I don’t care either. It’s hard to ignore the story because it’s all over the sports radio shows here. Not sure what Manning feels about the protests. I haven’t been paying attention, but I assume he’d have no public opinion because he’s a consummate professional.

Thanks!

People say they don’t care, but they do.

The Giants were embarrased they had a white guy still playing on their team. Whites need not apply to the Giants.

that makes sense.

hard to handle that the right way though. but saying the truth would have been better than saying you want to give geno smith a chance!!!!

i know. i’m a jets fan!!!

[Doogle]

I’ll report back in January....(geno smith)

Five or so years ago, the wife and I stopped for dinner at a bar/restaurant on the NY/NJ border. This was when the Jets were really bad. There were a few guys at the bar, and the Jets were playing.

I noticed that the guys were cheering for the other team, and I started joking with them. They said the Jets were so bad, they wanted them to lose so they could get the high draft pick. Now, it’s the Giants, 49’ers, and Brown’s turn to fight for it.

Let’s just call it “the pigmentation advantage.”

That is the most reasonable analysis I’ve read so far!

LOL!!

They actually went 11-5 last year in McAdoo’s first year as head coach.

I've watched very little this year and have mostly checked their games via Yahoo's Game Channel. They seem so hapless I guess it's easy to forget a better season last year.

"A likely Hall of Famer is benched for going 2-9, but Colin Kaepernick is supposed to have a starting job forever after going 1-10 in 2016!"

Yep! In NY, all Eli needs is to be wearing a commie-loving T-shirt. He'll be a hero till he is 90.

[Impy]

If they want to say what Davis Webb can do, fine, not a bad idea.

But Geno Smith? Geno Smith gives you a better chance to win than Eli? They would be 0-11 instead of 2-9 if Smith had been their QB.

Right. LOL.

[Alberta's Child]

Thanks! LOL.

Gi’nts need to showcase Geno’s skills in order to ‘shop’ him out.

I want to see how the Pats are going to look in five years when Bellichek and Brady retire.
