As for the Bradberry interview, I like him but can't stand Rome so I didn't watch/listen. Anything get said? He knows some of the players on the team already, likes the prospect of playing in a big city like NYC, and had some good things to say about Dave Gettleman. Bradberry seems like a great young man. |

Awesome. It's funny the only people I hear say bad things about DG are the guys he cuts/trades/doesn't re-sign and so far every one of them have fallen on their face and proved DG right.
Almost like when he doesn't give them lots of money they don't like him suddenly lmao. Bradberry certainly seems like a solid enough player. I didn't think we NEEDED another CB but I am glad to have him. I think this secondary will be a strength, just like when we got Spags back in the day and switched to press man.

As long as the pass rush is at least mediocre, the Giants will be good to go on defense. The lack of a pass rush has been arguably the biggest problem with entire team. When was the last time the Giants had a formidable pass rush? |

The pass rush certainly wasn't good but the LBs can't cover at all at this point. |

When was the last time the Giants had a formidable pass rush? think the last time they were really feared was when Tuck and Osi were in there prime and Strahan was the vet beast. They were good when it was Tuck Osi and JPP but Tuck and Osi were on their way out. They ere getting older. |

My guess, without looking at the stats because that would be cheating, the 2nd Super Bowl against the Pats is probably the last time we had a good pass rush. |

Seeing people out in public not following orders is certainly not helping matters. I live in SoCal and there were hundreds of people at the Santa Monica Beach this weekend alone. The longer people don't comply, the longer this stuff is going to last. Anyways, Bradberry said something very interesting about how he is working out at home. He said that he had to order some gym supplies so that he can workout at home. This is his first big time payday, so he clearly doesn't have what he needs at home as of yet in regards to getting his workouts in. It's amazing how people think that it's not gonna happen to them. its not about that though... its about having to give a **** about others more than yourself. Selfish douche bags are ALWAYS the problem. |

LOL before they started telling people to stay home I started looked at what china was doing and said thats the way I'm gonna go. It was a little easier here the beaches have been empty till they were closed so when we could go I would spend time their and see not many people. Now they are closed and every day is picture perfect so it's hard. |

and the longer it goes on the harder it will get. Already today in the White House briefings he was spouting how many people are dying of the flu and he even brought up car accidents. He is already mitigating risk factors and will no doubt start lifting some of the "bans" by day 15 of his plan. He cares way more about money than anything else. He's not alone tho. Yup I'm losing my shirt pants and everything else I might have but I'd rather be healthy, People getting this some times have months of recovery and rehab, Nvermind the not so lucky ones. H lifts these bans in week he needs to be put in a straight jacket and carried out of the white house. Notice his head doctor doesn't stand with him anymore in press conference. yeah.....I feel a big time backlash and relapse of cases etc. I hope not of course. Dr. Fauci knows what he is talking about and Trump cant have that on live TV. |

He can't lift the regulation early it will put the country under. People will get sick fast rthen they can test them or help them the health care system will be over whelmed. exactly...."flattening the curve" is to relieve the health care system and all the supplies that they dont actually have yet. He keeps bringing up that the cure is worse than the disease. He wasnts the market back up. Thats what he really cares about. If the bans are lifted and the disease makes a strong comeback ( that is if the curve has been flattened) then market will tank beyond his wildest dreams. |

Oh god please stop. Listen I am not going to try to convince anyone they should like the President or hate him but please let's not talk nonsense.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, about the only guy in Washington I trust at this point and a man both sides say is the right guy to handle this, has stated numerous times that Trump is listening to everything he tells him we should do. Trump is not making any decision, Anthony Fauci is. If you don't know who he is I suggest you look him up.

The market knows he doesn't have the power to eliminate bans imposed by individual states. It appears the markets are listening to other sources. Shame, cause a credible leader could go a long way to help the markets. But too many peeps in the financial markets are all too familiar with him. Leadership has zero to do with the markets. People panic every time anything happens. The markets took a dump long before a single American got this. People panic. You know who doesn't panic? The rich people. They are buying stocks by the boat load right now and will get even more rich. Happens every time. |

Exactly some times rich little boys have to learn these are lives human beings there is no life bankruptcy for him to fall back on there is no safety net daddy's money. These are lives that you don't get back. this is a vital time for all of us. This Putz better not screw it up or the people around him need to hammer it home, how critical this time line is he can't lift the bans until we have this thing under control. Other wise we will get buried. The way I see is this guy a business guy a CEO type. He sees everything in numbers even citizens. Right now all his numbers are waning politically,socially and economically. His motives for all his decisions are going to based on making his "numbers" look better. I really hope the people around him can help steer him in the right direction he is not built for this type of situation where he trying to put a price on life. Not everything can be solved with money sometimes there is no right choice just a hard one. Also why the hell does Boeing need a bailout they were sinking before any of this started? Presidents that rise to the occasion are hero's to the American people. this is a life changing event for the middle class. I love the Bradberry signing lol. |

COVD- 19 is serious life changing issue one missed step and we are sunk, the world went from 200.000 cases to over 300.000 case in just 4 days it is spreading faster and faster places that were on it fast with testing and or as china ddi total shut down and isolation are the only ones getting ahead of the curve and will be back to work way before places that are half stepping it. Football is better lets get back to it lol. |

You're lucky then. One of my clients just laid-off/furloughed all 20 + employees. I certainly do feel lucky. I stay humble. I have friends that are having to make worse adjustments like applying for unemployment for the first time in their lives. Things are crazy right now. unemployment isn't bad at all. I few years ago I was stunned that I was eligible after working a temp job for 6 months on a contract. It comes out of your paycheck in taxes so it's your money. If you need it take it I think I needed to spend like 5 minutes a week on the website to get paid it really isn't bad at all. |

Gettleman makes a lot of tough decisions. He takes the emotion out of it but I believe he is willing to make the unpopular decision that's in the next interest of the franchise |

Not enough data yet to establish a baseline which causes the public fear that has turned the US economy on it's heels
Once the data can determine the expansion rate and the Govt. and Private sectors work co-jointly with effective countermeasures for containment & cure and we see number of new cases flatten out, then you will see an easing of work restrictions with businesses gradually going back to work. It does not mean we are off the hook either, people are going to need to continue to be very careful in everyday life to contain this nasty bug
Hopefully this is a one and done in our lifetimes

Just letting you guys know in case you want to hear from our new #1 CB on a national platform. 11:05 AM PST. I personally like the signing, so I will be tuning in. I have nothing else to do since I'm working at home these days. Best CB we've had since C-Web. Im excited to see him play, hes physical and has size. Very underrated Janoris Jenkins at the same age was far better in every which way. |

You're lucky then. One of my clients just laid-off/furloughed all 20 + employees. There is going to be a time in the next 1-2 weeks where a serious decision is going to have to be made -- there is going to have to be a weighing of the effects of this virus versus the effect on our economy and people's lives as a result of a prolonged shut-down of our country. Just had a conversation with my town barber who told me that he is at risk of losing his business and his home to avoid getting an illness that would likely cause him to experience mild symptoms for 2 weeks (he is not in an at-risk group). Not a terrible point …. The sooner this country goes all in the sooner we can get back to life as we know it. Hopefully 30 days will do it, but if people keep being reckless the health care system will be over whelmed and we will be in bigger hole then we are now. no one will be working. |
