[azsouthendzone]

HA HA HA HA HA. This is why we are gonna rail teams this year. Our team is working 5 days a week while the Giants bi#ch about having to work too much. Memo to NY, you sucked last year, and with a rookie QB you will suck this year. When NY comes to Tempe I say Cardinals 49 NY 6. Beat em up!!!

The Giants need an "implode-a-meter"

Well that is one less team we will have to worry about beating us out of a playoff spot. The Giants are on the downward spiral.

Tom Coughlan has been in trouble before with the players association for precisely this sort of thing. Coughlan is a jerk.

I wonder if those guys who quits on Fassel last year wish he's still the HC in NY?

Players association. What a buncha crap. These guys bitch about having to work for their millions. Boo hoo. I work a crappy job making a small sum, going to college to be a teacher where I will mon't make much money and I don't complain half as much as these people, who at the minimum are making almost 300,000 a year. Immature babies.

Exactly.

The NFL Players Association is investigating complaints from players on the Giants about coach Tom Coughlin's offseason training program. NFLPA executive director Gene Upshaw did not return two telephone calls left at his office on May 7 by The Associated Press for specifics on the complaints. Speaking after a morning workout at his first minicamp as the Giants coach, Coughlin said he was aware of the complaints, which reportedly were made by seven to 10 players. "I don't know what the complaint is, so on and so forth," said Coughlin, a no nonsense-coach hired in January to turn around a team that posted a 4-12 record last season. "We have done everything the union has asked and forwarded all the information. Until I hear more, I don't have anything else to say."

Same old Coughlin.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - His voice remained steady, his face stolid. But the twitches in the corners of Tom Coughlin's eyes and mouth revealed an effort to mask anger.

He'd much rather have spent most of his first media session of his first New York Giants minicamp talking about Eli Manning. Instead, he was answering questions about an investigation the NFL Players Association and the NFL Management Council started Wednesday about how he has conducted the off-season conditioning program.

Numerous veterans said they were not among the "seven to 10" players NFLPA Executive Director Gene Upshaw says filed complaints. But Coughlin appeared particularly put out by Upshaw's claim that the NFLPA had looked into similar problems when he coached Jacksonville.

Coughlin wasn't penalized in Jacksonville, but he was investigated. NFLPA spokesman Carl Francis said Friday that he drew several complaints from his veterans. "It all has to do with the mandatory vs. non-mandatory aspects of all this."

This is so not true. They have or every single team has 83 players right now on there roster at least 30-20 of them are srubs or UDFA's who are only making $400 a week right now and wont make there minimum of $300,000 until they make the 53 man roster. Plus the rules are there for a reason so that players dont get hurt to often or to early ruining there careers. Remember the average NFL career is only lasts 2-3 years.

It sounds to me like 7-10 more players are going to be available for the other 31 teams to pick up.
