Joe Looney is retiring, per source. The former Cowboys OL was signed recently to provide depth on the line. A surprising turn of events. #giants #cowboys

is what I am concerned about. Doubt these would affect the team or Judge, but I just don't want to see that. Makes me realize just how little these sports reports know, or at least how little they understand the issues.

Funny tweets about this situation are great and I look forward to a few. But I hope no one is getting all excited to write the next great "Judge is a piss poor coach" article based on this.

same thing goes for these reporters making statements about how guys look in drills or 7v7/11v11s.
Initial installs, especially with new faces, usually look "off."
Some drills aren't designed to have a good vs bad rep...just a teaching rep.
Some drills/techniques are specifically over exaggerated to teach muscle memory.
Reading that DJ had a bad day or that Jonas Seawright is unblockable is clickbait and likely, poor journalism.


I agree. Exactly. Anyone who plays an instrument, any kind of game, learns anything new at all, should realize about "practice: trying new things, trying old things done differently, going through the learning process. Sometimes it will look ugly, to someone who doesn't get that. Sometimes it looks artificially great. It's practice. Not news.

I guess writers don't "practice" ?

Camp isn't over yet....better hold off on that for now. : )
I suspect, they will have less late camp signings

Let's see if the Giants can create a contract where a guy can sign AND retire simultaneously.
You can't help but

DG signs him....  
Kev in Cali : 8/4/2021 4:39 pm : link

I would guess most guys that retire are older.

Joseph Donald Looney. Gone during trading camp. Stay off motorcycles in retirement.
A lot of guys want to retire as a Giant

Is a happy man. He better hope that the Giants don't sign Austin Reiter now. With Fulton being able to play center also there really is no need for the Giants to carry both Harrison and Reiter.
Can you imagine if we were on Hardknocks

In the training camp video that Marty posted, Osi is discussing a drill the DB's are doing and says he can't evaluate if the DB's are doing the drill correctly because he doesn't know what the coaches are looking for. That should alert anyone listening that any evaluations coming from camp need to be taken with much caution.
When I read the headline, I was reminded of Joe Don Looney  
GeofromNJ : 8/4/2021 11:12 pm : link
Oklahoma phenom and first round draft pick of the Giants in 1964 who, after only 25 days with the team, was traded to the Colts along with offensive lineman Lou Kirouac for wide receiver R.C. Owens and safety Andy Nelson. Looney, a running back, refused to follow team rules and racked up numerous fines before management finally said enough.

This is what pisses me off a lot about the media. For example, we've been pretty screwed by having Joe and Evan on WFAN though now Joe is gone-- we get screwed by having to hear Evan.

His bias hatred toward Knicks and Giants is so transparent. Anything positive - he looks to dig. His pov that Judge NEEDS to win this year for example.

So were gonna here anything that goes a little wrong - slaps on Judge by some of these bias dudes.
