NYG Steve Smith on Lockout, USC, Steve Smiths & Tofu

It's not everyday you have the opportunity to share tofu culinary creations with a Super Bowl-winning Pro-Bowl wide receiver in the backyard of the greatest city on earth. Actually, we'd venture to say this sort of thing only comes about once in a lifetime.

So when we saw that New York Giant Steve Smith was serving as brand ambassador for House Foods Super Firm Tofu, we sent our North Jersey correspondents Eddie and Mike to mingle with Smith and sample various dishes featuring the stuff at (of all places) an esteemed steakhouse, River Palm Terrace Restaurant in Edgewater, NJ.

Who knows. These two manly 30 nothings may have just found themselves a new healthy summer barbecue alternative.

Thanks to our friends at Garden State on a Plate for the hookup.

--------------

House Foods put together a dinner to introduce their new line of "super firm tofu" endorsed by Steve Smith of the New York football Giants. Having never eaten anything with tofu before, I was a little hesitant at first but was assured by those around me that there was nothing to be afraid of. I mean, who even knew that tofu came in different levels of firmness? Maybe I'm just not all that worldly. In any event, we gathered in a private room at the River Palm Terrace in Edgewater, NJ. Smith said a few words and the meal was served. Everything except the main course included tofu in some form.

• Appetizers: Tomato and tofu skewers, Maryland crab and tofu cakes, chopped salad featuring tofu cubes
• Main Course: Choice between Jumbo Shrimp, King salmon, Grilled rib-eye, Filet mignon
• Desert: Tofu Cheesecake
  

As I said, I am NOT a tofu eater, but there wasn't anything on the menu that I would not order again. Everything was excellent, which I think is as much a testament to the people at the River Palm as to House Foods' great product.

Expanding my food options aside, the biggest things I learned tonight were: A. Smith is a very laid back guy, very approachable. He even seem a little nervous in talking to me (I think I intimidated him); B. He absolutely loves tofu. It sounds a little odd, but this is not a product he blindly endorses. In fact, as he notes in the video below, he approached them for the endorsement.

Thanks to Eddie Z. for the write up and video and to Mike McLaughlin for the images.

Jason Sehorn Part II: On the NFC East, the NFL Judicial System and More

Yesterday, Jason Sehorn was vocal about the systematic and seemingly unsolvable problem of agents with their claws in potential NFL first and second rounders on college campuses.

Today, Sehorn pulls no punches as he talks about the hypocrisy of the NFL's justice system with Goodell's office being judge jury and executioner, the softening of the game that was brought about by the crackdown on big hits, the potential of Jerry Jones to morph into Al Davis and the overall absurdity of the Washington Redskins.

"The best thing going for the Giants and the Eagles right now is Jerry Jones and Daniel Snyder."

On Mike Shanahan's handling of Donovan McNabb:

"Disastrous. In my 10 years in the NFL, I never once played in a game where the starting quarterback was removed in the 2 minute offense when you could still win the football game...

Leave Albert Haynesworth in the picture and you see a philosophy here of 'if you're not my guy, this is how I'm gonna treat you.'

...And what they've done to Donovan McNabb, he's clearly not Mike's guy...he's not gonna be there after this year."

On crack down on hard hits: "Ridiculous. You can't arbitrarily decide after week four and 3 big hits that you're going to change the way we analyze this...When you appeal these fines do you know who you appeal them to? Right back to the league office. The people who fined you."

On TOcho: "I don't get it. At what point do you become a personality and not a football player any more? To each his own."




This week, Sehorn joined Keyshawn Johnson is in NYC promoting Captain Morgan's 1 Million Poses. For more information visit Facebook.com/CaptainMorganUSA.

NY Giant to for Philadelphia Eagle? What is This World Coming to?

Image: philadelphiaeagles.com

As an Eagles fan, it always seemed to me that the epic NFC East battles in the trenches between Jon Runyan and Michael Strahan always seemed to tip in favor of the gapped-toothed sack monster.

Now, according to a South Jersey political leader (and the Philadelphia Daily News), Strahan is making up for all those sacks against Runyan by helping raise money for the O Lineman's Congressional race.

