Monday traditions

I have a new favorite tradition. I come into work, I futz around for a couple of hours, then I go search out a coworker of mine who is a diehard Giants fan, we high five and discuss the latest Giants victory. 3 or 4 weeks in a row now, he has claimed "I thought the game would be closer."

Once again, I am impressed with Manning's performance. On a windy, rainy day he threw for over 300 yards without his supposed top receiver. In perhaps the oddest story of the year, Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg. According to reports, Burress had the weapon tucked into the waistline of his pants gansta style with a round in the chamber and the safety off. When the gun fell inside his pants, Burress reached to grab it and pulled the trigger. Kudos to you Mr. Burress, please pick up your Darwin award on your way out of the city.

My game ball goes to Shawn Springs of the Washington Redskins who absolutely torpedoed DeAngelo Hall on a sure interception early in the third quarter. I'm surprised he didn't get flagged for interfering with a fair catch. Manning floated a wobbler in the general direction of Domenik Hixon. Hall was camped underneath it waiting for it to come down before Springs slammed into him to allow the pass to fall incomplete.

Randon shower thoughts

Between touching myself in the shower and touching myself in the shower, I came to a startling realization this morning; outside of Peyton Manning and a healthy Tom Brady, there is no one in the NFL I'd rather have under center for the Giants than Eli Manning. Not that I was thinking about Eli Manning while touching myself in the shower, that would be weird. In all seriousness, for the first time in my adult life I have no complaints about the Giants offense. That is not to say you can start printing your Super Bowl tickets, I mean, the Giants beat the unbeatable Patriots last year. This is kind of fun, especially with the defense playing as well has it has all year. So I am taking the bold step of retiring the Eli still sucks tag. It feels weird, considering last year I was ready to send Eli and Coughlin to the curb, but here goes...Eli Manning is a decent quarterback. Ugh, I just had a nervous sick feeling, but I'm going to roll with it.
