A Little News

A little news from abroad, thanks to the folks who stayed a few hours longer in Britain than I did.
Looks like Tom Coughlin is sticking with placekicker Lawrence Tynes despite his third missed field goal of the season. He liked where the kickoffs were placed. The fact that Tynes has now missed from 34, 34, and 29 yards didn’t appear that big a deal to Coughlin. Wait until he blows one and it costs the Giants a game.
Also, cornerback Kevin Dockery was indeed the only one to come out of the game with a significant injury. He hurt his shoulder and didn’t play the second half. And Plaxico Burress, now afforded a whole week of rest on that sprained right ankle, could return to practice next week, God willing and the creek don’t rise.
Ciao for now.

TC should have signed Matt Bahr when he was
there at the Niners’ game. Both wear #9,
and Bahr, no matter his age, could still do
much better than The Great Pretender Tynes.
Maybe Brad Daluiso can still kick? Joe Danelo? Is Pete Gogolak still alive?
I don’t know why TC didn’t audition some soccer-style kickers when he was in England. They have a few hundred good ones.
John Markham is available….to fix a leaky roof.
Owen Pochman wrote a book….my life as a kicker in the NFL. its a short book.
I would take George Hunt back…well, maybe not on second thought. The last straight-on-kicker the Giants had.
hmmm, Ive got it!....lets get one of those Aussie Rules footballs to learn how to kick a football, not just punt. Pass on that idea Ernie! he he he
