Perennial Disappoints: The Giants Struggles Continue

-

The Giants played the Seahawks last night and I know it's still relatively early in the season, but I don't see things turning around, especially with Daniel Jones at the helm. 

I've been vocal about the fact that I've been wildly unimpressed with Daniel Jones since I first heard his name. People have said to me, "Hey, you should give him a chance. The Giants need a better this...or that...". 

Sure, okay, I'll take a beat and watch it all unfold. 

Fast Forward to now: Here we are all these years later and I'm still not impressed with Daniel Jones and I'll even go so far as to say that I'm shocked the Giants gave him that huge contract extension. 

Right now, the Giants are 1 - 3 and dead last in the NFC East. Through 4 games, the Giants have scored 46 points while allowing 122. Last night against the Seahawks, Jones threw for 203 yards and threw 2 interceptions; one of which was a pick six. 

The Giants offense is stale. Jones is currently ranked 24th, and to put that in perspective, Sam Howell, Tua, and Brock Purdy are playing better, statistically speaking. Without Barkley, the Giants running game basically relies on Daniel Jones and we all know that's not a sustainable model for the NFL which means the Giants have to rely on Jones to put the ball in the air, and so far this season, he's managed to throw 6 interceptions on two touchdowns. 

Look, I know the Giants have a lot of holes on the team that need to be filled, but their biggest issue right now is Daniel Jones. I couldn't tell you if it's because he's not reading the defenses well and making the adjustments at the line, or what, but he simply isn't getting the job done. 

Last night alone, he was sacked about 10 times and while I'm inclined to say the Giants' O-line could be a little better, how much of that was Daniel Jones just not making an adjustment or calling a hot route? I can't rightly say because I don't know what freedoms and liberties Jones can take with the offensive play calling, however, 10 sacks can't just be on the coach and O-line; I've got to put some of that blame on Jones' feet because part of his job is being able to read the defense and make adjustments.

Here's Are Some Thing I've Learned From Growing My Cannabis Plant

-

Growing my plant turned out to be a complete waste of time. The whole appeal of DIY growing was not having to spend money on bud. From what I understand, a plant can yield about a pound of marijuana which would have lasted me at least 6 months, however, my plant turned out to be a male which is basically useless.  I know, I know...what do you mean useless? Well, male plants aren't the ones we smoke; it's the female plants that produce the potent sticky icky bud we all love.  Yes, I'm disappointed that my own grow was a bust, however, I figured I could at least share the things I learned along the way.  Male Plants versus Female Plants If you happen to come across a seed, or two, there's no way to tell whether or not a plant is male or female until it starts to grown, so my first tip is that if you only have the one seed, pray...pray real hard or skip planting all together because if you do end up with a male plant, it's more of a hassle than it's worth.  Serious

I'm tired of people telling me what I need to do, but not willing to help me do it.

I'm tired of people telling me what I need to do, but not willing to help me do it.  I live in, literally, the middle of God's green no where right now and I don't have a car.  Each time I've saved up money to get myself a car something happens.  For instance, I was up about $5k when the pandemic happened and I was just about to pull the trigger on getting a car, but at the time people were getting laid off and business was slowing down.  I figured it would be mighty stupid of me to take on this rather large financial obligation knowing that there's a chance I could be laid off.  Sure as shit, a month later, I was laid off. I wasn't at any great loss for not having a car at the time because I was living in NC and could walk, bike, or Uber/Lyft wherever I needed to go.  It sucked not having a car and having to walk places, but I swallowed my pride and did what I needed to do to make it.  Here, I can't walk anywhere. I can't Uber anywhere, so me getting a

Update for my Loyalists

I feel bad that I didn't do a podcast episode last week and feel bad that I don't feel like doing one this week. To be honest, every time I skip a podcast episode I left myself down more than anyone, but I think right now I'm going to put them on hold until I find another job, or get some money. It's hard to keep motivated when I'm stressing about money and trying to find a job. I wish I had the support and freedom to just focus on making my media company a success, but when you don't have money to eat it takes away from your focus.  I'm not sleeping well at night because my problems keep me up. Sometimes I'll stay up until I literally pass out and I know that's not good. I know that it's a sign that I'm depressed. I try to wake up every day and pretend everything is alright and I'm alright, but I'm not.  Everyday it's a struggle to keep my wits about me. I woke up one morning recently, went out side, found a huge stick, and slamm
