New York Giants Camp '09: Boring Is A Good Thing

They told me to stop complaining about the lack of juicy stories at Giants camp. Boring is good, they say.  Not if you're a football writer. Boring means you have to get off your butt and do some work.  And idle hands, well, you know the rest. In Albany there is little to write about.  The players are all cordial and upbeat.  The coaches say a lot of words, but at the same time, say nothing.  Usually there are holdouts, competitions for jobs, bold predictions and injuries (thanks for none of those, yet).  The Giants have all their draft picks signed and in camp. No veterans are holding out, either. The biggest contract "dispute" is the Eli Manning contract, which no one seems to want to confirm nor deny.  Eli himself isn't too concerned, so that takes all the fun out of it. If Brandon Jacobs dosen't feel like talking, then every interview is like a looping reel of blather.  Jacobs is by far the team's boldest speaker....
