		<description><![CDATA[Tuck talks to Osi every day. He knows that Osi isn&#039;t happy. He knows that Osi is coming back with his tail between his legs and is likely even angrier because of it. That is pretty much it. I still think there is a good chance he gets traded. Maybe he can go put on a nice audition against the Bears. I don&#039;t think you need to practice to get sacks against the Bears.]]></description>

Usually other players keep their feelings on these kind of matters to themselves. Why rock the boat? Makes you go &quot;Hmmm . . .&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The way the Giants were manhandled on Saturday, they need all the help they can get.  The Giants front office is a pathetic group of placaters.  Caving to Osi is a great precedent for anybody else wanting a bigger contract.  There&#039;s a reason the Eagles never cave to player demands like that.  It&#039;s called having a set of balls.  Apparently, the Giants have none.  Well if they do.... Osi has them in his pocket.]]></description>

A Giants hater?  LoL, do i like them?  Well obviously not...but I&#039;m obviously not too bias if I can sit here and tell you that I KNOW the Cowboys will suck, I&#039;m more realistic than you could ever be.  The Giants SB run was lucky, idc if you don&#039;t want to admit it.  That&#039;s why Eli has reverted back to his old self and well continued sucking.  But hey, you all won, congrats...just stating facts here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@hus10188  you just tried going on Eagles fans about talking about our 6 straight wins against you and then you try going right @sieg 1234 by saying how the giants constantly own the cowboys.
So since your a typing contridiction I will happily bring up the truth.  Philadelphia is the champion in the East,  Philly had a GREAT off-season and New York had a garbage off-season , and Philly has beat the giants for 3 straight seasons. Your super bowl days (while great for your franchise) mean nothing about your team now. You have to go through Philly for the division and you couldn&#039;t beat us  the past 3years , but after what the Eagles have done this free agency your going to all of a sudden beat us? ? Haha,  keep dreaming! PS thanks for Steve Smith,  Coughlin said Smith wouldn&#039;t be ready to go for awhile,  I&#039;m at lehigh and he&#039;s already running and cutting and looks really good. Another dagger. !!]]></description>

Granted they also give up their share of yards and points but they still can reek havoc and inflict pain.  GO GIANTS!]]></description>

FACT: All the NY players know what Osi was told and that the front office lied to him. FACT: Osi is now a cancer in the locker room. If they don&#039;t trade him, they&#039;re doomed. FACT: Other players on that team have to wonder what happens to them when it&#039;s time to re-up. FACT: The NY front office gets the rep of being disloyal liars throughout the league and scares away future free agents.

How often have teams dumped a player during his contract with limited penalties? It’s a messed up business, but that’s what it ultimately is; a business. Osi needs to get paid big soon b/c he is getting too old to request long term big money deals – in fact I think he has waited too long, and he doesn’t have much leverage 

What are you talking about? Osi DID sign his big contract already and will get $41 million.  He&#039;s been hurt and and has underperformed for someone with such a big contract.   The guy has to be broke already, otherwise he wouldn&#039;t be so &quot;unhappy&quot; with his huge contract. 

He makes a mockery of players with legitimate beefs with their contracts like DeSean Jackson and Chris Johnson.   Osi does NOT deserve a new contract unless it&#039;s for a reduction in pay.]]></description>

I think the opinion you just stated was to not to pick holes in my statement, it was to just clearly an opportunity to spew negative BS about the NY Giants, a team that has clearly had the better of you for the best part of half a decade. We&#039;re like the ultimate party poopers for the Cowboys. Everytime there&#039;s  hope and optimism for Cowboys fan here come the Big Blue Wrecking Crew everytime to just crap all over it LOL!

Of course our 07 run was .....&#039;lucky&#039;, Eli&#039;s post season performances was as good as any for any QB under the circumstances. But no he was &#039;lucky&#039;, I guess.

Lol and Simm&#039;s performance in our 1st superbowl win was by far one of the greatest QB performances in SB history.  I&#039;m sure his QB rating was probably just under double your 60 rating, I would check but I can&#039;t be bothered. You&#039;re obviously a Giant hater, a very uneducated one at that who clearly has no role in a butting his big nose into a debate between an iggles and giants fan.

Oh BTW, I&#039;d rather win a SB by being lucky as opposed to paying off a certain steelers QB to throw a game for you. 

And you&#039;re absolutely right....you&#039;re secondary is beyond bad, and you will flat out suck again this year.

GO BIG BLUE.]]></description>

He did sign his &quot;long term big money&quot; and almost immediately started complaining about it. My point is that why doesn&#039;t he take it up with his agent. Has he at least hired a new one? No one forced him to sign a six-year extension.

Maybe it&#039;s just me, but it seems like there are more holdouts now than before the NFL had free agency.]]></description>

I hate the Eagles more than any NFL team in the world, but you&#039;re ignorant.  Who cares how many SB&#039;s you have?  The only one you can even point to that holds some credence is the latest, and it was a big one.  But your team is not even remotely close to repeating that...is that why you keep talking about it like it happened last season?  It didn&#039;t.  And tbh, it was one of the luckiest runs in the NFL, but that doesn&#039;t matter...the point is, talking about how many SB you have doesn&#039;t mean a damn thing at THIS point.  I&#039;m a Cowboys fan, we have a handful, does it really matter?  Are those rings going to make our secondary all of a sudden be able to cover those guys that run down the field and catch the ball, otherwise known as WR&#039;s, TE&#039;s, and/or RB&#039;s?  No, they still are God awful in that dept and it&#039;s the biggest reason we will flat out suck again.  Isn&#039;t it refreshing to be more realistic about your team RIGHT NOW and not keep talking about your SB rings, most of which were won when passer ratings were in the 60&#039;s and that was considered good?]]></description>

<p>I hate the Eagles more than any NFL team in the world, but you&#8217;re ignorant.  Who cares how many SB&#8217;s you have?  The only one you can even point to that holds some credence is the latest, and it was a big one.  But your team is not even remotely close to repeating that&#8230;is that why you keep talking about it like it happened last season?  It didn&#8217;t.  And tbh, it was one of the luckiest runs in the NFL, but that doesn&#8217;t matter&#8230;the point is, talking about how many SB you have doesn&#8217;t mean a damn thing at THIS point.

How often have teams dumped a player during his contract with limited penalties?  It&#039;s a messed up business, but that&#039;s what it ultimately is; a business.  Osi needs to get paid big soon b/c he is getting too old to request long term big money deals - in fact I think he has waited too long, and he doesn&#039;t have much leverage esp. since the team can replace him with several other capable pass rushers (JPP, and Kiwanuka is undoubtedly better at DE than OLB).  But still...that&#039;s the main reason.]]></description>

 darryl tapp had 2 sacks and a couple pressures. why is nobody talking about his “big start to the preseason”?

Because he did it one on one, against one of the best LTs in the league, Pro Bowler, Jordan Gross. 

His sacks were beastly as well, Suh throws QBs around like rag dolls with his sacks but JPPs sacks are like a predator having lunch on unsuspecting prey.

You can have you&#039;re &#039;six wins&#039; in a row and Brandon Graham, while we&#039;ll have our 3 Superbowls and JPP.]]></description>
