Much to my chagrin, Superbowl Sunday came and went with no sight of the Giants. Oh wait, Eli was in the Manning skybox but that is not quite what I was looking for. There was a funny article about the Eli angle post super bowl...basically he was lost and ran into Grossman....gee, imagine that Eli and Rex lost at the super bowl :-)"Just like his entire football life, here was Eli again, trying to find his way while following in the footsteps of his big brother."
Anyway, we had a really nice time watching the Bears struggle at the Zup household. Joe just got a new HD LCD TV so the game looked really sharp minus the fact that it was Rex choking instead of Eli. Here are some pictures which should make Grandpa Russel a happy little camper.
Speaking of the Giants...here's the latest off-season coaching shuffle:
Head Coach: Still Tom Coffin....oh wait I mean Coughlin. This one means I will need to endure one more year of watching him throw his arms up in the air like he is a victim...stop it and coach!
General Manager: Replacing Ernie Accorsi is Jerry Reese. Reese served as the team's director of player personnel the past four years. It looks like he may be a good change - younger blood with a talent for scouting...key at the GM position. Source: http://www.nfl.com/teams/story
/NYG/9932325 Offensive Coordinator: Replacing Huffnegal is Kevin Gilbride. Gilbride was Eli Manning's quarterbacks coach the last three seasons which means he at least understands what Eli can and can not do...which is something that the offensive coordinator SHOULD know. Hopefully this will result in more play calling tailored to his talents....a.k.a., run the damned ball. Oh yeah, Tiki is retiring...oy vey. Source: http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs
.dll/article?AID=2007701190441 Quarterback Coach: Cowboys quarterbacks coach Chris Palmer is leaving to backfill Gilbride and reunite with his former boss - Tom Coffin. We will see if Palmer can pull a miracle like he did with Romo...only time will tell on this one. Source: http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw
Defensive Coordinator: Steve Spagnuolo, the Philadelphia Eagleslinebackers coach the past three seasons, was hired by the Giants on Monday to be their defensive coordinator. This in my mind is a great move. The Eagles have an aggressive defense which the Giants desperately need also. Hopefully he can also help Gilbride come up with an offense game plan to beat the Eagles next year.

It must be nice to care about this kind of stuff, in a comforting, mind-numbing sort of way. I've never been able to rise to the level of caring about who the Bills' quarterback coach is.
I thought football season was over?
You are a dire hard I guess.
