Big Blue Huddle / Re: Hall of Fame has revealed ...
Last post by EDjohnst1981 - November 20, 2024, 01:44:15 PMI've long said that too many people get into the Hall of Fame, it's diluting the quality.
I think there needs to be a cut off of how many times one can be nominated. Holt has been nominated 11 times and not got in. That's crazy to think he'll eventually get in.

The Front Porch / Re: What are we watching these...
Last post by MightyGiants - November 20, 2024, 01:40:35 PMI have grown to really enjoy British and Aussie TV. What they share with us is often superior to what America TV offers (especially network TV).
Lately, I have been watching a program through Amazon Prime called "Packed to the Rafters." It's a little older (10 - 15 years old), but it's well-written and acted, and it keeps me entertained.
From Wikipedia
Packed to the Rafters is an Australian family-oriented comedy drama television program which premiered on the Seven Network on Tuesday 26 August 2008 at 8:30 pm. The show continued on Tuesdays in this timeslot for its entire run. The drama series features a mix of lighthearted comedy woven through the plot. It revolves around the Rafter family facing work pressures and life issues, while also tackling serious social issues. The Logie award winning series was the highest rating to screen on the Seven Network in 2008, and the show was consistently among the top 5 shows of the year throughout its run in Australia.

Last post by PSUBeirut - November 20, 2024, 01:39:05 PMI'd say the locker room probably has a healthy skepticism about Joe Schoen in particular, which could be even more harmful in regards to bringing FAs here that want to play for the Giants. It was certainly rumored that some of that souring already happened when Schoen decided to pay DJ the big contract and not Barkley. Players notice stuff like that.

Picking him is not the issue. His output as a winger taken second overall is. He needs to take the leap Lafreniere has. The guy has three goals and overall 60 in 320 career games.

Last post by LennG - November 20, 2024, 01:28:07 PMWell another great series in the book as I just finished Tulsa King this AM. A terrific second season and better than season 1.
This role was meant for Sly as was Rocky. If he is your thing, you will simply love this series. If not, watch something else because he is the entire show.

Last post by LennG - November 20, 2024, 01:25:54 PMQuote from: Jolly Blue Giant on November 19, 2024, 09:50:40 PMI love Wegmans, but it's too big...unless you have a day or afternoon to waste, and you brought a substantial amount of money. I've perfected getting in and out in less than a few minutes - getting two types of sushi - then browsing the fresh fish and beef departments. I usually (used to anyway) grab a fresh tuna steak or swordfish steak, but at 40-some dollars per pound now, not so often. The filet Mignon steaks, strip steaks, etc., that don't sell on day one, they vacuum seal and sell them the next day, for about half price and that's where I end up getting beef...unless I'm entertaining guests, then I splurge. Usually in and out in less than 10 minutes. Sometimes I grab a Beef'n Wick sandwich and split...like yesterday when I was in Syracuse. They have everything imaginable in the store, but it's pricey and Weiss, Tops, Price Chopper, and even Aldi's has pretty good vegetables for a lot less than Wegmans, without overwhelming crowds. What Wegmans does, is a fantastic job of presentation of unlimited varieties of fruits and veggies...not necessarily more tasty than other stores. I'm used to them as there have been Wegmans in Binghamton, Ithaca, and Syracuse for many years...and I'm about equidistant from each of those cities, although usually I go to the one in Binghamton. Selection is unsurpassed by any grocery store in the world, but along with unlimited selections, great presentation, etc., is large crowd chaosThat's the one downside IMO
People rave on and on about Trader Joes, but I don't get the obsession.
The worst thing about Wegmans is their urinals. When I use them, I get urine everywhere!
Worst urinals ever
I'm sure you were saying this tongue in cheek, but you do know what goes into those machines. At least I hope so.

We are all unhappy as fans of the New York Giants, and we all share your frustration. What is the point of not focusing any of the ire of that frustration/unhappiness at the source? I appreciate your strong views on stoicism, and those principles put a value on not blaming the team. That said, sometimes I think it's worth addressing the cause rather than people who have nothing to do with the problem.
Rich,
I am no less a critic than I am right now when I feel it serves a purpose that is not as ignorant and egoistic and self-serving as that which has come to dominate the forum in recent days if not weeks. It's has become a self-sustaining trend which ought to be acknowledged as having a corrosive nature and effect.
Cheers! Really?

Last post by President Rick - November 20, 2024, 01:20:42 PMwith the slim pickings in the 25 draft, I'd opt for the best journeyman or cheap FA with some tire tread left we can find for a year and then shop the larger and stronger qb class of 26. EXCEPT.....
If he comes out, and he's a red-shirt senior so he could stay in school or enter the draft, Will Howard of ohio state, 6'4", 235 lbs, leader, good character, hard player - including some running, accurate, pro-style offence under coach Ryan Day. May be there mid-1st round where we likely will be.
