Chris Snee knows Tom Coughlin listens to talk radio
As I mentioned in my Tuesday newspaper column, one of the highlights of ESPN's pre-game show was a segment in which Tom Coughlin answered questions about himself while his daughter, Katie, and son-in-law/guard, Chris Snee, competed to see who knew him better.
Mostly, it was a draw, but Chris out-pointed his wife on the subject of what Coughlin listens to en route to work.
Katie guessed nothing, and surely not talk shows. Chris suspected Coughlin does check what the sports yakkers are saying about him and other subjects.
Sure enough, Coughlin said he usually turns on ESPN Radio in the morning. Hmm. Would ESPN have included the question if he had said he listens to WFAN?
Click below for more random "Monday Night Football" observations that didn't make it into my column.
* Osi Umenyiora, who guested in the studio for ESPN, is going to make a fine TV analyst one day, following in the footsteps of fellow Giants defensive end Michael Strahan. He's already better than Emmitt Smith, who before the game announced, "This is a game that I call a trap game." Wow! Why hasn't anyone else thought of using that term before?
* Darnell Dinkins caught a touchdown pass for the Browns. Darnell Dinkins!? I once did a training camp diary with him when he appeared to be a long shot to make the Giants' roster. Weird. Glad to see you're still around, sir.
* There were a couple of times when Tony Kornheiser tested Ron Jaworski's patience, first by making fun of him for seeming to say the Cowboys would not suffer much in the absence of Tony Romo and later for not criticizing Coughlin more harshly for his clock management. Jaws laughed off the first exchange, but seemed to grow a tad perturbed at Kornheiser after he kept at the latter point.
* For the first time in 20 years, I tried a non-alcoholic beer with dinner, knowing I had to write a live column in the evening. Mrs.WatchDog bought me expensive imported stuff to give the idea as fair an opportunity as possible. Alas, it still is undrinkable. I'll try again in 2028.

You drink IMPORTED non-alcoholic beer? That's classy!
