Rich is working on it with Tim. It could go down again until they find the cause.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on March 15, 2024, 08:03:34 PMBredeson was on the Ravens before he played for us. Call me crazy, but they seem to be a pretty smart team with a top notch front office. If Bredeson were some big time talent, my guess is they wouldn't have let him get away in the first place.

I don't think Bredeson stinks. I think he's a so-so, mediocre player. The Giants (I hope at least) are trying to get upgrades to mediocre players.

He was the second best player on that Line. Can't resign everyone. I'd rather they try to keep Phillips as a roster spot but Ezeudu better prove his worth because youth carried him this time.

He took a lot of hits and it impacted his judgment on the field, and that's not an excuse, it's fair and it's not a lie...

Anyone else find that happening to your stats?

No.

Quote from: Bill Brown on March 15, 2024, 10:37:14 AMEd. Even though you lease don't you still have to get a yearly inspection?

Bill

New vehicles in NJ we have I believe 4 years before requiring an inspection. If I get new plates, I don't have to renew the registration, but I keep my old plates and I have to renew the registration every year.

Quote from: Bob In PA on March 15, 2024, 09:55:15 AMThis could be a move instead of Cager.  I had read they were still interested in bringing him back, but that was prior to this signing. Bob

Two different types of TE's. I think they kept Cager last year as a replacement to Waller if he went down as a Pass Catcher. Seems to me that they may be changing how they utilize the TE again. I question if Waller will be on this team in September.

Quote from: kartanoman on March 15, 2024, 08:58:46 AMWow, Ed. Coming from a neutral position on this subject, I get the sense this is more than just an opinion on your part. I understand that a player who was once the face of the franchise is no longer here and the impression of re-assigning his jersey number might be interpreted as a lack of appreciation for being a team captain and one of the team's star players. "Once a Giant, Always a Giant" is the team motto, after all. If I misinterpreted that, or missed something, please feel welcome to correct me.

A long time ago, I used to feel the same way. The one player my emotions drew the most support for were Harry Carson. In fact, I signed a petition that went directly to Wellington Mara on the subject. His response was that jersey numbers would run out if they continued to retire everyone's number, and so he would be one day honored in a Giants' Ring of Honor.

As I have aged, and hopefully matured, I came to the realization the reverance we have should not be the number itself but the player. The Ring of Honor, when finally came to pass with the birth of The Sardine Can in 2010, was the ideal method of honoring our great Giants' players. It is my belief that once a player with a retired Giants jersey dies, or gives the team permission, should return their number back into the available numbers pool to select from. These greats have been remembered forever in the Ring of Honor, some in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, so why not give a new generation of fans the chance to see the numbers 1, 4, 7, 14, 16, 32, 40, 42, 50 returned to circulation and in a future generation or two, they can have 10, 11, 56, 92. By then, the Ring of Honor will have a man named Barkley listed with the rest of the Giants who did their craft well. He will go in just as Rodney Hampton did.

All of this will take place in due time. For now, he is part of the enemy, and it will be very interesting to see the Giants play against him and how he will feel going up against his former club.

As for fans wearing his jersey, we'll just have to wait and see when the TV camera pan the seats in the stadium which will answer your question. As for this "they," in your post, I'm not sure who you are referring to. I see people at stadiums wearing jerseys of former players all the time. When I went to the Cardinals' game last season, our fans had plenty of former Giants jerseys on. Heck, I was wearing my Phil Simms #11 jersey at the game! For as long as he is an Iggle, it probably would be awkward to wear a Giant Barkley jersey and I'm sure you can see that straight up.

I've said all I can say and hope this gives you perhaps a bigger picture thought about the whole jersey thing. Players these days are commodities more so than the heroes of our past. Sad, but true. Even Barkley had his price. That's why I don't collect or buy jerseys anymore, unless they are from the old days.

Peace!

Your right. He was the face of the franchise and now there is no replacement as Jones's future is uncertain and many fans have moved on from supporting him. When I say, they... I was talking about the Organization. If it was me, I would have held off a year before releasing that Jersey number. Just to let the dust settle. Tens of thousands of fans own that Jersey.

He walked away angry and gloating. Since that initial day, he backtracked and said words of appreciation to his fans. Too late, I think. The damage was done. There will still be fans however who will be adamant that the Giants should have paid him. I don't agree with that. 

I never said the number should be retired or that it was my opinion that it be retired. I said, I think it looks petty. Meaning that the optics will be viewed or interpreted as vindictive. Not by me, but by some fans on social media and some in the media may take off with it. Like I said, I would have waited a year. Just an observation.

Quote from: Bill Brown on March 15, 2024, 07:32:17 AMThe superbox4 is a box that connects to an hdmi port on my TV and gives me around 1200 live TV stations and a video on demand feature for movies and TV shows. I bought it on Amazon for around 300 bucks but now you can get a superbox4 for 222 on Amazon. The drop in price is because now there is a superbox5 but the 4 does all I need.

This is a one time purchase. No monthly fees or any other fees.

I bought it because Kingm26 (Matt) told me about it when people were asking how to get Giants game if they aren't broadcasting in my area. I thought I would pay 300 if I could get the Giants. This box allows me to do that. You can watch any NFL game live you want to see. Even the games that are broadcast on Amazon or peacock are available on the box.

You can also get several HBOs SHOWTIME Cinemax Starz etc.

I use the video on demand feature most of the time. I can get most of the current movies and TV series and almost any movies or series I want to watch I can find. Any show you get on Netflix or Apple I can get on the box.

This is not the perfect solution but is as close as possible. Once in awhile a station my be down for maintenance but if you ask me if I would recommend this box I would say ABSOLUTELY 100%  I LOVE IT.

I still have Hulu and Netflix but only because Louise want to keep them because she is comfortable using them so we keep those services for her but if I was alone the superbox4 would be all I would use.

Bill

I'm wondering how Apple and Netflix would allow this. Does it have all the channels that YouTube TV has like the NFL Channel? Seems to me it's an illegal Box but how could it be out there for so long.

Quote from: brownelvis54 on March 14, 2024, 09:51:02 PMEd...true, but in training camp, if the Giants see a better player (regardless of position) and Lock plays lights out, I could see a new starter. The NFL has many stories of this happening. Matt Flynn was to be the starter and a 3rd round pick Russel Wilson became the starter. Drew Bledsoe was "the man" and got hurt and some dude named tom Brady stepped in, at this point, anything is possible. But back to the OP...how is Jones guaranteed to be cut? It makes no financial sense.

From my perspective after paying attention to how the franchise does things, if they are paying a player 46 million dollars for the season, he's not going to sit from the beginning of the season because a 5mm backup plays better in camp. Of course if he implodes after a few games, I can see them bringing Lock. Anyway that's how I interpret this. I could be wrong. You could be right. We'll see soon enough.

Bullies and harassing people should not just be ignored . There is no block button?


You can have a different opinion than me about the giants, but constantly harassing ME as a person and poster is disrespectful and despicable

He's actually a respected Member of this community and a very knowledgeable fan. The interaction got off on the wrong foot. For now just ignore each other. If you want you can go into settings and put him on ignore but you should know that threads will be missing content and become confusing.
