Strahan then proceeded to rip an ESPN reporter today for asking negative questions. He said he doesn't talk until Thursday but then came out to talk to her and was an ass.

Coughlin is worthless.  He can't keep a team in line on or off the field.

NFL.com wire reports



EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (Dec. 2, 2006) -- The New York Giants signed 44-year-old punter Sean Landeta as insurance because it is uncertain if Jeff Feagles can play because Dec. 3 of a knee injury in the NFC East showdown against Dallas.

Landeta played on both of the Giants' Super Bowl championship teams under Bill Parcells, who now coaches the Cowboys.

The 40-year-old Feagles hopes to play in his 300th consecutive NFL game Sunday. He is set to join Atlanta's Morten Anderson (361), Gary Anderson (353), George Blanda (340) and Jerry Rice (303) as the only players in NFL history to appear in 300 games.

"My knee is sore and I had it treated," Feagles said, "I have every intention of being able to play tomorrow."

If he can't, Landeta will punt for the Giants for the first time since 1993. He played for the Giants between 1985-93. Last season, he appeared in five games for the Philadelphia Eagles and had an average of 38.3 yards.

Feagles and Landeta are the two most prolific punters in NFL history. They are 1-2 in all the major statistical categories.

To make room for Landeta, the Giants waived defensive tackle Lance Legree.

Lance Legree got cut so the team can add a second punter.  Ha.

Skins cut a DT too so they could add a second kicker...

[Sgt PSN]

Just thinking the same thing.  How bad do you have to suck to get cut from the Giants D-line to make room for a 2nd punter?....considering that they've got almost no depth and a couple of injuries.

STINKO STIFFS PAYTON

Jay Glazer of FOX reports that Bengals receiver Chad Johnson a/k/a Ocho Cinco a/k/a Ocho Stinko has stuck Saints coach Sean Payton with the tab for 10 tickets, at $160 each.

Johnson called Payton out of the blue and asked Payton for a favor prior to the Bengals' November 19 game against the Saints at the Superdome.  The receiver requested the best seats possible from the Saints head coach, who didn't know Johnson and had never spoken to him previously.

Johnson woke Payton up with a text message in the early morning hours of game day regarding the tickets.  Payton came through.  Two weeks later, however, Johnson still hasn't paid Payton the $1,600.

Nice one, Chad.  Now pay the man, please.

He probably thought they were free. He's an athlete who gets countless things compted and done for him, despite his wealth and social status.

I found this entertaining (from this week's ESPN Power Rankings)

Look, Mike Williams is hardly a model citizen, but it seems a little harsh to punk him out by playing backup QB Josh McCown at receiver. For the record McCown now has two catches to Williams' one this season.

LeCharles Bentley could be toast for 2007 as well.

Bentley update:

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reported that Browns center LeCharles Bentley is contemplating another surgery on his reconstructed left knee -- one that would sideline him for the 2007 season. Bentley underwent surgery on July 28 to repair a torn patellar tendon suffered on the first contact drill of camp. He then had a staph infection surgically removed and lost at least 10 pounds. The Browns declined to comment on the report.
