  1. Arrington was starting to make plays when he went down. It's really a shame that he's always getting hurt. He could have been a great player.

    Correction he made A play, then got hurt. What a waste of money, good thing that contract had tons of incentives. I hope he comes back strong next season, doesn't talk about the "Mr. Nickles" crap, and play very hard.

  2. LOL I have not seen these rumors yet , it would not make sence for him to do that . To go from HC to DC with out going back to the college ranks first ? I mean if he was "THAT BAD OF A COACH"

    Naa, I mean Fox was rumored to get fired, and would end up with the Giants as HC. But, that didn't happen.

  3. Hey guys, I noticed that most of you guys have pics under by your signatures, I was just wondering how do you post pics there and do any of you actually make them? I like how Lughead has Jacobs, and Nestas collage is awesome, any help is appreciated. thanks guys.

    Yeah, you can get a sig from the graphics section, just request one. Look under "My Controls" and under signature, you can add a link hosted from "http://imageshack.us/" and use tag to add it to your signature. I an try making you one, what are you looking for?

  4. Good god, people of the streets would be better then the secondary we have. Seeing Fox gone makes be relieved, I remember when Coughlin first hired him, and people said "the secondary is going to suffer." And I was like, naa he is a decent couch, our secondary will be fine. BOY! Was I wrong.

     

    As for Adalius Thomas, seeing that we have Arrington / Pierce and probably Emmons, the likely hood of pickup another LB isn't likely. How much cap do we have people? Reggie Nelson looks interesting though, I would love us to pick up a CB in the draft.

  5. I doubt if the FO is really going to keep TC for more a year anyways. TC is basically warming the spot for another coach.

    It makes no sense, either you give the guy a chance, or get rid of him. Giving him a 1 year contract extension, and expecting him to take control of a team, and motivate the team isn't going to happen. So, we either keep TC and give him a large extension, perhaps another 3 years etc.. or get rid of him altogether.

  6. Take out "Hockey" and "Basketball" sections, and replace them with "Other Sports Section," including boxing and soccer" or replace with ONE "Hockey, Basketball and Other Sports" Section. We have too many sections, and people don't post on some of them, because no one is around to read them. Its better to have one big section for these, until they grow bigger.

  7. I don't get it. Yeah we're losing Tiki, but Jacobs has the potential to fill his shoes. Getting a late round rb should be all we would need.

    Jacobs is great, but I still doubt his running abilities. unfortunately we haven't had a chance to see him take the load. If only we seen him play a whole game, not (pre-season) but during the regular season. I still think he is too big, but he is a good short yardage back. Now, we have to see if he can last a whole game.

  9. Giants Say no thanks to Parcells

     

    January 9

    Newark Star-Ledger (registration required): "The Giants have rebuffed an overture from Cowboys coach Bill Parcells about returning to the organization as general manager, according to a high-ranking NFL executive familiar with the team's thinking."

    Tuna swims into GM picture

     

    January 9

    New York Daily News: "Could the Giants' general manager search end with a Tuna surprise? The stage was set for that longshot scenario yesterday when Scott Pioli turned down a chance to be the next GM of the Giants, and hours later a report surfaced that Bill Parcells was interested in the job."

    Big Blue should tap Parcells as coach

     

    January 9

    Bergen Record columnist Ian O'Connor: "Parcells is adrift the way the Giants are adrift, and with both parties deliberating their futures, this question begs to be asked: If the Giants need a new coach, why wouldn't they check on the availability of the old coach, the only one who's given them a Super Bowl title, never mind two?"

    Parcells may be lured back to Big Apple

     

    January 9

    NFL.com: " Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli rejected the chance to interview for the Giants' general manager job Monday, but his father-in-law, Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells, is a contender for it, according to a high-ranking NFL source."

    Report: NY might want Parcells

     

    January 9

    Dallas Morning News (registration required): " But NFL.com, citing a high-ranking NFL source, reported Parcells could be a candidate for the New York Giants' general manager spot created by Ernie Accorsi's retirement."

    Cowher Would Be A Steel

     

    January 9

    New York Post columnist Steve Serby: "If Charlie Weis is determined to stay in South Bend, Bill Cowher is easily the best man for the job."

    In Vacuum of Silence, Coughlin Sits Tight

     

    January 9

    New York Times (registration required): "The Giants made no decision on whether to retain Coach Tom Coughlin. And in their quest to fill their vacant general-manager position, the Giants were left one intriguing candidate fewer. Scott Pioli, who helped build the New England Patriots into a three-time Super Bowl champion as the vice president for player personnel, declined to interview with the Giants. "

    Coughlin In Limbo As Many Long For Change

     

    January 9

    New York Post: "Tom Coughlin's tenure as head coach of the Giants could be days or even hours away from coming to an embarrassing end, one-year shy of fulfilling his four-year contract and not a moment too soon for many Big Blue loyalists... Win in 2007 or else, as the coaching candidate landscape after next season could include Bill Belichick, Bill Cowher or Charlie Weis."

    Coughlin still Giant question

     

    January 9

    New York Daily News: "Several organizational sources said it appeared that co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch were leaning toward bringing their embattled coach back for one more year, but no official announcement was made."

    Uncertainty for coaches

     

    January 9

    Newsday: "Defensive coordinator Tim Lewis' job is in jeopardy, and the Giants will need a quarterbacks coach and possibly a new offensive coordinator if Kevin Gilbride doesn't keep the gig he had the final week of the regular season and in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Eagles... Coughlin's job is still not assured, but with the Giants being rebuffed by Patriots executive Scott Pioli yesterday, continuity may be on the minds of the owners."

