Hopefully there will be better news next week.

Come on Eli, give us the W. As for me, I think I’ll need a Xanax to properly enjoy the game today.

I went up to Albany for a couple days to see the Giants in training camp. The above pic was taken by my friend Rob. It was an amazing thing to see in person. This new kid Ramses Barden is a beast.

It’s always nice to get away for a while. Albany is a great town and I always enjoy spending some time there.

I’ve been going up there for seven or eight years now to watch some early football and hang out with my fellow, hardcore, NY Giant fans. Sadly, this may be the last time for us to get together this way. Odds are that next year the Giants will be holding their training camp at their new facilities in New Jersey.

“We’re playing three night games there this year and we’re very excited about it,” coach Rick Punzone said of the permanent fixtures. His school had played the occasional Friday night game in the past using portable lights, but now can make that a regular portion of future schedules.

Babylon should again be in the spotlight in Suffolk Division IV this season. They will be led by returning All-County star Bryan Schweitzer, a running back/middle linebacker, and 270-pound fullback/defensive tackle Sean Melow (above in orange shorts, shedding a blocker during drills on Wednesday). Quarterback/defensive back Greg Griffo and wide receiver/defensive back Alex Grandal also are veterans.
