Odell Beckham And Victor Cruz Are Wearing Special 9/11-Themed Cleats On Sunday And They Are Stunning

Perfect. Simply perfect. I’m not a big sneakerhead, but I know beauty when I see it. While Adidas guys are breaking their ankles as they wear Yeezys, the Giants receivers will be soaring in Big D with Old Glory on their feet and an entire city in their hearts. Those shoes tell me that the Giants are Too Big, Too Fast, Too Strong, Too American for the Cowboys to handle. I am officially putting the GMen in as a lock for Sunday. Bet the house on them. Poor Jerruh will have to shoot pigs out of his helicopter to turn his frown upside down after Eli and the fellas are done with dem Cowboys. A++++ work out of Nike.

On a serious note, there have obviously been a lot of hot takes about the flag and the National Anthem lately. It’s a hell of a coincidence that the NFL’s first Sunday of the season is on 9/11. But I just hope that the tragic events of that awful day don’t get forgotten with the deluge of fresh takes that will come as players silently protest the Star Spangled Banner in a handful stadiums around the country.

OK, back to fun. Since it’s football Friday, here is a quick batch of Giants predictions:
Sunday’s Game: 27-20 win with Sterling Shepard announcing his presence to the league in a big way. What does that mean? I’m not going to say. The vaguer you are with predictions, the less people can make fun of you for being wrong. Journalism 101
Regular Season Record: 10-6 because while I think the division stinks, the Giants never make things easy
Player we all love: Olivier Vernon, who becomes a monster alongside JPP (obviously not a stretch but I think New Yorkers are going to LOVE Vernon)
Player we all hate: Rashad Jennings (luckily Orleans Darkwa fills in seamlessly for him)
Playoff Run: Win vs. Bucs, Win @ Cardinals, Win @ Packers, Win vs. Patriots
Players that dump Gatorade on Benny Mac after winning the Super Bowl: Victor Cruz and Odell Beckham. This blog is a flat circle
