B&C Morning Show: Giants Flop, Yanks Back Atop AL East And More
The New York Football Giants began their Super Bowl title defense with a 24-17 loss to the NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys -- and saw their secondary exposed in the process, specifically their collection of cornerbacks.
Tony Romo had his way with Corey Webster and company, completing 21-28 passes for 294 & 3TDs, ultimately leading to the Giants' demise. On the offensive side of the ball, one needs to look no further than Victor Cruz - who Craig insinuated may have done a little too much salsa dancing in the off-season - after the Pro-Bowl wide-receiver dropped three Eli Manning passes last night, disrupting any kind of rhythm Big Blue's offensive unit had developed.
With all that said, Boomer & Craig were quick to point out that it was only one loss and that the 'sky is not falling' - just yet.
The Yankees righted their ship last night in Tampa Bay, beating the Rays 6-4 thanks in-part to some shoddy Rays' defense. With the win the Bombers are back in sole possession of first place in the AL East as they prepare for a four game set in Baltimore against Buck Showalter and his pesky Orioles, who are currently just one game behind Joe Girardi's gang.
Adding to the fun, Santonio Holmes says Mark Sanchez was rattled when he learned that the Jets had traded for Tim Tebow and R.A. Dickey won his 18th game of the season against just 4 losses - and remains alive in the hunt for the NL Cy Young...
