Mr. Scot

I think he's right to be doing it. Having it known to the public though? Not really a good thing. He'll need to 'defend' it to Rivera, who I honestly think will understand that it's just business. The people more likely to be angered by it though? The players. Rivera is very well liked in the locker room. And although they too may understand it's "just business", I'd still expect some will take offense to the news. No, Gettleman doesn't have to apologize for doing his job. But he doesn't want anything distracting the team, so he'll want to smooth this over.

Oh, it's definitely a smart move to be doing it. Probably would have been better to not have the media find out about it though

A background check isn't technically "reaching out" since it doesn't require any contact with the candidate. Still, it's a pretty big 'ouch' to have this come out now. Only real defense is "due diligence".

I've seen that clip a hundred times and it still cracks me up

Retired jersey? Agree it's unlikely. One day contract when he's ready to retire from the game? Would love that.

'Non-Panthers fan' would be more accurate, I think. Or just 'troll' for short.

Shockey and Ricky Proehl probably have little to nothing in common personality wise, but as players both had a knack for finding open spots in the defense and scoring. Guys like that may not be superstars with ridiculous stats, but they sure do help you win games.

You need guys like that.

Lord almighty, why?

That shot of Richardson in the end zone is a great pic.

I hear Sweet Caroline

Lester gets his pick now.

We have a GM and former players from there. And the Giants have put their backups in too. They know it's over.

Seriously We're about to win a game by 30 plus. Can people not just be happy?

Bill Walsh won four Super Bowls with a 'classy' team.

I hope you're kidding. Ditto. It's called not being a prick.

Ouch. Davis cost Lester that pick.

Mitchell playing smarter but still smacking people.

You guys are worried about a 38 point lead with less than four minutes left?

Yep. He's showing respect to a beaten competitor. I have no issue with it.

That's a mercy play call

Google Melvin White. You'll be amused.

Still killing it with the edge runs.

Tempting... Nah

You're kidding... Thanks Louis.
