Steve Smith = Tough Sell

And BOOM goes the dynamite.

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed former New York Giant receiver Steve Smith to a one year deal. I am honestly flabbergasted by this one. These guys (Steve Smith, Kevin Boss and Plaxico Burress) must REALLY hate Eli Manning and/or REALLY hate Tom Coughlin. That is the only excuse I can come up with to explain the complete disinterest these players have shown in joining the G-Men for the 2011 season.

The owners, Jerry Reese and Tom Coughlin seriously need to get their acts together before this football team implodes. If I see Steve Smith OR Plaxico Burress make a game winning catch against the Giants this year, I might just lose it. If I see Michael Clayton drop a pass at wide out or Jonathan Goff miss a tackle at linebacker, I may shell up and never speak again.

This summer has been dreadful for the Giants. I almost wish the lockout had continued and wiped the whole season out so that I wouldn't have to witness what may now be a lock for a disappointing year. With the Eagles adding solid player after solid player, the Giants might as well give up on free agency, save their money, play for a high draft pick and hope for better luck next year.

Never thought I would know what it felt like to be a Met fan, but the way things are going with the Giants right now, I must be pretty close.