    Giants Consider Coughlin decision

     

    January 9

    Newark Star-Ledger (registration required): "Tom Coughlin will soon find out if that's truly the case -- perhaps as soon as today. The Giants coach continues to wait for his verdict after a disappointing 8-8 regular season and a first-round playoff loss to the Eagles on Sunday... According to a person familiar with the situation, Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis has expressed interest in the job (despite his public stance that he'll fulfill his contract with the Fighting Irish), but his buyout is believed to be more than $20 million. Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher is an intriguing option, but he has indicated he will need a year away from football to recover and regain his passion for the game."

    Decision Tom?

     

    January 9

    Bergen Record: "The world will know by as early as today whether Tom Coughlin will be back as Giants coach next season. But without viable alternatives for the head coaching position, Coughlin is likely to keep his job."

    As Giants pack up, Coughlin has nothing to say

     

    January 9

    Journal News: "Coughlin's refusal to come out of the office marked the first time a Giants coach has dodged the media since 1992, when Ray Handley was fired three days after his final game."

    Giants Are Silent On Coughlin's Future

     

    January 9

    Hartford Courant: "Coughlin's future remained in limbo Monday when co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch, who assumed control after their fathers' deaths, wouldn't comment for a second straight day... Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher would also be a strong candidate, but he has promised to spend time with his family in their new home in Raleigh, N.C., and probably wouldn't consider another job for at least one season."

    First move: Keep Tom 1 more year

     

    January 9

    Newsday columnist Bob Glauber: "Why not wait until Bill Cowher is ready to come back, which he is not right now. Or wait until Notre Dame's Charlie Weis is more interested in jumping to the NFL, which he is not. Or wait for Parcells, who is under contract another year in Dallas. Or even Bill Belichick, who might be having some contract issues with the Patriots."

    A stay looms as loss

     

    January 9

    New York Daily News columnist Gary Myers: "The Giants unloaded their lockers into large plastic trash bags and headed out the door and into the offseason not knowing if they will be subjected to another year of Tom Coughlin. Even one more year of Coughlin is one year too many."

    Fox on prowl to crush Tom

     

    January 9

    New York Daily News columnist Bob Raissman: "Tom Coughlin was fired before Sunday's Giants-Eagles wild-card kickoff. Terry Bradshaw and his Fox Sports colleagues wielded the ax. And while the dismissal was just a show - John Mara and the Tisch brothers will make the real call - it again demonstrated how Coughlin's presence and personality (or lack thereof) can lead to a media assassination."

    Patriots' Pioli says no

     

    January 9

    Newsday: "Scott Pioli, the Patriots' vice president of player personnel, turned down a chance to interview for the Giants' general manager's job yesterday."

    Pioli decides to stay with New England, rather than join Giants

     

    January 9

    Journal News: "The Giants' search for a new general manager took a turn yesterday when New England vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli refused an interview... The turndown would seem to give the inside track on the job to Giants director of player personnel Jerry Reese, who is also believed to be under consideration for the Tennessee Titans' GM job left vacant when Floyd Reese resigned. "

    Giant rejection by Pioli: Pats VP not interested

     

    January 9

    Boston Herald: "Vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli announced yesterday that he has declined an opportunity to interview for the New York Giants’ general manager job and will remain in New England... Tom Mills, the agent for tight end Daniel Graham [stats], said there have been no recent talks on a contract extension for the free agent and, it appears the two sides won’t negotiate until after the season. "

    Pioli rebuffs Giants

     

    January 9

    Boston Globe: "The New York Giants were granted permission to speak with Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli for a potential top job in their front office, but Pioli declined the request yesterday."

    Pioli says he rejected Giants' offer

     

    January 9

    Providence Journal (registration required): "The Patriots' vice president of player personnel released a statement yesterday that confirmed he had been asked by the Giants to interview for the team's general manager position, gotten permission to do so -- and turned it down."

    Pioli Sticks With Pats

     

    January 9

    Hartford Courant: "Scott Pioli, Patriots vice president of player personnel, will not interview with the Giants, who are looking to replace the retiring Ernie Accorsi as general manager."

    Jacobs the focus with Tiki leaving

     

    January 9

    Newark Star-Ledger (registration required): "Whether he likes it or not, Jacobs has become the center of attention in the Giants' backfield. Running back Tiki Barber is officially retired (save for one final appearance in next month's Pro Bowl)... There's also a chance the Giants will pursue Chargers backup Michael Turner, who rushed for 506 yards on 80 carries (6.3 average) this season behind LaDainian Tomlinson."

    O'Hara wants to get deal done

     

    January 9

    New York Post (scroll down): "C Shaun O'Hara is the only other unsigned starter and the New Jersey native strongly wants to return. Contract talks early in the season went nowhere and O'Hara hopes he can get a deal done before hitting the open market as an unrestricted free agent... P Jeff Feagles said he's leaning toward coming back for a 20th NFL season."

    Long search continues for Dolphins

     

    January 9

    Palm Beach Post: "The Dolphins spoke to defensive coordinator Dom Capers in Jacksonville, where he is on vacation, before interviewing Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin... Possible additional prospects are Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, Colts assistant head coach Jim Caldwell, 49ers defensive coordinator Mike Singletary, Ravens defensive coordinator Rex Ryan, Lions offensive coordinator Mike Martz and Giants defensive coordinator Tim Lewis."
