Coakley and Claiborne are new additions at linebacker. They also play special teams.

[Ultra Sonic]

I'm actually looking forward to seeing the Giants perform. Eli Manning did pretty admirably in the final part of last season, so we'll see how good he is as a sophomore.

That said, NO MORE INJURIES! They have been a PLAGUE to the Giants franchise for the past several years.

[Asphalt]

Warner will start all season, he's good. Darn good.

[Asphalt]

I'm saying Giants go 7-9. Next year they'll bein the playoffs.

[Asphalt]

You'll be decent. Not SB

[Ultra Sonic]

They'll have at least nine victories. It's a shame Dave Brazil's gone though; he was a defensive genius.

[Asphalt]

maybe. We'll see.

[thefactor]

I'm a cop. I became allergic to office life and had to get out. Best job in the world. Should have done it earlier. I wish the Jets and Giants were both gonna play in the stadium, but let's build it first.

[demsux]

Warner will start all season, he's good. Darn good.

Warner was darn good...why do you think the Rams let him go (other than his obnoxious wife)?

His throwing hand is TOAST. He can hardly grip the ball...as evidenced by his consistent fumbling.

[Asphalt]

interesting. Lots of work over in NYC

[Asphalt]

His obnoxious wife? Why? Just because her haircut is bad? The Giants overachieved with him, his stats were mediocre, but he led them to a five and two record. His throwing hand is fine. He had a terrible line last year.

bttt

That area is very desolate. I live about ten blocks from the rail yards - for that reason, I'd love to see the stadium put there. Not wild about the public funding, but would welcome the inevitable private investment in the area.

bump

[Sprite518]

I love the NFL. Go Falcons!

[Asphalt]

hehe

[thefactor]

Well, the taxes and revenues generated by the stadium and the Javits expansion would reap huge profits for the city. Opponents just want more housing projects so they can get prime real estate for $150/month. It's laughable.

STEELERS

[Asphalt]

I have the luxery of choosing what team to go for, as I am from Oklahoma and we have no pro team. A while ago I was watching a Chiefs Colts game and decided to go for the Chiefs. When the Colts won I was upset, the Colts advanced and played the Steelers, when the Steelers won I decided I really liked them. The next year they went 13-3 and I was happy, then they went 9-6-1, then they went 6-10. I considered switching teams, but then they went 15-1, and I am happy, as a side not, I now like the Colts as well.
