http://sportsblogs.org/entries.php?team_id=48&date=2008-07-06&start=0 Sports Blogs :: New York Giants Daily Entries en-us The vote to determine whether or not we should grant Tiki Barber an automatic spot on our Big Blue View All-Time Giants Team is split almost 50-50. With that in mind, I can't just give him a spot. So, Tiki will have to rely on Big Blue View Nation to vote him in. Here are your nominees for the two running back slots. Tiki Barber -- We all know the numbers. He's the Giants all-time leading rusher (10,449 yards), second-leading receiver of all-time (586 catc... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1265334&src=rss 2008-07-06T04:32:31 Nothing’s more embarrassing than getting injured in the Pro Bowl. The only thing I can think of that comes close is farting on stage while accepting an Academy Award. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Now that the season is over, I gotta take a break from thinking about fake field goals, personal seat licenses, cheerleaders and quarterback sneaks every [...] http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1264724&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:18:24 Something has happened in the Giants’ camp that’s worth writing about. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve been able to give professional football my attention. Sure, I rooted for the Saints like any good, not-racist American. But since the Giants were eliminated, my heart just hasn’t been in it. Then yesterday, the New York Giants [...] http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1264725&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:18:24 Just a quick heads up: Tony Dungy hates the gays. Or at least he doesn’t want them to get married. Apparently he’s helping to fundraise for the Indiana Family Institute, which according to its website, has “taken a stand against the gay rights agenda.” This is why the NFL must abolish the extra week off before [...] http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1264726&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:18:24 Bill Belichick needs to show how good a sport he is NOW. Nothing will stand in the way of his man-hug. NOTHING! This is good sportsmanship we’re talking here! GET OUT OF THE WAY OF GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP! http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1264727&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:18:24 Goodbye Giants season! I will try my best to only remember the good things about you: The Fox robot, that song from the Budweiser commercial slowly growing on me….uh, that’s all I’ve got. MOMENT OF PERSONAL CRISIS: What do I do now? Root for the Saints? I guess so. It’s sad when a season [...] http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1264728&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:18:24 Haha! Take that Tony Romo! I hope you will look back fondly on your month of being loved. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1264729&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:18:24 The Giants vs. Redskins game was one of the best I’ve seen all year, and not just because the Giants made the playoffs. It was full of trick plays, backup quarterbacks and Hail Marys, which are all prerequisites for great football. It was awesome to watch Tiki put the team on his shoulders, too. [...] http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1264730&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:18:24 One of the greatest privileges of being an American is minor league baseball. The admission is cheap, the beer is cheaper, the summer nights are warm, and the stadiums are too small to have any bad seats. Even the mascots are especially entertaining. Take Sizzle of the Kansas City T-Bones, for instance (Left.) [...] http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1264731&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:18:24 Stephan Mara, the son of the late Giants patriarch Wellington Mara, beat up an Eagles fan on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange last Tuesday. The morning after the Giants lost to the Eagles, the 57-year-old Eagles fan pretended to do a jump shot when Stephan Mara walked by. Mara didn’t think this [...] http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1264732&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:18:24 Seems like Coughlin days are numbered with the Giants. The Giants have been hemorrhaging key players throughout Coughlin's 3 seasons with the Giants. Not sure what his NFL coaching prospects are but it's likely that Coughlin will be nailing his own coffin if something dramatic doesn't happen in the 2007 season. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261582&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:02:50 What is going on with Michael Strahan? The New York Giants' defensive end has been ordered to pay his ex-wife over $15 million dollars, so why was he at her house arguing over it? http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261583&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:02:50 Eli Manning and Peyton Manning will meet on the field for the first time ever, to open the 2006 season. It is hard to believe that these two haven’t played each other in the NFL but it’s true. I think the meeting would be all the sweeter if one of the brothers was on defense and could sack the other. That would be funny. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261584&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:02:50 Now that football season is over I got to get out of town for a while. We went to Taos, New Mexico http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261585&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:02:50 Tiki Barber is not just a famous football player but he is a good man too. While preparing for the Pro Bowl in Hawaii, Tiki Barber was doing something to show his support for our men and women of the armed forces. On an invitation from Captain Rob Wolfe, Tiki went on an early morning PT run with one hundred and fifteen men of the 2nd Battallion based in Hawaii. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261586&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:02:50 My heart is still a little heavy when I think about poor Eli Manning and the New York Giants. I know the pressure of competing for the Super Bowl would be too much for me, so I hope he doesn’t beat himself up about losing. All the New York Giants should be proud they had a great season and made it to the playoffs. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261587&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:02:50 Eli Manning has said this week that he feels he will get better in 2006. He wants to assure the fans that he is going to work on his game and leadership skills. Eli says he is going to try to be the man that can get the win when things aren’t going our way. I don’t think he should be beating himself over up the Carolina game. He made mistakes but I don’t know anyone who could perform well under all that pressure. Just to get to the playoffs is a grand achievement and he took us there. M... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261588&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:02:50 The Giants season has been full of record breaking plays and stats. Tiki Barber was a big contributor because he became the only player in NFL history to get 500 receiving yards and 1,800 rushing yards in a single season. Barber is second in NFL history for overall yards with 2,390.The Giants first playoff game sold out of tickets in 11 minutes. Are you proud of your team? Our total for points in a season is the second best in Giants history at 422. The Giant offense was ranked higher than it... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261589&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:02:50 Our loss to the Redskins came at the wrong time for us. We have to win this next game against the Oakland Raiders to clinch the NFC East title. The Raiders haven’t played the Giants since 1998 and they have lost five consecutive games so our chances at the title look really good. We are lucky we had a loss to give and are not in dire straits now because of it. Eli Manning has a good chance of having a great game as the Raiders pass rush has been ineffective for some time. Kerry Collins is f... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261590&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:02:50 The Pro Bowl elects were announced and the New York Giants will be sending a record six players to the all-star game. This comes as no surprise with the talent we have seen on this team this year. The honorees are Tiki Barber, Jeremy Shockey, Osi Umenyiora, Michael Strahan and David Tyree. We beat the Chiefs on Saturday, extending our winning streak to thee games and this is just the way I saw the Giants moving into the playoffs. We face the Redskins and then the Raiders and I have high hopes... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261591&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:02:50 Our Giants kicker Jay Feely may have missed three field goals in Seattle but he remains the highest scoring and best kicker in the NFL. He has a whopping 119 points for his career and the best statistical rating for a kicker in the NFL. Feely made up for Seattle in the game against the Cowboys and has made his mark in many other games this season. Kickers have the more riding on each individual play than any other position on the team, and Jay Feely performs well under pressure a majority of ... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261592&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:02:50 The Giants played like a team possessed by victory against the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday. The Cowboys couldn’t convert on downs and they had more punts plays than first downs it seemed. The New York Giants fought well and totally stopped the Dallas running game. We also stopped their passing game. We clenched the conference with an iron fist and proved we are the better team against a formidable opponent. Tiki Barber was the star of the game with 30 carries and 115 yards. Eli Manning only ... http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261593&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:02:50 On the morning of the NFL Draft, 1200 runners competed to benefit local charities. The Giants Foundation will take the proceeds and distribute them among organizations in the metro area. The race included free entry into the Giants Draft Party for runners. http://rd.sportsblogs.org/viewEntry.php?id=1261581&src=rss 2008-07-06T00:02:49
