Even though the game was on too late for my liking, I watched the whole Giants game last night. The Giants looked good, but the Cowboys looked better. Not too bad of a game for Eli, though I still think he doesn’t have “it” – whatever “it” is these days. He did show some leadership potential, though, and I credit him for those qualities.
All in all, the team played well. A few mistakes here and there, but that’s to be expected (come on, it’s the Giants – we can’t expect perfection!). If they play a little bit better each week, then I think we have a great second half of the season ahead of us, but that remains to be seen.
One of the downers yesterday had to do with Tiki Barber, though. As one of my roommates said last night, the man really just talks too much shit on the Giants. Last night on Sports Final with Mike Francesca (who ought to be ashamed of the what he said about the Jets fans yesterday), Tiki blatantly stated that he’s employed by Dick Ebersol and that he’s using this controversy to launch himself from football into his next career.
That may fly in other sports and other professions, but it’s not going to work in football. Here’s hoping that the Giants get a little bit better each week and that Tiki learns some couth (some in his new profession might call it gravitas) and stops bashing the Giants.
