Barkley to the Giants

Wasn’t there a longstanding relationship between Joe Paterno and Wellington Mara? It appears the Mara heirs know and draft “people of character”
Not familiar with the relationship between JVP and Mr. Mara, but Joe was tight with legendary NFL GM Ernie Accorsi. Accorsi was SID at Penn State for the undefeated '68-69 teams and went from there to the Colts (and Lydell Mitchell).

Ernie was Giants GM for the Kareem McKenzie/Brandon Short era.

Thanks. I hope you get that Achilles repaired and take “disability time off” :)

Thanks PPB. Tomorrow is the big day. If I croak on the table I'll go with my last game being a Penguins win!

Ernie Accorsi also brought in a backup QB to the G-Men, dude had major ups and downs at his first stop, but did all right for the NYG. Some cat named Collins IIRC.

Everyone offers cheap, high quality jerseys. Only Gambit Worldwide Enterprises offers expensive, poor quality jerseys." Why pay less? Remember our new slogan: "If you got the cash, we got the trash."
Everybody knows that the more expensive it is the better it is!
 
Love it. The New York Giants are now my favorite NFL team. Saquon and OBJ should be something to see playing together.

Here's one more reason the NFL can be annoying. The Giants wanted to draft Barkley right away (because there knew they wanted him so, why delay). But they had to wait five minutes because of an NFL rule. The NFL can't even let the draft unfold naturally. They have to manage everything.

The Browns took almost their entire time to pick Mayfield even though they've been on the clock for four months. The team with the 1st overall pick in the draft should get only five minutes, not ten. And the teams that get ten minutes should be allowed to pick right away if they want to.

Franklin on GMFB. . .

Good video. I love Franklin. He is proud of how the players have conducted themselves the past five years and where the program is headed. Of course, he should be. I will take this opportunity to remember that the program has always been a source of pride. Grated, Franklin didn't disparage the past. He simply said nothing about it. He also is not required to. It is up to us to remember our great past and continue to take pride in it.

Success With Honor. Then, now, always.

Don't forget Evan Engram and Sheppard. That teams has multiple weapons.
I expect them to go OL early in the second (Hernandez/Daniels). Then they have two early third round picks....a pass rusher and a WR or another OL make a lot of sense. Honestly think it could be a fit for Hamilton. I wouldn't rule out them taking Kyle Lauletta as their QB of the future...hopefully not Rudolph.
