Week 2 of the 2018 NFL season for the N.Y. Giants has exposed them and it’s franchise quarterback Eli Manning as being a pathetic, ineffective weak ass team. Despite the hiring of a new general manager, head coach and offensive and defensive coordinators, a stellar draft pick for running back, and a massive 95 million dollar contract for a douchebag though phenomenal wide receiver along with another great young receiver and tight end from the last two drafts shoring up a potentially high octane offense. Somehow, although saddled with a porous offensive line that is deservedly and hysterically mocked, Eli is unable to move the chains and get to the end zone with all these weapons that were given to him. As the Giants look like they are going to repeat the low scoring futility, averaging less than 20 points a game, that made them the worst team in their history in 2017. (It should be noted that Eli’s ineffectiveness was apparent even in their last playoff season the year before as they couldn’t even score 20 in their last 4 weeks and relied on their defense to bail them out.)
It’s more than obvious now that Eli is past his prime and has to be benched again. But since the Giants gave up their backup quarterback Davis Webb after letting him play not even one snap and only for few quarters in a preseason game, they don’t have much talent waiting there on the bench with another quarterback they drafted and some career bench warmer. Considering that the Giants pick of Saquon Barkley (which was a good move, every team needs a superstar, multifaceted running back to get a ring, examples Emmitt Smith and Marshall Faulk) was motivated to get to and win the Super Bowl this year, they aren’t going to get far with Manning’s pathetic performance.
The Dallas Cowboys trouncing of the Giants on Sunday night showed Manning throwing short most of the time and frequently missing targets downfield, more specifically not seeing them. Eli’s instincts has clearly fell off. One noteworthy play early in the game had him faking to Barkley and setting up to throw and then immediately threw it back to Barkley on the sidelines at the line of scrimmage for no gain. Eli also is afraid to run. Not counting the two quarterback sneaks for first down (showing the O-line is actually not as lousy as they are being portrayed, they just mildly suck), which Al Michaels scoffingly pointed out was the first time Eli had done that in 8 years, he barely moves in the pocket, sometimes not at all, and makes bad rushed judgements leading to easy sacks and interceptions.
At 0-2, the Giants are looking at another lost season, but it can be stemmed if the owners and Gettleman act quick and make a drastic and in this case, revolutionary move. And that is to sign Colin Kaepernick.
Why and how?
Why. Because Eli is going to get worse, the thought that he will win another Super Bowl has been a crackpipe dream for a very long long time. He’s lost it, most apparently his instincts to find open receivers. And even though it’s still summer in the NFL, it’s rigoddamdiculous that he spends 57 minutes of the game barely producing and only gets the offense going in the last two fifteen. And there is also the potential for injury which Eli has admirably avoided throughout his career but now his stability has become a liability as he clearly plays the game like he’s trying to save his own ass. And the backups are questionable to say the least (who thinks draft pick Kyle Auletta is going to be Tom Brady?).
In contrast, Colin Kaepernick, who also has never got hurt, would massively thrive with this offensive unit. And not only that he runs. He runs a lot, he has amassed over 3,500 yards rushing in his short and disrupted career, averaging over 5 yards a carry, so even with the Giants weak offensive line, he can still easily evade blitzes and the pass-rush of the best defenses in the NFL. Because of this skill set, he can assuage the mental and physical health of his (possible future) teammates and make them perform better.
And Kap’s agility will also benefit the superstar players, Barkley and Beckham Jr., whose personal stats will explode with him in the backfield calling the plays and bring out the massive potential in WR Sterling Shepard and TE Evan Engram. Opposing defenses will be so nervous and overzealous, penalties will happen with regularity giving the Giants gift yardage in false starts, holds and pass interference.
Kap is pure catalyst, motivator and a true leader, as his Super Bowl performance showed when he brought his team, the 49ers, back from certain defeat in the second half but came up short against the Ravens. His acquisition will result in an offensive triumverate since the Dallas Cowboys dynasty in the 90’s when they had Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin leading them to three Super Bowls.
How? That’s the dicey part, because Kaepernick is in court suing the entire NFL for collusion against his right to play and his right to protest for social justice and against excessive abusive force and endemic corruption by police and the biased justice system that enables it. If the Giants give him a contract, they could exempt themselves from this lawsuit (I think).
The Giants, while turning their team into an unstoppable juggernaut, could also see their viewership and ticket sales go up with signing Kap. Now that his Nike endorsement deal has seen their overpriced wage-starved worker made gear spike up, the NFL and the networks would also see a big jump in their ratings too, for people are going to tune in to see if he kneels again and will be curious to see how he plays. Viewership will certainly go up locally for New York and New Jersey if Kap picks up where he left off and plays great, resulting in wins.
