I'm told Giants are in discussion with Lions about joint practices before their preseason game, which is the second week of the preseason (date as yet not finalized).

Always dangerous but also a good thing

Much better evaluation process for the coaching staff. But usually lots of fights and dumb stuff too.

Interesting that it�s 2 new coaches

Schurmer and Patricia. If memory serves Coughlin called off doing these after Jets scrubs were taking cheap shots one year

Met Jim Bob Cooter last season at a wedding

after we'd played the Lions and lost to them. He laughed at how bad our LB corps was. You may recall Ebron scored a TD on us that game.

Bulletin Board Material!! Ha.

Yeah, this tends to be better in theory than in practice.

It's hard enough to stop guys from scuffling when they're on the same team. When they're on different teams, things can get chippy.

Screw chippy

Best way to toughen these CBA pampered pussies up for real football

There was a 10-year break after Giants and Jets brawled in 2005 but TC did return to the concept in 2015 with the Bengals.

That was a good Cincy team (went 12-4) and Giants looked outclassed athletically.

I�m all for this
