Week 6 vs ATL - 2nd half

• Little break there. They don't pay me enough to work straight through, sorry.
• Not a good drive by Eli. I don't know. I wonder if that late INT messed with his head a bit.
• "Joey's our guy, he's going to come on and get us a quick touchdown." Wow. The power of positive thinking.
• Is there anyone on the planet luckier than Jimmy Kimmel? In terms of talent -> success ratio. He doesn't suck, and he seems like a nice enough guy. He's actually funnier when he sits in on the Howard Stern show. And I have to give him some credit for flying back and forth between L.A. and New York for a week, filling in for Regis in the morning and then doing his show at night. That's incredibly weird. "I like to be on television as much as possible...I'm going to be co-hosting The View, then maybe I'll be on a soap." Seriously though, he's gonna be tired. I'm tired now and I don't have to fly anywhere.
  
• Four guys in the booth - doesn't work.
• You gotta catch those balls, Giants defense.
• Roddy White. RODDY WHITE??? At least they didn't let him go all the way.
• Again, I know it's a stupid thing, but the way receivers stay in bounds
  
• "You know, Eli Manning has a brother in the NFL." I like that. "I once saw him on a commercial." You know what? Put him in the booth with Kornholio and Kompany and you realize that he's a comedian, and those guys are sports dudes trying to be funny.
• "Warrick Dunn carries for less than a half yard..." And yet, this team isn't in the no-wins-yet club.
• Another sack. A weird one, Tuck just kind of fell into Joey, then Tuck's helmet came off.
  
• Giants are wilting a little here. Is it Eli? Is it the team? I think its both.
• Eli has a real dopey look on his face. The kind where you want to grab him and say, "Hey! Schmendrick!
  
• Oh shit. Hall snatches the pass meant for Toomer. Shockey makes a nice stop... which draws a flag. I don't know about that. Low block? What's he supposed to do? It wasn't much of a block, he kind of rolled at him.
• Toomer should've had him.
• Oh wait, the penalty was for a block on somebody else. Shockey probably did it. But he also probably didn't know he did it.
• Aaaand... the Falcons do nothing. NICE.
• Is there any possibility that the Cavemen sitcom will be any good?
• Eli Manning is clearly the best quarterback in the NFL... playing tonight.
• So rather than discuss the game, let's discuss Eli. Again. You know what? He's a decent quarterback. Maybe he suddenly becomes great but I doubt it.
  
• How is it that Shockey always falls down when he catches the ball?? That was a nice catch, and he wasn't going any further than where he got. But he always falls down. It's bizarre.
• Nice stiff arm by Toomer.
• Dangerous throw by Eli. It worked this time but that makes me nervous. I guess it's like getting back on the horse when you fall off - thread the needle, no INT, you feel better, etc.
• Stupid challenge overturning the catch. I'm with Jaws, they're wrong. He got his hand under it.
• Oh for fuck's sake, Tynes. First Scottish-born player. My countryman. Maybe we need to make him the last Scottish-born player. He makes it. Seriously, he makes me nervous. But this time he made it.
  
• I wonder if the guys in the booth start to get bored when the game isn't close and it starts getting late. Sounds like it.
• See, when Tony talks sports and doesn't try to be funny, he's OK.
• Decent run by Reuben Droughns. If Tiki and Ron Dayne were "Thunder and Lightning," what are these three (Jacobs, Ward, Droughns)? The Sun, The Moon and The Stars? Kukla, Fran and Ollie? Father, Son, Holy Ghost? Moe, Larry and Curly?
• Derek Anderson will be a restricted free agent. All of a sudden that's actually slightly newsworthy.
• Red Sox loooooooose. Ha ha.
• This game is kind of limping towards a conclusion. Maybe not limping. More like yawning. No, that's not it either. I'll find the word. Loping? That's better.
• Byron Leftwich says he's "not a backup in this league." He wants to play. So I'll give him that. "I know I'm here for a reason." But dude? You are a backup. And your former team is 4-1 without you. Bummer.
• The Falcons really look like they'd rather just go home. It's almost sad.
• Some enormous Falcon just fell over the line for an "encroachment" penalty.
• Jacobs is questionable now, so is Ward. For tonight at least. But if Droughns keeps busting out 45 yard runs like that, it won't matter. It also helps to play high school teams the Falcons.
• Damn. Giants have had the ball for 38 minutes and have over 400 yards of offense.
• OK, Ward must not be all that hurt, since he just ran in a TD. OK, strolled in is more accurate. Tynes even made the extra point. It's like Christmas and Chanukah on the same day.
  
• So according to Korny the problem before was that Tom Coughlin was a cranky butthead before. Now he's mellowed out a little and the team is playing better. Maaayyybe.
• OK, J.Load is in. This game is over. That's all for tonight.