As for the National Anthem, if the Giants win with Kap, nobody is going to give a shit. Besides, the new NFL regulations state that you can wait in the locker room, like they used to until the Pentagon started using our tax dollars to exploit the anthem for advertising and recruitment in 2009. Oh, and other players are still kneeling anyway and without repercussion. And our president, Figurehead Trump, after all his distracting carping and dictatorial demands for standing for the anthem is as of now, tremendously irrelevant now that everyone knows that he is not actually running the country and his aides are doing all the policy work for him, according to the deep state manifesto in the NY Times last week.
Giant fans have been frustrated way too long, despite Eli winning two Super Bowls. Kap getting them back in it will make people forget about his silent protests real quick. But like the free market now knows thanks to Nike’s new ad campaign, the majority of people do want equal justice and an end to police abuse and brutality and want widespread change to take place in political office. The Giants really can’t go wrong with signing Kap to a deal and the NFL and the team owners would really save and earn a lot of money if they just admit to collusion, agree to a settlement and lift the ban.
The Giants can’t go on with Eli motionless and constantly backing up and dumping the ball avoiding encroaching defenders. And if there is an ideal comparison on why Kaepernick needs to be under center is that the last time a professional athlete was this outwardly political was Muhammad Ali and after he got suspended, he came back to boxing and won 2 more championship belts. With all this offensive talent the Giants drafted in the past 5 years, it’s just going to waste with Eli Manning’s futility and apparent declining skills.
Kaepernick is not only better than Eli athletically but also as a person. He has donated millions of dollars and locally here has contributed over 30 grand to a non-profit that provides suits for unemployed people in Jamaica, Queens. While Eli’s off-the-field contributions was only to himself as he tried to pull off a scam selling bogus memorabilia from his playoff and Super Bowl victories. So Kap is way better for the Giants team image wise.
As the Giants face another killer defense, with two rampaging mastodons J.J. Watt and Javeadon Clowney when they face (and get shut down by) the Texans on Sunday, there is no more time to waste. Gettleman and the Mara’s have to reach out and fix this pronto. Sign Kap to a temp deal. The transition can be smooth, sign Kap and let him warm the bench for a while and let him get the rust off during practice during the first half of the season and keep Eli starting. If the Giants are 2-6 when week 9 comes around and the division is still tight (and it probably will, the NFC east is looking pretty least especially after the Super Bowl champs loss to Tampa), then tell Pat to give Eli the long overdue benching and get Kap on the field and watch the offense explode. It’ll be so natural and right.
Because Eli is not going to win another Super Bowl, no matter how much you wish for it. For the good of the franchise. Put Colin Kaepernick in Giant blue. Don’t turn this season into the wretched turd like last year and make this right.
To loosely quote that sport gear corporation, just fucking do it. So the Giants can start fucking winning. Enough of the excuses, the lame hindsight, underachieving and the shit playing. Sign Kaepernick and the revolution will be live every Sunday.
Attendees spending thousands of dollars at the U.S. Open have witnessed the worst moment in sports history in this early century and perhaps even all time in not just tennis but in all sports. Serena Williams put on a display of wretched entitlement ,nauseating petulance and a cunning manipulation on the emotions of the audience and even her better opponent.
After getting trounced by Naomi Osaka in the first set and up 1-0 in the second but down 40-15 in the second game, Williams got penalized by the umpire when he caught her clumsy husband coaching her from the stands, which compelled her to debate him about the charge and defended herself, rather amicably, that she would never cheat to win. Which brought the crowd to cheer. As she sat down on the sideline though, she wouldn’t shut up about and kept on defending herself.
Later on as Serena was up 3-1, she double faulted and Osaka caused Williams to hit the net trying to return her volley and cut the lead to 3-2, which compelled her to throw her racket to the ground destroying it. The umpire then penalized her for “racket abuse” and awarded points to Osaka for the cheap act. Which compelled Williams to futilely argue with the umpire and demand an apology from him. After Osaka won her third straight game to take the lead at 4-3, Williams continued to berate the umpire over the cheating call and threatened his livelihood by proclaiming that he will never officiate a match for as long as she is competing while still demanding an apology and calling him a thief, leading the umpire to penalize her entire game, giving Osaka the lead at 5-3.
Serena Williams, princess of tennis, runner-up and bad mama loser.
After calling out the officials to appeal the penalty and blabbering about her rights as woman being violated and returning to the court with a sour puss expression, she managed to sweep Osaka and take the next game 5-4 and audaciously went to complain some more. The match finally ends as Osaka delivers a laser ace serve causing Williams to nearly fall on her face vainly to hit it, ending the match with Osaka winning the Championship.
