You Talkin' to Me? The gift that keeps giving

From: Fox, Ashley To: Gonzalez, John, Fitzpatrick, Frank Re: @MrRandom73 I can't believe I'm typing these words, but here it goes: On Friday morning the New York Giants signed former Eagles offensive guard Shawn Andrews to a contract. That's right. Shawn Andrews, that guy who hasn't really played in two years. I'm sure the Eagles had the same reaction I did upon hearing the news: Is Jerry Reese really that desperate?

I can't believe I'm typing these words, but here it goes: On Friday morning the New York Giants signed former Eagles offensive guard Shawn Andrews to a contract. That's right. Shawn Andrews, that guy who hasn't really played in two years. I'm sure the Eagles had the same reaction I did upon hearing the news: Is Jerry Reese really that desperate?

Andrews is a heckuva player when healthy, but he hasn't been healthy in so long it's impossible to think he could be ready to go now. He's had back problems and battled depression. The Eagles gave Andrews every incentive to come back last season, signing his brother and his college roommate, and Andrews couldn't get it together.

Here's my question: Is there any way Andrews gets on the field for the Giants?

Re: @MrRandom73

Am I supposed to start with the 73/76 jokes now? Seems like he's worth a shot, given his talent. Though the thought of him in New York is a little scary.

Re: @MrRandom73

I'm more concerned about Andrews making his triumphant return to the Internet. I'm tired of Buzz Bissinger dominating Twitter, and I haven't seen a Michael Phelps freestyle video on YouTube in months.

Re: @MrRandom73

I guess he's been too busy getting his Michael Phelps on to tweet. Nothing there since an April post about catfish. It is a pity.

And Fitzy, don't ask. Just go along with it.

Re: @MrRandom73

Michael Phelps? Now you're in my neighborhood. We go all the way back to Sydney. Hold on while I think of a bong joke.

Re: @MrRandom73

Just think of all the material this will provide us. Team Talkin' should send the Giants a nice thank you card and maybe a fruit basket.

Re: @MrRandom73

And a huge selection of nuts, because that's what the Giants are for doing this.
