolutely. Thank God for all that WR depth. I have faith in Hagan and beleive Tiny Tim will make the team. Because of our depth at WR, I’m still more concerned with RB. Things are looking good there for now, but we’ll have to see how the guys coming back from injury play in game conditions. As for Nicks, we’ll know for sure by the end of the day the severity of his injury.
recent tweet
By Bob Glauber that Jerry is cautiously optimistic but wants to await tests before commenting. Also saw a tweet by someone that Hakeem is walking on it and optimistic. So for now I’m optimistic.
Osi Quote:
DE Osi Umenyiora admits that he has been selfish in the past with his concerns over playing time and the depth chart. He added, “If I’m coming off the bench, I’m going to be the best bench player ever.”
from CBS Rapid Reports
Hope he can mantain this attitude throughout all of camp and into the season, and at least help shut up any Osi haters still calling him a team cancer. He’s gotta be a leader for us with Tuck this year, and this is a nice step.
Uh hello, planes? It's blimps. You win.
He almost missed the Super Bowl
“I’ve been playing with it since 2006 and I’ve done a couple of good things since then, so I’m not going to point to that as an excuse why maybe I didn’t perform at as high a level as I wanted to,” said Umenyiora, who claimed he was worried he’d miss Super Bowl XLII after the hip flared up. “It is what it is. It’s pain. It’s something I can deal with, it’s something everybody in the NFL is accustomed to dealing with and it’s something I’ll continue to play with. I might not have the surgery after this year.”
I don’t see how his hip doesn’t become an issue at some point. It will flare up and nobody knows when.
"Make sure you don't Dez Bryant me." -- Justin Tuck
Yeah that hip is worrying me,
especially since it seems several Giants love to play hurt. I’m a firm believer that you SHOULD NOT be on the field if you’re not healthy enough to outperform your backup.
Maybe this means more looks for JPP? Either way, another DE doesn’t look like a dumb draft move at all at this point.
Uh hello, planes? It's blimps. You win.
JR is always one step ahead of us
Not to worried about the Osi’s hip he says he has been playing with it for awhile, in fact I think it was the Dallas game in 06 at Texas Stadium that he hurt it. Point is Osi is in competition with Kiwi for the starting job, if the Hip limits him than Kiwi is our starter and although Kiwi has not been lights out, he has been pretty good. On top of that JR drafted JPP (I hated the pick at the time but now I understand).

Osi
Everyone seems real down on Osi. I see him having a great season this yr. 10+ sacks and regains the respect of the coaching staff and fans w/ his production. Remember he is the biggest fumble forcer we have on this team. Perry is big on turnovers, it was said their goal was to have at least three per game. Imagine that, I just hope they dont get beat going all out on turnovers.
that sounds cheap to me
$90 to travel 200 miles. You couldn’t drive it for that, gas, tolls, wear and tear included.
really?
I was thinking 75 would be more appropriate.
I think one could rent a car and be able to put enough gas in it to get there and back for less than 90 bucks.
I would actually do it if my license wasn’t suspended.
Not quite
At 25 MPG and $2,50 per gallon of gas, you’re still at $40 for gas alone. Some of the older SUV’s might slurp up twice that, even on the highway. Add in the tolls, depending on your route. And the wear and tear on the car.
I’d still rather drive though, just because I like driving.
Tolls
How many $ is a toll and how many do you see on a one way trip from NYC to Albany? So what would be the total to pay just in tolls?
Being a New York Football Giants fan or a player is not a label but it is a calling!