Serena Williams conduct during the second set was a level of shitty sportsmanship (or is sportpersonship, who knows in this era of identity politics?) that resembled the hysterical cunning tactics of the biggest heel wrestlers that would stall and mince during their matches just to gain an advantage. Which is what Williams clearly did with heir feigned outrage by portraying herself as some sort of leader of women’s rights, for although it wasn’t obvious to her adoring crowd and the ESPN announcers that she pulling these stunts because she was getting her ass kicked by Osaka, who by beating Williams was the only person denying her right to a record tying Grand Slam total.
Serena bawled and bitched to her own detriment, but her histrionics overshadowed the dominant playing and the victory of her super-talented formidable opponent. As Naomi wound up sobbing as she sat down instead of being elated at making history not only as the first Japanese player to ever win and do it by beating the best (well, second best) female tennis player of all time.
But the degradation, of the winner and tennis, was not done. At the presentation of the trophies, the rabid crowd of rich jerks immediately booed, then USTA President remarked “how this wasn’t the finish that we were looking for” and went on to give Serena, the loser, tongue bathing her with undeserved praise with Naomi standing right there looking depressed. The sickening elevating of Serena’s second prize acceptance actually caused Naomi to feel guilty for beating her opponent and almost dropping her trophy before raising it high.
It should be noted that the person who awarded her the 3 million cash prize was a marketing exec from J.P. Morgan Chase, the too big to fail corporation and bank that was sponsoring the tournament. Which did a bunch of ads featuring the princess of tennis and self-anointed women’s rights leader prior and during the tournament. It’s quite possible that when the USTA and that ESPN guy mentioned that it wasn’t the ending they wanted, the they may have also meant J.P. Morgan Chase, which must have produced a big expensive post victory commercial featuring their narcissistic pitch woman. Osaka’s grand finale ace certainly put the kibosh on that ad campaign and also the obnoxious pernicious influence of corporation and sports/entertainment vertical integration.
But the true lasting thing is that Osaka’s victory wasn’t even about politics or marketing, it was about playing the game. Playing it good and playing it right. And Serena played it like a woman obsessed with her own legacy and greed foremost on her mind. And having the audacity to tie it to women’s rights and revoltingly playing the victim of feeling hers were violated. Without a thought in her mind that with her distracting and cunning stunt, she was hypocritically denying the right of another woman, Naomi Osaka, the right to compete and win too.
And although she congratulated her and consoled her during that traumatic episode. Williams never apologized her. And still hasn’t while she is still harping about an apology from the umpire for the past week. Apparently for Serena, women’s rights are there for her to exploit to get what only she wants.
New York City’s government office NYC & Co. has created a tour itinerary centered on the places frequented by the unbridled, obnoxious, incorrigible, and vagrant booze imbibing of the wealthy women from the “reality” “show” The Real Housewives Of New York” where the billions of tourists that have subsumed this city can see the sights where the ladies get away with derelict behavior that any other citizen would get arrested for.
Manhattan
In Inwood, a group of people hanging and chilling out, listening to music in front of a car dealership lot were confronted by two cops responding to a noise complaint. As the men were removing their stuff, one of the cops takes the speaker that was plugged into a lamppost and puts in the unmarked patrol car. As the man that was disputing the seizure walks away the cop, Detective Nunez, grabs him from behind and puts him in a chokehold and then shoots him with a tazer. Over 20 other cops show up later to assist in the arrest.
Detective Nunez, whose prior uses of excessive force, which includes a warrantless home invasion of two elderly people, has cost the city over $250,000 is part of the Mayor de Blasio’sneighborhood coordination program, an optic and image conscious effort to be in touch with the neighborhoods and communities the precincts serve and protect.

As the woman slunk to the floor in exasperation, the creep returned and menaced her at the front door.

Stay safe and be aware of your surroundings. You are the future…
A book is about to be released next week by legendary journalist Bob Woodward about the presidency of Donald J. Trump. According to reports, mostly by the New York Times and covered by the news media, it’s all about the toxic chaotic atmosphere in the White House and confirms a lot of generally held beliefs about the mental stability, actual power and decision-making of and brutal opinions from those serving at the pleasure of the President.
But most importantly what Woodward revealed is that the Deep State is vitally alive as well. Now that it/they have officially come out in the open thanks to the New York Times giving consent to let a current top level White House administration official (or officials) to write an anonymous scathing and quite unsettling op-ed in their paper in an attempt to reassure the citizenry of this nation that despite Trump’s wayward style of governing and policy making, the nation is stable because they got everything under their control. This op-ed defends actual real time collusion against the commander-in-chief.
