New York Giants news & notes: Love numbers? You'll love this

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:00:41 -0500

Just when I thought I knew every nook and cranny of the Internet where I could find information about the New York Giants and the NFL, along comes someone with a new one. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks. And you can always uncover a new and fascinating Web site. I didn't exactly 'uncover' Pro Football Focus. One of the other football bloggers here at SB Nation brought it to the attention of all of the football writers across the network. I am, however, ...

Moss, Hagan Fighting For Final Roster Spot

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 11:10:16 -0500

From Rotoworld: Sinorice Moss and Derek Hagan will have their last fight for the final Giants receiver spot Thursday in New England. Neither Moss nor Hagan has done much in the preseason, but tonight they will get extended playing time to prove they belong. Hagan has three catches for 31 yards while Moss has two grabs for 10 yards so far. David Tyree is on his way out since he won’t play tonight because of a hamstring injury. I’m just really done with Sinorice Moss. He has been injury prone and for every good play that he makes, he makes three where starts running backwards. I hated him when he drafted, and people insisted that his speed was a weapon. His only chance to succeed was in the slot, and that spot is going to be occupied by Steve Smith, who is the Giants most consistent receiver. As for Hagan, the former Arizona State Scum Devil has a little bit more size than Moss and has produced in the league before. If nothing else, he is a better option at the final receiver slot than Moss.

Giants- Patriots: What To Look For Tonight

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:35:00 -0500

by Rick Resch1. Derek Hagan Vs. Sinorice MossOne of these two receivers will not make the team. Hagan has been great in practice and had a solid game against the Jets, and I doubt the Giants would risk trying to put him on their practice squad. Moss has been invisible lately. If he doesn't do anything spectacular on Thursday, and perhaps even if he does, I expect him to be the odd man out. Maybe the Giants will try to trade Moss for a late round draft pick.2.

Two Days In April, Two Years Ago

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 16:39:08 -0500

I finally watched the movie We Are Marshall on Christmas Day, and I have to say that it was one of the best football movies I have seen. I am now hungry for a new, exciting football movie to be released. I may get that wish in 2008, when producers hope that Two Days in April is available for purchase on DVD. Current CAA agent, Tom Condon, pitched the idea for Two Days in April. The movie follows a few of his clients as they ready themselves for the 2006 NFL Draft. The NFL Draft has become quite a spectacle, with coverage for the 2009 draft starting while the 2008 draft will be going on. People all across the world tune in to the long, drawn out event that features names like Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay. Interestingly, it seems that Two Days in April will cover a lot of topics that the recently reviewed book, Game Time, focused on. The Senior Bowl, combines, team work outs, etc. are to be shown much in the same way that Ted Kluck wrote about them. Condon's incentive for pushing the pitch? It would be an "incredible marketing tool", of course [Lights, camera …]. This "marketing tool" has gone through a lot of crap so far. Many of Condon's clients felt uncomfortable in the making of the movie, leaving producers with players like Derek Hagan, Travis Wilson, Clint Ingram, and DonTrell Moore to film. The NFL did not want to release combine footage. Condon switched from IMG to CAA…but luckily, IMG signed off on allowing the project to continue. It seemed like the movie would survive and potentially be a DVD hit until Condon abruptly decided against appearing on the film and withheld his right of final artistic sign-off. Originally, Condon thought this movie would be an "incredible marketing tool." Now he was afraid that other agents would use it against him to their marketing benefit. Condon still has a lawsuit pending against him on four different grounds based on his actions in stalling the film's release. I know that the movie may be out of date (it is based on the 2006 NFL Draft) and covers athletes that are not at the top of their class, but I personally cannot wait to see it. I am interested to see how this movie that has jumped through ten thousand hoops turns out looking on my HD TV. The movie's website: Two Days in April | Home.
