And drafting the father of his daughters baby (not son-in-law...) smacks of poor headwork and nepotism. How the heck can he ever cut the guy?
Tiki Barber fumbles more than he scores, the o-line is horrible.....
Can't wait to play 'em!

Though Leftwich wasn't on the Jags when Coughlin was there, you're absolutely right about Coughlin's desire for Manning. It's also the reason Manning wanted to be in NY rather than SD - Schottenheimer will have had three years to improve the Chargers, and it's unlikely they'll be measurably better than last year. That means a new coach in SD, so Manning would get a new system, wasting his rookie season.
In defense of the Giants, Chris Snee (my grand-baby's daddy) is a solid prospect, and among the best interior linemen in the draft this year. He wasn't a reach, but it will be awkward at the dinner table after he (inevitably) gets chewed out.