When you think of probable NFL supporters of Jon Runyan you might logically conclude a quarterback or two he protected, or a couple of running backs he cleared a path for. However, an early NFL supporter of Jon Runyan is none other than New York Football Giant Michael Strahan.

The Eagles and Giants have a long-standing and fierce rivalry. The two directly competed against each other on the field. When you think of the competition between the two it is hard not visualize numerous high-speed impacts. During game time neither had any love for the other. Now both are retired from the game and are working together.

According to Dan Gross at the Philadelphia Daily News, Strahan will help Runyan raise money to take on John Adler in New Jersey’s third congressional district race.

A Giant Investment: The Complete Illustrated History of the New York Giants

I don't know this man but he is wearing my father's sweater.

This is all I remember about the Super Bowl victories of the New York Giants; two years ago the Pats were undefeated, Tom Petty played halftime, the Tyree catch and the Burress touchdown. Also, brother-in-law made this outstanding taco dip that I can still taste today but only because I haven't brushed my teeth since January 2008. In 1991 Whitney Houston sang something, there was a war going on, Norwood missed wide right and my father and I ran around the house screaming and crying. The Super Bowl in 1987 is really hazy but I was nine-years-old. Umm...Jim Burt. Elway. Gatorade. My new Giants jacket. Ran around screaming and crying for a different reason. Storm Shadow from G.I. Joe got stepped on in the celebration.

I've got a horrific sports memory. Games, plays, and players stay in my head for about two year and leak out of my skull to make room for useless information about horrendous movies and the door code to my office building. Ironically both are 1408. My father calls me up twenty times every Sunday with sports questions like "who was that guy that played for the Giants that ran really fast?" He thinks I'm some type of idiot savant with sports knowledge and the less information I have to work with the better.

It's for people like my father and me that books like New York Giants: The Complete Illustrated History are created. Also, for the true hardcore fan but I don't care about you people at this moment. Selfish.

A thorough and entertaining book, it covers the history Giants from its origins in 1925 (Purchased in 1925 for $500) through the 2008 season. It's broken down by decade, highlighting the three memorable Super Bowl seasons and even covered the cringe-worthy moments in the team's history like the near death of Frank Gifford after the Chuck Bednarick hit, the Miracle in the Meadowlands, the booing of Phil Simms on draft day and the time they stopped serving my friend beer because he lost his pants. My favorite part is the foreword by Pat Summerall because I like when I can hear a writer's voice in my head. Summerall also sometimes narrates my sex dreams.

I was sent a copy to review for this website and I can't recommend it enough to Giants fans. There are editions available for other franchises like the Steelers, Bears and Packers. I recommend it for hardcore and casual fans. The book is worth it for the pictures alone.

So who was the "really fast" Giants player my dad was thinking of? Joe Morrison. I gave my father the copy of the book. He hasn't called in weeks. Now to find a book to keep my mom from calling.

Chris Illuminati is Giants fan and an asshole. Funny how that works. He is the author of Assholeology: The Science Behind Getting Your Way - and Getting Away with it

Tiki Barber Still Doesn't Know When to Shut Up

Exact quote from Tiki Barber, doing a postgame interview with Eli Manning:

"You've stepped up as a leader and taken on a role that you probably haven't had to play in the past because of your run game. How do you feel that your confidence has grown just in the last year and a half or so?"

HHR Cynic's translation: "How in the world have you been able to win a damn game since I bailed on the Giants and I'm not around to carry your redneck ass anymore?"

Jersey Pride: At Least We Still Have the Devils

After the Nets dropped the "New Jersey" from their away unis, prompting a NJ State Senator to propose legislation withholding funding to in-state teams who refuse to recognize the Garden State in their respective names (and threatening an "attitude readjustment), lawmakers "praised the New Jersey Devils for their state pride."

Said State Senator Joseph Vitale, "The New Jersey Devils are a class organization who have made our great state their home. And we share in the pride that the words ‘New Jersey' represents in their name."

Assembly Majority Conference Leader Joan Quigley, "I've got to hand it to the Devils for not only making New Jersey home, but doing it with pride as other teams have kicked New Jersey around, even as they benefited from support from New Jersey fans and taxpayers."

