Big Blue View Kiwi: "I wouldn't play for Rush"


Controversial radio-host Rush Limbaugh is trying to buy the Rams.  But many black players are speaking out about his past racism.  Even our own Mathias Kiwanuka has spoken out.  Add Bart Scott of the Jets to the list as well.

Personally, I think Rush can have the lousy Rams (sorry Spags!).

Limbaugh's controversial comments are well-known. He resigned from ESPN in 2003 after he said the media were "very desirous that a black quarterback do well" in reference to Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb being overrated. "If he's rewarded to buy them, congratulations to him," McNabb said during his weekly press conference. "But I won't be in St. Louis anytime soon."

Big Blue View Giant 'WRecap', week 2 victory


On Saturday I polled the BBV community about which NY Giants WR would have the biggest day versus the Dallas Cowboys in their stadium opener.  There were 110 responses and no clear consensus:

Which NY Giants receiver (or TE) will have the biggest game Sunday night in Dallas?

26%   Steve Smith                29 votes
21%   Mario Manningham   24 votes
21%   Kevin Boss                 24 votes

17%   Ramses Barden       19 votes
10%   Domenik Hixon         12 votes

1%     Sinorice Moss              2 votes
0%     Derek Hagan                0 votes

We know how the game went.  Super Mario Manningham and Steve Smith each had 10 catches and a TD, while Kevin Boss was mostly relegated to pass protection.  Career days for both receivers.  More after the jump...

Assuming Manningham and Smith are starting WR's for week 3... Who should be the NY Giants #3 Wide Receiver??

Big Blue View Giants WR predictions: Ramses Barden edition


As everyone knows, the NY Giants have stockpiled a bunch of young, talented-but-inexperienced wide receivers.  Since Plax and Amani were released, we have watched the WR competition with great interest.  It's hard to predict which WR will step up and make the biggest plays from week-to-week.  Manningham looked great, but that was his 1st NFL TD.  Hopefully he can contribute consistently from week to week.  I think Hakeem Nicks is going to be the starter by years end (I'd guess by the week after the bye), but he is out for the next several weeks. 

The Giants other rookie WR, 3rd rounder Ramses Barden will be activated this week, and apparently see some game action.

Coughlin indicated WR Ramses Barden will step in for injured Hakeem Nicks (foot) . . .
