Yup. C.J. Spiller is Fast.

Well, everyone wanted to know just how fast C.J. Spiller and Javhid Best are the answer is in: Very. C.J. Spiller ran a 4.37. Jahvid Best ran a 4.35. That’s 40 yards, that’s how long it takes me to get from the couch to the fridge in my house and that’s only one room over. [...]

Campbell Blows Up The Combine; Other Combine News

Bruce Campbell, like I, and many others predicted Blew-Up at the Combine. Bruce Campbell ran an official 4.85 40 yard dash at 6’6 and 315 pounds. Campbell also threw up 34 bench presses at 225, had arms of 36 1/4 inch and had hands 10.5 inch hands. If you read the profile above you will [...]

“I don’t know how you do that.” “Our field is the field, and competition is good. It’s like we tell everybody: Go Earn it”

That’s a quote from Tom Coughlin, speaking at the Combine, about Osi Umenyiora. Go earn it. Osi has to. I’m sure Osi realizes that he has to earn a starting spot. But, it really won’t surprise me if Osi demands a trade. He doesn’t seem happy, and he wants a fresh start. The Giants would [...]

Wilkinson To The Middle?

I came across this from Adam Caplan from Scout.com Gerris Wilkinson may be moved to MLB next season, a source said. Wilkinson, a restricted free agent, will receive a third-round tender from the team. Wilkinson, who has been a backup at WLB since he was drafted in 2006, played MLB in college at Georgia Tech. [...]

New York “Clubhouse Leader” For Super Bowl XLVIII:

Per SportsBusiness Daily, the Arizona Host Committee unanimously voted on Thursday not to bid for Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014, due to “the poor economic climate and threat of losing hundreds of safety and law enforcement personnel in budget cuts.” As a result, the only remaining bidders are Tampa, Miami, and New York.  SI.com’s Peter King [...]

Tenders Don’t Mean Jobs:

Just a quick note tendering a player ensures nothing, as the Giants at a later date can cut any of them. Figure the other free agents C.C. Brown, Kevin Dockery and Darcy Johnson won’t be back.

Agent: Osi “had a nice, long chat” with Jerry Reese

Osi Umenyiora reportedly had a “nice, long chat” with the GM last week about his future with the NY Giants.  Osi is probably still wondering why he was demoted from starting DE to 3rd down pass rush specialist in the latter half of the season, and frankly I can’t blame him. Now with Bill Sheridan [...]

Rumor: Hixon/Moss tendered, Not Dockery

In a move that I can’t quite understand, or begin to explain for that matter… Domenik Hixon and Sinorice Moss are rumored to be tendered. Kevin Dockery, however, is not. So aside from Hixon, here is my problem with this — I want to see Ramses Barden out on the field next year, A LOT.  [...]

Prospect Profiles DT Lamaar Houston (Texas)

I’ve been trying to hold off on these becuase the combine was coming up and I could get you all the combine numbers, but I’ve been itching to talk about this guy before the combine and was just waiting for some video and ESPN or NFL.com to put out their scouting reports. Without further adu, [...]
