TOO EARLY TO WORRY?

It's only week 2 of the preseason but Saturday's game with the Bears causes me some concern about the offense....the WR position is giving me nightmares....still waiting for someone to step up....
While it is preseason...we should get more than 3 points, right?
This week's Jets Giant game should be interesting with Sanchez named the Jets starter...He looked very shaky....

PLAX COPS A PLEA...

Surprising news this morning that Plaxico Burrus will cop a plea and go to the big house for 2 years...not sure if he will have to serve the whole two years in jail, but that will take him off the field for the next two seasons for sure - he's sentenced Sept. 22...he'll still face some type of suspension from the NFL when he comes back...Rumors were he was going to go to trial as a way to delay a plea and play this season, but the plea bargain may have been the best thing for him at this point (He could have gotten 3 1/2 years minimum if found guilty at trial). After hearing Mr. McNabb talk about wanting him to join the Eagles - this comes a relief to Giants fans...
Now...let's see if we can find a replacement for him at WR?

WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?

Michael Vick signs with Philly....Man, some Philly fans are going nuts - you would think they would be excited about having a former Pro Bowler to back up McNabb...but, NOOOOOOOO.
I understand those who feel he got off easy, but folks, he's served his time...time for a second chance....
Let's see how this plays out...remember, it's a team option for 2010...they don't have to keep him if he proves to be too much of a distraction or not worth it.....

ELI'S CONTRACT...

I was a guest of the Mike Richards show this morning on 960 The Fan in Calgary...They were somewhat surprised at the numbers, but I wasn't....
Two things here...1) Eli brought the team to a Super Bowl and has been 'a good soldier' - that's what they got him for, and 2) The Giants want to make sure they keep him around in lieu of the Jets' #1 golden boy Mark Sanchez.
One other point...the Plax contract going bye-bye helps with the financials to a certain extent.
Eli got what he deserved...in my mind, it's the right thing for the G-Men to do....
