2 things:
1. It’s Bergen Catholic HIGH School. Get it right, don’t be disrespecting my alma mater.
2. as for Langan supposedly breaking the story, all the B.C. guys knew about this on Monday. A bunch of my friends and I showed up and watched. Amukamara looks good.

The players don’t care about the fans!
The owners don’t care about the fans !
And the media certinitly doesn’t care about the fans!

They ALL care about the fans money!

And the most nervous of the entire group is the media, they have nothing to offer the fans.

They are obligated to talk to the press under the terms of their employment and as a condition to receive their pay. Since they are NOT receiving their pay, they have NO obligation to talk. Given that the average rat has an IQ fifty points higher than the sports media in NYC and that the rat smells better, looks better, is more trustworthy, and knows more about sports, I would say NOT talking to the assclown NY/NJ sportswriters might very well be the greatest lockout perk for the Giants. I hope they continue to enjoy blowing you guys off because as soon as a new CBA is signed you guys will be playing proctologist again and the Giants will have to look back on these days as nothing more than a fond memory.

The media is under the impression they are owed the right to speak with the players whenever they want. I’m an Eagles fan and I’m glad to hear the Giants box the media out.

This has nothing to do with the players and gathering sympathy. The real reason is the media thinks when they say jump, everyone is supposed to ask how high. How dare those players not take the time to acknowledge them.

They just hope you say something stupid so they can report on it, or some hack needs his sports column in by 4:00pm.

They know , as do the fans, that it is only important for the owners and the player’s assoc. reps to talk.

Dang even some of the Patriots talked a little bit.
Never thought I’d see the day another team was more tight lipped than they are.

Hey, they’re practicing together. As a Giants fan, that’s all I care about…

I am just happy they are working out.
I don’t care about what they did to catch pass or who burnt who, because it doesn’t matter during the season. They don’t play themselves.

I agree with Garafolo. You would think with all of the time spent trying to sway public opinion between the owners and players, that the players would open up their practices to the media/public.

As much as I hate to say that I agree with Cortland Finnigan, I thought it was a smart idea to invite fans to the organized practice. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out. But if teams start doing that I think they will be getting a lot more support from fans because it will show they care about them.

Let it be known that it was Giants101′s Kyle Langan who broke the story of this workout to the sports world. Garafalo references him in his article about this, but you can just read the original article if you want:

I don’t think fans care about rejected interviews. We just want the lockout to end.
