BIG DEAL!!!!!!!

1960 WILL CONTINUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR THE CURSED BAD DREAM TEAM!
Sounds like the "long haul"  
pjcas18 : 8/27/2011 12:13 pm : link
he had to recovery was a couple weeks.
How could our doctors say  
Brandon Walsh : 8/27/2011 12:14 pm : link
he's a "got a ways to go" and he practices two weeks later. The whole situation is just unreal and makes no sense.

The real question will be how he looks, but its still unbelievable.

I guess we'll know soon enough if he starts the season on the PUP list.
We seem to have awesome doctors  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/27/2011 12:15 pm : link

He can't start on PUP  
pjcas18 : 8/27/2011 12:15 pm : link
if he's practicing or was that a joke?
Because the PUP  
pjcas18 : 8/27/2011 12:15 pm : link
lists are about as clear to most of BBI as the Saints draft pick and compensatory picks.

jlukes : 8/27/2011 12:16 pm : link
once a player practices, he is officially off the PUP and cannot be placed back on it.
Good for him  
AnishPatel : 8/27/2011 12:16 pm : link
I am excite for part 2 of this movie once T2 comes back from his injury. How much do we pay him? Do we overpay? Does another team offer a lot if he hits the market? Stay tuned.. same channel..same time in the future!

No doubt  
Jay Pee Pee : 8/27/2011 12:17 pm : link
Reese screwed up here. He took Smith for granted and thought he would take any offer he gives them.
Anish  
tito wooten : 8/27/2011 12:17 pm : link
The Giants will tell T2 he can never play again. Some team will sign him to a small 1 year contract, and he will play well for them.
T2 to Dallas

i hope

they get flooded
Reese gambled and lost on this one. The Eagles swooped in  
BoldRuler : 8/27/2011 12:19 pm : link
and swiped him up. Let's move on.
tito,  
AnishPatel : 8/27/2011 12:19 pm : link
You have to put spoiler if you are going to say that!
Screwed up Smith and was caught off-guard by Boss's  
Some Fan : 8/27/2011 12:19 pm : link
signing
Maybe he lied  
Blackbeard : 8/27/2011 12:19 pm : link
to our doctors about how the knee felt.
Don't ask me for reasons.
He might want to live in Phila.
It was a very bad thing losing him to Philadelphia, period.  
Overseer : 8/27/2011 12:19 pm : link
guy just moves the chains. If he heals up and is re-signed (a likely occurrence given his age), he's going to burn the Giants for years.

It still makes me puke that Steve Smith is a fucking Eagle.
That's a big gap  
Mason : 8/27/2011 12:20 pm : link
between analysis. Don't the HSS serve both the Giants and Mets?
he beat back barden...  
Adam XLII : 8/27/2011 12:20 pm : link
smh
Anish, oops, my bad!  
tito wooten : 8/27/2011 12:20 pm : link
Haha.
something just doens't add  
chris r : 8/27/2011 12:21 pm : link
up with this situation.
If the reports  
AnishPatel : 8/27/2011 12:22 pm : link
were right we offered Smith a deal before his injury. He turned it down. Then he got hurt. I personally don't care, you move on and next man up. Trust your GM and the people around him.

What happens to a player who comes off the PUP list, practices, and is injured again?
Someone has a crack  
metoo : 8/27/2011 12:24 pm : link
medical staff or is it a medical staff on crack
This is ABSURD

Colossal fuckup
He's going  
Jay Pee Pee : 8/27/2011 12:25 pm : link
to be motivated to stick it to Coughlin and Reese. I believe he's going to be a long time Eagle and remind us everytime of what we had with him.

Oh, didn't know that.
I have a feeling if the Giants dont win a playoff game this season,  
Curtis in MD : 8/27/2011 12:27 pm : link
the offseason will be very interesting.
A whole bunch of stupid by some on this thread..  
Big Blue '56 : 8/27/2011 12:27 pm : link
I'm sure Chad Jones could "practice" as well..Far cry from actually playing..Good lord
So much for "long haul"  
tito wooten : 8/27/2011 12:28 pm : link
What a bunch of BS.
it's the Eagles taking the gamble  
andrew_nyg : 8/27/2011 12:29 pm : link
at first it was addition by subtraction...sign a guy who can come back and be real good, and take the same away from a division rival...but, they had to commit to getting him on the field...they are rushing him back, and the result on his career could be tragic...and he'll have himself, his agent, and the Eagles to blame.

You think if the Giants weren't concerned about his long term health, they wouldn't bring him back to play the slot ASAP?! If we was ready Reese would have him signed and back to his old job.

This is a case of the kid panicking and needing to get back on the field for fear of losing his relevance. BAD MOVE.

SanFranGiantsFan : 8/27/2011 12:29 pm : link
I did laugh @ that remark that Smith was back on the practice field quicker than Barden.
If Smith does return  
Mason : 8/27/2011 12:29 pm : link
then this is indeed one of HSS worse years and that's saying something. Is Ike Davis still alive?
Steve Smith beat Ramses Barden off the PUP list  
Jints in Carolina : 8/27/2011 12:29 pm : link
awesome.
This may become the Curse of Steve Smith  
Some Fan : 8/27/2011 12:30 pm : link
Reese's No No Nanette moment. I dread possibly seeing the Eagles win the SB this year with SS making plays. Sometimes you get these feelings or premonitions about things. I feel this may be the Eagles year. We will hear about Vick's redemption over and over. I hope I am wrong.

AnishPatel : 8/27/2011 12:30 pm : link
You should apply for Giants team doctor and then you can post information so we know. Or have Eric give you a section where you can talk medical stuff regarding injuries and such.
What??????  
Giants 1983 : 8/27/2011 12:30 pm : link
How is this even possible?

Holy crap. What a disgrace. Great job, Doc!
So Tito  
Big Blue '56 : 8/27/2011 12:32 pm : link
You take light practice which is miles from an actual game as proof that there was no such thing as a "long haul?"..It's friggin' practice..
Some people will blindy back the Giants every move  
Jints in Carolina : 8/27/2011 12:32 pm : link
so there is no surprise there.
'56  
Curtis in MD : 8/27/2011 12:33 pm : link
Too early to tell right now whats stupid and what isnt. The whole situation is pretty strange, you have to admit that much.
BB56  
tito wooten : 8/27/2011 12:33 pm : link
Yeah, um, you keep telling yourself that.
BB56  
Jints in Carolina : 8/27/2011 12:33 pm : link
and if Smith was practicing with the Giants we would all be giddy with excitement.
And once again,  
Big Blue '56 : 8/27/2011 12:33 pm : link
a brilliant post by 1983..
Return to practice could mean doing walk throughs...  
okiegiant : 8/27/2011 12:34 pm : link
also, lets wait and see if Smith actually can do anything or if he suffers the dreaded "setback".

Guys, breathe and wait to see how this unfolds as opposed to blind over reaction.

I swear, jumping to conclusions is the only excersise some BBI'ers ever get.
Jints nailed it  
Giants 1983 : 8/27/2011 12:35 pm : link
about people blindly following the organization.
