WHOA. Giants Trade Jason Pierre-Paul To The Bucs For Draft Picks
I did NOT see this news coming when I woke up this morning. I mean, I can’t say I’m shocked that the Giants would look to move on from JPP since there is a new defensive scheme, a HUGE contract involved, and JPP could frustrate the fuck out of a franchise both on and off the field. The Giants were paying JPP to be the guy that gave Tom Brady nightmares during Super Bowl XLVI and he simply wasn’t that guy anymore. So now he is taking his talents back to the same city he played college football and the Giants clear some money to lock up Odell Beckham Jr. and Landon Collins for performing at an All-Pro level
To see Gettleman come in and trade one of the biggest names on the team for pretty much just a 3rd round pick truly means its a new era with the Giants even moreso than cutting Bobby Hart, benching Ereck Flowers for the last game of the nightmare season of 2017, or actually investing in some Hog Mollies. There is more living off of past accomplishments or the Jerry Reese Scholarship Fund. The New York Giants are clearly not about the pass rush 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and will let the rest of the chips fall where they may. I mean Gettleman even had the gaul to trade for a true NFL linebacker! Yeah there is a chance that the Giants take Bradley Chubb at 2 or trade back and try to get him. But I still think they go QB at 2 if they even like a guy. And I feel like Josh Rosen is going to be that guy.
Speaking of the Reese Era, WOOF!!!
Four draft classes and nothing left to show for it. Reese could hit a 500 foot shot with picks like Beckham and Collins but he also clearly whiffed a lot too. Adam Dunn as a GM. JPP was definitely a solidly hit double that could have been a home run but injuries and stupid shit ended all that.
At least the secondary looks better than last year. And I’m making that call based strictly on Janoris Jenkins tweet from yesterday.
Start the season tomorrow! Fuck it, I’m calling my shot now.
Double stamp that shot! No, triple stamp that double stamp!

And to Sales/Evening Yak Producer/Bucs Film Guy Steve, here is the only film you need on JPP.
If you can’t fall in love with a guy that could do that, admittedly now with 8 fingers, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s also fun to watch JPP beat people up with his club, but that fun goes away when he can’t grab the quarterback and it leads to a 50 yard pass down the field.
Also, I’ll just come out and say it. Schefter did JPP dirty by leading that tweet off with “Blockbuster”. Perhaps a little payback from that lawsuit?
Now time to go on Twitter and read all the JPP 3 finger jokes.
Okay, I LOL’d
