Pats trade Garrapolo to the 49ers for what will be a high 2nd rounder.

Rams 8-)

So who do we all think will win the Super Bowl? For me It's difficult to look past the Eagles and Patriots currently. Maybe Steelers or Vikings? I'd love to think the Rams can get there but they might just not be strong enough.

Classless, clueless move by McAdoo benching Eli at this point. The rationale behind starting Geno Smith is what exactly? Coach is out of his depth and never once has Eli thrown him under the bus, a courtesy that was not reciprocated by his superior. McAdoo has now cemented his legacy among the worst Giant coaches of all-time: Arnsbarparger, Handley and Allie Sherman.

I forgot about Ray Handley. And he had pretty good teams as well.

Am starting to understand the game now thanks to sitting down with some clients and watching a few games on my recent visit to the States. Two of the cities I was in were Charlotte and New Orleans...So I am leaning towards 'following' one of those sides.

Are there any side that can be linked at all to WHU? Unlikely but worth an ask.

I don't think so mate. Maybe look for a team who were half decent in the 60's,70's and 80's and who have been ***** ever since :)

I'd say a team from an older industrial area. Pittsburgh has great spirit but the Steelers are too successful to be a match. Maybe Cleveland Browns or Detroit Lions.

He took over from Parcells. George Young didn't trust Little Bill, and Handley was supposed to be some sort of off-the-chart genius. There's more to the story than his failures on the field, but that alone was sufficient for him to go down as one of the all-time embarrassments.

George probably was right to not trust Belichick. He's a complete sh*thead of a human being. But he's brilliant. Can you imagine if he had been made the head coach? The Giants might have 5 or 6 SB trophies under their belt. Maybe he could have turned Jarrod Bunch into a bonafide rb.

My father, who has rooted for the Giants since the 1940's, will find a new team if McAdoo and Reese are there next season.

I'd offer up the 49ers - titles and decent players in the 80s, now struggling this season 1-11!!!
