NFC Beast Notes, 8/24/2006

LaVar left Giants practice Monday with a swollen knee. I liked LaVar, and felt bad about the way things worked out between him and the Redskins. I place the principal blame for all that on LaVar's (former) agent Carl Poston, now serving a two-year suspension for the highjinks related to the non-bonus in LaVar's last contract. He's the Giants' problem now. Background here , imposition of suspension here.

With Sinorice Moss coming off injury and getting back into practice, the Giants are almost ready to assume their role as the Team With The Little Brothers Giants Fans Wish Were As Good As The Big Brothers But Everyone Knows Are Not. With Santana and Sinorice playing twice this year, get ready for some good New York media coverage.

The Eagles are considering a tryout for former Redskin Stephen Davis, released by Carolina in the offseason. The guy has had a bunch of injuries, but I bet he's got some jack left in him. What is it about Redskins players going to the Eagles? Jamie Asher, Brian Mitchell, James Thrash, Darnerian McCants, ND Kalu, Jeremiah Trotter. Jeremiah and James Thrash are the rubber band players.

Correll Buckhalter will start for the Eagles tomorrow against the Steelers. Aww, it's so sweet how they're being nice to him.


For Dallas, Terrell Owens is still talking about his fake hamstring injury. He doesn't want to play or practice in preseason. Through last week, he missed 14 straight practices, then attended 5 in a row before 'hurting' himself again. What a bitch. Bill Parcells I mean, for tolerating that shit. Bonus TO coverage: he's dropped to average third round this year in fantasy football. I took Dallas as my fantasy football defense, in the tenth round. It's the only roster spot I have from an NFC Beast team.
