    They ARE protesting our leadership. The flag is representative of them, and the direction they are taking us.

    If your protesting that you think the coin toss is rigged, you kneel then, if you feel that the system is rigged or leaving you behind, you kneel when the representation of that system is presented.

    Yup. No way was that going to happen. I was sure of it. And then....DAMN!

    I think he was as surprised as the rest of us were, too.

    Trump slips and says he has plenty of time on his hands when trying to defend himself against a question about this NFL fiscal he started consuming so much of his time.... lol

    you have to wonder if Trump is just a puppet and his family is doing all the work, he is claiming credit for it

    BTW, this is what sports should be doing. Two people, two different genders(well, there's only two genders lol.) and they may not have the same views on life, but they can come together and talk sports. Sports helps add a human civility to it, that should never have any politics injected into it.

    Sports and music and animals should bring people together and transcend politics!

    HAHA there are only two genders, but watch out - someone may see this and be mad at both of us.

    NO MORE POLITICS IN SPORTS. THAT MEANS YOU, REPUBLICANS, DEMOCRATS AND PRESIDENT TRUMP. Stay out of my sports.

    Besides, I have enough troubles this year. I have to survive 13 more humiliating games this season. Ack!

    There's always hope. I'm a basketball fan, and you may have heard a phrase called "trust the process". Trust it, the Giants will get better. If not this year, then the next.

    I trust in the process. I just don't trust in Eli and that offensive line that my cat could run through.

    I was actually depressed that my Eagles front-7 didn't do more against that O-line. Erick Flowers is one of the better starting O-Linemen in the NFL. He's definitely a bright spot on the line. Everything else? Eh.

    I like Flowers. He's about the only Giant I like these days.

    One of the problems is that the Giants are holding onto memories of the past: Eli beating the Pats twice in two Super bowls. But Eli's not the same Eli Manning anymore. The front brass has to move on. Maybe try and trade Eli to a QB desperate team.

    They won't trade him though. The thing is, when he's good, he's great. Last year was a good year for him. This year, not so much.

    And as much as I adore Beckham, McAdoo has to reign him in. Did you see that one handed TD on Sunday? Brilliant classic Odell. But his antics are getting on my nerves.

    Eli's beaten Tom Brady twice in the Super Bowl. Who else can say that?

    It's that O-Line that your cat can run through that's the problem. I can't wait till Mr. Manning goes to Washington...

    Yeah, you keep thinking that maybe one day, Odell will get it. But he might be like Terrell Owens. He may never get it, and you've got to decide if you want to live with it.

    TO is on Dancing With The Stars. I've watched some of it to see how he dances (not very well). But it's also hard for me to watch him without remembering his crying jag "That's my quarterback!". Remember this gem?

    HAHA nobody can say they even beat Brady once in the Super Bowl. That's why I tend to forgive Eli when he makes a mess of things.

    And you are spot on. Until they get that O line fixed, Eli won't be able to do a thing.

    Washington. PFFFT. Don't like them any more than I like the Cowboys or Eagles!
