    Dump thinks everyone only roots for all teams in their area.

    No dumbass but there is no fn way you are a Chiefs fans first. You bailed on either the Jets or the Giants.

    I bailed on the Rams in 89 when I got to college. After the Flipper Anderson game against your G-men. You're right, it would've been strange being a Chief fan first in the late 70"s unless you were from the Midwest, as they were terrible. Deberg and Okoye were there when I started.

    Okoye was unstoppable in Tecmo Bowl.

    I wasn't a Chiefs fan, but I loved the Nigerian Nightmare so much I had his jersey.

    As pathetic as it sounds, this may be the biggest Giants game over the past few seasons. Lose and they pick 4th, win and they'll most likely pick 8th or 9th. They need to lose this game, a win would be awful for them, falling from the 1st pick to the 8th or 9th pick in two weeks is a disaster.

    The Eagles are resting all their players, and in some cases playing their 3rd stringers. This is the kind of meaningless game the Giants usually win, so who knows what will happen.

    Yes, the Eagles are trying to fuck us over and I'll laugh my ass off if they lose their first playoff game. Hurts hasn't played in almost a month. Stop Barkley in that game to a respectable level and the Eagles will lose. Hurts is going to suck in that game after such a long layoff. The Giants picking 8th may be better. If that is the case and dumbass Schoen has a brain, he will trade back multiple times. Get as many extra 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th's as he can. Take somebody like Beck late in the first or early second. Start filling holes. Draft a couple of legit defensive end talents 270+ and go back to the 4-3 and get rid of this shit 3-4 which they suck at playing. Draft another tackle for depth. A CB with nice upside. A new kicker. Another DT. A WR with some height. They have a ton of holes to fill.

    Turned out to be a great day for the Giants. Not only did they thankfully lose to the Eagles, but the Pats also beat the Bills which means the Giants will pick 3rd. Why I think that is important is now they are guaranteed to get one of Sanders, Ward, or the best player in the draft Hunter. I am not as disappointed they lost the 1st overall pick now that they got the 3rd pick. For the Giants having the ability to take 1 of those 3 players is big. You get a QB or the best player in the draft if the QB's go 1 and 2 to the Titans and the Browns, which they very well may as they both need QB's. The Giants cannot lose now IMO.

    Maybe the best of all worlds is the QB's go 1 and 2, the Giants take Hunter, and potentially Milroe or Beck are there in the early 2nd round. Who knows about that, but it worked out well for them today thankfully.

    Give me Hunter all day long. We need a number 1 CB and 3rd down WR to go with Nabers. However, I have a feeling that one of the teams in front of us will trade their pick for a boat load to a team that wants Hunter.

    Could be, it will really be an interesting watch. Both the Titans and Browns need a QB, usually teams only trade up for a QB, but the best most highly rated player in the draft is Hunter, so does he make teams want to trade up for him (which is extremely rare for a non-QB).

    I feel the Titans are almost a lock to keep the pick and take a QB, most likely Sanders (Ward if by some chance they like him better). The Browns are the wildcard. I could see any of the 3 scenarios playing out, they draft the other QB (which is a big position of need), they draft Hunter, or they trade the pick to a team that wants the other QB or Hunter. Not sure how the Browns will play it. The one comment I'll add though, is I'm not sure a team will give up a boatload to move up this year. Does a non-QB command that type of return and do Sanders/Ward rate highly enough for a team to trade away a boatload.

    That is why I truly think the Giants are in a no-lose position, and getting the lucky break of the Pats beating the Bills was huge. I viewed this as a 3-player top of the draft for the Giants, and now they are guaranteed to get one. They get their QB of the future, or the best player in the draft. A case could be made the best case for the Giants is they get Hunter since neither of the QB's are lock stud prospects.

    We badly need a cornerback as well.
