He should try TB’s concussion water. I understand it is much better than what comes out of the tap.

Francesa with solid mini-rant for Giants to trade OBJ for some combination of mouthiness/ingratitude centered on OBJ's father mocking a Mara temper tantrum.

Eli Apple has been traded to New Orleans for a 4th this year and a 7th next year.
Hearing the Eli Apple trade may just be tip of the iceberg. Strong perception among other teams thag the Giants are "open for business' ahead of next week's trade deadline

So long as they keep letting the other Eli start at QB and drive his career record below .500, that sounds fantastic.
I mean, super.
Who else on that roster is both a tradeable asset for cap/roster building purposes and desirable for a team to acquire?
I don’t think they can trade Jenkins or Vernon given the dead money they’d absorb under the cap, and it thins out pretty fast after that.
Connor Barwin?

I'm just thankful they've kept the offense intact, as its clearly designed to run deep into the post-season.
Sterling Shepard only makes 1.3m next year so he should have mid round value
I always felt like he was the player Goodell stole from us over cold-air-gate.
I can't help feeling satisfaction that the Giants brought their current clusterfuck of a situation upon themselves by paying too much homage to the one thing that has been their fans calling card for a decade now--that Eli was HOF-quality, and uniquely so because he beat the vaunted Patriots in 2 SBs.
What makes it doubly satisfying is the organization recognized this trap, but their method of escaping from it was executed so poorly that they were forced to double down on Eli.
Also, the immortal Nick Foles accomplishing the same feat last year as Eli, and without a miracle catch, takes the bloom off that particular rose.

And it gets more awkward still —

So the solution here is pretty obvious:
Eli ... Kurt Warner, remember that guy? Of course. Well now it’s your turn to be him. We’re drafting someone. Be prepared next season at some point to turn over the keys.

Snacks Harrison was traded to the Lions for a 5th round pick. Low compensation, but it rids the Giants of his expensive contract.
Kyle Lauletta was arrested this morning for a traffic dispute with Weehauken, NJ police. He reportedly disobeyed an officer's directions and almost hit the officer with his car.

In his defense, NJ roads and turns are built as stupidly and incoherently as possible.

On #Giants QB Kyle Lauletta’s arrest (first reported by @njdotcom), a Weehawken police source says he hit the gas, ignored cops’ orders to stop, almost hit the cop and another car, cut off other cars and then refused to put his window down or step out of the vehicle.

2018 Halloween Suburban NJ QB jersey recap:
Darnold 3
Eli 1
Brady 1
I felt sorry for Opie I told him I wished instead of a candy bar I could give him an O-line.
His dad snickered.

Eli down to a 112-110 career record... 34-53 since 2013... getting closer to being under .500 for his career.
Just having a little fun
I had one kid come by dressed in a Pats hoodie, pencil stuck behind his ear, a little brusque, but with a bag overflowing with candy.
Seems he picked the Darnold's clean.
Eli Manning has has been sacked 31 times through just eight games which leads the league for the season and is already the second highest season total of his career. He has been sacked on 9% of his drop backs so far this season and ostensibly hit or knocked down on well over 10%. At this rate he will be lucky to get through the season without a significant injury. The Giants offensive line is underperforming but it also seems that Eli is holding the ball for too long.
Correction, he would be lucky to be knocked out so that his career record doesn’t dip below .500
