Regarding: Giants to host Skins in NFL opener

I was hoping for a better match-up than the  Redskins. 

So, the Giants won't start out 0 & 2 this new season.In response to:
Giants to host Skins in NFL opener
For their first game as defending Super Bowl champions, the Giants, as expected, will kick off the NFL season in the honorary Thursday night slot. Their opponent next Sept. 4 at Giants Stadium will be the Redskins, with Jim Zorn making his NFL head-coaching debut. That prime-time opener is always slated for 8:30 p.m. but will likely be moved up to 7 p.m. to avoid the telecast running head-on with the concluding night of the Republican National Convention, featuring Sen. John McCain's acceptance speech.

He'll be smiling for the cameras after the game!

Belichick gives Patriots scare
It appears that Bill Belichick came down hard on the players in a morning meeting Tuesday. In the process, he drilled home the point that the Chargers are a dangerous team. "If he was a trial lawyer today, he won by a landslide," fullback Heath Evans said. Evans said players were handed a stat sheet that included all the areas in which the Chargers have been impressive. "If fear is ever good, he put fear in us by what they've accomplished and what they've done consistently for the last two months," Evans said. One statistic that stood to Evans was turnover differential.