Vitale is also vocal about the large "NY" the New York Giants display on the side of their office building at New Jersey's Meadowlands, "It is my hope that the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority will feel that same level of pride and recognition that we all do by removing the ‘NY' logo from a building that real New Jerseyans have mostly paid for."

Meanwhile, Governor Jon Corzine Assemblyman Michael Doherty could evidently care less about regulating such nonsense.

Corzine: "It would be an overreaction for us to demand that they put the logos on their jerseys. Would there be an advertising value for us if they put 'New Jersey' on their jerseys? Yes."

Said Doherty, "I hope the Nets stay in New Jersey and we should not use any tax dollars to support professional sports teams regardless of whether they use New Jersey of their logo or not."

NJ State Senator Threatens to Give Nets, Giants & Jets "Attitude Readjustment[s]"

Late last month a Star Ledger commentary by Steve Politi pointed out the shortcomings of the New Jersey Nets franchise, which can't get out of the Garden State and into Brooklyn quick enough:

The star-free roster. The bottom-barrel payroll passed off as cap space when it is really just the remains of a fire sale. The team is even removing the "New Jersey" from the road uniforms, as if it could possibly insult fans more.

According to PolitickerNJ.com, the New Jersey Office of Legislative Services "is drafting a bill that would prohibit the use of tax dollars to help teams that don't carry the New Jersey name."

Senate Miniority Whip Kevin O'Toole is leading the charge (which isn't limited to the lowly Nets):

"New Jersey's professional sports teams, the Nets, Jets and Giants, have no problem feeding at the taxpayer funded trough, yet seem to forget who their benefactors are when they order the teams' uniforms. The taxpayers of this state have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into infrastructure upgrades in the Meadowlands where all the teams play their home games. Is it too much to ask that professional sports teams that benefit from the support of the New Jersey taxpayer recognize the state on their uniforms?

"These teams make hundreds of millions of dollars a year. They should not receive a single concession from the state until they get an attitude readjustment."

"$97M?!?!? What's that, about $8M per spiral?"

I'll admit. I thought I'd see much more negativity from Giants' fans regarding Eli Manning's contract extension. For the most part, however, G-Man Nation has been overly supportive of their admittedly average quarterback's admittedly above-average deal.

That said, there's plenty of discontent out there to enjoy, courtesy of NJ.com. Here's some of our favorites.


Posted by borotaxpayer on 08/05/09 at 7:43AM

Hope it includes a tutor to teach him how to pass.

Posted by AdamC6 on 08/05/09 at 8:22AM

I really like Eli, but "highest paid player in the league?" This doesn't make sense. Sure, give him a lucrative new deal, but why so high?

MG: Is the Manning family so cutthroat that the Giants think he'd bolt if they didn't offer him the moon?

Who in the Giants camp is driving this deal? Ownership?

Just seems a bit extreme. Hopefully we'll see the wisdom in it in both performance and value down the road.

Posted by hrpufnstuff on 08/05/09 at 8:39AM

How will the speed at WR help Eli? He will continue to underthrow them. He needs tall receivers who can adjust to his wounded ducks the way Burress could. A middle of the pack quarterback making $16M a year. Jesus. Now we know how our PSL money is being spent (wasted).

Posted by beerguy2 on 08/05/09 at 8:51AM

Highest paid player in the NFL what a joke. I hope the wind dies down this year during the playoffs.

Posted by mug12 on 08/05/09 at 10:04AM

this will pan out to be one of the worst contracts in the history of sports

Posted by Carbo on 08/05/09 at 10:21AM

$97M for a QB who can't run, can't pass with any accuracy, has a weak arm, and shows no leadership?
Good God, the idiots running this organization have just set it back ten years!
$97M?!?!? What's that, about $8M per spiral?
They should have traded Manning for a bucket of draft picks. They could have built this team into a dynasty for years to come. A sad day in Giants history, along the lines of The Fumble.

Posted by neerg12 on 08/05/09 at 11:10AM

The translation for "Eli" which derives originally from the Southern Redneck Language actually means - average QB with tendencies to pout.

Posted by mug12 on 08/05/09 at 11:10AM

Now we see why he didn't want to play for the Chargers, his daddy wanted more money for the family

Posted by dgoman on 08/05/09 at 11:30AM

Agree with everyone who says this is too much.

