Has anyone noticed that, in Saquon Barkley and Xavier McKinney, the Giants could have let go both the NFL's Offensive and Defensive players of the year?

That's one hunk of malfeasance.

Just sayin'.

Doug K. said...: There was a moment in yesterday's game that made me realize just how done I am with the Giants as currently constructed.

It was during the first Giant offensive series when an unobstructed Buccaneer hit DeVito at top speed and just flattened him.

I laughed. Not because I was happy but because it looked exactly like those moments in film or TV when a villain is about to kill the protagonist and is hit by a bus or a truck. Boom! It was so total. So comical that I had no choice but to laugh.

Fiasco.

They are not worth my time. I don't know how long it will take me to quit the habit but it's now officially on my To Do list.; November 25, 2024 at 12:19 PM
JM said...: I saw that, too, Doug. Good thing the Giant Brains fixed that offensive line problem last offseason.

Have you noticed that Daboll--who got rid of his offensive coach in a hissy fit--is really terrible at play calling? He may well be worse than Boone in making in-game decisions. Certainly right up...er, down there, anyway.; November 25, 2024 at 12:32 PM
JM said...: Keefe has one of the best arguments for signing Soto:

"While Mr. May was striking out every at-bat, Soto hit the way he hit all year. He hit the way he has hit his entire career. Because there is no difference between regular-season Soto and postseason Soto. For the truly great ones, which he is, there is never a difference between their regular-season numbers and their postseason numbers."

That is very true. That's why Judge is not up there with Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, and DiMaggio. He doesn't help the team win rings--and considering how few chances they get with this front office and dugout manager, that's a really black mark.

It's unfair to call him Mr. May, though, imo. He's Mr. Regular Season. Half a legendary player.; November 25, 2024 at 12:46 PM
Pocono Steve said...: This, too: "The only way Soto leaves and I stay is if the Yankees pull off blockbuster trades to improve the offense and go to town on the free-agent starting pitching market. But there’s a better chance Soto ends up signing with the Red Sox than there is that that backup plan comes to fruition if Soto leaves."; November 25, 2024 at 12:53 PM
JM said...: It looks like I'll be living in Germany by the time next season starts, so I'll have to spring for MLB or YES, assuming both allow for foreign viewers.

I don't know what kind of TV you can get in Germany via VPN. Here, it includes German TV, so I assume it will included American TV there.; November 25, 2024 at 12:56 PM
HoraceClarke66 said...: This is what I've been saying! (All right, all right; Keefe says it better. But still!) And we may not even have seen the half of what Soto can do. Babe Ruth was 26 in 1921—a peak year for him, maybe, but there were still what would've been MVP years in 1923, 1924, 1926-1931. Plus his greatest World Series. Mantle was 26 in 1958; even with all the injuries, he spent another 10 years being one of the top players in the league. Joe D. turned 26 in November, 1940. Even with HIS injuries, and 3 years at the war, there were 2 more MVPs, 5 more rings, that hitting streak thingy...; November 25, 2024 at 2:48 PM
Alphonso said...: I think the hit on DeVito came off an EvanNeal whiff.; November 25, 2024 at 3:02 PM
Alphonso said...: Calling that wild cat formation the goal line was egregiously stupid. Just like his earlier two point conversion where not a single player knew the play or executed it. Daboll is harmful as a play caller. Mara is fine with that.; November 25, 2024 at 3:04 PM
JM said...: Mara and Hal are two peabrains in a pod.; November 25, 2024 at 3:56 PM
JM said...: I wonder how many 26 year old wunderkinds didn't go higher and higher like our past masters? Rico Carty, RIP, was 25 when he hit the majors, and hit like crazy. Then, injuries. A subpar year. Tuberculosis (!). Another great year. Then all downhill, bouncing around various teams until he finally retired at age 40,

You can't predict baseball, Suzyn. Though I doubt Soto will get TB. But hey, RFK Jr. is on the case. It could happen.; November 25, 2024 at 4:04 PM
