Watch Tom Coughlin Yell At Greg Schiano During The Postgame Handshake (Video)

This is odious writing. Maybe very odious. If 25 fourth quarter points were 25 first quarter points and the Giants hung on to win, then it might be said the Giants, EEK!, really did eke out a victory. In reality, they did not eek (sic) out a NY thing.

That’s almost the worst of it. “But something that’ll be sure” is odious writing, too. If you have to be told how so, you’re reading the Bleacher Report pages and nothing else.

The use of “over” is grammar flab. Watch for something over your reading this DURING “the next few days”. Whew. It’s over.

A handshake cannot be “contentious”. I believe that Coach Coughlin is not a contentious person. The last play of the game was so contentious that the traditional verbal greeting card that coaches give each other in conclusion was barbed with something like contention. However, it does appear that getting OVER his college days was uneasy for Greg Schiano.

There’s two more things to mention, besides the unflagging persistence of odious writing, as if it were meant for substitute readers.

“Coughlin’s beef seems to stem” is odious with intent. It’s half the distance to the goal — the writer’s goal, not the reader’s. So if the writer started at his own twenty, he’s somewhere a bit closer to a safety now. Little bit.

This is why. Using the word “seems” is an odious attempt of providing cause for doubt. Why? When things are obvious, e.g., apparently true in all appearance, the purpose of “seems” is known only to the writer. He did not explain what he seems to be writing.

Lastly, “Schiano obviously had no (direct) influence on his defense” is something like the writer’s application of his patent for a skewed perspective. After all Shiano is only the coach. The writer recommends that the reader disregard the tales his players tell of the incident. “Obviously”.

Nothing seemingly done here. Yet never so good, as well.
