Re: Strahan To Stay Retired
 

Thanks for not coming back! Enjoy your pain free life with the TV crew. I'm glad we don't ever have to see he ass again in a uniform! The Giants will take a big step back this season IMO.

I hope so, but i still think theyll be pretty decent since they have BJacobs at RB. He's a freaking beast.

Re: Strahan To Stay Retired
 

This is outstanding news...this means that the Giants will come in last place since they have no pass rush now. Sweeeet.

Re: Strahan To Stay Retired
 

Pheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwww!! I would much rather see his ugly mug and put up with that annoying lisp as an analyst than watch him wreaking havoc in the Redskins backfield.

HAIL!!

Brett Favre could learn a thing or two from Michael Strahan about sticking by a decision.

Re: Strahan To Stay Retired
 

I wasn't worried about Strahan next Thursday...I was worried about him November 30th, when he was back in the swing of things. But now, I just have to watch the Gapped Wonder on TV instead of infiltrating opponent's backfields...

LOL. You're not the only one looking forward to that. We should be very dominant vs him this year.

Why, because Jon "Strahan Stopper" Jansen is back? Ask Cooley [URL="http://chriscooley47.blogspot.com/2008/06/cooley-zone-remembering-strahan.html"]how much he enjoys double teaming Strahan and still getting owned[/URL].

I think you missed his point, he's referring to the "gapped wonder" as Wynn.

Oh, I thought the "gapped wonder" was a reference to Strahan via his gapped teeth.

LOL...you know what...I missed his point...I think you're right. I thought he was referring to Wynn's terrible gap protection. LOL. I am seriously laughing right now. That's funny.

My bad. This is the second time in a few days I misread a post pretty badly.

Sorry man.

And Green Bay could learn a thing from the Colorado Avs.
"Unlike the Green Bay Packers, who pressed quarterback Brett Favre for a decision in March so they could plot their future with or without him -- an approach that ultimately backfired when Favre changed his mind, unretired and forced an ugly divorce that ended with him playing for the New York Jets -- the Avalanche took the opposite approach with Sakic.

Giguere told him to take as much time as he needed, even if that meant informing the team of his decision on the eve of training camp in September."

I should have been more specific when referring to the booth instead of the generic TV term, but you should know me from my Parking Lot posts that I'm not savy enough to think of Renaldo Wynn...I mean, I'm a Tony Stewart fan afterall ;)

To Green Bay's credit, while Joe Sakic is a pivotal part of the success to that franchise, Favre's position is a bit more important in terms of moving forward than Sakic. If Joe doesn't come back, they have a youngster that will fill the 3rd line or his spot on the bench...but yes, Green Bay and Favre both handled it wrong, and Green Bay will pay for it in the long run.

im with you. i still don't understand the packs decision to force Favre's hand. after all, the name of the game is winning. and Brett Favre still gives the pack a better chance of winning then Rodgers

Re: Strahan To Stay Retired
 

awesome news. hes got nothing left to prove to anyone and the Giants are in BIG trouble defensively this season.

LOL. No biggy...I just totally misread it. I can see what you meant now. Still chuckling a little too.

So you're still gonna be a Stewart fan even after the move away from JGR?
