if you want, we can talk about how the Cowboys majorly reached for a center in the first round.
I'm not sure how I possibly missed Rodgers' extension but I just read through the details now... and OMG does it make Ozzie Newsome look like the dumbest, most reactionary GM on the planet.
This is the best structured and most well planned large contract handed out in the NFL since Megatron's.

I think its pretty clear you only bring Tebow in to be a clear starter. The media circus is terrible when he's a backup.

Draft grades for the Giants' picks sorted by several sites. Shockingly, Kiper's grade is the worst.

Yeah it was lost in the draft discussion but Rodgers took an "American Hero" contract.
Unlike Flacco, Rodgers has a national brand. He'll just do a few more commercials anyway. Now hopefully Green Bay will spend to keep guys or bring guys in with his contract savings.
Eznark hates Fraudgers and wants him to get cut so they can bring up the talented backup. Green Bay wins championships when they promote talented backups. Once those guys become famous starters they win a lot of regular season awards, MVPs, but usually choke in the postseason....so you hope that the Packers win multiple championships?
eznark is a smart guy and doesn't give a fuck about the regular season. He wants to win championships and I was just being mean.

It's hard to do business with Tim Tebow. The constant pressure on coaches to play him & circus that follows, it's just hard to do biz w him
Jay Glazer ‏@JayGlazer
And BTW, he chose Jets over Jags bc he knew neither coach nor GM in J'Ville wanted him, only owner was pushing for him
I guess we all had thought that, but there was always talk he went to NYJ for more attention

...it's as if he's never watched a Giants draft in the past 20 years.
I am sure it will work out fine for you.
Tammy took the shitty qb/hometown discount for years and look at all the high profile picks and free agents the Pats used that money to sign since then!
Rutgers North is expensive!
I like you.
This has nothing to do with anything but jesus christ 2 year olds are monsters. How are you guys dealing with two at a time?!
Thanks for reminding me.
Im going to go listen to some of their sports radio.
Shango about lost his shit. Poor guy.
He had them picking D.J. Hayden so it's weird for him to nitpick hard on LB again. I'm surprised myself for the absent CB choice, but oh well. Linebacker is just something that isn't important to them - why he continues the charade is just strange, that's all....it's as if he's never watched a Giants draft in the past 20 years.
You need to play this game. It's probably one of the best JRPG's to come out in the last 20 years.
It's not THAT bad.

Just wait until they are 3. Terrible 2's are a myth, 3 is where the fun really is!
Smiling on the outside, dying on the inside.
My wife is pretty close to going completely insane. I get to get the fuck away from that mess 5 days a week so I have that. But when they are sick we are miserable. Fuck germs. They are almost as bad as the Patriots.
My only advise is let her outside as often as possible. You need to treat a 2 year old like a lion or bear at the zoo. Over feed her and make her tired by having her run around. Yeah you might be training her to eat you in the long run, but in the meantime it will make her happier and easier to handle!
Outside of the first two reaches the draft wasn't that bad I felt. I don't even have that big of a problem with Fredrick himself since the Cowboys desperately need a non dumbass lineman.
Seriously though, it's the blueprint on how to handle the QB situation. Do an extension as soon as possible from the rookie contract (they did), putting the QB in the mid to high level ($10-12m a year) before getting too carried away (exactly what they did with him). Further evaluate to see if they maintain that level, then extend again prior to the end of said first extension, maximizing cap flexibility and value.

Meat and potatoes draft. Seems to line up with what Coughlin is saying. They went in with the strategy of getting bigger in the trenches and apparently they never felt the CB's on the board were worth taking given that strategy. Coughlin says more here (including LB):

My second is about 1 and a half and it's already starting. They search for death actively and don't listen to a damn word out of your mouth. I'd like to punt kick her through a window more often than not.
Those three things are actually closely connected. Mingling with Pats fans is the key to happiness, just ask like half of the married guys in this thread!
Hating on the Pats will just lead to your favorite player getting cut from the worst franchise in the league.
I say we settle this by act of drunken fisticuffs. I will destroy you German.
Just imagine if you drafted three players from Rutgers!
Good way to make sure they don't get overweight. I remember I was outside all day every day during the summer. Kids these days and their vidya games.
I should've listened!!
She's actually pretty awesome most of the time but good lord when she is shitty she is real shitty. I just take my son and walk out of the room. I don't know how to deal with that shit!
And yeah, bionic, my kids are always outside. My wife hates being inside anyway so that's nice. Really looking forward to nicer weather.
Pretty much. Helps that Rodgers (and to be fair most QB's) is seemingly somewhat grounded

