The Giants Panties are in a Bunch Because Belichick Outsmarted Them
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin was clearly upset Wednesday morning, less than 24 hours after he lost starting TE Jake Ballard to a waiver claim from the tight end-rich New England Patriots. “Discourage is a minor description,” he said. “Very disappointing.” Guess what? Patriots coach Bill Belichick doesn’t care. “If a player’s on waivers, he’s on waivers,” Belichick said at his Wednesday press conference. “Ours or anybody else’s. I don’t know what ‘unwrittens’ you’re talking about. Look, anytime you put a player on waivers, you know there’s 31 teams that can take him. We all know that, there’s no secrets about that.” … The Giants waived Ballard after the ACL he tore in Super Bowl XLVI led to a failed physical Monday. Clearly the Giants intended to bring him back after he cleared waivers, but they never got the chance. Asked why the team didn’t just keep Ballard, who caught 38 balls for 604 yards and four TDs last year, on the 90-man roster, Coughlin barked, “Don’t ask me those questions. I don’t have the answers for you.” …Coughlin expected Ballard would be ready to go for him by [2013]. “I certainly thought so,” he said. “So did everybody — the whole building felt that way, everyone did.”
What’s the old Klingon proverb? “Revenge is a dish best served cold”? Someone might want to teach it to Tom Coughlin. I mean, since when is it Bill Belichick’s job to save the Giants from their own stupidity? They put a talented 24 year old player on waivers and expect the Patriots not to take him? Why? Because there’s an “unwritten rule”? There’s a reason unwritten rules are unwritten. Because they’re too goddamned stupid to write down. The Giants have some balls asking the Pats not to improve themselves. I mean, this is the NF-friggin-L. If I accidentally dropped a guy from my Fantasy roster and asked the guys in my league not to pick him up they’d laugh in my face and tell me to go piss up a rope. And they’re my best friends. Maybe they don’t realize this in East Rutherford, but the Giants are the bane of the Pats existence these last four years. To complete the Star Trek analogy, Coughlin is Belichick’s Kahn. Coughlin chased him ’round the moons of Nibia and ’round the Antares Maelstrom and ’round Perdition’s flames. And now that his team screwed up badly, he’s asking not to blast him out of the nebula. Well Coughlin can stick it up his ass and look forward to defending a 3 tight end set of Gronk, Hernandez and Ballard the year after next. Good luck with that. Belichick’s done worse than kill you. He hurt you. @JerryThornton1
Yea, you really got revenge this year for the last time. Fucking idiot Pats fans. You can stick your whole post up your ass and bow down to Big Blue.
You are an idiot troll #1. don’t ever post another thing about Shaugnessy being a hack because you are the worst. Way to cherry pick the article and leave out the part where Coughlin says he’s not mad at another team for taking him, that it’s all within the rules. Coughlin is obviously sour with his own GM for thinking he could get away with this move, not mad at the Patriots for taking Ballard.
Article blows. Pats got mouth-fucked by Coughlin twice in the Super Bowl. Going to take my 4pm shit
Giants are still the champs, Smithers.
“To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell’s heart, I stab at thee; For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee” -Tom Coughlin
STUPID GIANT CUNTS!! HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAA!!! WAY TO GO BIG BLUE!
Coughlin said he does not think that other teams need to show a certain amount of professional courtesy knowing that the Giants were trying to make a roster move with an injured player who is not expected to play this season.
“I don’t think there is any question about that part of it,” Coughlin said. “Whatever the options are based on what the rules are, based on the procedural circumstance, all is fair
lol losing ballard is LEAST of our worries… he’s not that good, and if this is revenge I’m willing to let the pats take one players from the giants every year if that means we squash them in the BOWL every time hahaha
hahahaha. yes nice revenge there. whatever helps the bleeding from 2 Super Bowl losses.
and Giant fans are’t worried, Eli will just have to turn another TE into a star this season.
Yeah stealing Jake Ballard away really makes up for losing to us in the Super Bowl TWICE in 5 years. Fucking losers.
Total troll move, Thornton. Giants are pretty bulletproof. You’re going to have to work a lot harder if you want to find something there. Not like the Jets who make your job easy. And this is an F minus attempt. Coughlin and Reese were nothing but gracious and said they fucked up. Not a negative word to be said about the Pats*. I get that you feel marginalized by the fact that you’re the Wooderson of Barstool Sports, but there’s no need to go to these lengths to try and stay relevant. You’re good at your X’s and O’s stuff on Mondays. Stick to that. Stay in your lane. The rest of the Boston sports media has the fake outrage covered.
LOLOLOLOLOL
giants own the pats
Smart move by BB. Still doesn’t make up for the last 2 SB losses
Coughlin said to reporters today that once the player is on waivers there is nothing wrong with a team picking him up….so this is kind of uhh..dumb. Ballards knee is destroyed thats why its head scratching to pay someone that wont play.
Great move.. pay a guy half a mil to rehab for a year at the one skill position you don’t need to improve. Maybe you can convert him to a wide out…
BB making moves for the sake of sticking it to the G-men just shows that TC is in his head… big time. Beginning of the end for the regular season “dynasty” that is the New England Patriots. It was fun while it lasted… now it’s just sad.
