NGT: Redskins sign Junior Galette to one year deal

so much for the $7 mill though, huh?

I really hate football

...made by a scumbag organization with a scumbag owner. I seriously thank God I was born into rooting for a sports franchise that operates with the class and honor of the Mara family and the NY Giants.

if it's Ok for jerruh, it's ok.

Funtime at their camp practices.

Hate the NFL and Giant fans who think the Maras have class or honor after PSLs. What suckers.

..to adding player's that have a history of violence against women. Arnie just vaulted himself into the lead for dumass post of the day.

among others, should keep Giants fans off this type of high horse

and was required to get counseling for his problems. It was also a long time ago and the team did take heat for the decision at the time. I'm proud to say they have grown wiser and more sensitive to the issue in the interim. So much for being informed and your' high horse'.

Who are the "among others"? And let's try to keep it within the last 15 years. (I had no idea the Christian Peters thing would have 50 years of traction.)

Aaaaaaaaaand, there it is.

You can bet your ass that whenever we discuss current affairs, some completely clueless idiot will rush to throw the Christian Peters or LT in our faces from 600000 years ago. Like they think it makes them some kind of reasonable, level headed fan. But it's actually the complete opposite.

Christian Peters? You really reached into the vaults for that one. Again.

I don't even think I've commented on anything much in the past year.

Anyway, so sue me, I guess I'm getting old. The point is, we don't - and have never had - a roster of angels.

Nor do we have a history of signing players with such muck associated with them, and that we repeatedly seek them out. And when we do it, we confront the issue, see if the person is actually repentant, and get them help.

What's great about this is that the"leadership is so great in Washington", that adding an asshole couldn't POSSIBLY hurt chemistry!"

First three pages unanimously: "Don't sign this guy! We're trying to build good character in the Locker Room, Scot McCloughan says we reward good character now, here..."

Somebody posts the twitter post that he's signed a one year deal, next two pages:

"We're not mentoring children here, we're trying to win! I'm not having the guy over for dinner, I just want him to sack the QB! Great signing!"

Not kidding. It's a complete 180. Can't imagine it would have been any different here, but funny nonetheless.

Michael Boley was a recent one.

I do agree with the thinking the Giants are a bit better than other franchises in this regard, though - particularly in the division.

There were indications the allegations against Boley were false and part of a contentious relationship with the childs mother. I don't have all the facts but it was not cut and dried.

But he was subsequently arrested for child abuse shortly after being released by the Giants, which he pled guilty to.

Not that teams should be expected to bat 100% on character. But the Giants have demonstrated a willingness to enter grey areas (while avoiding the more obvious ones, which they deserve credit for).

I guess with time people forget the entire Christian Peters scenario. The guy was signed, but not activated, for the season. A condition of the signing was that he attend psychological counseling, as well as alcohol counseling before being allowed to play for the team. After nearly a full year from the signing he played his first game for the Giants.

Unless I missed something, he never had another incident during his time with the team.

Yes, his acts were reprehensible. However, until I see another team keep one of the signings off the field for a full year to undergo counseling, the comparison is invalid.

was a good guy until he left the Giants
