Giants trade a 5th rounder in 2011 and a 2012 conditional pick for Sage Rosenfels.  That is a little rich, but the Giants really had little choice once Sorgi went down.  Of Leinart and Rosenfels, the Giants certainly got the better QB.  He's a good player, fits with the Giants.  This move had to be done because Bomar was not ready.  Bomar still needs to be groomed.  Show him patience and make him the #3 QB.

In the deal the Vikings threw in a punt/kick returner.  This guy was Harvin's backup. 

Plenty of upticks from the gmen last night.  Last Sunday, when we reviewed the tape of the Ravens game, we pointed out that "it was not a great effort overall but the Giants will play better than this too."  The Giants played better.

The final preseason game takes place this evening at PSL Stadium.  We visited with blogger Derek Hanson at Foxboro Blog for a little Q&A exchange.

I love Big Blue.  And I see too many problems with this team.

Yesterday, Ralph Vacchiano drew the parallels from what he saw on Saturday night vs the Ravens with what the Giants delivered in 2009. 

The gmen did not look good in their "dress rehearsal" loss to the Ravens.  A review of the tape lessens the negative view.  Our weakness at LBer in coverage is something every team will target. It was not a great effort overall but the Giants will play better than this too.      

An ugly preseason exhibition for the NY Giants, as the gmen did not look good in their "dress rehearsal" loss to the Ravens.

The Giants play the Ravens in Baltimore tonight.  This is usually the big tuneup for the first string players.

The inevitable has arrived. The Commissioner of the NFL announced an 18 game schedule beginning in 2011 or 2012. This is about money pure and simple. It is going to make a farce out of the game even more than the insane salaries the teams are paying now.  The bill will come due at the expense of the fans and the game.
