R-E-S-P-E-C-T

After week 7, I do believe the word "respect" is the best way to sum up the Gmen and 'Skins games. Aye-yi-yi! I must admit there was not a dull moment in that game and RGIII has completely earned my respect! My grandfather was a huge Redskins fan back in the day, and I remember sitting with him as a little girl watching Doug Williams play. Needless to say my grandfather would've been proud of the acquisition of the 'Skins new weapon of mass destruction! That youngin is going to be a thorn in the NFC East for years to come. But then again, we are the NFC East and stiff competition should be the norm! So I welcome the red-headed step children of the NFC East back to the ranks of worthiness of being apart of the division for more than just sweeping the New York Giants pre-RGIII last season.

 

Doubt Brings Them Out

Week 6 action was fantastic! Let's start with the most important game of the week, drum roll please...the Gmen and the Niners. The Niners went into week 6 heavily favored over the Gmen and heavily praised for past performances. This was to be the rematch to the playoffs "L" the Gmen handed them last season. Revenge was the gameplan, yada, yada, yada, the Niners were chosen for the win. Needless to say the Gmen always play better with a chip on their shoulder and they showed up and showed out in this game. As much as I hate the fact that NFL analysts don't "coo" and "awwww" over my squad like others *coughs the Pats* and *sneezes anybody else*, I always get nervous if we are ever heavily favored. Playing from behind seems to bring the Gmen out! Sort of letting the analysts know that their talk will not define Gmen play! YOU GO BOYS!!!

Confession: I was looking for an excuse to throw up an old T.I. song

Welcome to REAL New York Giants Football

Well week 5 is a thing of the past, but it's truly not over until I give my recap. Well, honestly, it's over when the Thursday night game kicks off the new week, but in Sporty's world it's not through until I give you my two cents.

Week 5 had the Browns against my Gmen at home. Were the Gmen ready to protect their house? The opening drive got me nauseous early on with the early turnover on the first drive and the Browns back to back touchdowns early in the quarter. I never declare defeat until the end, but truth be told my neck and shoulders started to tense up at that point. I wasn't expecting an easy game, but I also didn't expect all of that so early. Needless to say, we've all heard the motto it's not how you start, it's how you finish. Finish my Gmen did, and quite nicely I must add 41 to 27. A rocky start ended in a GIANT finish. Now is a great time to shout out Sporty's Real G's for week 5. A big shout out to Ahmad Bradshaw for 200, yes 200, rushing yards!!! This my friend is where the title for this week comes from, that's real New York Giants football bay-beee! Yard for yard, pound for pound on the ground. It even makes me emotional as I recap. Mega rushing yards are always a beautiful thing! Next shout out is a double dose, Stevie Brown and Chason Black for their in-ter-freakin-cep-tions! Defense getting the ball back is always a wonderful sight to behold! Last but not least, I want to shout out Mr. Three TDs, Mr. Salsa King himself, Victor Cruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuz! I hadn't enjoyed that much salsa without chips in awhile!

CHEERS TO WEEK 5 !!!!!

Drama Must Have Its Moment

First and foremost, let's recap my Gmen's game against the Eagles last week. Might as well not let it linger, just get it over with. Even in the NFL, drama must have it's moment. Of course I'm talking on the field, not off. It was the battle of the 2 and 1(s) of the NFC East. With my Gmen, the Eagles (blah), and the Cowboys (yuck) in a three way tie. Who would break out on Sunday night and lead the East? Of course, as far as I was concerned, it would be my Gmen. Unfortunately a very well known road was traveled that night. Whenever the Gmen and Eagles go heads up a barf bag is not too far away from me! Shall we flashback for a minute?

This game hit a new match up low and was hard to shake in 2010. Truthfully I still cringe to this day! I was so stunned I was numb. After it wore off I felt for Dodge, it was so much more than just a bad punt kick decision. It was sloppy special teams all around! It was actually sloppy Giants play throughout the game. Unfortunately he put the icing on the cake. I thought for sure Coach Coughlin was going to catch a case though! Wooooo-saaaaah!
