    After a weeks of standing off to the Giants, Osi Umenyiora is still without a team. The Giants want to trade him for a first round pick, which is a lot to ask for and many teams want the standards to be lowered like the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens want to give a second round pick for him. So just in case the Giants don't get the Osi back they signed Defensive Tackle Gabe Watson from the Arizona Cardinals for one year. Osi felt hurt by this move and doesn't want to play for the Giants anymore. I think this will be a huge blow to the Giants line.
               Gabe Watson hasn't played since 2007, so he might be washed up. I don't expect him to fill the hole that Umenyiora will leave.

  Today, I read some articles based on sports, more specifically the NFL. This morning I was shock to see the at Randy Moss has hanged up his cleats for retirement. He only played for 13 seasons and most receivers play for at least 16. His 153 touchdowns are tied with Terrell Owens for second on the career list, and he's also fifth in yards (14,858) and tied with Hines Ward for eighth in receptions (954). He has great stats and and had great career. Now the only question is will he inducted into the Hall of Fame. Here's a link to his top 10 moments in the league  http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-countdowns/09000d5d81b20212/Top-10-Randy-Moss-moments
           Another article I read was about how Plaxico Burress, fresh out of prison, didn't sign with either of his former teams, New York Giants or Pittsburgh Steelers. He is in the Big Apple for 1 year, 3 million with the New York Jets. Jets owner, Mike Tannebaum, was smart to only sign the wide receiver for a year to see what he has then decide to cut him or keep him.
