Read in the news about a fraternity at Penn State being suspended/expelled from the school cause of some bad behavior. Would that have been your college frat JJ? LOL

This aint the thread for that! But no sir, I was never in a frat, (f**k that LOL

) though "fun" fact during my time there one was already on thin ice after a kid was found dead, last known to have left a party they had. Freshman, who's BAC was still way over the limit like 2 days later. Other frats are racist, ours kills people, or other schools have football scandals where they buy players and ours....well yeah, always #1 I guess Cry

I've heard so far they were experimenting with Flowers at left, Schwarz and Pugh at Guard, Richburg at Center of course and Newhouse at right (I forgot the Giants got him (though the Packers O line has generally not been great so I'm nervous))

Also the Giants injury bug continues, Robert Ayers got hurt on the very first snap of non contact OTAs. What the f**k man seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Hope it's not too bad, he was a good pass rusher for us.

Good...keep Pugh inside. Hopefully Newhouse can be capable enough to get the job done. I wonder if he has any experience at Left tackle.

And what the f**k...can the Giants have one off season workout without injuries...it's not even mini-camps yet...

Ah well good news, it seems results show there is no serious injury to Ayers' knee and leg, and sounds like the two months until training camp will be plenty of time to heal up.

Good because with Kiwi being released, and a very good year last season, I think he was going to be the DE opposite JPP.

Also, just for kicks, this is, believe it or not, Chris Snee now Shocked

A little bit of trivia for Ravens' fans. Edison's Children's US touring drummer:

• CHRIS MACK

He will be joined on the song "Stranger In A Foreign Land" by Drummer Chris Mack who has taken over as the live drummer for United States shows. Chris Mack is a member of one of prog-rock's greatest bands "Iluvatar" who have opened for Marillion in years past and is one of Eric Blackwood's favorite bands. Chris Mack has another job as well... if you are watching the NFL's Baltimore Ravens and you hear the drum marching the team to victory across the grid iron... THAT is Chris Mack! Chris is the on-field drummer for the Raven's franchise.

I hope I can get into the season this year. Lately my fan appreciation and general interest in the NFL has been waning.

I've gotten into NCAA football a lot more. Something about the professional level is leaving me wanting. Not that I've stopped watching or plan to. I just don't have the anticipation of seeing another crappy Titans season roll out like I used to. LOL

I learned long ago that if I'm going to have expectations, I'm going to keep them low. LOL

A wise precaution, particularly in this case. Wink

Had my heart broken too many times when they were the Oilers, and it's continued on through the years.

Yeah...I am always hesitant to make judgments on someone I've not seen play and we know how unpredictable the college to pro transition is, BUT we all know what Oregon is about...and it's the same ol same ol college shenanigans deal that never ever translates well to the NFL (or will need some major work)

Ya never know, but my faith in Mariota is low. Still upset the Eagles didn't give up all the team for him, that would've been awesome LOL

Here's what is not awesome...JPP severely injured his hand setting off fireworks.

I am hesitant to make fun, because rumors are it could be very bad...but, fireworks? And JPP of all people?

Oy vey

Weeeeeeeeeellllllllllll

About that

First, many people seem to saying this is a HIPAA violation, since this was not official from JPP, the Giants, or anyone it was just posted by...someone and ESPN reported it.

Second, what!?!?!?!

Oh JPP

^ Oh JPP!

Well the article I initially read the explosion didn't cause him to lose fingers...this seems to be a choice by him to help the healing process. But this is a true yikes moment.

And this does help explain why he is refusing to talk to/meet with the giants doctors. But it does make me a bit nervous for his future with the team.

Yeah exactly, all the hazy information and weird behavior does make sense now.

I'd say this is a very bad sign, since he had zero contact with anyone and refused all team doctors but IDK...I guess I can understand (well not actually) what on Earth must be going through his mind and is kinda messed up.

I know man, I feel bad for him, but also a bit mad, and don't wanna think about team impact but kind of have to, and just....given how touch and go he's been in recent years with the team this is just the most "UGH REALLY!?" moment imaginable.

EDIT: What the f**k!?

^ Yeah. I suppose he wanted to try and keep the extent of it a secret for as long as he could? Of course, showing up with 9 fingers whenever the hell he does show up would be a dead giveaway.....but yeah...this will bode poorly for a long term contract with the team I suspect. Unless JPP mans up and says my bad and takes a lower contract then he wants/expects. But I doubt it.

And WOW! Two in one weekend?! Boy...what a bad day for digit news...

I was reading an article that said that Mariotta hadn't signed his contract yet because it has a clause in it that he can't surf during the season or during the off-season. Apparently, since he is from Hawaii this is a bit of a deal breaker for him.
