As most of you should know by now, I co-host a 100% commercial-free, absolutely no one makes a dime from it, Sports Talk radio show on Long Island.

Tonight's (9/13) Guest at 10:15PM:
Ralph Vacchiano
Giants Beat Writer for the Daily News and MSG

Please reply to this thread with any questions that you have for him, and we'll surely ask them all.

We're not webcast, so in the past, I've had to painstakingly type out a transcript. But, last month, I discovered a way to upload our interviews here: http://hosted.filefront.com/patchyfogg

So, you'll be able to hear the Vacchiano interview as soon as I upload it after the show--complete with your questions asked and answered.

I know when we had Vinny DiTrani on before the April Draft, the best questions were submitted by BAS'ers. So, please keep that up.

Show Info: Tuesdays & Thursdays from 9PM to 11PM on Long Island's 90.3FM

As always, thanks!

1. I know the assistant coaches aren't allowed to talk once the season starts (Coughlin's bullsh*t), but does he know if Tim Lewis plans on using the 3-4 at some points in games?

2. What's his honest opinion on Eli Manning's flaws. Ask him not to give a vanilla, "Well, he's started just 8 games so you have to expect growing pains," answer. I want to know what he thinks of his inconsistent mechanics and the numerous underthrows. And does he think he'll ever become a superstar.

3. Ask him who he thinks is better, Laveranues Coles or Plaxico Burress.

4. Question for you: Half the posters at giants.com are stupid, aren't they? Is Lockhart the dumbest person you've ever come across?

i like question 3, lol ( i think 2 is much more important actually seeing as hes our future, 3 is kind subjective and there both very good)

I tried regiestering for giants.com but they never sent me a conformation so i just gave up and post here. There are some serious morons on that site, i peek in on what there talking about often

I was curious so I just took a look. Ive lost some brain cells and I want them back.

They want to trade Shockey for a D-Lineman and they say Strahan got "pancaked" on that play where the FB chipped him as he was off balance doing a swim.

There are some great posters there (NYG Money & GiantsGolfer) but that place has the dumbest of the dumb.

Strahan talked about that play on Best Damn last night. He said that he had the tackle in good position and was about to get around him so he had his eyes on Warner and didn't notice the FB so he caught him off guard while he was off-balance. Said the fellas had their fun with it while watching the film.

Listening to it right now, Patchy. Sounds like they're 2 hosts. Which one are you?

Folks, Ralph compared Eli to Kerry Collins. Said he's much closer to Kerry than he is to Dave Brown and the others. Doesn't know if he'll ever be a superstar.

I disagree. Kerry Collins he ain't. He doesn't have Collins' arm or size and he's already much more cerebral. His INTs have been deflections and/or poor throws. For example: the INT against the Cowboys in the finale last year was an inaccurate throw to Tiki on a drag route that deflected off his helmet and to the defender. But he doesn't make many mistakes with reads. Kerry's picks were stupidity. If we could somehow put Eli's brain in Collins' body - we'd have something.

I haven't been on there recently but I've been a member for a couple years. I've got over 1,000 posts there.

There's actually 3 co-hosts, but one of them was getting sick (I kid you not) throughout the interview. (He was the first voice you hear introducing Ralph--no pun intended....)

As a result, I'm the voice that does the bulk of the questions.

You have a sexy voice, buddy.

I'm up to 8 minutes. How many of our questions did you get to ask?
