Offensive is spelled with two fs. Norv Turner inherited a team built to go to the Super Bowl, they got off to a slow start and Olivea became his one of his scapegoats. He has never been a winning coach, look it up. He is one of those NFL "good ole boys." Granted they played tough in the AFC championship game, his winning percentage is .442 as a coach. His teams have never won a big game. Olivea was on the NCAA champ Ohio State squad, he will be a fantastic pickup for the Giants. Toad it is ye has yet to kiss the prince of intelligence.

Yep, he lost in the 2007 AFC Championship Game with most of his ofensive weapons broken. You're a genius!! “…Norv Turner has done nothing but lose in the NFL.”

Olivea has been a tremendous player since his championship days with Ohio State, Norv Turner has done nothing but lose in the NFL. Turner had it out for Olivea for whatever reason. Olivea, a Long Island product, will be a great pick up for the Giants and could be an All-Pro someday. He who laughs last, laughs best. It will be Norv Turner wiping the egg off his face once again here. I’m with SnappySammy on this one.

All joking aside, he must have failed/missed drug test. That's my guess. No idea why it would be rescinded though. He obviously must have appealed it. Maybe by suspended, they meant unemployed?

He was hurt, and was using painkillers. Norv Turner, who is a major jerk,found someone who could fill the spot for $300,000, when they were paying Olivea 3 million and they had him under contract for another 10 million... Olivea is a good guy and a good football player.. The Chargewrs suck, they always have... This is a good deal for the Giants and a good deal for Shane,,,,and an evan better deal for Eli...

Let's hope that Olevia pulls a Plaxico and turns his career around, one thing is for sure depth at O-line is always good. Unless your depth is Winston Justice.
