Watch the Jets or Giants in Person, Then Go to the Strip Club or Porn Store Posted Jun 24th 2007 9:09AM by Dan Benton Filed under: Jets, NY Giants, NFL Fans, NFL Gossip, NFL Rumors, New York There's nothing better than bringing your children to their first Giants or Jets game on a beautiful summer afternoon. That is of course, until they get bored and proceed to make your life a living hell. After spending three or four hours with screaming children who embarrass you in front of 80,000 fans, you will soon be able to unwind across the street from Giants Stadium. Simply drop the kids off at the car and head on over to the strip club or porn store! Sounds like a lousy ad campaign, doesn't it? Sadly, most New York and New Jersey residents will probably be hearing something very similar to that shortly. According to a Newsday report, East Rutherford has introduced an ordinance that will give the Giants and Jets some new neighbors. The paperwork states that an all new "adult entertainment zone" will be opened up right across the way from the Meadowland Sports Complex. This "zone" will include strip clubs, tattoo parlors, massage parlors and a variety of porn stores. So what's the reason for that opening up next to Giants Stadium? Mayor James Cassella didn't want them opening up near schools, homes or anywhere children frequent. Right. Because children certainly don't attend any Giants or Jets games.

he Got a bad case of assholeitus BTW has any one seen the "MEDIA WHORE " at work yet???? Not I

'Don't know nothing about nothing' Ex-NFLer Tuten charged with reselling stolen goods Posted: Thursday June 21, 2007 11:33PM; Updated: Thursday June 21, 2007 11:33PMcnnEAUrl=""; function cnnEmailAlerts() {document.location.href='/alerts'+cnnEAUrl;} uhref = 'http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=' + location.href; function fbs_click() { u=location.href + '?eref=FromFacebookShare'; t=document.title; void(window.open('http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u='+encodeURIComponent(u)+'&t='+encodeURIComponent(t), 'sharer','toolbar=no,width=642,height=435')); return false; } window.onerror=function(){clickURL=document.location.href;return true;} if(!self.clickURL) clickURL=parent.location.href; OCALA, Fla. (AP) -- Former NFL punter Rick Tuten was arrested Thursday for buying stolen goods and reselling the merchandise for a profit. The Marion County sheriff's office said in a news release that deputies began investigating Tuten when they learned he purchased a $4,000 all-terrain vehicle for $900. He allegedly purchased other ATVs and electronics from suspects arrested for multiple burglaries. Tuten played 12 season in the NFL for Philadelphia, Buffalo, Seattle and St. Louis. His final season was 1999 with the Rams. During a taped telephone conversation, a police informant told Tuten she had two stolen flat screen televisions valued at $1,500. According to an affidavit, Tuten replied, "I don't know nothing about nothing." He then instructed the woman to deliver the items to his home. Tuten paid the woman $600 for the televisions and then asked her to deliver more. Tuten, 42, was charged with two counts of dealing in stolen property. Authorities found the stolen ATV on Tuten's property during a search of his home. He was released from Marion County jail on $20,000 bond, jail officials said. It was not immediately known if he had an attorney. A phone number for Tuten was not listed.

I wasn't gasping I was just contemplating isn't Tuck still injured? or was it Torbor?

this is a great move on the Giants part to get him on the field and to gain more playing time. But what if he get injured? who will be there to take his place? who is his back up? or if Strahan gets hurt Mathias will hae to step up to DE then who is going to fill in his spot? Deossi, Mitchell, Blackburn?

I am getting this upsetting feeling he will get it too :brooding:

:worshippy: link to :No worries season saved

seeing how Finn is hurt and we will need a full back who should we sign ? how about Patrick Pass ? the last I knew he was still an UFA any other possibilities ?

that was either Shockey or Boss

VIDEO You can't fake that

Jeremy Shockey - BigBlueBlogger.com Surprise at Giants OTAs By Dan Benton | June 7th, 2007 E-mail | Print | Share Thanks to Pat Traina from Inside Football for pointing this out to me! She made every attempt for me to get this earlier but I was off attending to a personal issue. So what’s the big surprise? The one and only Jeremy Shockey was in attendance at the Giants OTAs today. So how did Pat get this interesting tidbit? Well, apparently her attention to detail is impeccable. While watching the Giants.com OTA video, you can actually see #80 at the 2:07 mark off to the left of Eli Manning. Considering all the crap he’s gotten for missing certain workouts, it’s time for Shockey to get some kudos. He came in silently and has obviously (as we see on the video) been working with Eli. If only he could get Plaxico Burress to do the same… Other Notes: - The Giants did not offer tender unrestricted free agents Brandon Short, Steve Edwards and Lewis Kelly. - The team has officially released Sir Henry Anderson and C.J. Cobbs. - The Giants are going to visit with recently released cornerback Kelly Herndon (Seattle) in the near future.

yeah when we dump Joseph the Hut

he may come back to the Giants

PFFT that old thang LOL

dude your fucked up now go give your wife a birthday licking

ther is no way he was a bust.

