Antonio Pierce: Salty as Shit

“It’s on and crankin’,” Pierce told the Newark Star-Ledger. “When we get out there, I’m looking for people” Pierce told the Newark Star Ledger.  Apparently he’s a bit salty over suffering a season ending ankle injury in the Giants’ 26-23 overtime (yea, overtime) victory against the Eagles JV squad.  Remember that game?  Ryan Moats ran silly all over the Giants D.

It’s going to be tough for Pierce to find the guy responsible for his injury though since it was tight end Steven Spach and The Spachster was cut before the regular season.  Maybe he can walk across the street to Chickie’s and Pete’s.  Dollars to donuts that’s where Spach is currently employed.

The NY Post reports:

Sure, Donovan McNabb is a quality quarterback, experienced, tough and talented. But the Giants are aware he’s not Peyton Manning, and for that they’re grateful.

“If we had our chance to see them again I think we’d be better,” Arrington said. “First game of the year and sometimes that half an inch, most often, disappears as the season goes on as guys get faster and more acclimated to real game-time speed. We just happened to have Peyton Manning while we’re getting adjusted to regular-season real game-time speed.

“Donovan McNabb hasn’t been throwing to any of his receivers for as many years as Marvin Harrison and even Reggie Wayne have been working with Peyton Manning. It’s a different dynamic.”

Not to be a homer or anything, but I’m pretty confident that the Birds don’t need any more motivation going into the game Sunday. 

What a game for the home opener.  Strahan v. Runyan, one of the most underrated player rivalries in the NFL.  Stallworth totally exploiting the Giants undersized secondary.  The front seven destroying Eli, Jerome McDougle style.  Coughlin’s exasperated look.  The fans at the Linc going batshit.  The return of Eagles dominance.  Get ya popcorn ready.