Despite Trump being a vile human being, profoundly ignorant of what his job entails and is using the position to enrich himself, his family and to bolster his own businesses (and maybe because he needed a new job), this op-ed goes against everything this nation stands for being that a group of individuals are undermining and making insignificant the actual job and leadership of the presidency along with disenfranchising the rights of the voters that put Trump in office by plotting and childishly stealing policies behind his back. It doesn’t matter how acerbic his personality is, how incorrigible his conduct has been or how unpredictable his thought patterns are.
And they are proud of it and are not at all ashamed that these acts were committed. The defiant and boastful condescension by the anonymous official (or possibly officials) about these deeds leave open the possibility if these tactics were done before in past administrations led by daft, declining and overmatched elected leaders like W. Bush, Reagan and Obama.
This op-ed was clearly written and permitted by a major news publication because Woodward’s book more exposes the incrimination of the officials under Trump in sabotaging policies that they don’t wholly agree with than it incriminates the brazen stupidity of the President himself. Or make that Figurehead, as this book confirms my moniker of him in past posts being that his decisions and the people that voted in 2016 don’t matter and essential choices about this nation’s future are being made in secret by certain officials.
And from the choice of words in this op-ed, especially the references to free markets and deregulation and a strong military, these signs point the authors to be Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin or Chief of Staff John Kelly, although Vegas set the best odds on Vice President Pence. What’s more insulting about this op-ed besides the admission of officials dictating policies is the re-appropriation of the word “resistance” and the official rebranding of the administrative conspiracy as “the steady state” and the writer(s) claim that they are did these things for moral reasons, like the trillion dollar oligarch welfare tax cut and the heinous immigration policy.
Unfortunately, because everyone in the White House are deplorable untrustworthy reprobates from the chief executive on down, the deep steady state is attempting to normalize these illicit and almost treasonous tactics as business as usual and in the dubious concept that they are doing this for our protection. Leaving an uncomfortable impression that they can (and had) will be colluding behind the back and undermine the decisions of the next elected President in 2020.
But since 2016, from the electoral victory of Figurehead Trump to this deep steady state manifesto shows…
Update
After watching some youtube vids about the Deep State Manifesto op-ed written and approved by the editors in the New York Times, I have to revise my guess about who the author of the long-awaited leak was. And all signs point to pollster, pundit and counselor to Figurehead Trump, Kellyanne Conway.
This came to me from a few Young Turks vids focusing on this expose’ on Trump’s descent into executive madness and a big tell from the op-ed itself. One person on the comments page just wrote “the leak is Kellyanne Conway” and that got me to thinking. This woman, who was all over the place on cable news when Trump was campaigning and after he won and then her role was marginalized and is only been seen occasionally in the last few years since his inauguration, but still defending the deceptions of Trump and his administration with unadulterated moxie. So there is the motive of revenge.
And her husband George apparently really loathes Figurehead Trump too and he shown his irreverence towards him any chance he gets on the Twitter, Trump’s favorite venting platform
Then there was a tell in the op-ed:
“This isn’t the work of the so-called deep state. It’s the work of the steady state.”
This rebranding of an unelected insidious colluding cabal running the White House is similar to Kellyanne’s classic description of the journalism detailing the real crowd size at Trump’s inauguration as “alternative facts”. In fact the whole op-ed describes how awesome the administration still is according to the leaker that it comes off like a person who still wants to keep his/her job or get promoted in the ranks when/if Pence takes over in 2019. This op-ed manifesto is basically a big part of her skill sets from her pollster marketing expertise and also an ersatz job resume.
And finally when Secretary Of State Mike Pompeo was asked if he wrote or knew who the op-ed author was during a press conference after letting out the hugest forced sigh, a few seconds after defensively responding about the article and slamming the leaker and the paper of record he uttered the words “she had” real fast before going on his mild rant.
Mike knows who the op-ed author is, and it’s certain that everyone in the new steady deep state collective knows who it is too.
And maybe, just maybe, so does Figurehead Trump. Who is too afraid to let someone with so much insider dirt that Kellyanne is storing that the rails will truly come loose and derail this wretched presidency. No wonder the book is called Fear.
Update 12.4.20 :
It turned out it wasn’t Mrs. Conway at all, but a dashing young fellow named Miles who was the chief of staff of the Department Of Homeland Security that wrote the Deep State Manifesto and a book about his complications and the machinations he and his colleagues were doing while working for Donald J. Trump. As for Kellyanne, well she’s looking forward not backward herself and is looking forward to contribute in some way to maintain the establishment norms of the “Steady State” that keep this system running smooth even during a pandemic and a wealth disparity crisis.
