Loading ...On Tuesday, the New York Giants announced that they have terminated the contract of offensive linemen Stephen Goodin, and signed wideout Brandon Collins to the practice squad. The team made the move just a day before the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. While neither of the aforementioned players will dress for tonight's game, this is an intriguing move given the Giants just cut Brandon Collins last week, while keeping Stephen Goodin.
Goodin, who was just named to the Giants practice squad on Saturday, is a Nebraska-Kearney product that was signed by Big Blue this past April. Although he showed some promise in early spring practices, the Giants younger offensive linemen as a whole struggled mightily in training camp and throughout the preseason.
Brandon Collins is an interesting prospect that while he has some potential, has now shown it yet. Collins did not record a catch in any of the team's first three preseason games. Collins started his college career at Texas, but was kicked off the team due to legal issues, and went on to become an undrafted free agent out of Southeast Louisiana.
The Giants will keep making miscellaneous moves on the practice squad throughout the season. Whether it be that the team wants a certain player to run the scout team for a certain week, or they find someone who may have potential, expect to see a lot of action this season in terms of practice squad transactions. In fact, Ryan Perriloux was cut and re-signed nearly 20 times last year, so this is nothing nothing new for the Giants.

Here’s the question.
Do I wear my Eli jersey (always reliable), Nicks (beautiful authentic jersey that I can finally fit into after losing 20 pounds), or my Cruz jersey (wore it from Xmas Eve, through the playoffs and the Super Bowl. 6-0).
I’m going with Nicks tonight. My LT jersey has never failed me, as the team has won everygame I’ve worn it to (save for one preseason matchup). However, I feel like Hakeem is going to have a good one tonight.
I started wearing my JPP jersey X-Mas Eve (was at the game) myself. I think you gotta stick with the Cruz jersey until they lose.

I think this is the most talented Giant’s team in a few decades. As we know ant thing can happen but if you can’t be excited for this year then I don’t know what to say. We debate about many micro items and while there are some legit concerns I think there is universal belief in this year’s team chances on winning the SB like I haven’t seen before.
It’s amazing the confidence we have when our defense may be missing 3-4 starters and that’s not even including TT. This illustrates the depth of our defense. This is a great sign going forward because everyone will return except TT. Even those that question aspects like our OL or 3rd WR understand we still have Eli and he can almost get us by those issues on his own. We also have a ton of young players from the past 3 years that will play vital roles to this team succeding. Let’s just say I “can’t wait.”

PREDICTION
This has 2008 written all over it, minus hopefully the Plaxico Burress shooting. That year, the Giants off what some thought was a fluky championship rode a wave of confidence to an 11-1 start. They were only 9-7 in the regular season last year, but they found their footing late and the 6-0 Super Bowl run was no fluke. They believe they’re good now and they’ll show it by going 11-5, winning the division, and making another Super Bowl run.

Fanboys … gotta love ‘em. We win the Superbowl every year.
While ff55 has been busy hammering out his real estate deal I have been hunkered down on the phone with my broker, frantically trying to increase my stock position in Fire Killdrive Lines, Inc.
I’m anticipating a huge spike in the stock price tomorrow based on the avalanche of ticket sales that’s going to start sometime toward the end of the first quarter tonight. That’s shortly around the time that the Giants offense will be trudging off the field following its third consecutive three and out – the third straight series wasted by Killdrive in his stubborn but futile attempts to “establish the run.”
I only hope that my man Dirt, the current CEO of Fire Killdrive Lines, Inc., has prepared for tonight’s onslaught of ticket requests by hiring at least 25 additonal operators to answer the phones.
Aint happening we will establish the run! Book it stock prices will fall dramatically
Game Day.
Can’t believe we’re here already.
Let’s defend that title Anderson Silva style!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Repost – Jeez Dan , Im typing and you put up two articles ?
Skip Bayliss – “I got nothing ” even the Biggest Dallas homie on ESPN picks the Giants . At the same time Eric Mangini was giving his scenario of how the Cowboys could win tonight and then he went on to pick DALLAS TO WIN THE SUPERBOWL . No wonder hes not a coach anymore with his obvious lack of touch with reality . But hey it did provide a laugh
I cant wait – FF55Y – Really man , get your priorities straight -its the first Giants game of the season and you are conducting business ? Seriously though good luck with that , wrap it up early and get to the serious stuff .
I also have a brand new shirt which I have been saving ( I had a new one for preseason but that goes ) and I will not wash it while the Giants win – it may be pretty ripe by Decemeber !
I noticed on the Dallas injury report that Jerruh has been added with what’s being described as a “facelift malfunction.” Seems his nip has come untucked.
I hope for the sake of the NBC producers and camera crews that Jerruh can get it taken care of in time for tonight’s game. Cameos of Jerruh in the luxury suite typically account for 15-20% of the screen time of every televised Cowboys game. That would be a big hole to fill were he not there tonight.
A highly entertaining read:

A random sampling:
One of the side-effects of winning multiple Super Bowls in a short span is that your team gets the vomitous “Does Things the Right Way” label. The franchise becomes a glowing beacon of all that is good and righteous with the sport. The actual reasons for the team’s success (good drafting, B to B+ coaching, Pro Bowl QB) becomes heart, toughness and organizational integrity. Having gritty (slow, white) Chase Blackburn start in the Super Bowl because of lack of depth at LB is no longer an error, it becomes inspired! (Did you see him leap 6 inches for that INT! What a play!) Miscreants like Burress and Shockey who were dumped for being washed up, are retroactively released because of their character issues. Of course, this is all fantastical bullsh!t. Because if Eli were to wake up with a dead h–ker in his bed tomorrow, Jerry Reese and company would be dumping her in the swamps long before they’d think of cutting him.
Going to a Super Bowl is usually a cue for the Giants to spend the next season wading in knee-deep sh!t. This is not a franchise that tolerates success for very long. It’s now time for them to sink down to 8-8, get Eli killed thanks to horrible line play (featuring Gregggg Easterbrook’s league MVP David Diehl, who gave up only 13 sacks last season!), try in vain to work Martellus Bennett into the offense (he’s not very good), and bring Tom Coughlin right to the very edge of not getting a contract extension. You people can’t fool me. I’ve got the pattern down now.
Look around the stadium when the Giants score a touchdown. You’ll see stock brokers who suddenly turn into ghetto princes as they bump chests and chant dumb sh!t like “Yea SON! Yea BOYEE!” The guy who was 5 seconds ago crying for Eli Manning to be replaced by every former QB in history back to fvkking Kent Graham is now nodding his head and clapping like a **** while saying: “Atta boy. Dere ya go. Dere ya go.” That’s if you even know there’s been a touchdown, since 50% of the stadium is filled with 85 year old pepaws that need a defibrillator to show signs of life.
And my own personal favorite:
The Giants offense only works fluently during the two-minute warning. Why? Because that’s the only time of the game Eli calls his own plays.
Fvck you Gilbride. You look like a failed, alcoholic Canadian shoe salesman.