I wouldn't have If smith beats out Toomer and Moss,Jenkins and Mix show they are younger and faster Toomer has been in the league what 12 years? he could be next years trade bait.

why does Toomer need a fire lit under his ass? maybe his injury isn't healed 100%

I remember when I heard we had signed these two guys and I was estatic with the hopes of what they could bring to the Giants . Sadly however, my dreams of grandeur where quickly shattered . these would be my two "overated" picks as well

Posted Jun 1st 2007 6:00PM by Dan Benton Filed under: NY Giants, NFC East, New York How highly is second-round pick Steve Smith thought of by Giants brass? High enough that General Manager Jerry Reese has openly stated that Amani Toomer's job could possibly be in jeopardy. "Our second pick, Steve Smith, he has been catching punts for us in practice and looked pretty good doing it. But we think he can come in and fight for the number three spot right away and battle for the number two if he can grasp the offense quickly enough, which we think he will," Reese said. Talk about high praise for a player who has yet to play a single down in the NFL. I knew that Smith would be a great addition when the Giants drafted him, but I had no idea that his potential impact would be felt immediately. Perhaps I am counting chickens before they hatch, but I'd have to trust Jerry Reese on this one. So, what would that mean for Amani Toomer -- or even Sinorice Moss? If Smith was able to secure the number two spot it would obviously bump those two down. My gut feeling is that Toomer, being the team-first guy he is, would have no problem with it. Moss, on the other hand, might be a bit bummed. He was highly thought of coming out of college and if not for some injury problems, would likely be the talk of the town going into this years training camp.

I dont understand why people even reply to 1D10ts like this why let him even get a "BITE" kid I know its hard not to want to set a fool straight but it's the ones like this that are trying to get under peoples skin best thing to do is not reply at all . This makes him out to be more of a fool when he cant "BOTHER" anyone.

SHOCKEY SURE IT'LL WORK OUT PLAYS CATCH WITH ELI IN JERSEY By STEVE SERBY STOPPING BY: Jeremy Shockey, who spends most of the offseason working out in Florida, joined Eli Manning at the Giants' program late last week but said, "me spending time up there is not gonna make that big a difference." May 23, 2007 -- Jeremy Shockey flew in from Miami under the radar like a stealth bomber late last week to participate in the Giants' offseason program, to the delight of quarterback Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin and his coaches. "My only goal is to win a championship, and I can't do that injured," Shockey told The Post yesterday. "The No. 1 way to stay healthy is for me work on natural grass." Shockey said he is in the best shape of his life after another winter of spartan workouts on the natural grass at his Miami (Fla.) alma mater. "I hope the fans can understand my point of view," Shockey said. "I hope my teammates and coaches can understand my point of view. I'm not going to change my workout routine. I'm not going to change my philosophy of working out. "You'll never see me report to training camp out of shape. If that ever happens, I'll be the first one to relocate my workout routine." Shockey ran routes and caught passes from Manning with no defenders to incur the tight end's wrath. He said he is confident they will sharpen their timing when he returns for next month's veteran minicamp then training camp. "[Giants] fans should not be concerned," Shockey said. "I thought we had a good connection last year; obviously, it could be better, but me spending time up there [East Rutherford] is not gonna make that big a difference now. It's just me running my routes and him throwing the ball to me." As Shockey marches to the beat of a different drum, he would like all Giants to keep their music in-house. "One of the problems playing in New York City is some people think they're obligated to tell the media everything," Shockey said. "I don't believe anyone is obligated to go out of his way in interviews to tell them they've spoken to Jeremy Shockey and 'He's gonna be on flight No. this and that.' What happens in the locker room is supposed to stay in the locker room. If you text message or e-mail somebody, I expect that to stay between me and the person I text message or e-mail. I don't like the fact that things get leaked in the media." Shockey said he has learned from his own media mistakes, all of which he said have come from his burning desire to win. "Sometimes I do get mad and frustrated and say things I shouldn't say ('We were outcoached and outplayed' in Seattle last season)," he said. Shockey's plea for more team silence comes at a time when the Giants have to find a way to compensate for Tiki Barber's retirement. "It's gonna be hard to replace that guy; those guys don't come around very often," Shockey said. Then there is the matter of whether David Diehl - or someone else - can replace left tackle Luke Petitgout, now a Buccaneer. "Luke Petitgout's a helluva tackle, man," Shockey said. "I was very disappointed when I learned I wouldn't be playing beside No. 77 anymore. But we can't start feeling sorry for ourselves. Everybody's gonna have to take a piece of the rope and pull." Shockey acknowledged there will be more pressure on the passing game. "I'm always up for a challenge," Shockey said. "I won championships in high school and one in college; I'm not gonna quit until we get one for this city."