I have no opinion on this post, I’m just here to say I want a cut of the revenue from the gay shirts now being sold on this site. If not for me why would American Apparel think there were any gay readers on here? I’ll settle for 10%. Now I know 10% of nothing is still nothing, but it’s a matter of principle.
Let welker walk after the season. Move hernandez over. Ballard backs up Gronkowski. Not rocket science
What everyone else said, you Smithers squid fucker.
I don’t know bill belichick, how he thinks, or how he runs his team. I think I can pretty much say with confidence however that “sticking it to the Giants” had absolutely ZERO to do with him claiming Ballard on waivers.
dumb post.
Get fucked Smithers
You do realize that in this analogy, the patriots are the arrogant “superman” from the 21st century and the giants are the men aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise. The patriots exemplify every characteristic of Kahn’s men; supreme intelligence, overbearing demeanor, used to be the dominant force in a long forgotten history. The Giants, meanwhile, are led by a half-retard who always seems to save the day and win the war with some ridiculous, pull-it-out-of-your-ass play that confounds the enemy. The Patriots may dominate during the regular season and leave Coughlin marooned on an island to answer questions about his job and Manning’s abilities as a leader, but in the end, they’re the ones who have taken two ‘ships from you. Winning during the regular season and signing Te’s does not make you Kirk; defeating the “superior” opponent (twice) and winning the day does.
Hernandez is a liability @ TE, he will be moved to WR, Ballard is good pickup – has nothing AT ALL to do w/ the Giants per se. Plus – FUCK THE GIANTS anyways, I’d rather be from Boston and a Pats fan and lose a couple superbowls than be from shitty ass jersey or NY or even worse Long Island (although I’m sure they’re all Jets fans right ahahha) and be a Giants fan. All you motherfuckers are grimy scummy fake-ass dirty pieces of shit. NYC sucks. The giants are a bandwagon franchise. jersey sucks – go fuck yourselves all of you
The Pats don’t need anymore friggin Tight ends…they have more now than the rest of the league put together. What they need Defensive backs that can stop Giant receivers. That said I think the Pats have a better shot at getting back to the SB than the Giants do this upcoming season.
It’s just not that big of a deal. A player on waivers is not on your team, end of story. The media in NY, the Giants, fans, and douchenuggets commenting are obviously anal retentive over the whole thing. Ballard will not play this year, isn’t All-Pro, and doesn’t have that much value.
Jerry Thornton who the fuck are you? the pats need to start spygating to start winning again.
bostonworm your such a fucking typical masshole. have you met 1 or 2 asshole new yorkers and assumed there all grimy pieces of shit? go fuck yourself seriously. and no were not bandwagons and most people here on long island is giants fans. die-hard giants fans. maybe you should visit and spend time in a state before you say anything else you simple minded fool
“The giants are a bandwagon franchise”
From a Pats fan… fucking laughable
Bostonworm embarrassing himself yet again – what an ignorant asshole
Smithers, any truth to the rumor the Pats may be trading for punter, Josh Scobee?
Piss up a rope
I’m not understanding what the big deal is. If anything, the Giants are morons for waiving him. Now they lost Nicks, Ballard, Jacobs. Crap offense.
where does it say that coughlin says it’s an unwritten rule? for fucks sake jerry, it’s one thing not to be a funny, a complete other to be illiterate…18-1 cockboy.
I for one am completely happy about this move. Ballard was a product of Eli Manning, he is a stiff TE with brick hands who cant cut without tearing something. He’s a big stupid ogre who wouldn’t be ready until late December anyway. We signed a couple TE’s who are much more athletic and this move doesn’t upset me at all. Good luck with your aging QB who chokes on the biggest stage and your 3000 tight ends. I had no idea that football teams were just about your QB and tight ends. I thought, for some silly reason, you needed to have a solid defense too. OH wait you DO?! Pats should work on that. Eat shit Thornton, I fucked your mother.
have fun paying him 1.2 million for 1 season (2013).. makes Belichick seem like a scumbag and the actual effect is little to none of the giants. ballard isnt even going to wear a pats jersey on the field at all this season so who cares.
Bandwagon franchise? Are you talking shit are you actually believe that? One of the originals in the NFL established 1925, at one point 15 year waiting list for season tickets. THE PATS are the team that before BILL got there, couldn’t sell out, couldn’t make money and were seriously considering re-locating. Im sure 80% of pats fans dont know that (the 20% that do are die hards). But the giants are the bandwagon franchise? got it. love that logic.
Yea thanks Jerry for making it look like that helps us forget that Eli whooped us twice. Seriously bro? Is this a sarcastic post? Do you really feel like acquiring a barely above average te makes up for the almost perfect season and the almost redemption?
As a pats fan, I absolutely cringed when I saw this article. Come on Jerry, either this is some grade A troll work or your dick is so far up belichick’s ass that you crawled up inside there yourself to see if you could find it. Giants beat us and it sucks, don’t write these kinds of articles that serve as a steaming pile of shit where the new york fans come buzzing out flying all around it yapping about their recent success against us.