Boys are way better to deal with ez. I have both.
My son is a bigger baby, but 90% of the time he just wants to do his own shit. My daughter doesn't shut up and 90% of the fights between them are caused by her running her mouth and pissing off my son. I actually feel bad for the guy! Imagine living with a Bears fan constantly telling you what to do and how you were wrong about everything. Eventually you would resort to violence.
Your wife is smart taking her outside. Getting them tired and full is the key to a few moments of quiet.
Thank God for work! And to think I get paid well to do this! If only they knew they would cut my salary in half because I would do this shit for free to get out of the house!
I like to believe that the wife is having lesbian fantasies about Tammy and one day it can lead to a three way with Gisele
lol kiper is such garbage.
And I'd like to see a 2012 equivalent for this year's draft, just to see how expectations changed from then to now.
Close enough, a mock from 4/29/12 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000...aft-uscs-barkley-woods-among-top-30-prospects Fuck yeah, Barkley @ #1!
Another one http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/...ley-headlines-a-class-that-already-looks-deep
I don't believe that.
Everyone knows that young Patriot fans are pale devils who spend most of their childhood playing dungeons and dragons in a cramped, dark basement when they are not praying directly to the devil.

Boys are fine until they are teenagers, then they're a stumbling bull raging with testosterone. I occasionally want to lock mine in his room.

I'm shocked Bob McGinn hasn't been poached by a bigger media outlet.
Wow, I didn't realize Bridgewater ran a 4.65, Impressive.

SNY has a nice article on Justin Pugh. Both the highs and the lows (lows being his play in the Senior Bowl).
http://snygiants.com/2013-nfl-draft/taking-a-deeper-look-at-giants-top-pick-justin-pugh/
Worth a read as it goes into detail about specific plays and his excellent run blocking abilities. I'll be shocked if he's not starting at RT for us this season.

Poor poor Timmy, just go be a motivational speaker.
Yeah man. Used to have a circle with an island in the middle where I'd prop up a radio listening to Red Sox games. This was when they had shitty players like Tom Brunansky and Danny Darwin and I'd listen to them lose to the Tigers where Tettleton would hit fucking bombs out of Tiger Stadium. Circles and culdesacs are the shit for being able to ride your bike and everything. I'd hate for my kid to grow up in the city and not be able to do that even if the city offers its own rewards.
Might as well give Harper some more roids and have him play WLB.
I think Walter Football did, can't remember. Definitely saw it multiple places though.
whatever works.
I feel really good about the Panthers draft even though they only had 5 picks. Didn't really reach for anyone except that guard in the 4th round, but he fills a need. The best part is we just took our medicine and didn't trade away any future picks. Step one of cleaning up the dumpster fire that was the last few years of the Hurney era.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
What is this craziness?
Stuff I did not know. Pretty astonishing that a dyslexic QB who doesn't know what Cover 3 is destroyed the Steelers in a playoff game. Also, fuck McDaniels
He and Richardson were the guys most often linked once everyone realized Mingo would be long gone

Favre had no idea either. He couldn't read a defense for shit, had no desire to learn how to do so and supposedly didn't even start trying until 2001's when he felt his arm was losing steam. There are some funny interviews where he is asked about coverages and he just goes yammering off on a tangent to try and cover it up.
That's really neat info. Thanks, ez. Certainly would explain all those Cowboys losses. God I hated the Cowboys and every year Favre would torture the good people of the world with his playoff games against them
I've also often thought this about Big Ben. So many plays he just dropped back and held the ball, held the ball, then scrambled and made it work as the plays broke down
I have also thought this.
"Improvises" seems to be code for "can't beat the defense at the snap."
