It hurts to talk about the Giants because it is my only team.
I love sports but the Giants make it infinitely more personal. Suffering through their losses over the years and getting silly happy over their wins was all good as we say today, but the stench rising from the camp now makes it hard to breathe . I have smelled it before coming out of Jacksonville awhile back.Then it was burning my nose hair before they hired Steve Spagnola from the Eagles to save their last Super season.
In between that odor offended many people, players in particular. Great athletes quit the game because they could not play and gag at the same time,Tiki Barber, Mike Strahan for two.Of course it contributed to injuries and loss of players through other residual effects that tossing your goodies could easily be connected to.
It has become a dark day as of late because the malodorous aroma has been totally difficult to ignore ..except by brown nosing friends and bigoted press .
To be blunt..The coach, Tom Coughlin, probably a good person, caring parent and family member, this is speculation, absolutely is “clueless ” as football coach and that is the source of that overwhelming odor that surrounds my team.
Who else would expose a injured player, Aaron Ross off of rehab to the kamikaze special teams on his first game back?..Who else would risk their franchise quarterback to injury again and again with idiotic transparent play calling? But,for the icing on the cake , keep his best runner, a true cannon on the bench.A player every other team in the league would commit an assault to get if they did not have to pay some penalty. A player who is being paid 25 million dollars to sit..He has done this before..He inflated another player to the detriment of his other players, owners, fans and thus producing a losing season,… and caused serious injuries to the “Cannonball”Brandon Jacobs and others by calling the wrong running plays and strategies .Oh, the inflated player is..Derrick Ward who is ….I don’t know where he is now but he got paid thanks to “Clueless Tom”.
If this seems personal about Tom Coughlin, It is! I think I said that before..
In conclusion, I always want the Giants to win and I have been wrong before. There are so many other”incidentals” it would seem a bit “bitchy” of me to whine on.
The Chicago Bears , today’s opponent, are good test..Ironically the Giants had a choice of Coach Lovie Smith when they chose Tom Coughlin. The Giants have great players , a legendary young GM in Jerry Reese. I hope for their sake Tomtom doesn’t take any one else with him when he goes.
