Grow up

Catch the Ball

Guys on Seattle I never heard of bailing out their QB

Wilson never put a ball on the numbers all day. Eli ripping it and they drop the ball right on their hands

Maybe they should take a boat ride and think about this

Back after this

The Fat Fuck can still bring it when he drops his resentments and bias

If Mike compares you to Jeremy Shockey, you're pretty much dead to him. I don't care a flip about this game, but he was so confident on Sunday morning. Kimberly Jones was on his show and she made it sound as if the Giants had already won. Love this stuff.

Not bad, but he only had a moment or two where he sounded mental. I think if this was the Jets, and OBJ played for them, he'd have taken it to the limit.

He is right on about Beckham having tons of apologists. He did not say, this time at least, that Coughlin should have sat on him last year.

No one cares about your're one handed catches BEFORE the game. Catch the ball DURING the game.

No one cares about taking your shirt off BEFORE the game.

"He's been coddled, spoiled, and wasn't even that good this year. Not as good as his reputation. One handed catches? You don't see him making catches in the Super Bowl or to win games because he hasn't done any of that stuff."

Yup. He's deep on the angry side now. This has legs.

There are no call-in defenders, by the way.

Coughlin is not walking through that door, Mike.

It's amazing to me. The offense was pretty bad all year. They were carried by their defense. The Giants haven't made the playoffs before this year since 2011. Some of that has to fall on Eli, doesn't it?
Eli, being the QB, leader, 2 Ring holder, elder statesman, etc., should in theory also be the guy who is supposed to keep Beckham in line and hold him responsible for drops. Nope, Mike blamed it all on the coach with Eli getting a free pass.

It's remarkable

A couple of my giant fan friends cannot stand Eli. They are thankful for the two Super Bowls but overall think he is a very average QB.

Only half listening, but I'm pretty sure Mike just confused George Karl with Jerry Sloan, to his face. Interested to see if callers get on him coming up.

Possible: Funhouse feed has reports of Mike getting his teams/games/situations mixed up today.

EDIT: confirmed, Deadspin and AA both picked up on it.

The end of the McAdoo interview was nauseating. Listening to him say "we know Coach we put that rumor to bed" and "we know that's not the way The Giants do business" just confirms his water carrying for the franchise. If that were the Jets or Pats he'd be all over that story.

Only heard it for 15 minutes this AM, but Boomer and Carton were really downplaying the incident, saying that social media was the source for all this disinformation, and that eyewitness and official reports didnt back up the rumors/scuttlebutt: doing actual damage to the cabin vs making a huge mess; the airline sending in a repair crew vs sending in an inadequate number of cleaning people. Also made the point that, to their knowledge, the NFL has prohibited alcohol on team flights, so it's not fair for anyone to imply over imbibement was an issue.

I don't really get why fans would care if their team lost and then trashed the plane. If my team did that, at least I'd think they cared about losing the game. I didn't know there was "A Giants Way."

Mike is trashing the Chargers move

You don’t need municipalities in this day and age where they can’t even pay for the pensions of their workers in most of these cities. You don’t need them making the NFL richer.

So the idea that the NFL should ever, when they use a stadium 10 to 12 times a season, that they should ever, ever, act like they have the right to dip into a city’s coffers for a dime is a disgrace. It’s an utter disgrace. There should be laws against it. That’s how outrageous it is.

The Giants Way is to sign the classiest spousal abuser to be your kicker and then toss him under the bus when there's too much blowback

Leave to Mike to shit on Brady and praise Peyton Manning all in one sentence after another record breaking win for the Pats last night. His bias knows no bounds.

I had to shut off Francesa. “People want to call NE a dynasty, but if it wasn’t for a brain lock by the Seattle coaches, the Pats wouldn’t have won a title in 11 years.”

Yes, and if the refs called holding on the helmet catch, the Pats have an undefeated season.

And if Gronk were healthy for the SB in 2011, Brady is 6 for 6 in Super Bowls.

Not to mention, THE PATS COULD HAVE STUFFED LYNCH ON A RUSHING ATTEMPT AND THE GAME WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER!

Or Wilson could have fumbled the snap, or Lynch the exchange, or a myriad other things that might have made a rushing attempt there fail. It’s fine to say Carroll was dumb to pass there but you can’t just award Seattle a TD and a title on spec if they ran instead of passed on the play.
