Wednesday’s Giants Links
I really can’t believe that the Bucs are favored by 3 over the Giants on Sunday. Well, it is what it is. We just got to win. If we are the underdog against the Bucs then we’re going to be the underdog all the way through. The Bucs and the Redskins are the only teams in the Playoffs with worse records than the G-MEN. Each year when we get to the Playoffs, I get all excited thinking something special is going to happen and then we lose. Eventually, the results have to change. This is the first time in a long time that we’ve faced the Bucs without Tiki. The games always got all of that extra publicity because of Ronde and Tiki.
