Giants fans everywhere—full disclosure: I'm one and…*stares at computer screen through cold, salty tears and tries to push on*—are still trying to come to terms with their team's catastrophic loss to the Cowboys last night. They're having a hard time doing it, too, because every time they turn around, ESPN is re-running the Giants' complete mismanagement of the clock at the end of the game and…OMG, WHY DIDN'T ELI MANNING JUST TAKE THE $&%^*@! SACK?!?

Sorry.

But believe it or not, things just got even worse for the team's fans, thanks to running back Rashad Jennings. Jennings, who had two chances to score from inside the five-yard line at the end of the game last night, just revealed that he was told not to score by…someone. Maybe Eli, maybe Tom Coughlin. But whoever it was is a complete idiot made the wrong decision.

"As a running back, it's always hard when they tell you not to score," Jennings said today.

"Tell you not to score"? Sigh. Time to go read this to cheer myself up. Week 2 can't get here soon enough.
