Loading ...Ex-New York Giants safety C.C. Brown took a thinly veiled shot at Giants QB Eli Manning this week, calling New York’s QB erratic. Here we go again.
Brown made headlines earlier this season when he criticized everyone from the Giants coaching staff, to his ex-fellow teammates and even the New York media in branding him as a scapegoat for the Giants defensive meltdowns last year. With Brown’s Detroit Lions team coming to town this week, he’s got Eli on his mind.
In an article on Freep.com, Brown is quoted as saying:
Now, first things first: did Brown say anything right there any of us haven’t said before? Absolutely not.
But – and here’s the real key – should Brown be yapping at all after the season he had as a Giant last year? Absolutely not.
Last season, Brown was much more consistent than Manning. And by that, I mean he was consistently bad.
The mistakes have apparently continued for Brown in Detroit. After a loss to the Vikings earlier this month, the Free Press wrote Brown, who is playing with a fractured forearm was “burned on the (Matt) Forte and (Adrian) Peterson plays, blew coverage on (Percy) Harvin’s 24-yard touchdown catch in last week’s loss to the Vikings, and had an easy interception bounce off his casted arm against the Eagles.”
Ahhhhhhh good old Can’t Cover Brown…

Can’t Cover Brown is making my fantasy football decisions hard… I don’t know who to start as wr now steve smith or mario manningham (my other wrs are amendola, boldin, and wallace) and i have 3 wr and a flex…. oh can’t cover you make this hard (unfortunately my opponent has hakeem nicks)
ohh sorry to hear, I would go with Smith more likely to see action.
So Matt Dodge is handling kickoffs Sunday? Should be a wild ride.
Hey you never know, the ball might find its way into the end zone. I’m more concerned about what they’ll do if Tynes can’t kick field goals.
actually this kinda excites me his leg is so strong i see no reason why he couldn’t boot it at least 5 yards into the end zone consistently
An interview with a Lions Blogger…
http://gmenhq.com/2010/10/15/interviewing-the-enemy/
Highlights:
“The Lions were severely lacking at the safety spot next to Louis Delmas and they took a quantity over quality approach this off-season with a limited talent pool to work with. C.C. Brown was the guy that emerged as the best of those limited options.”
Quantity over QUALITY and Doo Doo comes out on top! He doesn’t even start, he splits time with Amari Spievey.
This guy is the worse.

Dodge was a kickoff specialist in college, so he’s confident if he’s needed. Only attempted 1 FG and 1 XP in college, though. #NYG 2 minutes ago via ÜberTwitter

Simon,
I’m guessing that Ralph V. must be one of your professors in journalism school as this piece was straight out his playbook.
Are the utterances of a fifth-rate safety really this newsworthy? Sure, they make great fodder for the gang here in the peanut gallery and no doubt warrant a throwaway gag line or two in the comments section.
But an entire article? C’mon, dude… you’re better than that. And it’s not even as if this were a slow news day in Giantland given the news that Tynes has “an ankle” (in coachspeak) and that Dodge could be tasked with kickoff duties. That’s a potentially huge development and one that’s far more worthy of discussion than some sour grapes comments from the Ed Whitson of the Giants.
And boom….UPDATE UP TOP UPDATE UP TOP…
I don’t understand how someone who coined the nick name Can’t Cover can have such a big mouth and we’re actually talking about it. Give me a break. CC couldn’t do squat in NY and is the bottom of the barrel that the Lions had to pick from.
