Trouble in New York!?!?

From what I have ben reading it seems that Coughlin(SP) my loose the respect of the players before the second game of the season. I guess that he has ben fining playerS for, get this, SHOWING UP EARLY, BUT NOT EARLY ENOUGH, to team meetings.

I personly like the way that Coughlin(SP) is trying to build team chemistry on the Giants. With good rewards such as a $1,000.00 fine for M. Strahan because he arrived at 8:23 for an 8:25 meeting.

If he keeps up this attitude this season, I see the players esp. the vets on this team, quiting on him faster than the did on Fassel.

As long as they're in the meeting by start time and attentive so what? You set a time for people to be there for a reason. Random fines only build team comradarie while they figure out how to lynch the coach.

Don't make the players GUESS what will get them in trouble. Were they there by said time? They did what you asked. I'm all for discipline, but this is over the top.

That's like telling a child to eat their Spinach and they get desert. Once the Spinich is gone you say well, I would have given you desert had you eaten the Spinach before we made that deal, but since you made the deal you have to eat more Spinach.

Strahan fined for not being early enough?

I love this gem, "Meetings start five minutes early."

Between the grievances over practice and voluntary workouts, the Giants look to be in big t-rouble

well, if he set the time for being there 5 mins be4 the actuall meeting time, then they knew when they had to be there, so its not as bad as i thought

Matty, Joe, Smootsmack, other Mods can I have $20 please? This website doesnt load fast enough.

ok then why not just set the time to be at say 8:25 for an 8:30 meeting, then there would be no confussion as to when the meeting started and when it really started.

Not to stick up for TC, 'cause I agree with Daseal - if you say you must be there when the meeting starts and it starts at 8:25, don't fine me when I show up at 8:24.

BUT What TC appears to be saying is "the meeting STARTS at 8:25, be there 5 mins early so we can start AT 8:25 and not have to wait for you to find your seat, get settled, say your howdy's, etc."

IF that's what TC meant, however, then he damn well shoulda said that.

That's frickin ANAL, I'm surprised his players still have ANY respect for him.
