The New York Giants re-signed two players on this April Fool’s Day (I hope everyone got a laugh from my Eli Manning post earlier in the day, it’s all in good fun lol). This in NOT a joke. Punter Jeff Feagles and Guard Kevin Boothe re-signed with the team today, terms were not disclosed as of yet. This will be Feagles eighth season with the Giants, in a career that began way back in 1988. Feagles is widely known as the best directional punter to ever play the game. The recent rub on his game, has been the fact that his punts have lacked the distance of past years. I am glad we were able to retain his services and I’m curious to see how he responds after having one of the worst seasons of his career. You could do a lot worse then having this future Hall of Famer on your team.
The signing of G Kevin Boothe shows that Jerry Reese is aware of the fact that the team needs to get deeper on the offensive line. Boothe is a serviceable player who can come in as a backup or in certain situations. This will be the native New Yorker’s (he was born in Queens) fourth season with Big Blue, after playing one year with the Raiders back in 2006. I expect Jerry Reese to draft at least one offensive lineman during the 2010 NFL Draft later this month. He may even draft two OL’s, one in the top three picks and one in the bottom three picks. The NFL Draft is about 3 weeks away now and I’m sure all of you Giants fans can’t wait for that. Personally, I can’t wait for the draft to come either.

BREAKING NEWS: Eli Manning has been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for veteran quarterback Donovan McNabb. McNabb was signed this morning in New York for a reported 3-years and $42 million dollars. A press conference has been scheduled for 5 PM EST on Thursday. Reports coming out of Philadelphia are mixed, fans on the street have been burning both McNabb and Manning jerseys in the streets. A small group of people were seen running down the block in south Philly, throwing cheesesteaks at any car with New York license plates. McNabbs agent has said that his star QB will have no comment until the press conference later today.
In New York, Giants fans have reportedly begun gathering outside of the ESPN ZONE restaurant in midtown Manhattan. A local television station has reported that hundreds of Giants fans have arrived at the restaurant, all wearing blue Lawrence Taylor jerseys (No.56) in an apparent symbol of unity. One of the leaders of the group has said they plan to head to Philadelphia this evening but would not specify the reason for the trip. Dozens of female Giants fans have met in the new Meadowlands Stadium (Giants stadium) parking lot, apparently holding a candlelight vigil for Eli Manning. Other reports have come out that twin engine airplanes have been spotted over New York, pulling large banners that read “Bring Back Eli, We bELIeve!!”
