If We Only Knew....
I think this was taken in 2007. At the time, I would have thought that was an "I'm so uncomfortable being around all of these girls" smile.

Big Blue Splash
We've been taking a hiatus from the site until our lives slow down and we're able to bring it back to its former glory. But, I had to break our silence for this...
This is EXACTLY what the Giants needed. There literally could not be a more perfect fit for this team. This is a defense that gave up over 30 points 7 times last season, and over 40 points 5 times (in a schedule that featured both the NFC and AFC west divisions). In fact, you could argue that all of the Giants shortcomings last year boiled down to one major problem: they couldn't protect the middle of the field. That problem has been solved. The return of Kenny Phillips from injury was already a hugely positive step. However, the addition of Antrel Rolle will completely transform this secondary. This is not simply a talented young safety. This is one of the premeire safeties in the NFL. Don't think so? Take a look:
What other guys can make plays like this? Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu,.......and that's it.
The Giants still have what it takes. The pieces are there, and I'm glad to see they're still going full steam ahead despite last season's disappointments.
Also, while we're talking NFL, I can't help but scratch my head at some of the moves the Bears made yesterday. Sure, three great additions. Yes, of course you get Julius Peppers if you have the chance. But, have they already overdone it? They've signed three free agents already, and there is still one HUGE GLARING HOLE that they have failed to address.
