So, big news on the Giants front other than a thoroughly wonderful showing in the NFL draft. This, of course, is the yearly discussion of "will he, won't he," meaning the lovely ESPN harping on whether or not Michael Strahan (lovingly referred to as "the Gap" in my family) will be back again this season. I, for one, thought he was looking amazing at the end of the season, and the Giants would love to keep his leadership in the locker room. Personally, I think he's holding out so he doesn't need to go through the beating that is Coach Coughlin's training camp. Plus, he's been with the team for a ridiculously long time (did I hear 16 years somewhere???) and he's kinda deserved a nice long break. I hope he's back...and I hope he's working out on his own time so he's in shape come Sept. 4.
"The Catch" - Tyree/Eli play that made the Super Bowl (yes, I was jumping up and down throughout the last drive and literally screamed when I saw that he made that catch...and Belichek called his wife to tell her to put the babies on the stove for when he gets home), but the WR position seems so up in the air for next season, I'm wondering if Tyree's gonna get a spot. I'm afraid that if he does, then Hixon's out (but I really don't want to give up his kick returner amazingness) for the 08 season. Of course, Plax is in...as is Toomer, whose time will be spent mentoring the troubled, but amazing Mario Manningham through the NYC craziness.
Basically, I'm just excited for the 08 season and am going through some serious NFL withdrawal. 9/04/08 can't come soon enough!!!
