Okay, Ease Off, It's Just A Friggin' Mini-Camp

Manning Does Badly At First MiniCamp (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylc=X3oDMTBpNWZic251BF9TAzI1NjY0ODI1BHNlYwN0aA--?slug=ap-giants-manning&prov=ap&type=lgns)

You're kidding me, right? AP has a writer assigned to critique Manning's first minicamp?

Look, I'm not a big fan of his after the whole San Diego thing either, but it's just a stupid minicamp! If New York City football fans are this starved for news about Manning, imagine what will happen when he throws his first interception in a regular season game!

(BTW, the assumption there is that the AP is writing about this because they have enough people who actually care about this, but it's an entirely possible some AP editor from the New York area is being a numbskull in bothering to assign someone to this, regardless of actual interest...)

There is more press here than the whole state of Mississippi combined,'' Manning said.There aren't as many in San Diego, rook.

They did the same with Elway in 1983.

I pretty much expected Ali to do bad in his first minicamp...he's never played with anyone on that team ever. Of course his passes with be off.

The most interesting thing I heard was about the 7-10 complaints from Giants players about Coughlin...do these players even WANT to win? If you go 4-12, there should be a rule that says everythign that was once volunteery is manditory. Get your asses out there and work. You were 4 and 12!! Damn crybabies.

Exact words that went through my head (minus the "rook" part).
