waidasekend...waitasekend... dis reportah hazit all wrong!! Camp Eli sucked -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2...oboken_ca.html Politi: Eli Manning's Hoboken camp not as fun or glamorous as 'Jets West' Published: Thursday, May 12, 2011, 5:00 AM By Steve Politi/Star-Ledger Columnist The following is a postcard from Camp Eli, which holds its final workouts today. Dear Boss: Greetings from Hoboken High! Well, I’m just outside of school property, actually, as per strict orders from security. I’ve been standing here on a city sidewalk, outside a wrought-iron gate, watching a handful of mostly Giants practice-teamers run pass patterns with Eli Manning. A group of kids from a neighborhood day care just visited, but after one yawn-filled minute, they went back for a nap. Which brings me to the reason I’m writing. Can I come home now? Yes, I know. I’ve only been here for 45 minutes. But I can tell, as offseason camps go, that Camp Eli is one crazy guy in a hockey mask away from being a total horror flick. So far, there has not been one trip to the beach, or one catered meal, or a single door prize. Didn’t Eli see what the other QB in town did? And when can I get that assignment? Mark Sanchez flew the Jets out to sunny California. He put them up in a beachfront villa. He entertained them and showed them the town. I’m not sure if Eli is even giving any of the Giants a MetroCard for the PATH. Is it any wonder player attendance has been low? Look, I know Eli should be congratulated for his leadership in organizing these workouts, which is more than some teams are having, and that the football portion is the only part that matters (and even that, truth be told, is up for debate). But when you compare his camp to “Jets West,” the unofficial lockout standings has Team Manning buried in the basement. To wit: Accommodations Jets West: Sanchez booked villas for his teammates at a five-star resort designed by a “renowned Italian Renaissance architect” that boasts “expansive views of the Pacific Ocean” and amenities like a “stocked granite wet bar” and “luxurious bathrooms with a marble walk-in shower.” I just tried to book a room for next week, and the rates start — and this is for the garden view — at a whopping $695. Camp Eli: The Giants QB offers no overnight accommodations. Samuel Giguere, a practice squad player last year, drove down from Montreal and booked his own room in the Sheraton. C’mon, Eli. You’ve got the $100 million contract. Isn’t there an Extended Stay America somewhere for the guy? Food and Drink Jets West: Sanchez had daily catered lunches from local restaurants, including fish tacos one day and a truck from the famous West Coast burger joint In ‘N’ Out Burger another. I don’t have scientific proof of this, but nothing makes a football player happier than a Double-Double or three after a long workout. Sportswriters, too, after watching one. Camp Eli: Nothing. Not even a box of Munchkins from Dunkin’ Donuts or a few buttered rolls. There was a small cooler filled with water, which was literally the least he could do. Entertainment Jets West: Sanchez took his teammates to a Lakers playoff game, where they hobnobbed with Hollywood celebrities. Also, each day at camp ended with a “skills competition,” including a water balloon toss. All Sanchez needed was to roast marshmallows and tell ghost stories at night, and he could put every summer camp in California out of business. Camp Eli: Each day of camp includes a rollicking fun game of “Dodge The Reporters,” in which Eli drives off in his SUV before addressing what, exactly, the Giants quarterback hoped to accomplish. Fabulous Prizes Jets West: Yes, that’s right. Prizes. And, by any standard, fabulous ones. Kevin O’Connell got a 65-inch 3D television, donated by Vizio, for winning the camp’s field-goal competition. Other prizes include Meister watches and iPads, and everyone got free sandals and other gear from sponsors. Camp Eli: Players are allowed exclusive access to the Hoboken High School running track, where they can park their cars and avoid the dreaded ticket and/or wheel boot if the violate the city’s strict parking ordinances. Attendance Jets West: Most of the key players made an appearance, including free agent wide receiver Braylon Edwards, who told reporters that he’d be willing to take less money to stay with the Jets. Even veteran LaDainian Tomlinson joined the workouts. Plus, several media outlets made the trip to California, with the encouragement and help of the Sanchez family. Camp Eli: Manning was throwing passes to Verona native Dan DePalma, who just wrapped up his career at Division 2 West Chester University. Tight end Kevin Boss was there Wednesday. So was reserve wideout Victor Cruz. But it was hard not to look on the field and wonder: Where is everybody? Then again, Camp Eli didn’t exactly roll out the red carpet. It won’t matter one bit if the Giants are the most prepared team once the lockout ends, but would it kill the guy to bring a dozen doughnuts? “I hope he makes up a Camp Eli T-shirt or something, man” Cruz said. “I’m going to talk to Eli, he needs to fly us to Cali or take us to Miami or something.” Cruz was laughing, but he was also heading out of Hoboken High with nary a fabulous prize in sight. But hey, at least he was leaving. Another day of this? Send a care package, Boss. We need it. Signed, Homesick in Hoboken
Yes, I tawked to a hawse. I tawked tah Secretariat. Dat was a great hawse. Secretariat wouldn't uh been Secretariat if he didn't win da Derby, but he did win and dat's why Secretariat is Secretariat. It's like Jeta. Jeta wouldn't be Jeta if he didn't win multiple World Series, but he did win so he's Jeta. If Jeta played fou' da Brewas he wouldn't be Jeta. Same thing with DiMaggio. DiMaggio's DiMaggio because he won and hit a lot of homas and hit fah high average. Dat's what made him DiMaggio. If DiMaggio played fah da Browns or Senatahs he wouldn't be DiMaggio. He'd still have gone down in history as wonna da greats, but he wouldn't be DiMaggio.
