Trash Talk 12.23.11

We're deep in winter now, but the Knicks, Jets and Giants are turning up the heat in the city and there are plenty of stories right now but I'm a bit juvenile and relish the trash talk. The Knicks have a new attitude and are looking to contend for a championship as soon as the season starts on Christmas meanwhile the Jets and Giants battle for New York's football crown as well as for playoff aspirations this Saturday.

With all this going on, it's only natural for a bit of chippiness to set in and so I present to you choice cuts of the juiciest trash talk this week.

Giants Piss Me Off By Losing To Seahawks

So after four weeks of counting out the Giants against quality opponents and having them win, I pick a healthier retooled Giants to win against a crumby Seattle team. In case you didn't realize from the picture to the left, that didn't turn out to well for me.

Eli Manning embraced his inner Tony Romo and threw three picks, one of which went for the winning touchdown. Victor Cruz played well again...so there's always that.

The only explanation I can fathom is that the G-Men took the Seahawks a little too lightly and figured it'd be an easy win(which it should have been). In the end Seattle made more plays and just looked like they wanted it more beating NY 36-25. Next on the sched...yea, I call the schedule "the sched"....next on the sched is the very hot Bills at 4-1, who can't seem to stop lighting up scoreboards. The Giants are going to have to take them serious or be in for a rude awakening on Sunday.

Jets & Giants Headed Into NFL Week 5

Sooo, where were we? Oh. The Giants despite being cursed by the blair witch and sustaining numerous injuries have fought and clawed their way to a 3-1 record thus far. How the hell did they do it? Beats the hell outta me, all I know is that it looks like they're proving they still have the mettle that made them champions in the first place.

Meanwhile the Jets got some work to do. 2-2 is not the end of the world but losing two straight, playing a very sloppy game like the one in Baltimore, AND not having the running game on track signals a rough road ahead especially when you consider a 3-1 Patriot team is playing host in week five.
