Gone fishin’

February
15

I’m burning a timeout, so don’t be too concerned when you see that I’m not posting anything here this week.

We’ll let the kind folks in the office drop in any news they see fit.

I’ll turn on the computer next Monday and start dialing up agents to see where things stand as far as free agents. Maybe by then Brandon Jacobs will be playing hardball in hopes of getting back the money the Giants are potentially taking by using the franchise tag.

Eli Manning could have a new contract, too.

It makes sense the Giants would get that done sooner than later since it could alter the game plan this year and well into the future.

Have a good week. Talk amongst yourselves.

    No Sports talk on Valentine’s day weekend!!! Me and the ole lady went into NYC for the weekend, you would never know there was a resesion by the droves of people walking the streets of mid-town!! Shops were busy, Restaurants had a block long wait to park!! We on the other hand took the “Beeline” from Westchester and were in mid-town in no time and walked to “B-way” were our hotel awaited us!
    Cocktails at Rudy-foo’s Dinner at Russo’s on 7th ave, and desert at Godiva at Times sqare! The Moral never drive when you can take the Bee-line!
    Hope your Valentine’s day was just what you wanted!

    I just read that Brad Van Pelt passed away today at the age of 57.

    For those of us who remember him, he was a great linebacker for the Giants in the 70’s and early 80’s when the team was mostly pretty bad.

    Though it is obviously true that Lawrence Taylor, Harry Carson, Carl Banks, etc. are credited with making the Giants a great defensive team, Van Pelt was instrumental in changing the team’s strength to defense and paving the way for the championship defenses that followed. I also remember he was a terrific athlete and kicked off for the Giants for a time.

    Condolences to his family.
