The Giants were thought to have Steeler LB Kendrell Bell in their sights, even had him in for a physical today, but jumped at the opportunity to grab Pierce. Great signing by the Giants!
I bumped into Kareem McKenzie's father in the elevator at my office (his father is a security guard for the company) a few months ago. This was right after the Pro Bowl squads were announced and he was complaining that Kareem should have been selected. (I think he just wanted a trip to Hawaii .) I knew of Kareem from his HS days at Willingboro HS (not far from where I live) and his college days at Penn St. I keep hoping to see the elder McKenzie again so I can rip his son's choice of playing for the enemy Giants.
The only way the Giants will be better is if Plax lives up to the potential that he's being billed as having. Otherwise, the Giants WR corps will continue to suck.
So now the Giants have Eli Manning, Tim Hasselbeck (have they got some kind of brother complex? ), Jared Lorenze, Jesse Palmer and Jim Miller. That's just weird.
"Given his youth and the fact that the Giants want a veteran presence to aid Manning, it seems as if Hasselbeck is on the scene to provide competition for Palmer, as one of those two would likely get the first call if Manning ever went down."
Burress goin' to (white-collar) jail? From "The REAL Feed":
NFL ROUNDUP: Burress faces arrest over tax claim FREEP: Football (28.05.2005 07:43) PITTSBURGH -- New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress failed to pay part of his taxes, according to a collection agency. A district judge issued an arrest warrant for Burress on Thursday after he failed to appear at a delinquent tax claim hearing Wednesday.
Burress cleared. He didn't owe any taxes after all.
"He paid where he worked, it was taken right out of his paycheck by the Steelers and paid over to the city of Pittsburgh," Potter said yesterday. "He's paid every penny he owed. The municipality he lived in three or four years ago thought he should be paying tax there. He shouldn't have been paying tax there. It was a mistake that they came after him for these taxes."
Article on the Giants depth at offensive line. A weakness last season, this year it should be a strength that will help Eli develop and will help Tiki as well.
