If the first two offensive possessions of the 2008 NFL season are any indication, the defending Super Bowl-winning New York Giants are looking like champs once again.
The G-Men took the opening kickoff off tonight's clash with the Washington Redskins and promptly marched 84 yards in 11 plays for a touchdown. Quarterback Eli Manning, one of the many heroes during New York's remarkable postseason run last winter, completed 4-of-7 passes for 68 yards on the series and capped it with a one-yard run to paydirt. Wide receiver Plaxico Burress, the proud recipient of a new two-year contract extension, caught three of those strikes for 60 yards.
New York's defense flashed its 2007 form as well on Washington's first drive. On the Redskins' initial play from scrimmage, quarterback Jason Campbell was sacked by end Justin Tuck for an eight-yard loss, leading to a quick three-and-out. Who needs Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora, anyway?

Alright! How about those Giants! They came out early and Eli looked like the MVP of last years Super Bowl! Awesome work! It's going to be a great year!!!
Hey, I figured I would share a little tip for any fellow G-Men fans looking to go to a game at Giants Stadium this year…
If you are looking to save some money but see a game then wait till Wednesday night or the Thursday before the game. These are the days when ticket holders start to reduce ticket prices big-time on sites like StubHub, RazorGator and eSellOut… Why? Because many of the guys still holding tickets live out of the state in areas like California or Texas even and have no chance or want to attend the game BUT they would much rather take $50-$100 for their tickets instead of nothing. Think about it this way…If you tried to get tickets off a scary scalper on game day your walking around with at least $300-$500 cash without any idea of what you might get. Personally I always use eSellOut because it is independently owned and I think they tend to be a little easier to use and often more cost friendly. Check them out: http://www.esellout.com/ResultsGeneral.aspx?kwds=New+Yotk+Giants or use who you are comfortable using BUT try this method sometime and notice how much money you will save the next time you head off to a game!
