NEW YORK, N.Y.

It’s a hell of a town

With a lot of trash talk going around.

And so with one more day yet to be lived, the Giants and Jets go at it. The coaches have not stayed out of the fray, either. The city area is hyped for this game. This is one season game that has a lot for meaning for each team. Outside of the Super Bowl, there is not going to be a more important game between these two rivals.

Plaxico Burress will look for some kind of “I told you so” revenge, depending on how you look at it, when he suits up against his old team on Saturday. Revis is no longer feared by the Giants secondary, and the two coaches are jabbering away, very pretty. The important thing is who gets to shut up and who goes on talking in the playoffs?

There will be one man in the stadium that day who will have the destiny of another’s in his hands. That man is Eli Manning, and his coach will feel every pass, every handoff, and every mistake Eli makes on the field of battle.

PICKS

Since I didn’t do all that well last week, here are the picks for this weeks mistakes. I hover the level of sucks and stinks, and hope to rise a little this week.

Houston, New England, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Washington,

Denver, Pittsburg, Giants, Carolina, Tennessee, Oakland, Detroit, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Green Bay, and New Orleans.

  

TYSON CHANDLER

OK, it’s the Nets, not the Mavericks, but the Knicks look good in their two exhibition games against the Nets. But this time, Tyson Chandler was in the mix, and the Knick fans loved it. 8 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocked shots later, Chandler is the talk of Knickstown, and the Garden.

88 – 82 was the final score, and you gotta believe as they used to say way back when, in New York. You have to wonder how good the Knicks could or should be.

That's all I wrote folks!
