Fuck It, Lets Throw The "Russell Wilson To The Giants" Rumors From Colin Cowherd On Top Of Today's Giants Shit Sundae
I usually ignore rumors that come from talking head shows on FS1 and was quite content to do that after this aired earlier in the afternoon. But I thought we should throw this up on the blog because it has been a DOOZY of a day for Giants fans, so what’s one more log on the fire?
We had #LockerWatch and all its subsequent drama.
We had Odell tweeting these two tweets out right as #LockerWatch hit a crescendo.

So I felt it was only right to cap the day off with this goddamn rumor where Cowherd acts like he’s Littlefinger dropping some sort of intimate knowledge he got from an agent buddy at some hotel bar in LA. Not because I hate Russell Wilson. I would do whatever was necessary to get a legitimate franchise quarterback in New York tomorrow. But I don’t need to have my balls tickled with the thought of Russell Wilson playing for the Giants because *adjusts glasses* his wife likes New York more than Seattle and the Giants have an offensive coach! I already had to deal with the daily Odell trade rumors before those tweets despite there being another Top 3 wide receiver who is actually ON THE TRADING BLOCK and now I apparently have to deal with waiting to find out if Landon Collins could go Le’Veon Bell on us if the Giants actually give him the franchise tag.
Throwing a trade rumor about a franchise quarterback on top of all this is way too much for my brain. I get that February is a dead time of the sports year and filling your sports talk radio show or TV show or whatever The Herd is must be tough. But I don’t want to start dreaming impossible dreams right now. That part of my brain is reserved for the Knicks and we are in the deepest we have been when it comes to dreaming ridiculous dreams in years. I don’t care if it’s the final year of Russ’ contract and he owes Ciara a solid after making her go celibate before they got married. Mid-February is supposed to be the offseason for Giants/Mets/Knicks fan gypsies like me. The pain of the Giants season has given way for hope in the upcoming draft before that hope dies after an 0-3 start (we all believe the G-Men will bounce back from an 0-2 start because a muchhhhhh better roster did it and won a Super Bowl more than a decade ago). The Knicks season is usually smoldering flames with the NBA Lottery being square in our sights. And the Mets haven’t had a chance to get injured and embarrass the entire fanbase yet.
Instead we will now have to hear all the rumors of Russell Wilson ending up a Giant that my aforementioned dumb brain will inevitably start saying “You know what, it COULD happen” even though no NFL team with a brain would get rid of a franchise QB unless they absolutely had to. Do you think the Seahawks want to go back to the days where they hope Tavaris Jackson or Charlie Whitehurst are the answer at QB? Of course not, because then they would be exactly where the Giants are right now, which is QB Purgatory AKA the worst place in the NATIONAL. FOOTBALL. LEAGUE.
But again, after years of being brainwashed about how many athletes want to play in New York, knowing that agents can be true power brokers in sports (Example: The last month of Anthony Davis bullshit), how many cases of Concussion Water Wilson can sell with the power of Madison Ave. behind him, and seeing the phrase Happy Wife, Happy Life play out every day, I understand why some people will get this rumor to the point I am going to watch Russell Wilson highlights and imagine him doing crazy Russell Wilson shit with Saquon and Odell as soon as I hit Publish on this blog and it pisses me the fuck off.

Fuck February 20th for not acting like an NFL Offseason Day to all of us Giants fans. I officially rebuke February 20th in the name of the Lord.