thats just odd but the Giants are moving guys all around . Isn't there any FB's out there why try to convert a DT to FB? Maybe because it hasn't been done yet and they want to be a trend setter?

Boss Could Be Perfect Compliment to Shockey Fifth-round selection displays soft hands and quick grasp of offense during mini-camp . By Michael Eisen, Giants.com Take this story to go! - RSS | Podcast | Mobile May 14, 2007 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. � Kevin Boss is no Jeremy Shockey. That is not meant to demean Boss, the 6-6, 253-pound tight end the Giants selected on the fifth round in last month�s NFL Draft. In the two-day rookie mini-camp that concluded today, Boss displayed soft hands and a quick grasp of the offense. He has the size and skill to become the blocker the Giants need at tight end, which will free Shockey to run more frequent pass routes. Giants fifth-round draft pick Kevin Boss could be the #2 tight end the Giants sorely need to free up Jeremy Shockey.But Boss is no Shockey in demeanor. When Shockey joined the Giants as a first-round draft choice in 2002, he was brash, cocky and outspoken. Shockey was a Pro Bowl player that first season (and three times since that year), but he arguably received more attention for the sometimes outrageous statements he made, the company he kept and the parties he attended. It�s safe to say Boss will never appear in a gossip-page photograph with Tara Reid. He is the anti-Shockey, reserved and soft-spoken. Boss grew up in Philomath, Oregon, a town of 4,000 citizens five miles from Corvallis, the home of Oregon State. But Boss attended Western Oregon, so he could play both football and basketball. Western is located in Monmouth, Oregon, which is home to fewer than 8,000 people and has never been confused with Manhattan, where Shockey spent much of his leisure time. It�s doubtful Boss will, at least initially. �I don�t think you�ll see much hell-raising from me,� he said. Shockey came to the Giants from the University of Miami, which was then perhaps college football�s best team. The Hurricanes, then members of the Big East, played before huge crowds in the storied Orange Bowl, and their games were frequently televised nationally. Boss has no such fanfare. He was not offered a scholarship by a Division I school coming out of Philomath High School. He could have taken a shot as a walk-on at Oregon State but chose to go to Western Oregon, a Division II school that competes in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) against Western Washington, Northwest Nazarene and Saint Martin�s, among others. The Wolves� home, uh, stadium is McArthur Field, which has bleachers on just one side and seats 2,500 fans. With standees, perhaps 3,000 people would attend an average Western home game. Boss said the largest crowd he played before in college was 10,000 people at Linfield, one of Western�s biggest rivals. He played in front of larger crowds when, as a member of the Wolves� basketball team, he played at Oregon and Oregon State. Now he�ll play his home games in a stadium that holds roughly 80,000 fans, or more than he played before in an entire football season. �Playing in front of a big crowd is something I�ve always looked forward to doing,� said Boss, who had never been east of Detroit (where his father was raised) before visiting the stadium prior to the draft. �It will be fun.� So, he figures, will learning from Shockey, who has caught 314 career passes and is one of the NFL�s very best tight ends. �Shockey is someone I�ve watched since he was at Miami,� Boss said. �To be able to call him a teammate sounds pretty awesome. �I�m just looking forward to meeting Shockey and learning from him on the field. Just being able to watch him every day in practice will be awesome for me to learn from him.� Despite the differences in their personalities, Boss believes he and Shockey will cultivate a strong working and personal rapport. �It�s hard for me not to get along with someone,� Boss said. �I�m hoping to be able to develop a relationship with him. He is going to be a good mentor on the field to learn from. Like I said, to watch him every day in practice and just really learn a lot from him.� Boss will also take an advanced course in tight end play from Michael Pope, the Giants� tight ends coach who is the best in the business. Pope is entering his 25th consecutive season as an NFL assistant, and the eighth in his second tour of duty with the Giants. Five of his tight ends have been selected to the Pro Bowl: Mark Bavaro, Rodney Holman (Bengals), Ben Coates (Patriots), Stephen Alexander (Redskins) and Shockey. Pope traveled to Oregon to work out Boss, then brought him to the stadium so he could watch tapes of Shockey and other tight ends. The veteran coach is excited about Boss� potential, but not nearly as energized as the youngster is to work with Pope. �I really learned a lot from him in just the time I spent out there at our practice field working out with him,� Boss said. �He spent a lot of time teaching. So it was great having the opportunity to learn from him. I have learned a lot. I kind of joked about learning more from him in those two hours than I did in five years at school. So it was pretty amazing what he can teach. �It�s different coming from a small school � you don�t have position coaches, especially at tight end. You kind of get stuck with the graduate assistants sometimes. Some of them aren�t real familiar with the positions. I had about three of four different tight end coaches in my career there. So I�m looking forward to getting with Coach Pope and really learning a lot with his techniques.� Despite the uneven tutoring, Boss caught 134 passes at Western Oregon, including 51 as a junior in 2005. He gained 1,590 yards and scored 19 touchdowns. Boss also became an outstanding blocker, though he will soon discover that clamping down on DeMarcus Ware and Jevon Kearse is a little different than taking on a defensive end in the GNAC. But Boss isn�t worried about climbing from a small school to the big time. �It�s different, but I think it�s something I�ll be able to adjust to pretty quickly,� he said. �We were all thrown out there pretty quick and once we got out there we were all on a pretty level playing field. It�s something we all have to adjust to and I think it will be a pretty quick process for me.� Hey, that�s a pretty brash statement from a fifth-round draft choice. Maybe Shockey is starting to rub off on him, just a little bit

