Finally, something to talk about other than the weather. Thank you, Aaron Kampman.
The Packers' Pro Bowl defensive lineman, among others, pointed out the Giants are a dirty team. (In case you missed it, you can check out the article here.) Kampman actually pointed it out back in week 2, but the others made sure to follow up this week.
Shaun O'Hara was the main target, as Kampman said that O'Hara hit him after the whistle with a forearm to the back of the neck. The laughable part? Since Kampman tried to lay low, the man who agreed with him: Rodney Harrison. When Osi Umenyiora heard that today, he almost fell off the mini-stage where the podium was in the media room.
As you would expect, it was the big topic. Also as you would expect, not many of the Giants took the bait. But if they were looking for any extra little motication (see: Barber & Crayton,) maybe they found it today.
Other topics:
Sam Madison: limited in practice today. When we spoke to Sam he was in good spirits. I tried to get a little something out of him, but he wouldn't specify how much he was able to do. He said, "We'll see," with a smile a few times. He did admit that he's feeling much better than he has, and when I asked him if he was optimistic about his chances of playing, he did say, "Very." Take that for what it's worth.
"Seinfeld:" Yes, "Seinfeld." By now you've probably heard that a local TV station in Green Bay has decided to pull a 5:30pm episode of "Seinfeld" on Saturday because they heard it was Eli Manning's favorite show. Leave it to Michael Strahan to point out the astutely obvious to the TV execs: "You know, 'Seinfeld' is on DVD now. He can watch it on DVD."
(And by the way, you haven't been entertained until you've seen Anthony "Fooch" Fucilli from MSG, not exactly a Tom Coughlin favorite, ask TC about 'Seinfeld.' Worth the trip across the rivers.)
And oh yeah, the weather. Apparently, it's going to be chilly in Green Bay Sunday.
Lastly, and wisely, nobody crossed Ernie Palladino today. A few close calls, but the Italian Stallion remained at bay. I thank the Good Lord everyday for that man.
Giant Question Marks Coach Tom Coughlin said DE Justin Tuck and G Chris Snee were excused from the final day of mandatory minicamp to tend to personal/family situations.
Giants Mini Camp - Day 2 - Ragged Offense WR Sinorice Moss, who walked away from Tuesday afternoon's practice with a sore leg, has a strained hamstring that will keep him out for the rest of minicamp.
One Happy Camper Giants coach Tom Coughlin was in a very pleasant mood Tuesday - and with good reason. He had perfect attendance - with every player in uniform as the team opened mandatory minicamp for the first time since he took over in 2004.
Reese's Pieces GM Jerry Reese is a man of his word. He said in the Pre-Draft Press Conference that the rumors about the team...
Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock It's that time again....Draft Time. Everyone is on the clock! It seems only natural that the Giants will go offense with the 29th pick. Especially with the off season acquisitions that the team has made.
Giants 2009 Schedule Features Five Prime Time Games Five prime time games, including the previously-announced Thanksgiving night clash in Denver, and the team’s first regular season three-game road trip in 15 years highlight the Giants 2009 regular season schedule, which was released today.
