Stamford, CT: It’s March, and the birds are starting to chirp and the grass is starting to green. Hope springs eternal! But for most of the local teams, hope is dying like a dandelion in November. The Jets are going with Justin Fields, who couldn’t read a defense if he had access to Belichick’s video collection. And the Giants seems content to run it back with the same offense, and any old stiff at QB. Thinks are looking as dim as the lights at a geriatric orgy for the Yankees, with injuries piling up. Don’t look at me to find a silver lining.
Giants Dumpster Diving for a QB
While scrolling social media I saw a post that Joe Flacco, Jameis Winston, and Russell Wilson have visited the Giants. I’ll take “QBs that Make Aaron Rodgers Look Compelling” for $1,000, Alex. Hey, a number one overall pick and two super bowl winners! How can they go wrong?
The Giants brought back their entire offense from last year, you know, because everything went so well. Like the old saying, if it’s completely broken, why fix it? They’re only a QB short, says Schoen. Soooo, are you gonna address that soon? That’s like saying “I would have won the Indy 500 if my engine didn’t blow up. But I got new hub caps and a paint job, so I should win next year, even though I haven’t gotten around to fixing the engine.” It really looks like a tank for Arch situation already.
The sad part is signing one of these old duds is probably a better option than trading up for Cam Ward or taking a shot with Sanders. I Shedeur don’t think that’s a good idea, at all. This season is going to be as inspiring as a fat guy in the gym on January 1st. You know how it’s going to end.
Orgy of Injuries
Clarke Schmidt and Paul Goldschmidt are the latest Yankees to get hurt. I guess it’s a bad time to have a name ending in “Schmidt.” Yankees are going down like a box of doughnuts at a police station. Insert the Mets’ fans lack of sympathy comments here. Marcus Stroman went from the trading block to the #3 starter. Could be a rough start to the season in the Boogie Down. I bet they wish they just gave Soto his damn suite.
That’s all for me. Come back tomorrow for Angry Ward, who will hopefully get a better news day if he tries another “breaking news” column.
