SERIOUSLY... no Seriously...... Geno Smith!!!! Geno "Howard the Duck' Smith.... No disrespect Geno but come on we all know what you are and what Eli Manning is.
Let me start off by saying I despise the Giants. Growing up a Jets Fan and eventually converting to the Saints their are only 3 things I liked about the Giants... when they lose, when they beat the Patriots and Eli Manning.
I'm no dummy. I know Eli is having an awful year... but in all fairness, who isn/t having an awful year on a 2-9 Giant Team. Wanting to see young QB's to evaluate the future of the position is fair and in the end can not be argued with since it is for the best of the team. But that evaluation should be done n=by a coach and general manager that will be with the team next year. And an evaluation is not what's happening here.
Ben McaDope has been successful in making the people in NY think that the Rich Kotite "Jet year" of 1-15 wasn't to bad... that's damn impressive. Every where he turns he makes an awful decision. He was afraid to reprimand his "Diva Wide Receiva" ODB, but whenever he could, took at shot at his 2 time superbowl winning and 2 time superbowl MVP QB. His season went to hell in a hand basket and someone needed to take the fall so instead of saying he needed to do a better job as coach he benched his QB. A QB that is the backbone of this team, a QB that 2 days ago said on the radio he is playing to win every day and playing for peoples jobs. A QB that never threw you under the bus even though you did on a bi-weekly basis. The cold, matter of fact way you decided to go about announcing this decision, with no remorse, no emotion is sickening. I felt bad for Eli listening to you say the garbage reasons you did for the decision you made... you fail in all aspects of Football.... PIT OF MISERY!!!
Jerry "Dumbass" Reese.... So you go into a season knowing you have an immobile QB who needs to stand in the pocket and throw the ball to be successful and you do nothing to fix what every knew was one of the worst offensive lines in the game and did nothing to improve the worst running game in the league. Your Job as a general Manager is to assess your team and build it by putting that team in the best position to win. You failed as well.... PIT OF MISERY!!!
John Mara, The entire Mara and Tish Family that is involved with football decisions in any way. Shame on you. SHAME ON YOU ALL. in the end this all falls on you. McaDope can say he wants to change the QB to "evaluate talent" Reese could agree with him... but in the end it is your job, as the owner of what I have been told (but can't see) to be a classy franchise to say "This is not how Eli Manning's Story is going to end In NY Guys, No Dice. Talk to me in the off season about releasing him and we can look at our options then". You see that's what your Father Wellington would have done. Actually, that's what he did when he stood up on the podium, crying when he let everyone know Phil Simms was no long going to be a Giant. In the end none of this would come to be if you had a quarter of the heart your father did. Shame on you... PIT OF MISERY!!!
Eli's time in NY was coming to an end. We can all agree on that but this is a guy that has done so much for this franchise. He has came out for 210 games strait, hurt, knowing he was going to get hit, knowing he was could win, knowing he was could lose, it didn't matter. He came out to win the game in front of him and he did it with class, dignity and to the best of his ability (which was pretty good). Lets not make Eli out to be the best QB to ever play the game, but he was the best QB to ever play for the Giants and deserved some respect when being shown the door. His streak deserved some respect as well. I personally hope he keeps playing. I know Jaxonvlle would be an even more dangerous team if they had a real QB on that team, his REAL head coach is calling the shots there and I would love to see Eli step on Tom Brady's Soul on his way to another superbowl appearance. Dilly Dilly to you Eli. Well deserved and thanks for giving me something on the Giants to not completely hate....
P.S. For the record (cause I got into this argument a few weeks ago) Eli is NOT better than Drew Brees. I don't care if he does have one more ring. Dilly Dilly!!!

No really....Citizen of the Year
How and the Hell does Colin Kaepernick with "citizen of the year"? First let me get to this title. I am not familiar with GQ's protocol... have they always done a citizen of the year? was it man and woman of the year first and they just decided that for some reason that was too expensive or somehow insulting so they combined it? do they still do an man of the year, woman of the year and then a citizen of the year? I don't get it. But what I do get is that Gonzo... aka Kaepernick is NOT the Citizen of the year.
I'm sure you have all seen the posts and I usually don't jump on a popular opinion but when the people are right, they are right... Citizen of the damn year is JJ Watt. Hands Down. Guy took has platform and instead of dividing the country, decided to so something that unit it in a time a tragedy. He asked the American people for help. Help with the devastating disaster that Hurricane Harvey had caused to the Houston Area.
JJ Wanted to Raise 500,000 hoping that people would be generous enough to open their hearts and their wallets with the assistance of the rebuilding efforts to the Houston Area... an area that he plays for and an area he has grown to love. When all was said and done JJ Watt raised 37 Million Dollars for Disaster Relief efforts to that area of Houston.