I still think David Carr, given the same oppty to play with a quality offensive line and running game would easily surpass Eli, who i still consider average at best.

Interview with Author of "Passing Game," Murray Greenberg

Earlier this month, I wrote about NFL Hall of Famer and former Michigan Wolverine captain Benny Friedman and his struggle for recognition as one of football's early pioneers and as the game's first true innovator of the forward pass.

Passed Over: The Lost Legacy of Benny Friedman

I mentioned that in December, "Public Affairs Books released Passing Game: Benny Friedman and the Transformation of Football by Murray Greenberg. Still, questions about the reason for Friedman's historical obscurity remain unanswered."

I was fortunate to be able to catch up with Greenberg to help elaborate on some of these unanswered questions.


HuggingHaroldReynolds: You cite the 1998 Brandeis tribute to Benny Friedman as sparking your interest in writing this book. Prior to that, how familiar with the quarterback were you? Was it as a football/sports fan that you felt it was time this story was told or did you feel that culturally it was long-overdue?

Murray Greenberg: As an intercollegiate athlete at Brandeis years after Friedman had left there, I had heard of him, but really knew no details of his life and career until that 1998 tribute. Friedman was a genuine American innovator and American Jewish hero, a major celebrity who had fallen through the cracks over time, so his story was long overdue on several levels.

HHR: The book makes a very strong case regarding Benny's role in pioneering the modern game - not just his influence in establishing the pass as a common element of the offense, but to the point where defenses were forced to account for it and as a result new defensive formations were created, namely the advent of the modern linebacker position.

MG: When the great Sammy Baugh passed away last month, many in the media widely hailed him as the man who transformed football as the game's first great passer. With all due respect to the immortal Baugh, the man who transformed football as the game's first great passer was Benny Friedman. In 1929 Friedman, playing for the New York Giants and throwing the roundish "melon" ball then in use, passed for an unheard-of 20 touchdowns (breaking his own record). Hall of Famer Ernie Nevers was second that year with six TD passes. Friedman's record lasted thirteen years, finally falling to Cecil Isbell in 1942. Benny's pioneering passing inspired the league to slim down the ball and eliminate rules that discouraged passing, paving the way for such passers as Isbell, Arnie Herber, Sid Luckman, and Baugh (who still didn't pass for as many as 20 touchdowns in a season until his seventh year in the league)."Friedman revolutionized football," George Halas said. And yet he is overlooked, as illustrated in the wake of Baugh's death.

There may not be any one reason for this. Though I did not encounter hard evidence that would establish anti-Semitism as an explanation for Friedman having been overlooked, anti-Semitism can be subtle. Given that, and given Friedman's extraordinary accomplishments in and singular contributions to the game of football, it is not unreasonable to consider anti-Semitism as a possible factor. His perceived cockiness when it came to his football skills, his lobbying for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, his bitterness at the Players Union for denying pension benefits to pre-1958 players, and the mere passage of time since his playing days are also possible factors. And sometimes, for no apparent reason, people who have made significant contributions in their field, even those who attain celebrity at some point, become lost over time.

HHR: Benny can be in many ways pointed at as the first Jewish sports hero. Yet, his popularity transcended just the Jewish community. His religion is an underlying theme throughout the book, especially given the rise in anti-Semitic attitudes during his height of popularity. Yet, it was a large part of his marketability, and didn't seem to directly negatively impact him in many ways (though it can be argued there was a good amount of latent bias). How much was being Jewish help Benny compared to hinder him?

MG: Rising anti-Semitism in America in Friedman's time was a factor to be dealt with by every Jewish athlete of the day, and Friedman was the most famous and best Jewish footballer of all. Mistreatment from Friedman's first Michigan coach -- mistreatment that Benny attributed to anti-Semitism -- nearly suffocated Friedman's playing career before it got started. On the other hand, Friedman was a hero to the American Jewish community, a fact that played a part in the two college head coaching jobs Friedman would get -- both at schools with heavy Jewish influence. But Benny's Jewishness was also a fact that may have played a part in the several major college coaching jobs he sought but didn't get.

