    I seriously don't get this. Several writers are convinced its not the GM. TJ Lang thinks they are being stupid.

    But I truly do not know what is the upside for the coach UNLESS he is coming back next year for road testing the backups.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Only other answer is the owner wants a top 3 pick.

    I agree. But there is odd unanimity that the Giants operate with solid division of authority.

    The notable thing is that the front office and owner are not balking, so they are publicly OK with it.

    That's a great point. The Mora's have always operated with a hands off philosophy. If it wasn't for a couple of amazing plays against the Pats in the Superbowl wins, the GM (Reese?) would have been long gone. Neither Coach nor QB will be with the Giants next year. GM probably gone also.

    If memory serves we got the compensatory pick we used to move up and take a guy named Clay Matthews.

    a #2 and two #3s, including the Third rounder from the Jets for Favre. You confused me for a second there with 'compensatory pick'
