What movie is that from? Is that Conan?



Lol, yes, Conan the Destroyer. The Wizard guy yells that at Arnold that as that thing is rampaging around and goring people and smacking them around.


That movie got awful reviews, I think even worse than Barbarian and yet I fucking loved it. Loved both but if memory serves I preferred Destroyer. I remember being in the theater and some kid lit off a bottle rocket. Good times.

he builds this roster up enough in FA that there really is no glaring hole during the draft.

This method allows the Giants to draft truly the BPA regardless of position.

Hankins would fill that last glaring need.

Now move up and go get OJ Howard


We have a hole at kicker, but you're right. Now we go for BPA. Although, I don't want to give up anything to move up in the first. There will be superb players left on the board at the 23rd spot. I only like moving up in the later rounds to grab a player that has fallen through the cracks and should've been taken a round or two earlier (like our Landon Collins move)

My source says nothing happening on the Hankins front today.

In fact he said we aren't even the top offer on the table.

At this point, I think he's getting a 1-yr deal somewhere.

It has generally not been in Slade's MO to post within his skeptic threads regarding his info. I don't think we're going to see a post beyond the initial one at the top. He was given info. He posted it. That Limerick Guy has conflicting info which he posted. I don't think this is going to develop into a pissing contest over who has more reliable sources. We should be grateful we have posters here who are willing to share inside info with this community.

Moose and Fury : 3/30/2017 2:44 pm : link
do we actually know if Slade is an insider? He was right on Vernon last year but anyone with a pulse knew we had a chance, so he may just have happened to be right. Same as Marshall, and with him he only said we had an offer on the table, not that he was signing. Slade's said many things that haven't come to fruition, including the infamous Eraser post last year and also one that said something to the effect of "something is in the works and you guys are going to love it"...

Still enjoy when he posts, but not sure if we know it's not some 14 year old playing tricks on us...

Is he actually within the org? Probably not. Does he know someone who gets third hand info which is fluid and maybe is 50/50 accurate? Not impossible.

No No.

I hope I am wrong and Slade is right.

Certainly not a battle of any kind.

All I can do is put forth what I hear.

If I am wrong I will be happy as Hankins is back today.
Keep throwing it.... Something gonna stick

Info is always fluid until the ink is dry, people tend to jump the gun.
Slade seems to know the players side......

Limerick seems to have a contact at the Giants.

So it is understandable that they might not be on same page

have to connect the dots. Slade's handle is obviously a reference to his favorite '70s English glam-rock band of the same name. A group little known in the US, but wildly popular in the UK. Now what Brit has close ties to the Mara family? You guessed it, Kate's BF, Jamie Bell.

She's pretty enough to pull off short hair, but since she has that gorgeous red hair, why wear it short?

and is following his advice. Too bad for us, and perhaps too bad for him.

Reminds me of Sollozzo in the Godfather after the Don survives: Essentially, "well that's bad luck for me and bad luck for you if you don't make the deal".
Move on at this point if they're adamant in their  
The_Boss : 3/30/2017 6:18 pm : link
Unrealistic demands. The fate of the 2017 NYG isn't hinging on whether or not a 2 down run stuffer (who is merely a complimentary piece along the DL) resigns with the team.
Looks like another swing and a miss.  
arcarsenal : 3/30/2017 6:22 pm : link
Keep the info coming.. but the batting average is pretty low at this point. :)
Boss, it doesn't hurt us at present to wait it out. We don't seem  
yatqb : 3/30/2017 6:26 pm : link
to feel too excited about Odrick or anyone else out there, so we're choosing to wait. If they were ready to act on another FA and needed cap space they'd surely have given Hank an ultimatum.

If the info is correct and Poston messed up his chances of returning, then I hope the Giants pull the offer and move on.

Hopefully that will be an eye opener for Hank and he can finally get rid of Poston and return. If not, then just let him go somewhere else and move on. He'd be great to bring back but he isn't irreplaceable.
Poston probably reads BBI

and heard there was a higher offer on the table!

Thanks anyway asshats, right or wrong it's fun to hear. Fluid situations and such.

annexOPR : 3/30/2017 6:50 pm : link
I'm really eager to see what he signs for - wherever it is. He's had 1 good season - 2 years ago.

I'm glad the giants are taking the "take it or leave it" approach.
What is Slade's window of credibility?...  
Milton : 3/30/2017 8:31 pm : link
If he starts a thread Friday, "The pen is in his hand" (no jokes about: the penis in his hand)...
Saturday "April Fools"...
Sunday "He is signing as we speak"...
And back on Monday....

Nothing is done until its done. Then its on ESPN or NFL network. The people who are nice enough to share what they hear BEFORE anything is official. They are appreciated by most of us. We know it doesn't always happen. Thanks guys. Don't worry about the "noise".
