Mark Madden of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette has a story today about what a bunch of whiners the New York Giants are for complaining that new head coach Tom Coughlin is too demanding (and this is only minicamp). I often disagree with a lot of what Madden says because he says things that are usually inflammatory, if for no other reason than to get a reaction out of people.
Well his story today is both accurate and pretty funny (I know I've never said that about a Madden article):
"Besides whining about Coughlin, the Giants' vets have their knickers in a twist over the departure of QB Kerry Collins. They apparently felt that a hot Collins...could have lifted the Giants from 4-12 to playoff contention. I'm not sure Y.A. Tittle in his prime could do that with these softies.He goes on to make fun of Eli Manning and make the often overlooked point that even though the Steelers were awful last season, you never heard one player, coach or front office type complain about any of the millions of things you can complain about when you win six games. I guess there's something to be said for that -- unless the Steelers go 6-10 again this season.
Then there's the potential addition of Bible-thumping Kurt Warner and his wife to the mix. Deliver us from evil, indeed.
Don't leave out mega-redneck Jeremy Shockey, who has been seen in the company of Paris Hilton. You can never study too much film. If Cowher considered the situation in NY, NY...he wouldn't begrudge Plaxico Burress a few days off. Maybe Plex is with Raul Mondesi."
