Giants vs Jets Preseason

Every two years, when the Giants are the home team, I get to go to this game and it’s usually a fun event even though both teams are usually dreadful. This was a weird one. I thought Tim Hasselbeck’s collision with Mike Cloud in the end zone, which led to a dropped ball and Jets TD, was sort of pathetic for two Boston College guys BUT Jesse Palmer’s lateral to, well, NOBODY was even better as the ball rolled into the end zone for another Jet TD.

On the plus side Jay Feely could probably get elected mayor after five field goals including a 51 yarder and a 54 yarder. So Jay, what the heck were you doing down there covering kick-offs and making tackles? Let the big guys handle that Jay, protect that leg dude.

Weirdness, that’s what makes football so entertaining. You never know what’s going to happen on the next play. That’s what I like about the game.

What I don’t like about the game are 350 pound linemen. Sheesh, I remember when 280 lbs. was considered HUGE and someone topping 300 lbs. was a rarity to say the least. Now 300 lbs. is common and 350 lbs. is not unheard of. I don’t think God ever intended the human body to carry 300 lbs. That can’t be healthy.
