What Do You Think About This...................
On the NFL Pre-game they reported that NY Giant players were fined for showing up for team meetings EARLY..........Is Coughlin insane....
Aren't you glad we have Joe Gibbs.......... |

Tom Coughlin believes that everything has to be done exactly the way he says they are to be done. So being early for a meeting is not good because that was not the time you were supposed to be there.
It is hard to defend that point of view, but that's the way he is. The Giants tried to hire him about five or six years ago so the ownership there knew what they were getting. Good luck to them...

it's always nice to see teams falling apart from within the week before you play them.

Coughlin will have a hard time getting through to those players in this manner. I could see being late but strahan was two minutes early and got fined. I dont know if anyone else watched Fox pregame show yesterday with the new segemant Terrys Ten yards or something like that. He asked questions to Strahan and one of them was Fassil or Coughlin and Strahan did not want to answer, why because he and the rest of the players want Fassil back. Oh yeah and he said he does not wear underware something about free Willy.....hahahaha

Coughlin is riding a very fine line between completely losing the team or winning them over. We saw a similiar situation with Marty, we had to hit rock bottom before the team responded and I think the Giants are headed down the same road.
