The NFC Least Week 2

The NFL’s 2015 season started with low expectations from Giant fans. Many were surprised the Giants did not get blown out by the Cowboys or the Falcons for that matter. With a 0-2 start some fans are surprisingly more optimistic now than they were in August. They realize the G-men could have won both of them. In the season opener against the Cowboys it was two horrible calls by the NFL Officials that gave the win to the Cowboys and not the amateurish game time management by two time Superbowl MVP Eli Manning and future Hall of Famer Coach Tom Coughlin. The NFL in the spirit of transparency admitted as much. Check the article on Big Blue Interactive the best Giants fan site out there.

The loss in the final minutes to the Falcons this past Sunday Week 2, shows this team is able to be competitive. There is hope and some evidence the G-men can start winning especially when Jason "Boom-Boom" Pierre-Paul returns to the field.

Speaking of "Boom Boom", the Firecracker himself has found himself on a field with doctors and lawyers. An environment that never never bodes well for professional athletes.

Boom Boom’s first issue is not with the Giants but with, of all people, George Lucas. This summer the Giants star defensive end abruptly changed his name to JB2P2. Almost immediately after the new name was announced, George Lucas filed grievance for copyright infringement.  Apparently a new character JB2P2C-30 is a next gen C-3PO droid recently introduced in the Star Wars franchise.

The second issue has lawyers representing Boom-Boom discussing the explosive player’s options regarding the opinions of his personal doctors, the Giants team doctors and NFL doctors. The doctors are unable to concur on providing a medical clearance allowing the defensive end to return to the field. Doctors argue over Boom-Boom's Football health.

The NFL has begun to express concern about the health and safety of Chip Kelly. Chippee's bold off season talent acquisitions had many cheese-steak heads expecting the ever elusive Vince Lombardy trophy to finally be lifted in Philly. No doubt they will drop that on Broad St the same as they did the nations famous bell centuries ago. But not all Eagle fans fell for this happy trap. Some especially those who, for whatever 'weird' reason have migrated to the Southern Californian area of Huntington Beach have kept their emotions in check. Those wise fans have learned from the football gods over the years to never get too high and never get too low before during and after a season. At the same time maintain always enough credit card miles to purchase last minute airline tickets in the event Philly does manage to host a ticket tape parade. Granted it is only week 2 so the Eagles can still right the ship. But another couple weeks of this anemic offensive performance and the NFL may have to provide a security team to protect Kelly from fans in the City of Brotherly love. Will this army of Jack Torrance's wandering the streets of Philly be a threat to Chip

The Cowboys and the NFL as we previously mentioned barely defeated the Giants in Week One. Yesterday against the Eagles their offense looked even worse holding a 6-0 lead in the third quarter. The Mariners scored more against the Texas Rangers Sunday afternoon. Although the 'Boys held on to win they lost Tony Romo for 10 weeks. The Cowboys have the best rated offensive line in the league but now they don’t have a quarterback. If only they drafted Johnny Football when they had the chance.  It is going to be a tough 10 weeks for Dallas fans.

Finally for this week’s NFL Least wrap up, the Washington Redskins, the name so offensive to so many. We will just refer to them as the Redskins so as not to offend. Sitting at 1-1 the Redskins are in the best shape to take advantage of the current NFL Least situation.  With a couple wins in a row they can jump to a multi game lead in the East. This Thursday they take on the Giants in a short week for both teams.

The Pope is scheduled to arrive at Edwards Air force Base this Tuesday. He will meet with the President Wednesday and on Thursday will speak at a joint-meeting of Congress before visiting St Patrick’s cathedral. From the cathedral the pontiff is scheduled to visit a homeless shelter in Arlington before walking over to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch his Giants take on the Redskins. Pope Francis has stated “A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold but eating Mango Haberno Buffalo Wings makes it a little warmer” Giant fans living in the DC area will be praying the Pope will again be wearing his giants hat and can vindicate the poor choices of Eli Manning.

The New York Football Giants lost their first 2 games before going on to win the Superbowl in 2008.
