Giants release Kerry Collins
April 28th, 2004 — New York Giants
…doom themselves to last-place finishes for forseeable future
Not that I’m that big a fan of Kerry Collins, but in my mind, releasing a quarterback with experience in favor of starting an untested rookie in the city of New York is insane. Sure Eli Manning may turn out to be the next John Elway, but as we all know, Elway was terrible his rookie season. Well, what’s done is done, and there’s no looking back. However, I hope against hope that I don’t turn on ESPN tomorrow - or any day for that matter - to discover that the Giants have signed Kurt Warner. I can’t stand that smug SOB.
Arsenal sign Feynoord forward Robin Van Persie to four-year deal
April 28th, 2004 — Arsenal FC
Van Persie will come to the Gunners when the transfer window re-opens on May 17, two days after Arsenal play their last match of the season against Leicester City at Highbury.
My guess is that he’ll be used as the long-term replacement for Dennis Bergkamp, aka, “the non-flying Dutchman,” aka, “the Dutch master.”
Bergkamp is close to signing a one-year extension with Arsenal, and is expected to retire at the end of the 2004-05 season.
