So Aaron Hernandez is being investigated in a murder case, and TMZ (who despite their assiness are pretty accurate with stories) claims he also pulled a gun on someone earlier this year.
Gronk seems to have an issue with booze and leaving his clothes on.
So THIS is why they brought Tebow in! It made zero sense to me but now it all fits...he's there to cleanse the team!
Bring some light and the power of christ to detox all these demons.
But who will exorcise them of Big Bill and Bob Kraft is the real question!?  |

Putin probably did, that's Russia for you...just taking stuff!
Kraft should just let it go...wouldn't want a nasty surprise in his clam chowder.
The Cruz saga, temporarily, is subdued.
signed the 1 year deal, 2.87 mill
Hopefully he'll just play and leave this stuff for a year. He seems like a good guy, (as in it wont affect him) but who knows.
I have mad respect for his playmaking beastliness but cmon Vic just take the $8 mill a year deal!

Robert Kraft is claiming Putin stole his Super Bowl ring. I find it ironic that Robert Kraft is complaining about a stolen Super Bowl ring.

I thought I read he had some sort of hip injury (or maybe hernia?) sustained at some point in the year. Which would obviously effect him, if that was indeed the case.
Or he just over the edge.

Yeah, they signed David Akers to replace him. I just hope the David Akers of Philly was signed and not the Niners version. Could be seeing the Lions going for it on 4th down a lot this season.

Further news from the giants camp...
Blackburn signed with the Panthers and Osi has sign with the Falcons. Osi's news is by no means a surprise but I didn't expect Blackburn to go anywhere.

That is sad news.
Though it's better than Webster whose still taking like 3 mil to let receivers run wide open. But nevertheless...don't the giants watch tape...sigh.
Hopefully it's the last year of his contract and next year will be the one.

I'm sorry to hear you put yourself through that. 
As for the rest...agreed. Certainly better than the comparative peanuts he was making last year. He is certainly a big part of the offense, but still...the nfl as a whole doesn't seem to value slot receives all that high...hopefully he will reconsider and just accept the damn thing.
And the giants will continue to be the enigma we both love and hate.

I've not heard any numbers from the Cruz camp, not even a crazy possible maybe rumor. And I listen to both the morning show with Boomer & Carton and the afternoon block with Francessa so I dont miss sh*t! Agreed. At first I thought: Great deal but it is a tad low considering his skill set, but thinking about he IS an undrafted player, with only 2 years experience, and possible injury risk/not very physical. And while he can be a "normal" receiver he's best at just running 20 yards+ deep and getting open, and Eli rarely misses him, not many teams can work like that. Edit: Considering the horrible skid they hit in '12 I'd also question if even the Giants can work like that

Victor Cruz offered, reportedly, $30 mill over 4 years.
12 mill guaranteed.
Now, obviously the fan in me/person who makes a crap living would jump head first into $7.5 million a year/a guaranteed 12 million bucks.
But he feels different, at least as of now he's refused.
On one hand, in terms of pure skill I think he's a top 5 receiver. Deep threat supreme, great route running, good hands, can make crazy things happen in space. Guess it's natural for him to hold out for more but no one is offering more/giving up a first rounder. Cmon Victor....$7+ mill beats $500k big time!

Thank god for restricted tags and Amendola. And at TE? I don't know. Is Pascoe a TE? He still may be there. At least, I haven't heard he was released.

Cruz to the Pats, oh god! Though he'd no longer be a deep threat at least, since past 10 yards for Brady = only for hail marys Yeah I know the name so he must be solid at least...and we have like no TEs...who the hell do we even have??

I'll call this favorable because he was decent at the end of the year on abysmal team. Put him on a good team and perhaps he'll blossom. And we need a tight end so...
Yeah. I've heard no nibbles yet on Cruz. I think once the first few days on FA passed it was probably unlikely. Though, when Wes went to the broncos I was afraid the Pats might start sniffing around.

Classic G Men, lots of little moves. They generally work out great but we're all in suspense over the Cruz issue!
I heard from Mike Francessa that it's been very very rare for restricted free agents to be picked up. So it seems unlikely he'll leave the Giants but really hope they just get that thing settled.

G-Men sign TE Meyer (from the raiders).

Genesis is pretty good, unlike the Jets who seem to be entering another circus of a season : D
Wes Welker to the Broncos. Hm, well let's see how he does in a different system!
Still very short pass granted but this is Peyton we're talking about and not Tom