HHR: Football at the time was rather one dimensional, as were the mindsets of the coaches and players regarding how the game "should be played." How much a factor would you attribute the novelty of the forward pass upon unsuspecting defenses/teams compared with Benny's talent as a reason for his success? Was the style of play as much a "secret weapon" as much as Benny was? Was it the fact that Yost was forward-thinking enough to utilize the athlete's talents?

MG: Before Friedman, defenses generally were not prepared to defend the pass, but that is because no passer as talented as Friedman had ever appeared. As no less an authority than Red Grange said, "Benny Friedman was responsible for changing the entire concept of defense." Yost certainly was aware of the talent his quarterback had and was smart enough not to let football's anti-passing traditions stop him from letting Friedman use that talent. Friedman's unique passing ability may have been a secret at first, but teams quickly realized what they could expect and began drawing up defenses just to stop him -- usually without success.

HHR: How big an influence was the outcome of the Notre Dame/NY Giants game on the perception of pro football?

MG: While the 1920s saw college football experience perhaps its most glorious era, that decade saw the National Football League in a struggle for survival. Professional players were widely viewed as rough, relatively unskilled mercenaries lacking in spirit and discipline. Neither the fans nor the media were willing to divert their passion for the glamorous college game to the hardscrabble pro league. Even the NFL's flagship franchises -- the Packers, the Bears, the Giants -- struggled mightily at the gate. The Notre Dame/Giants game in 1930, which I detail in the book and in which Friedman played a major role, provided a critical boost for the NFL's credibility.

HHR: In many ways, Benny resembles an early Joe Namath. Both were given "astronomical" contracts for the not only their transformational styles of play, but for the fanfare and gate receipts that accompanied it, their self confidence, their similar collegiate paths and leadership reputations while playing for legendary coaches, and, of course, their use of the forward pass and the way they/it ushered in two very transformational eras of the pro game - Benny's to the modernization, Namath's to the AFL-NFL merger/Super Bowl/television era. Is there a better modern player with whom to compare Benny?

MG: As you point out, there are some interesting parallels between Namath and Friedman (though Benny, a big believer that players could play tough while protecting themselves from injury,believed that Namath did not properly protect himself). Peyton Manning and Tom Brady at first blush might not appear too similar to Friedman given the disparity in size between them and Benny, but when it comes to the qualities that make for a great quarterback -- outstanding passing ability, field generalship, leadership, and physical toughness -- there is a good deal of similarity.

HHR: The decision to cut the football program at Brandeis was described as hastened by both a sense of jealousy over Benny's popularity and subsequent fund raising ability, as well as the disdain by academics at the university who sought to disassociate itself with the "brutish" sport with the school's blooming scholastic reputation. That said, what is the current perception at Brandeis of Benny's contributions and reputation as a part of its establishment and success?

MG: I believe there is some awareness and appreciation within the athletic department and within the university administration at Brandeis of Friedman's indispensable contributions to Brandeis athletics and to the university generally. I hope my book will help to broaden and deepen that awareness and appreciation.

HHR: Given his contributions to Michigan in the 1920's, and the fact that college football was drawing tens of thousands of spectators weekly in college stadiums across the country, pro football aside, how hasn't his college success and recognition alone propelled Benny's legacy?

MG: I would reiterate my response to question 2.

HHR: While a handful of early stars are synonymous with the sport - Grange, Nagurski, Rockne, and most recently with his death, Sammy Baugh's multifaceted on-field exploits are remembered again heralded, in general, do you feel the post-1960's modernization and commercialization of pro football has come about at the expense of the history of the sport?

MG: I think there is a tendency for the history of a sport to become somewhat forgotten as time marches on and the sport evolves and takes hold of its current generations. Modern-day sports are an important part of America's social fabric. The way the games are played today and the players of today should be appreciated and celebrated. But it is important also to celebrate and appreciate the pioneers who laid the foundation for the sporting spectacles we now enjoy-- pioneers such as Bobby Orr, whose rink-long rushes popularized hockey's "offensive defensmen"; Babe Ruth, whose astonishing home runs revolutionized baseball; and Benny Friedman, football's first great passer, whose unique ability to pass the football launched the game toward its passing-dominated modern era and its status as an American sporting obsession.
