    Greatest New York athlete of all-time?

    Make the threads, peeps. I'll vote :grinyes:
  2. By Matt Williamson, Scouts Inc. Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson examines the biggest weakness of each NFC East team and offers some potential solutions. Outside of the ball-hawking Asante Samuel, the Eagles are extremely light at corner. The Eagles gave up a whopping 31 touchdown passes last season. Ellis Hobbs will retire, but the Eagles are set with their nickelback in Joselio Hanson. They really need to a find a starter. Depth here isn’t bad. Trevard Lindley could step up as he matures, and Dimitri Patterson has starting experience. But when Patterson is on the field, the offense targets him. Obviously, the free-agent corner everyone is thinking about is Nnamdi Asomugha. Hey, I can’t argue with adding a truly elite cover man like Asomugha. But wow, is he going to be expensive. It is easy for me to spend the owner’s money -- and who knows what is going to happen with the salary cap. Asomugha will turn 30 in July; Samuel will turn 30 during the 2011 season. The next best option would be the Bengals' Johnathan Joseph, who would be a big upgrade opposite Samuel. Joseph still has upside. He is very gifted but needs to stay healthy. Pittsburgh’s Ike Taylor and the Jets' Antonio Cromartie are well-known players, but Taylor could be starting to decline slightly and is older than Samuel while Cromartie doesn’t like to tackle. Still, either player would help immediately. Baltimore has two corners who played well last year -- Chris Carr and Josh Wilson. The Eagles probably wouldn’t have to break the bank on either, and Wilson in particular is quite intriguing. Although I have a hunch that Andy Reid will use the 23rd selection in the first round on an offensive lineman like Florida’s Mike Pouncey or Wisconsin’s Gabe Carimi, there are three corners worth considering with that pick. Colorado’s Jimmy Smith is the most physically gifted, and Aaron Williams from Texas has excellent size. However, the player I would target is Miami’s Brandon Harris. In fact, Harris is such a good fit that I would consider moving up to assure that he became the Eagles’ property. Source: ESPN

    We have 16 current members. I'm thinking around 8-10 people would play. If I am able to make it a turbo, it would almost be like a sit-and-go, which wouldn't take long at all. Bay knows what I'm talking about with regard to SNG's.

    Depends on how many people we get, how many starting chips we have etc. But when I take those things into account, I'm guessing the longest would be a few hours at the most. I think I can also make it a turbo, which would speed up the dealing and whatnot.

    Might do this for more states. There would be some tough choices, for sure....

    I made one for tonight at 10 pm Eastern. I don't think it will take too long, if anyone is worried.

    Good fucking grief....
  15. Jerry is a cunt. If he was trying to intimidate anyone with this move in this story (if it's true), he failed miserably.
  16. By Matt Williamson, Scouts Inc. Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williamson examines the biggest weakness of each NFC East team and offers some potential solutions. After a rich tradition at the position, the Giants have lacked star power at linebacker for some time now. If New York is to address its linebacking corps, I think they have to take the theory of going big -- with a real difference-maker -- or not bothering at all. They could really use a game changer on the second level. Jonathan Goff was great versus the run, and Michael Boley played the pass quite well, but both players could potentially take their respective games up yet another level with a stud to round out the starting three. I had high hopes for Clint Sintim, but he hardly saw the field and then finished the season on injured reserve after a serious knee injury. Maybe there is still hope, though. Keith Bulluck is a free agent, and his time in the league is coming to an end. I consider Mathias Kiwanuka more defensive end than linebacker, but it seems unlikely that he will be re-signed. Goff is best in the middle and as a two-down player, but he could be effective outside as well if New York were to sign a free agent like Tennessee’s Stephen Tulloch or Buffalo’s Paul Posluszny. But adding an outside linebacker is the more logical move. No one seems to be projecting it, but a sleeper first-round pick for the Giants could be Illinois’ Martez Wilson. Wilson could be exactly the type of versatile and dynamic guy New York needs. To me, Wilson best fits as a outside linebacker in the Giants’ scheme and could be moved all over the formation, including maybe putting his hand on the ground off the edge on throwing downs at times. His pass-rush ability is very intriguing. UCLA’s Akeem Ayers could be that type of player as well, but I wouldn’t take him unless the Giants were to trade down from their spot in Round 1. In the second round, North Carolina’s Bruce Carter could provide a major athletic upgrade on the outside. The Giants could get by without a huge upgrade at linebacker, and it could be argued that the offensive line is the bigger weakness, but just imagine this defense if you added a real difference-maker to the second level.
