After two weeks of the NFL season, the FOX studio crew was unanimous: which team at 2-0 is not for real?

Howie Long: Giants
Jimmy Johnson: Giants
Terry Bradshaw: Giants

Week 11- with a logjam in the standings, FOX runs a story on who has the best shot to win the division. With injuries in Philly and Parcells in Dallas, the piece said the Giants would not keep up and Dallas would win with the Skins second.

I know what FOX stands for- "Frantic Oblivious eX-players."

Giants? NFC East champs. Tiki Barber? MVP candidate and a rushing title in his reach. Eli Manning? 11 wins and a playoff berth in his first full season as a starter. Plaxico Buress? Best free agent signing by an NFC team.


Osi Umenyiora? Pro bowl bound and the NFC lead in sacks.


Dallas fans say god looks down on their favorite team through a hole in the roof. Skins fans can't fill the stadium for 3/4 of their games. Eagles? The team performance finally matches the attitude of the city they play in.

And so do the Giants. A big time team in a big time city.

Wellington Mara is somewhere smiling. The Big Blue Wrecking Crew is back!
