I know you like the title!

Strahan is holding out for a last payday. The dude is old and he's kinda legendary in giant land cuz of his high production. He still does his thing. He's gonna go put on a serious bad note. Jerry Reese could possibly sign arch-nemisis simion rice!

Usi is even in on it, trashing rice in the media. Thoughts?

man, i wanted to talk about the giants for awhile now. you know what, it doesn't matter if strahan or rice would come. the results are still the same. we are going to stink in this division. reece hardly did anything this offseason to fill holes. do we have a kicker? do we have better offensive linemen? did we improve our linebacking corp? did we address the secondary ineptitude? unless people know more than i do, no we didn't. it seems like we are setting coughlin up to fail and with this squad and an improving division that will happen. strahan sees the writing on the wall and wants no part of it. who can blame him? he has a championship heart and deserves to go to a champion or just end his illustrous career like tiki.

Why do we have to go out and get Simeon Rice? Can't we just try Justin Tuck there(is he still with the team?) Tuck was pretty good with ND and he hasnt had a chance to showcase his abilities since the Giants drafted him a few years ago. I'd be fine with that, Rice is old and past his prime, no reason to bring him in.

Giants have too may drama queens when it comes to retirement. Tiki milked his out for way too long and now Strahan. If he is going be done with it and stop hedging.

I think Tiki was giving the Giants a chance to change management. There is no way he retires if the Giants got rid of Coughlin. That team is so mismanaged.

Strahan just got divorced and had to agree a massive settlement. It's probably all a ploy for more money. Or maybe he really wants to retire. Either way its annoying that he feels he can hold the team hostage.

Simeon Rice is leverage. Giants talk about signing Rice and Strahan has to cave. If Strahan does retire its not like they can't use him. Kiwi to LB is probably a permanent swtich. Tuck and Joseph can also play DE, but Tuck is still coming off a serious injury. Can always use another major passrusher, especially if Rice passes his physical and is healthy. IF so, he's almost a guaranty for double digit sacks....

Giants are alot closer than you think. OL should be fine. David Diehl did well at LT and they have a more than adequate replacement for him at Guard. Brandon Jacobs is gonna be a beast next year and the running game should still be fine.

Giants will focus on the power run game. A more straight ahead, simpler approach might just be what Manning needs. Another plus is they'll have some intelligent playcalling with Hufnagel gone.

We have kicking options. We got Lawrence Tynes from KC and a strong legged prospect from Ohio St. named Josh Huston.

This Defense under Spagnuolo is gonna have the aggression that Lewis' D lacked. Kiwi and LB could be a huge weapon. I think you'll be surprised at how well they play this year.

This team should be at least as good as last year if not a couple wins better.
