LOL, yeah I forgot about that. He sometimes gets gone over when talking about Giants Super Bowl Coach's but he was a great Coach. RIP Jim and Thanks!

We would have been much better off if we hired Fassel over Zorn.

I ain't gonna speak ill of the dead, but I don't know that Fassel would've put that team over the top instead of Zorn. It would've been like hiring Jeff Fisher coming off his mediocre Rams run.

RIP anyways.

At the very least he was a legit HC. Zorn was a buffoon and in way over his head. Fassel would have been done in by Vinny anyway so it likely wouldn't have mattered much.

I'm going to put this here but a pretty cool story. If you live in central Maryland and have listened to 105.7 the fan in the mid 20teens you probably heard a kid named Mo call into the show. Mo sadly passed away in 2020 and his story is amazing.

Last night at the Sports Emmy's two productions involving Mo won Emmy's

The 105.7 The Big Mo Gaba Show: https://www.audacy.com/1057thefan/topic/the-big-mo-show I put the link if you want a listen and

The NFL Network: short piece The Gift of Gaba: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROEe4nzXH1c

The video is about 15 minutes long. Definitely worth a watch and a share to some one.

Keep a tissue hand. I'm not crying you're crying.

I loved hearing Mo on the Scott and Jeremy show. Giving his predictions and talking sports. That little guy would have me having happy tears on my ride home from work.

Kid had to deal with a lot and was always happy, you could feel his spirit if that makes sense. Was awesome to see him with the Os players in Camden.

Im going to have to watch this when I get home, already got me watery eyed just seeing his name.

RIP Big Mo

That was awesome.

Thank you for sharing this. It definitely hit me.

I will try to have that kid's attitude each day. Amazing.

Raiders DE Carl Nassib has come out as gay.

Wonder if he's the first active NFL player? I remember somebody did it in the NBA - Jason whatshisname - I'm forgetting because he was more of a reserve than Nassib is.

Nassib must be comfortable with the environment Gruden/Mayock have fostered to come out publicly, good for him. Hope this doesn't turn into some unnecessary drama.

My bad I posted this news before spotting that you already did. Michael Sam came out as gay before the 2014 draft but never played in the regular season.

Eli Manning is getting his jersey retired by the Giants?

I mean I get it, bc two Super Bowls is a worthy accomplishment - but the rest of his non-playoffs career doesn't stack up.

He beat an undefeated New England team at 16-0 and beat them again to win not 1 but 2 Super Bowls. It is an absolute given the Giants would retire his jersey considering he brought them 2 Lombardis.

With 2 Lombardis and 57,000 career passing yards think the Hall will be calling soon- as they should.

The Giants have to retire his number.

I wish we had a QB with 2 that weren't great the other seasons. Still 2 rings.

I always thought he never got enough recognition due to being under Peyton's shadow. He did throw a lot of picks. But, he also had a cannon for an arm and put up lots of yards for a pretty long time. Extremely humble too.
