If you didn't know the last name, you wouldn't think in a million years that former Giants linebacker Steve DeOssie is the father of Giants rookie linebacker Zak DeOssie.
Steve was - and still is - a roly-poly body with a huge, round head, while Zak is a chiseled 6-4, 249-pound specimen. 
I saw the two together after Saturday night's Giants-Panthers preseason game when they were hanging out in the parking lot. I'd covered Steve during the Giants' 1990 Super Bowl run, and we reminisced about what was one of the best teams either of us had ever been around. "It was a (jerk)-free locker room," DeOssie said. "There were nothing but great guys on that team."
DeOssie was one of them. Great long snapper. And easily one of the funniest dudes in any NFL locker room.
Bill Parcells used to call him "Beach Ball," because of his round, ruddy face and his round body. It's nothing like son Zak.
"I'd have to get a DNA test to make people believe I'm Zak's father," DeOssie cracked between puffs of a cigar.
Glad Beach Ball is gonna be around for a while. Looks like his kid's the real deal.

What do you think of the Bills this year? How much of an impact will the loss of McGahee be?
Darren:
The Bills' biggest problem is the division they play in. No one's getting past the Patriots, and the Jets will probably be strong again, too. That said, I like the direction the Bills are taking. I think Losman is ready to take the next step, and Marshawn Lynch will potentially be better than McGahee, who never wanted to be there in the first place. The Bills are on the right track, but it's gonna take at least another year.
Bob:
I was wondering how you thought Kiwanuka played against Carolina. I didn't think he was especially bad or good, but I also don't think he got enough playing time.
I think Kiwanuka got as much playing time as he needed, given the fact it's only the first preseason game. He was put in a bunch of different situations, which the coaches liked, and he also stayed in longer than the starters. Kiwi played 25 snaps, compared to the 13 played by the starters. Is he a finished product? Of course not. But I like his athleticism, which is why I think the move can work.