Hey Classless, get your facts straight… The Giants didn’t lose Nicks, he broke his foot a couple months ago and will be fine for the season. Jacobs was a fat slob who was incapable of converting 3rd and 1′s… no loss there. Ballard wasn’t going to play anyway. Just wrong.
Jerry dug his own grave with this completely ridiculous article… enough said.
god damn it! the pats got us again!!! first they win super bowl 42, then they beat the Giants AGAIN in super bowl 46…. oh wait i have that backwards. Pats lost. Twice. In the Super Bowl. To Eli. time for revenge was 4 months ago Thornton you pedo. you lost remember? giants decapitated you.
Bandwagon franchise? You know the waiting list for Giants season tickets before the PSL’s was on average 25 years? You know very little oh small dicked one.
Calling giants fans bandwagon fans might be the dumbest comment on the boards today. These 2 sb loses hurt pats fans so much and I fucking love it. I’m sure the only comparison for a new Yorker is 03 alcs. 18-1 forever cunts.
why do thornton the pedo and the jew keep posting these stories? Giants fans come in here and shit all over the pats, and there is literally nothing patriots fans can say. 18-1. 2 super bowls. Eli and TC own the Patriots. end of story.
Lets no get carried away that the Giants own the pats, sure they beat them in the two Super bowls which are obviously huge wins. I would take the Belicheck Brady era over the TC and Eli era everyday and twice on Sundays. Lets see how their careers end up?? Eli good luck making it to 5 superbowls, and a few AFC Championship games winning the division like 10 out of the last 11yrs. Oh and by the way I don’t see you banging any Super models anytime soon.
Prez is a jews Jew
Prez is a jews Jew
Thornton…you’re a joke. I’m pretty sure the only revenge that can be considered revenge is if Belichick can ever beat Coughlin in a big game. Coughlin 2-0 in super bowls against the Pats, Belichick 0-2 in super bowls against the Giants. You’re a fag
Throw the jew down the well is really starting to grow on me.
Also, aside from Bostonworm, Pats fans did a good job of not making themselves look like angry bitter cunts on this post. Good job, you’re learning.
Still can’t run the ball or play defense.
I love this notion that the Giants “own” the Patriots. Both Super Bowls could have obviously gone either way. Two unbelievable Giants catches and a few Pat drops. If the Pats played the Giants 10 times in a season, I say they win 8 of them. The Giants aren’t far off, but the Patriots are the better team with the better coach. Giants could easily not make the playoffs next year, while it’s hard not to pick NE not win the East. Fuck off NY.
Fuck this. I love the Patriots. Tom Brady is Jesus. But the Super Bowl was the most infuriating game I ever watched. Belichik LET them score that last TD. Sure Giants could have kept pounding and got it in, they were on fire, but the Patriots stopped playing defense at the end of the game. BULLSHIT. DEFENSE WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS. and a lack of defense cost them the championship.
Also, too many dropped passes at the end of the game. Wes Welker is one of the most pass catchers in the NFL. Without Wes Welker, Patriots don’t even get to the Super Bowl. He is a hard working tough as nails bastard. That being said……… FUCK WES WELKER. If the ball touches your hands, it is catchable.
The game was lost because of lack of defense at end of game, and dropped passes by Welker, Branch at the end also.
I am still pissed off beyond belief, the Patriots fucked it all up.
Needless to say, most of the rage comes from the bucket of cash I lost on the game. I took them at the moneyline at -130. Just needed that win.
You fucking homos are too stupid to realize why I consider NY a bandwagon franchise – of course there’s plenty of guido/white trash/blue blood douchebags born and bred in NY/NJ who are true blue Giants fans – NO SHIT. My point is that the entire NYC is a bunch of fake-ass wannabes, I lived/worked there for 1.5 years and wanted to blow my fucking brains out. Its a fucking cesspool of human trash – not bad to spend a night or 2 in, but live??! Fuck no. I went to some games out there – filled 1/2 the stadium w/ non-NY’ers and fairweather know-nothing sports fans. I just can’t fucking stand it there, has nothing to be w/ being from MA/Boston and everything w/ being a decent human being.
BTW – you notice I said I lived and worked in NYC faggots? Hated it there. H A T E D it – moving from park slope to Hoboken helped a little, but working in/aorund the rotten apple is torture after a couple months. I don’t need to justify my opinions – I lived all over the fucking place, which gives me enough experience to know that MA is one of the best places to live and home to some of the “realest” people around – Assholes? Maybe. But at least we aren’t fake. NY is turning into LA. Go fuck all yourselves. Long Island is garbage.
okay Bostonworm keep tellng yourself that, i go to school in New England and THAT is fucking torture. all every single person fucking talks about is how there actually from fucking Boston, or how there from southie or some shit. on top of that they hate everybody else who isnt from new england and are the least open, simple minded, immature cockfucks on the face of the planet. good thing i had my team to be tight as hell with. and BTW every city basically sucks
well they also talked about how much more they knew about every single sport then you. even if you played that sport and they didnt they knew more. they hate somebody because of where there from not because of who they are….shitty fucking way to live.
Wow, awesome Star Trek reference you fucking loser