anuther report on the youge turnout by the clazzy Giantz at Eliz clazzy workoutz in clazzy Hoboken -- New York Giants QB Eli Manning's unofficial minicamp concludes with six players at final session BY Ralph Vacchiano DAILY NEWS SPORTS WRITER Friday, May 13th 2011, 4:00 AM Julio Cortez/AP Quarterback Eli Manning (r.) works out with a larger group of Giants Tuesday (above) than he does Thursday at the closing of his unofficial minicamp. Giants tight end Bosses around Jaguars Manning, Clayton hope old chemistry clicks Manning organizes Giants' Hoboken huddle Big Blue 'D' not locked in Eli: I am not a 25-interception quarterback Eli has helped throw Giants season away The final day of the Eli Manning minicamp drew the smallest group of players yet. Five players, including one undrafted free agent, joined the Giants' quarterback for Thursday's hour-long session. Only a dozen players total attended during the camp's six days. It was a surprisingly small group, considering what other teams have done. The Saints drew nearly 40 players to their workouts at Tulane University in New Orleans. The Redskins had almost 30 show up in Northern Virginia. The Cardinals have been drawing 20-30 players to their sessions in Phoenix. Even Mark Sanchez lured 15 players to his "Jets West" California camp. It's hard to tell if Manning was disappointed since he refused to talk to the media during the two-week camp he held at Hoboken (N.J.) High School. The players who showed up, though, didn't seem upset with the lack of attendance at all. "No, not at all," said free-agent receiver Michael Clayton. "This is a time right now where guys are on their own schedules. Obviously there are a lot of things going on in the world. Some guys have to take care of a family away, and that's totally understandable. "This is strictly for guys that can get away, who need to work with their quarterback. It's a plus to be here, but the guys that weren't here still have their everyday regimen in their hometown, so it's good." Manning didn't invite the Giants' defensive players or the offensive line - though left tackle David Diehl did show up twice - but he is believed to have reached out to all his receivers, running backs and tight ends. Still, not all of them showed and some made only a one- or two-day appearance. Only four players attended each of the six hour-long sessions: Manning, backup quarterback Sage Rosenfels, tight end Kevin Boss and receiver Sam Giguere. When the workouts began, most of the players seemed to expect a bigger turnout. Thursday they downplayed the importance of the "practice" time. "I wouldn't really call it a practice," Boss said. "I think you guys are making it more of a big deal than it is. We're just out here throwing the ball around, having fun." Under a hot sun in 70-degree temperatures Thursday morning, that wasn't easy. Boss, Clayton, Giguere, and undrafted free agent Dan DePalma (from West Chester University, Pa.) were the only receivers. By the end of the hour-long session they looked exhausted from running routes. "We tried to practice hard, we tried to be efficient," Clayton said. "Not a lot of guys out here so we've got to be cautious about keeping your legs up under you. But the time that we're out here has all been efficient." Though the "camp" is over, an even smaller group may continue to work out together with Manning at Hoboken High School next week. If the lockout drags on into June, Boss said they may consider trying to organize a bigger group.
az I tole awl my listners juzt lazt week, dat book by Rexz Ryan is a FLOP, a FLOP, I tellya. Itz not even in da top hunnerd bezt sellerz lizt becuz he didn't come on wit me, only wid awl dem udder hosts all over da plaze waitasekend.... waitasekend.... waitasekend...top 15?? are youz crazy???

Waitasecond, waitasecond. Now just waitaminute. Waitasecond. Da book came out in May befaw Memawial Day. What's da matta with you? Da summa readin' season hasn't stahted yet!!! Mid-May is da slowest time of da yeuh fah books. You can't look at deese ratings in da middle of May and think day mean anything. Usa ya noodle. Usa ya noggin. Da only reasons why it sold a few copies waw because Rex Ryan went on a couple shows and acted like a goofball and he wrote bad things about some playas and some coaches. Dat was his hook fou' da book. Write bad things about Peyton Manning and Bill Belichick and some Jets fans will buy da book. Okay, we have some Yankees tickets tah give away and den we'll have Jawj Vecsey in studio tah tawk about his new book about Stan "Da Man" Musial.
