Pop Culture: Hey Meryl, get lost!

Last night after my Giants got their teeth knocked in by the Packers and ended our season I watched the Golden Globes for a little bit.  Why not watch rich, mostly white people, get all dressed up and pat themselves on the back for a few hours.  Few shout out about the winners, Casey Affleck was so good in Manchester by the Sea, it was well deserved and same for Donald Glover, I’ve been a big fan of his for years and Atlanta is a fantastic new show.  Also I haven’t seen it yet but La La Land better be Continue reading Pop Culture: Hey Meryl, get lost!

Wild Card Weekend

Raiders at Texans (-3.5, O/U 36.5) The game we all have been waiting for, the first game of the NFL Playoffs.  In one corner we have Rookie Connor Cook and in the other we have the $72M dollar man Brock Oslweiler.  Ok fine, this isn’t the exact game we were hoping for when the season started.  You would assume Derek Carr needed to have an MVP type year (he did) for Oakland to make its return to the playoff and JJ Watt needed to have another monster year on the other side of the ball (which he did not).

The 2016 GMEN, How they really doing?

The Giants just capped off another nail biting win on Monday Night Football vs the Bengals.  The Giants now sit at 6-3 and have a clear path to the playoffs, next 2 games are vs the 2-7 Bears and 0-9 Browns.  So barring massive brain fart by the Giants they will be 8-3.  Typically I would say the Giants will probably lose one of those game but this is not the Big Blue of the past so I expect them to roll the next two weeks.  (Please don’t let me down Eli!) Lets take a look at a few questions Continue reading The 2016 GMEN, How they really doing?
