So in football news, Giants started their OTA's today.
1st team Linebackers: Mark Herzlich, Spencer Paysinger and Keith Rivers (Herzlich in the middle)
2nd team Linebackers: Dan Connor, Aaron Curry and Jacquain Williams (Connor in the middle)
I do believe the Giants now take the crown for the worst group of linebackers in the league.
David Diehl opened at RT with James Brewer at RG but that's mainly because Snee is still recovering from hip surgery. Pugh isn't signed either so can't participate, yet.
Oh and:

Not sure where you read that, but there's a power brick.

So it's not bad that Aaron Curry is the only name I recognize there?
What's your point?
Ill adjust my recommendations accordingly. Animal Crossing is probably right up your alley
How have you not heard of Herzlich? Dude had cancer, bro. Cancer.
Give him a break. He's a Packers fan, to him Herzlich is just another faceless person in the huge crowd of cancer patients Rodgers has spat on.
You should have heard of Keith Rivers, but the giants linebacking corps was always super crappy.

I blame The Giants fans here because as much as you all talk about your team's defense, I'm only highly aware of your secondary and D-Line!
Paysinger was featured with the Oregon D for the past few years. Herzlich (BC), Rivers (USC), Connor (PSU) and Curry (WF) were college stars.
Too bad none of them have shown anything at the pro level, but it seems like Coughlin always rides with mediocre linebackers.
Only Denver and Minnesota showed interest, right?
I will not miss his douchey, non-child support paying self.
I read something this morning that a backstage demo with the cable box functionality was with a DirecTV receiver. You can already plug in your fantasy team and get updates with DTV, so I could some partnership with MS, DTV, and the NFL announced at a later date. The only thing that matters is getting ST on the XBOX w/o a DTV subscription, and I just can't see DTV giving that up.
MS is just after their brand being at NFL games. If you think of how many times the TV shows coaches on the sideline, that a pretty nice slice of promotion to have them all holding heavily branded Surface tablets

I'll miss how his hands always honed onto the breast football.
Will they also show those Surface Pros running out of battery during OT games?
Now I just hurt myself :-(

Isn't he the guy from those DirectTV adverts?
Hope Hynoski is okay. Underrated FB. If it's serious they'll look into FA as I suspect they won't rely on Pascoe as a full time FB.Oh and:

Ah, the NY Giants 2013 season has begun!
EDIT:
Looks like Hakeem Nicks skipped practice today and Coughlin wasn't none to happy about it either.
OTAs don't matter, but they aren't meaningless. People get dismissive of offseason stuff and preseason, but there are things to pay attention to

The Hynosaurus better be alright, we need him.
lol it looks like he got his finger stick and can't get it out.

Yep. OTA's aren't mandatory either so Nicks skipping a day technically isn't to be held against him. Apparently he was at a charity event in the city last night. Too much drink, Hakeem!
I fully expect Webster to suck at much the same level he did last year. I'll be pleasantly surprised if he doesn't. The fact that we're not paying him that obscene salary makes it easier to digest.

OTAs sound like that part of the work day between 4pm and 6pm where you pretend to be busy for brownie points instead of cutting out early.

They matter for rookies and young players. The Rams are the only team not doing a the mandatory mini-camp. Fisher thinks the vets don't need them. But the do have a "rookie week" instead

Are OTAs where they do a back to basics kind of program? I remember hearing rumblings about that since so many players especially on defense like to hit a player down instead of wrapping up and tackling.
I know back in the day, Vince Lombardi started every summer with the basics regardless of how long they've played.

No pads, so no tackling drills.
OTAs is essentially a back to basics program, most the vets skip out on it since they're not mandatory. But for rookies and UDFAs, its basically their tryouts. You have your OTA and training camp stars though that don't produce shit on the field.

I can't stress enough that this isn't the 360 vs PS3 debate all over again. Sony's hardware advantage is easily exploitable this round.
AnandTech has his PS4 vs xU up

Yeah the DF stuff was pretty damning to be honest. MS will have to come up with some really good games to combat the difference for the core gamer. Thanks for the link.
It's going to come down to 3rd parties exploiting that. It seems like relatively low hanging fruit, so I expect most will

Ouch. They better hope Patton is ready to contribute as a rook...

The Anandtech article states the obvious though:
If Microsoft remains in the drivers seat this next generation, all of that added power will be meaningless for Sony outside of first party titles which is the exact situation you have today. Developers will develop to the strengths of the top system.
Ugh. That sucks.
Hate to see that shit happen before training camp even starts.Lee Chaolan

b/c the PS3's advantage wasn't low hanging. These are the same machines, only one has a better CPU, GPU, and Ram
fmt! Post if you're ok!
The smart devs will simply scale their engines. If they make a pc version, it should be similar, but easier, because the h/w is a known commodity. It could certainly mean that most multi-plat games will look better on the PS4.

So now Microsoft doesnt even know what its policies are.
That sucks.
