Neil O'Donnell retires
It seems that the Giants need to keep looking for a veteran QB to mentor / back up Eli Manning. AP says Damon Huard is the likely candidate, but I think it would be smarter to wait until June 1 and see if Testaverde or Gannon can be lured to Big Blue. Neil Best adds Kurt Warner to the list, notes that the Cowboys might land Testaverde, and that Ganon is due to make 7 million this year.
Kevin Robinson wrote dumbest article I've read today. He tries to compare Eli Manning to Pat Tillman and somehow concludes that Eli Manning has no patriotism. Honestly, how hard is it to understand that people look at the jobs they can get and take the one they want most. We all do. Pat Tillman is lauded as a hero because he chose the army over Arizona. Now people are trying to say the Eli Manning has no honor (yes Robinson wrote that too) because he chooses law school over San Diego and the Giants over law school? I don't get it.
