The NEW York Giants?!!

Greetings!!

Last season, the Giants left me so uninspired to type or write anything!! I can give you more excuses…but I was lazy and unmotivated! Sorry to leave you hangin!

Hopefully that won’t be the case this year, but I will stay the course regardless and take my lumps if need be!

I refuse to comment on last season because this is a NEW season, in a NEW stadium with a NEW defensive coordinator and tons of NEW changes for the NEW York Football Giants! Let’s hope all this newness comes with a WINNING and Playoff bound season.

So first things first, I am sure Big Blue Nation breathed a deep collective sigh of relief when last year’s Defensive Coordinator Bill Sheridan was given his walking papers! See ya! NYG then hired former Buffalo Bill’s DC and Interim Head Coach Perry Fewell, I am excited! I have been hearing great things!

Roster moves:

Veteran Additions:
QB Jim Sorgi, LB Keith Bulluck, S Antrel Rolle, S Deon Grant.
Draft Picks:
DE Jason Pierre-Paul, DT Linval Joseph, S Chad Jones, LB Phillip Dillard, LB Adrian Tracy, G Mitch Petrus, P Matt Dodge
Losses:
David Carr, Fred Robbins, Danny Clark, Antonio Pierce, Kevin Dockery, C.C. Brown, Jeff Feagles and Domenik Hixon who was placed on season ending injured reserve. L

The Giants suffered greatly last year due to injuries and I hope and pray that doesn’t occur this year. Everyone so far has claimed to be healthy and on target to being ready for our first regular season game. I am excited to have Kenny Phillips back! Also, running backs Brandon Jacobs, Ahmad Bradshaw and Andre Brown are all returning from injuries and surgeries with Brown returning from the most serious injury, his Achilles.

Per Mike Garafolo and The Star – Ledger here is who hasn’t been practicing due to injury:

CB Corey Webster – (glute muscle), WR Steve Smith (groin), WR Sinorice Moss (groin), RG Chris Snee (knee), TE Kevin Boss (hamstring/ankle), TE Travis Beckum (hamstring), TE Scott Chandler (hip flexor), TE Jake Ballard (hamstring) and OL Kevin Booth (pec/PUP) and G Rich Seubert (broken bone in hand)

We have one available tight end for Monday night’s first pre-season game against the Jets and that’s Bear Pascoe.

Listen folks sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying. None of the injuries listed are season ending and everyone SHOULD be ready to go for our first regular season game! So let’s all form a prayer circle! LOL

In other news I am looking for GREAT things from Hakeem Nicks! Here…allow yourself to get hype:

Okay and let’s not forget that beautiful NEW stadium that we have…You can call it the NEW Meadowlands…I’ll call it the NEW GIANTS Stadium. J

I went to the open Minicamp practice at the new Giants stadium with my daughters , mom and nephew and it was very cool to get an inside look at the new stadium prior to opening day. Here are a few pics:

What was left of the old Giants stadium L

And here she is the NEW Giants stadium!

I think she’s pretty! LOL

As you can see it’s a pretty nice place! LOL And it will be hosting Super Bowl 2014! *fist pump*

If you haven’t noticed I keep calling it the NEW GIANTS Stadium…teehee I know the Jets are feeling themselves and hey, it may be deserved from a NEW York Giant fan WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU ALL THINKING THIS IS YOUR STADIUM. It isn’t. We are still your landlords, you are just the tenants. You pay us rent and we allow you to sleep on the couch. LOL To be even more petty of course the Giants hosted their minicamp practice first and the Jets followed suit the next day! HA HA!

And if you think anything different well then…

So here is to the start of a NEW season in a NEW stadium with the NEW York Football Giants!

Stay Tuned!

Asta La Pasta,
