Tom: My plight 2nd to Hitler's
Giant Football Blog —
... Tom Coughlin barely hung onto his job after the Giants collapsed in the second half of last season. He tried to make it seem he was oblivious when there was so much speculation he was about to be fired. Clearly, it had an impact, because yesterday he compared the barrage of criticism to what Adolf Hitler received. It was a regrettable and politically incorrect comparison, but just putting himself in the same sentence as Hitler shows the strain Coughlin was under and the degree he felt despised.
When he was asked at the NFC coaches breakfast by a football Web site reporter whether he paid attention to what was being said about him last season, Coughlin replied: " I hear some of it and I see it. You know (VP of communications Pat) Hanlon tells me about it, what's going on. " Then, he paused, and said, " Hitler and then me, in that order. Unfortunate, but it is. " Continu

Has Coughlin Completely Lost His Mind?
New York Giants —
... I don’t even really know where to begin here. The headline really sums up my thoughts. For those of you wondering what in the world I’m talking about, Tom Coughlin recently compared himself to Adolf Hitler.
Coughlin, Hitler, Mitchell, Ruegamer, Jarrett
NFL-Giants: NY Giants football news —
... probably SAM. One definite positive is that Grey Ruegamer is back giving us depth at center and guard. Speaking of offense, USC receiver Dwayne Jarrett is visiting the Giants after running in the USC Pro Day. He offered to work out again when he visits individual teams. Could the Giants be looking at him with their first round pick? He's not especially fast or strong, but he did produce in college. He won't outrun NFL cornerbacks or even safeties, but he is taller (6 foot 4)and can jump. He needs to get stronger to avoid getting jammed and become a decent blocker. Of course drafting offense means the defense waits for the help it needs. And drafting a receiver tempts the Giants to run less often.

No Punishment For Coach

... by the Giants or the NFL for his Adolf Hilter comments. While I stand by my original thoughts, I do not think punishment was necessary either. Was it a stupid thing to say? Absolutely, but nothing that should warrant action.
Carl Pavano Can't Catch A Break
The Feed —
... To say that Carl Pavano has had a star-crossed tenure with the New York Yankees is a little like saying that Tom Coughlin isn't really all that knowledgeable about what Adolf Hitler did to engender such hatred. Pavano has been injured, abused by both fans and teammates and subjected to endless conjecture about whether or not he would ever once again pitch in a big league game. The only silver lining in those hard times is that Pavano remained a very rich, good looking professional athlete which enabled him to snag high-grade poon like
