Please be well, not just for your sake but also for ours. It's a widely shared sentiment as you can see. All the best.

Cheers!

Masters degree Colunbia University,  fastest time South Carolina Pro Day  4.27, squats 700 Lbs and had the most reps of any RB with the barbell.....not your average RB.  Five foot 5, 200 lbs

Lets go Dante or as they call you "Turbo"

I hope they give him a shot

With or without a prescription, I could not help but root for a fellow Columbia Lion.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Former Columbia football running back Dante Miller '22CC agreed to terms with the New York Giants, pending a physical, the team announced Friday. Miller becomes the first Lion to ink an NFL deal since punter Cameron Nizialek '17CC signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2022.
 
A first-team All-Ivy League selection in 2021, Miller rushed for 1,281 yards on 258 carries with six touchdowns, including a career-long run of 83 yards (sixth-longest rush in school history) during his stint with Columbia. Upon graduation, he ranked ninth in career rushing yards (1,281), fourth in yards per carry (5.0), and seventh in rushing yards per game (49.3) in Columbia history.
 
After exhausting his Ivy League eligibility, the native of Rockingham, North Carolina, joined the University of South Carolina as a graduate transfer. Miller saw action in in six games, rushing for 38 yards on six carries and contributing on special teams.
 
Miller turned heads at South Carolina's pro day, running the 40-yard dash in 4.27 seconds to garner the attention of NFL scouts. Due to NCAA Compliance and NFL rules, he was ruled ineligible for the NFL Draft and allowed to sign with a team as a free agent.

With or without Kool-Aid, that's the way it should be for all Giants fans at this point whether or not we concur in all items. For example:

3. This season is a final referendum on Daniel Jones and no one else. His and the Giants immediate future- perhaps also that of current management- will require a lot more than just solid QB play for reasons all too obvious.

4. Blaming Ronnie Barnes for the Giants injury history is self-indulgent and vacuous nonsense.

Even assuming Ronnie Barnes won't have crippled their chances, as he has so often with DJ rather than with Eli, I think it's premature to predict a return to the Playoffs although I am always hopeful, and very much looking forward not backward.

Cheers! 

There were better ways for both sides to have handled it. In any case, no biggie! Except, apparently, for insurance salesman Kyle Lauletta, who 5 years ago, Gettleman wrongly guessed might be worth more than 5 pass attempts for 0 yards and a pick, and I don't just mean The Pick he wasted in the 4th Round. 

Cheers!

Quote from: Ed Vette on May 17, 2024, 07:24:52 PMCall it as you wish, but I'm following this draft class that many pundits have crapped upon or hyped. It's the most interesting Draft class since 2004. You know where my chips are placed.

I know I must be missing something. But at this point, I can't see it being done except from the top of Mt. Everest in terms of any imputed relevance. Okay! I'll shut up.

Cheers!

Quote from: Ed Vette on May 17, 2024, 10:23:09 AMThe article is. We can go back to the DJ Tug Of War.

Yeah, sure! Aside from the fact that at this point, and for who knows when it might be otherwise, all such speculation is bootless. Is that not something we might at least wish to acknowledge out of a sense of propriety? Are there not more sensible rabbit holes for us to go spelunking? Good gosh! 

Cheers!

We are ready to make comparisons and draw conclusions based on a couple of days of Rookie Minicamp? Say it ain't so. Pleeease!

Cheers!

Golly!! You mean we have a choice? 'Cause if so, I'd prefer something more like the Canton Bulldogs.

Cheers!

That ugly looking livery is before my time, which is remarkable in itself. But then, I'm kinda remarkable all by myself.   In any case, it's nothing like the red jersey I remember. Indeed, I wouldn't even call it a "red" uni.

And by the way, did someone make a mistake in including No.8 whatisname in that picture?

Quote from: uconnjack8 on May 14, 2024, 05:59:33 PMDo you see McFadden as a good fit for this system?

Given what we saw of his play last season, which was a breath of fresh air in a dyspnea of a Defense, I can't but think of him as a good fit. I quite clearly recall that even as rookie, he was one of the few Giants Defenders who seemed engaged and effective in those otherwise early debacles against the Cows and Niners.

Moreover, as he has previously been rated as an above average Pass Defender from the LB position, there is all the more reason to feel positive about his "fit" in Bowen's scheme. Quite frankly, as I saw it, the only thing that kept McFadden from greater appreciation was the excellent performance of Okereke in Wink's otherwise shitty Defense as it was even well before the Williams trade.

Cheers!

Quote from: LennG on May 15, 2024, 08:46:49 PMNot to veer off the topic, but it still pisses me off to no end that those Cowpukes are always home on Thanksgiving. They wormed their way into this. I couldn't care less that they play on Thanksgiving, but they shouldn't always have a home game.

C'mon, Lenn. They're "America's Team". You know that gets them special treatment. It's not a matter of whether or not it's deserved; not when we see how the single worst sonofabitch in the country is still be pandered shamelessly.

Cheers!

Fools rush in where...never mind... we dance to whomever plays the pipe. And not just in matters of "sport".

Cheers!

As we seem to feel a need to impute some sort of message- although not at all subliminal given Pat Leonard's chain jerking addendum- re the Giants first ever game to be played in Deutschland, we might take consolation in that Daniel Jones's absence from the image pictured might be sufficient to satisfy the haters and baters amongst us. But then, who am I trying to kid?

Cheers!

Quote from: Ed Vette on May 14, 2024, 12:32:45 PMI hope it doesn't take three games to get up to speed.

It shouldn't be much of a challenge for them to give up less than the 98 total points they did in their first 3 games last year. But then that may be just the optimist inside of me talking. 

Cheers!

I agree with your disagrees, Ed.

Cheers!
