Good morning fellow Giants fans. No, this isn't your Hump Day countdown. I am merely pointing out that training camp for the Giants opens a week from Thursday. Football talk is really going to be in the air, and we're talking more than when players spout off at promotional appearances, write books or the one Tom Coughlin loves--getting in trouble (which, knock wood, has not happened since David Diehl got drunk and stupidly got behind the wheel). Anyway, that does mean we are still in a slow news zone, but only for another week...

Wow, did someone actually put the Giants up there where they belong? Uh-oh. We actually do not want that to happen too much.

When's the last time you drove a car? Two days ago, to a 7-Eleven. I was running out of doughnuts and I had a craving. I always have to have a six pack or twelve pack of Entenmann's doughnuts in my house, no other brand. If Entenmann's is reading this, I like the glazed ones.
This stuff always interests me, but did they actually ask Cruz what his favorite medication is? Is that not dangerous territory?
