Every Yankees fan is reeling today, after Joe Torre turned down a one-year contract extension offer and stepped down as the Pinstripers’ manager. The man transcended just baseball. He became symbolic with New York City over his 12 years with the Yanks. And the man had class…something that the Yankees never seemed to treat him with. I’ve had dialogue with Torre in my 9-5, 10-6 gig, ya dig? So, I’m speaking from experience and with respect when I say, Joe Torre…you are the motherf*cking man!
Now, back to the future…Week 7 in the NFL is going to be hotter than the courtroom in T.I.’s gun case. Here are some of the matchups to keep an eye on:
San Francisco at New York
Don’t look now, but Eli Manning is actually coming into his own this season and the Giants’ D is swarming to the ball. This is a game that the Giants should win, but anyone that follows the Giants knows they keep things interesting, so we shall see. But if the Giants limit Frank Gore, they should be good. Someone stop Eli from drinking milk. Dude looks like he has never sipped on an alcoholic beverage in his life.
Atlanta at New Orleans
Dogs, these teams are a combined 2-9 on the season. Wow. Starting this preview with Dogs, may not be the most appropriate thing to do here. I think the Saints will kill the WOOF, er, I mean Falcons in this one.
Monday night game
Indianapolis at Jacksonville
The Colts are favored and should be, but don’t sleep on the Jags, baby. I know Don Magic Juan ain’t and you shouldn’t either. Them Jags are running smooth, like one of Trick Daddy’s old school whips. Yeeeah.
