Giants History / Re: Frank Gifford has died

May he rest in peace! He was a beautiful young man! And I think his way of passing was great too, quickly and quietly at home!

Uh so running backs aren't a fit for our philosophy but wide receivers are?? Little confused as to why no RB was bolded, lol

I think Ceri just doesn't think we should consider a RB in round one, this was limited to that round.

Great report for a guy who didn't have the time!!  I hope we get one of your faves Ceri, thanks for these reports.

Sounds very bad for him, like he is so addicted he couldn't go a week or two witrhout it. And reading the comments on the reporting website, it seems there are a LOT of marijuana addicts out there, justifying it's use.

Thanks Ceri,
A lot for me to enjoy looking at. I like the size of all these guys as I don't like tall RB's.

BBH Archive / It's raining already
January 01, 2012, 06:12:40 PM
Temps still in upper 40's but raining. NOAA forecast says it will get cold too.

"Tonight: Showers likely, mainly before midnight. Cloudy, then gradually becoming partly cloudy, with a low around 34. South wind 9 to 15 mph becoming west. Winds could gust as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible."

Run the ball well, stop the run...make some passing plays...pray...

The only one I saw, that I noticed seeing, was Marecic. He played linebacker that day and had a pick 6. I don't think the Giants will want him early enough to get him...he seems like a luxury item for us.
And thanks again Ceri..really fun to read your stuff "whilst" sipping a pint.

Thank you for sharing this Ceri. I'll trust the Giants to do a good job on the O line for us.

'Ya know, I'm getting bombarded by multimedia sources with campaign ads. ROBO phone calls ( they're allowed), mailboxes (digital and physical) packed, Television commercials ( They approved this crap ?) radio and billions of roadside signs...and more.
Funny (not really) thing is, they all stink (almost) since they don't address issues of import. My overriding thought in most (not all) cases...IS THIS THE BEST AMERICA HAS TO OFFER?
Thank you for listening...send all contributions in cash to PO box XXXX.
I approve of this message!

Giants History / Taxi squad question
September 15, 2009, 04:30:06 PM
I was thinking about what to do about Danny Ware and hating to part with anyone on the roster, which led to the idea of "hiding" someone. In the old days there was talk of teams stashing players to keep them for themselves and I wondered if it could still be done. If the plkayer wished to stay with his team, he could become unavailable for contact until he was reinstated. What do you think?

Does this seem to be true as the origin of the term?


"From the Wikipedia Entry on Arthur B. "Mickey" McBride, founder on the Cleveland Browns.... reference the 4th paragraph below:

Arthur B. "Mickey" McBride (20 March 1888-10 November 1972) was the founder of the Cleveland Browns professional football team. McBride was a wealthy businessman who made a fortune investing in and operating real estate holdings in Chicago, Cleveland and Florida, in taxicab companies in Cleveland, Akron and Canton, Ohio, in a printing company, and in a horse-racing news wire syndicate, before taking an interest in the fledgling sport of professional football.

McBride became a rabid football fan in 1940 after taking in a college football game at the University of Notre Dame where McBride's son was a student. After Dan Reeves rejected his 1942 offer to buy the NFL's Cleveland Rams, in 1944 McBride became involved in Arch Ward's newly created All-America Football Conference.

McBride aggressively promoted his new team and spared no expense. He hired Paul Brown when Brown was still coaching at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station during World War II, paying Brown $20,000 per year plus 15% of the profits, plus $1,000 per month until the end of the war.

McBride contributed to the lexicon of football with the term "taxi squad." Browns' players who were not on the active roster, due to injury or other reason, were temporarily put on the McBride's payroll as taxi drivers."
