By the way, Joe Morris was a very underrated running back. He put up some great numbers in 85-86.

And,why is he an assclown? The San Diego thing? Last I checked it was still a business for these guys. San Diego didn't HAVE to trade him.

You are right, Little Joe was underrated. Tore up his ankle real bad in training camp of '89. Otis Andserson found the fountain of youth that year and had a big season. They drafted Rodney Hampton (another underrated player) in the spring of 90 and that was it for Morris.

Nice sig. Does one win constitute a dynasty?

[coggs]

Nope, but it has to start somewhere. This site never changes. I remember the Yahoo group/club days, I remember how excited you guys were when Spurrier was hired and the first pre-season game he coached. Skins 1st O scored TD's on their first 2 drives, and they were on their way to the Super Bowl. How did that work out? I remember the Schottenheimer (sp?) days. Yup, skins fans were excited then. Now, Haynesworth and Jason Campbell are going to lead them to glory. You're hysterical, thanks for giving me a good laugh. Wife got me Carvel, but the stupid employee f'd it up. You, on the other hand made up for my bad ice cream experience.

So did you smoke crack and start typing gibberish instead? If the G-men were half as good as you think they are they would be 19-0.

I wasn't here then but since you like to talk about the past so much, what happened to your great team last year? Ya'll blew it. What happened to the dynasty? That's what happens when your head and mouth get bigger than your talent.

Coggs, I will give it to you, you guys beat us by a collective 25 points last season. The Giants were better than the Skins then. The NFL however is a "What have you done for me lately" league. You say that it is a 3 team race for the NFC east title, well we have been in the race every other year. We can sweep the Eagles, we can split the Cowboys, but we just can't seem to beat the Giants.

Well, all of that is about to change. over the past 2 years you have lost 3 playmakers (Shockey, Ward, Burress) on offense and your D coridinator. Your O line isn't going to mean shit without the talent. Your offense will struggle. Your D might be OK.

You ready for this? Your team is now going to be subject to relying on their defense for wins. Now considering that you have pretty good D, you should not fret too much. I do want you to remember this though, we have been relying on Defense for the past decade and ours is a whole lot better than yours this season. We already know that we can win with shitty offense...can the VAGIANTS?

Not worth it at all, especially without Plaxico...

Well Pocket$, I guess he took his ice-cream and went home.

Just like his team did when Philadelphia kicked the crap out of them in their backyard.

[Ruhskins]

Just remember this thread with Coggs during the annual fire Eli Manning/Tom Coughlin phase that the New York sports media goes through every year in the Fall the first time the team loses.

I can't believe the Giants gave Eli Manning that kind of money! That is an asinine contract for that player.

[53Fan]

Well if we win the SB this year, JC should make the Fortune 500.

This is the downside to the deal for us. Not that I think we're SB bound but if Campbell comes out and has a career year then we're screwed contract-wise. This kind of deal blows up the current scale. everyone in the league knows it's a crap contract for an average player but agents will parlay it into major deals for every other half-baked to good QB in the league.

[SirClintonPortis]

I hope the Redskins don't overpay JC. That being said, Sinorice Moss and Steve Smith the possession receiver don't scare me at all compared to Plax and Amani, although Moss may have an 'older brother' moment on one of the Redskin's DBs...

Im happy as hell the Giants gave Eli that type of money. This just means the Giants will be strapped for cash to give other players. We all know Eli cant do it all on his own.
