NFL rosters are morphing into MASH units. The litany of injuries is so bad, Tom Coughlin has turned into Mr. Rogers, spawning a "Spa Day."
Coughlin didn't have a lot of positives to say after the Giants lost for the second time in three preseason contests.
Eli Manning and the Giants' starting offense have been a preseason dud so far, but bad numbers haven't bothered the quarterback and coach Tom Coughlin.
The Giants are going to score points this season, and they know it.
The Giants, apparently, haven't decided that now is the time to put the seal on what should turn out to be a lucrative extension for Eli Manning. But don't put all the blame on them.
A perplexed and slightly miffed Manning on Wednesday shot down a report that he wants to be the league's top-paid quarterback, insisting that was not the goal in contract talks.
Should Eli Manning get what he wants, it'd go down as one of the most significant contracts in the history of New York sports.
He's not the best player, or the best quarterback, which seem to be one and the same in the pass-happy NFL. In fact, he's probably not in the top five.
On WFAN, Manning said his only concern is ending Big Blue's three-year playoff drought, adding the "contract stuff" should work itself out.
According to the New York Daily News, there is a "significant gap" between what Manning's camp thinks the veteran is worth and what Giants management is willing to pay him.

"For his development, yeah, this is where he takes that next step," said Coughlin. "He's got to move the ball, control the offense (and) put points on the board."
WFAN co-hosts Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton did their show live from Giants training camp in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Monday.
Poor performance is never just one thing. While we try to pound the pinata, put on our GM hats every year, losing is a litany of missteps.
The Giants' quarterback will earn $17 million in 2015 and then is set to become an unrestricted free agent. But it's unlikely it will ever get to that.
"I guess I just feel blessed that I've got a job," Eli told Boomer & Carton. "I'm playing football. I've never gotten concerned or worried about contract stuff."
As far as Kenrick Ellis is concerned, the grass is definitely greener in Giants' blue.
"We're getting a feel for the offense in the second year, building on things," quarterback Eli Manning said Tuesday on the first day of minicamp.
Apparently Eli Manning isn't as big a fan of "Entourage" as Doug Ellin originally thought he was.
The Giants' corporate coda should take a back seat to common sense when it comes to their best and most important player.
"Entourage" creator Doug Ellin, a Long Island kid, loves the Giants. But he's not too happy with their quarterback.
Manning, who defeated Brady twice in the Super Bowl, was not happy to see his counterpart get suspended. On the contrary, he found it upsetting.
