Loading ...With the general lack of news and rumors, coupled with a busy weekend and a few sick writers, G101 has fallen into a bit of a lull recently. We apologize for the short down time and can assure you we’ll be right back to the daily grind starting tomorrow.
For now, however, I’d like to catch you up on some of the recent Big Blue tidbits.
Jeff Feagles, Big Blue a wall
The New York Giants and Hall of Fame caliber punter Jeff Feagles have hit a wall during their contract discussions, according to someone with knowledge of the situation. This person also claimed the two “aren’t seeing eye-to-eye” and are very far off on a new contract.
Feagles’ agent, Steve Weinberg, says his client plans to play next season, but would not confirm nor deny contract negations with Big Blue.
“Jeff fully intends to play this year and maybe beyond that,” Weinberg said. “He’s training hard, working hard and he plans to continue his career in the National Football League.”
Feagles, on the other hand, admits negotiations are ongoing and believe he will return in 2010.
“It’s just taking a little bit of time,” Feagles told The New York Post. “It will all work itself out.”
Giants Sign Australian-Rules Punter
As a plan B, the New York Giants announced they have signed former Australian-rules punter Jy Bond.
Terms of the contract have not been released.
Flozell Adams Rule Could be Forthcoming
I’d rather not waste too much time on this pile, but I do want to share with Giants fans that a rule change may be coming as a result of Flozell Adams’ blatant cheap shot on Justin Tuck in early December.
D.J Ware & Scott Chandler Sign Tenders
Both running back D.J Ware and tight end Scott Chandler have signed their one-year tenders and will remain with the Giants for the 2010-11 season.
John Mara Supports Overtime Rule Change
Overtime rules have always been a hot topic amongst team owners and fans. Now…it may be something that could soon change.
New York Giants co-owner John Mara is one of the men in support of said change.
“I still think it’s an uphill battle because you have to get 24 votes to change it,” Mara said. “I don’t know if there are enough people around the league willing to change the current system.”
Sean Lee Will Visit Big Blue
According to Bob Flounder of The Patriot-News, soon-t0-be rookie linebacker Sean Lee (Penn State) will hold a workout for the New York Giants.
“I think each time that I work out, I prove that I’m healthy and 100 percent,” said the 6-2, 239-pound Lee, who has workouts scheduled with Atlanta, Dallas, Arizona, the New York Giants and Indianapolis.
“I think I’ve shown that I can come back from an injury. … It’s a big concern and it should be. I haven’t been healthy for the last two years.
“But now I think I’m training a little bit differently, kind of gearing more toward the weaknesses in my body, I think I’ve made some big strides.”
22 Days Until Stadium Opens to Public
In just 22 days, the brand new $1.7 billion Meadowland complex will finally be open to the public.
The most interesting figure? The old stadium was 900,000 square feet. The new stadium? Just about 2,000,000 square feet.

I’m not buying that Mock..No way The Raiders/ Browns / Dolphins make those picks..Also dont See Haden falling that far nor do I see Dan Williams making it past all those 3-4 teams in the teens and lasting to Dallas. Miami will grab him if he is there. Also dont think McClain goes at 11 after the Crohens thing and while I like Spoon going to NYG, 15 is too early, too much of a reach..
Saw the post by FF55 and totaly agree. No way will Mays fall to the second round.
However if he does, he would be worth JR going after. He is one of the more flexable
players in the entire draft. With that type of speed and help on his coverage technique (which even Hayden will need) this kid could be a living nightmare. He will almost certianly re-define what a “Box” safety can do.
The real ugly thought is what someone like Spags could do with him. All it will take is a D-coordinator with some imagination.
Without that he will only become the most feared hitter at that position since Jack Tatum. And that is saying something, believe me.
Mark this down, he has already re-defined the term of “another linebacker” as applied to the SS position. Just be showing up at 6’3″ 230 and a sub 4.5 fourty yard dash. In the military that’s called a “Stinger Missile” ……heat seeker with a chip on his shoulder to boot.
Those comparisions to Roy Williams? Dont even think about it.
Here’s a cute list. Check out the third ranked safety…among other things……..
