The Giants Go Green...Size Matters
So many actors have gone to hybrids and are spokespeople for conservation and clean efficient living, but us athletes have been slow to get on board. I'm here to inform you that we at the New York Giants are "Going Green", or at least one of us has. Danny Clark is a 10 year veteran and he loves his smart car!!! It looks small (ok it is small), but you have just as much room inside as you would have in any two seat sports car. I commend Danny for getting out of the trap of "Bigger is Better" but it's funny. He is a big guy in a little car! He has rims, custom lights, it's convertible and has a Brabus kit on it ("they 10's, but he keeps 'em clean though"...LOL). All for a recession special... under 20k.
Players tell him they are gonna "pick his car up and put it in the back of their pickup trucks". Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck, and Chris Canty all think they can not only pick up his smart car but if it were a running back coming through the hole they could tackle it. I know it's not possible because it's a car, but there's a small piece of me that feels the same way.

I wanna be cool like Danny. I'm really thinking about getting one of these things.

Aww will he bring it to training camp so I can see it parked next to all the players big cars. Lol. Hey, it might be possible to pick it up and tackle it.

So Danny is just being "smart "like his car,don't hate on the brother.
-
no hate! I just think its funny
-
That is cool - hopefully it isn't for show and he has a Hummer he takes out everywhere else. Small cars are better for the environment, however, where I travel on mostly highways with a ton of big rig traffic and I would be terrified for my family's safety in a tiny car. Thanks for the post and I hope you're fitting in great with your new team.

Good for Danny Clark (and our planet). Living in Cali, I see Smart cars regularly. Besides, you know what they say about guys who drive around big cars...LOL

HaHa, I don't know. Unless the small vehicle is a red sports car in which case it can't be good! lol

the smart car recieved a C rating in front end collisions with bigger vehicles (which is any other car). you couldnt pay me to get in that thing, and especially drive it on the highway. a dude your size couldnt even get out really quickly if something happened. just my 2cents

TFTN: If you put your "two cents" in a conversation but you only get a "penny for your thoughts" what happens to the other penny? - @curiousg87 (thats me)
(Thought For The Night) -
Well, maybe it's the penny earned - a penny saved is a penny earned, LOL
-
