with them on some hush hush project and now they steal our guy off the practice squad. Clearly this is the work of TC who is still pissed at Mara and Reese.......

I think spike was being facetious? If he was important to the Giants, he would have been protected by putting him on the 53 and making him inactive on gamedays..I'm sure they could have placed someone else from the roster (who was less likely to be swept up) onto the PS if necessary
If anything

this shows that Reese had signed a talented and desirable guy to the PS.

I know what you mean. The Bills are grabbing a PS OT from a team with quality so good at the OT position that no one has been able to beat out Marshall Newhouse as the starting RT (;->
I didn't see this one coming either

Yup
Ola is celebrating with...

...Anisette.
Not really surprising that Ola found a spot.  
Big Blue Blogger : 9/28/2016 12:31 pm : link
He started 19 games for the Bears and Lions, and was something of a surprise cut in both places. He seems to have fallen victim somewhat to regime change in Chicago (he had followed Trestman from Canada) and an ill-timed injury in Detroit. Because it took him so many years to make his way to the NFL, he was too old for either team to keep him around for long-term potential. He's probably decent depth, though. Personally, I'm glad to have Hart and Beatty as the third and fourth OTs.
Is Quinton Coples eligible for the PS?

Wouldn't be a bad guy to have on there

He might be alright for the NASCAR package and situational pass rushing, but I doubt the team can tie up a roster spot for him.
