Friday’s Giants News
Osi Umenyiora has been relaxing on the beach in Hawaii sipping on some beverages, and he got sick. So Osi might get sent home and Michael Strahan would replace him if that was to occur. So, the Giants would still only have one player in the Pro Bowl. I heard that Osi went to Hawaii straight from Arizona because he has a fear of flying. I never knew that. That’s why Osi didn’t come home for the parade before flying to Hawaii.

COUGHLIN GETS ‘FACE’ TIME ON HBO - Paul Schwartz wrote about the final ‘Inside the NFL’ of the season. On the show, they recapped Super Bowl XLII. Schwartz pointed out a conversation that took place between Referee Mike Carey and Tom Coughlin. The article made it G rated because I remember what T.C. said on the show. When I watched ‘Inside the NFL’ on Wednesday night, Bob Costas announced that HBO discontinued the show after 31 years. I was heartbroken by the news. They didn’t say if there was going to be something similar in the near future. I hope HBO puts the show back on.