No Shockey, But Plenty Going On at Camp Still no sign of Jeremy Shockey. But while the candlelight vigil continues in the player parking lot, here are some thoughts from Day 3 of rookie mini-camp, which kicked off this morning outside of Giants Stadium . . . -- RB Ahmad Bradshaw, the Giants' seventh-round pick, continues to impress with his speed, hands and cut-back ability. He had "a noticeable morning," according to Tom Coughlin. -- S Michael Johnson, the other seventh-rounder, has "great explosiveness" according to Coughlin, who also watched him in the weight room. -- CB Gerrick McPhearson, a sixth-round pick from 2006 who spent last year on the practice squad, broke up three passes this morning and drew raves from Coughlin. "Certainly he has the speed and size (5-10, 197) you look for at corner. He did make some nice plays and it's good that he did. He looks more in tune with what we're asking him to do." -- Dont rule first-year pro Darcy Johnson out of competition for the backup tight end job. He's matched fifth-rounder Kevin Boss catch for catch at rookie camp. "He has made a noticeable improvement throughout the offseason," Coughlin said. -- Among the other players who Coughlin singled out this morning were three of his draft picks - CB Aaron Ross, WR Steve Smith and T Adam Koets - and TE Michael Matthews, a 6-4, 270-pound free agent out of Georgia Tech (Never mind that Coughlin called him "that Mitchell kid". He still likes him). And, as a bonus, here are a few leftovers from Friday's afternoon session . . . -- K Mark Hickok was the lone kicker in camp because Josh Huston had an appendectomy early last week. Hickok was a shaky 4-for-6 with a strong wind blowing in his face. Huston was here today, but hasn't done any kicking yet. -- DT Jay Alford displayed his ability to get into the backfield, bursting through the line to bust up several running plays. -- Long-shot safety Ryan Glasper had a nice first day. He stepped in front of Boss for an interception, nearly did it again, and drew praise from defensive backs coach Pete Giunta for reading and busting up several running plays. And a few more notes . . . -- Coughlin said the first half of the teams offseason training program drew an average of 62 players per day, with a high of 65. -- Though he declined to name any, Coughlin did say that some of the tryout players impressed him enough this weekend to warrant an invitation to training camp. None of them are quarterbacks. -- WR Willie Idlette (Wake Forest) and WR Tyrone Timmons (Mississippi Valley State) were added to the mini-camp roster on a tryout basis today.
