Man, that's fast!
My story for tomorrow's newspaper is already up today. Imagine if I was covering the Olympics in China, where today really is yesterday and tomorrow is today. I wonder if the Internet knows what I'll be writing for the Friday paper. I think I just crossed the International Date Line of sanity.
Anyway, click below to get a first glimpse:
After tough career, Carr aims to be Giants backup
A few things that got cut from the story for space were quotes from Derrick Ward, who was a teammate of Carr's at Fresno State in 1998. Ward said that Carr, who is listed at 216, played at around 230 in college and that he hardly recognized him when they first saw each other with the Giants.
Ward also defended Carr's career, saying that it was an impossible situation he was put in when drafted by the Texans.
"It wasn’t really fair for everybody to downcast him," Ward said. "Anybody would be in that predicament unless you’re God."
Ward also said there are a lot of guys on the team with questions about Carr and his resume (Carr said he would have questions about someone like himself and he figured there would be a buzz about him). He also said it's no big thing that Carr is basically using the Giants to kick-start his stalled career.
"He's here, he knows his position," Ward said. "Hopefully he can learn from us. We just came off a Super Bowl win and have pretty much the whole offense back. He’ll take a seat and see how it’s done. If he gets his opportunity, I think he’ll do OK."

I bet carr, especially being behind Eli, and having a much better offensive line and receivers and running game, would actually play better if he had an opportunity. I also think Carr is a good third string, maybe he beats out wright by the end of camp?
