08:01 AM ET 11.18 | Dave Tollefson doesn't like what he's hearing from Justin Tuck, and Tuck doesn't like what he's seeing in the mirror. And so, on Thursday, as the Giants readied for the division rival Eagles' visit, Tuck somberly said, "I [stink]." He said, "I do [stink]." He even, when asked a teasing question about his wife still liking him, said, "Because I [stink]?" "Stop that," Tollefson said. ... "You can't just look at statistics." The statistics, on the surface, aren't particularly pretty: A year ago, Tuck had 11.5 sacks. This year, he has two. Last year, he had 76 tackles. This year, he has 10, counting the zero he logged in this last game at San Francisco.

Redd Foxx used to say "Clean your ass!!!"

You might give that a try.

Don't like what he's seeing in the mirror, huh? Buy a new mirror.

That's what Sandusky said he heard.

No, Tuck doesn't stink, but the LBs are about to. Without Boley, Gof and Sintim gone for the year ( the two projected starters besides Kiwanuka ) that leaves Jones and Paysinger. Not good and it showed against SF.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who's the fairest one of all?

Well, it's not you, young master Tuck,
Why, there are those who say you suck,
It's out to Denver you must go,
To find the fairest, Tim Tebow.

You might wanna pop extra corn for that Miami game. That might turn out to be a hell of a contest. I wouldn't be surprise to see Miami win that one.

Sadly, this is true. The Cowboys often play to the level of their competition. The team rarely displays any heart. They have talented players but are a so-so team and even more sad is that I am a Cowboy fan. I hold out hope I will see one player upset when they are playing bad but it never happens - no heart.
