‘Flat,’ My Ass!

One of the “genius” reporters — after the Giant’s 26-23 overtime win over The Bengals — asked Tom Coughlin, “Why do you think the Giants came out so ‘flat?’” To which Coughlin replied with one of those icy, pre-softer-gentler, Tom Coughlin scowls. “Don’t give me any of that ‘flat’ stuff!

Body Shot’s Kill … Eventually

Well, the UN-Sexy, NY Giants did it again yesterday in St. Louis, punching the crap out of the lowly Rams, 41-13, en route to their 12th straight road win (counting SB-XLII). And, as usual, they did it the way a really good heavyweight fighter beats the snot out of a not so good heavyweight fighter. [...]

Defense Dominates as Giants Pound Rams 41-13

While the Rams made it interesting for awhile, there is no doubting that the start of the 2008 Giants season has started a lot better than 2007. Scoring 28 points in the second half, the G-Men laid waste to the awful Rams, topping them 41-13 at the Edward Jones Dome to start the 08 [...]
