Close But No Cigar - The Jerry Reese Story


Jerry has had a pretty terrible time collecting players for the Giants. Today, it looks like he's lost out on Al Wilson (either failed physical or bait and switch Bronco tactics) and Vonta Leach (Texans match offer). These latest losses follow a number of other whiffs in the FA market. Picking up Droughns for Carter has been his only good move. What's more, cutting Luke shows no sign of having improved the team. I really wonder what the problem converting organizational will into roster improvements has been.

Meanwhile, pressure continues to mount on the Giants draft, and they only have 7 picks.

Yikes.

Why are they still employed then? What is going on with our organization.

I don't know why. But they told Amani he was a lot less damaged than it turned out he was, and we're gonna be coping with that for the rest of his career. I really don't know why we've never upgraded there.

In case you missed it, Tyler Kepner writes in his blog:

...After talking to the pitching coach Ron Guidry, I mentioned I had just read Mark Kriegel’s excellent biography of Pete Maravich, figuring that Guidry, who was born in Louisiana in 1950, would have loved Pistol Pete. Good assumption.

Guidry said he watched Maravich play a lot, both on TV and in person. But the best part of watching Maravich wasn’t the games. “It was the practices,” Guidry said. “He would do all sorts of things in practice he couldn’t do in the games.”