Why is that so important not only to the Houston area but to the entire country? Houston was not the only area devastated from natural disasters this year. Florida and Puerto Rico were hit hard with Hurricanes, and California dealt with week long wild fires that left people without homes. FEMA (the governments natural disaster relief division... in case you live under a rock) is spread thin with so many disasters happening around the same time. This money assisted with FEMA being able to distribute its budgeted money to the other areas of need (like Puerto Rico that wants Billions of dollars to fix the entire country... don't get me started).
Kaepernick hasn't played football all year.... hasn't kneeled down all year.... hasn't been relevant until the President decided to weigh in and everyone turned his protest into a "I hate the president, he can't tell me what to do so I will do what he is telling me not to" protest. It's pretty pathetic that GQ needs publicity so bad that this is how they are going about it
If you're not going to give the citizen of the year to JJ maybe you should look at his teammate, Deshaun Watson. Rookie QB of the team just recently torn his MCL and is out for the year. Was going to win rookie of the year. Before he even got to start a game. He donated his entire first Paycheck to the cafeteria workers that serve them that were affected by Hurricane Harvey. Kid is right out of college and the first paycheck he receives that finally gets him PAID, he gives the entire thing away. Dilly Dilly!!!! JJ Watt, Dilly Dilly!!!! Deshaun Watson.... pit of misery for Colin Keapernick

Getting "Buck Showaltered" is now a thing!
Hey everyone... long time no Rant.... sorry After the Yankees lost I was pissed I didn't want to say anything that I would regret (Go suck an egg Altuve). But the Yankees decided to "Part Ways" with Joe Girardi and I was speechless. Yep I said that... No idea why they would let go of a guy that came 1 win from going to the world series with a team that wasn't supposed to win more than 83 games.
I guess the Yankees thought that they had gone as far as they could with Girardi, or that 10 years was long enough and it was time to move on... or that he was too "robotic" and they wanted someone that was a little friendlier with the players, I don't Know. All I know is that I have seen this before. In 1995 the Yankees were the first winner of the AL Wild Card and played in a playoff game for the first time since 1981. Buck Showalter was the manager. He had managed the Yankees for the past 4 years. He had taken them from a dysfunctional laughing stock to a respectable playoff contender. They lost that one game playoff and Buck was let go. It was shocking and unexpected. No one knew why since the Yankees looked primed to be a playoff contender for years to come.
Within the next few weeks they hired Joe Torre, won 4 World Series Titles and in the next 12 years was in the playoffs every year under Mr. T. Buck went on to be the first coach of the Arizona Diamond backs. He was fired the year before they won the World Series too. Then he moved onto to Texas Rangers.... they made (but lost) the World Series 2 years after he left. The term "Being Buck Showaltered" was born. Fire a guy right before you go on a championship run. Girardi was just Buck Showaltered.
We can't predict if the Yankees will win anything the next few years... injuries happen, people do not hit or pitch like they did the year before. All this is true but we all can see the Yankees have a lot of YOUNG Talent and when you have Young Talent yo are usually pretty good for a number of years.
So who will be the next Yankee manager? No one knows. Looks like they want a puppet that will go by the numbers, listen to the front office and do as told. A Younger manager that is more "relatable" to the younger player and less 'Robotic" Kevin Long, Aaron Boone, Rob Thomson, Al Pedrique (Current AAA Manger) and John Flarhety have all come up. Jerry Harriston Jr. has been said to be a front runner too. They have the a guy that is everything I just mentioned but he is too hatted by the organization and polarizing a character for them to admit and hire....... Alex Rodriguez!
Yeah that's right, Good Old AROD. Oh stop your eye rolling and "hes a cheater" crap. If anyone has paid attention to him as an announcer you will know that he is very well prepared, knowledgeable and baseball smart. Like him or not he is one of the reasons DiDi, Castro, and Sanchez are hitting well at the big league level... When Sanchez was benched this year cause he couldn't catch a cold and also wasn't hitting, who did they call to have diner with him and discuss hitting... ARod. What did he do after that.. nothing but bat .320, with 20 or so HR's and like 50 more RBI's.. no biggie. Hes not a robot like Girardi. He's player friendly. He works off of the "analynics" as you will see from his announcing stats he pulls out and like him or not, he still considers himself a Yankee. Biggest knock on ARod the Announcer is he says "we" whenever he mentions the Yankees. When asked he said he could never not consider himself part of the Yankees.
ARod should be your next Yankee Manager, but he won't be... cause they hate him. They screwed him out the door and they won't give him a chance to do what he will eventually be doing anyway, Managing the game he loved so much he cheated even when he didn't need to just to be the best. Thing is he would have been great even without the junk. He is a terrific student of the game and has more knowledge about baseball then most of us could ever dream of. I'm rooting for you AROD... DILLY DILLY
