For a short while there, after prized guard Andrew Norwell spurned the man who raised him from a pup for Tom Coughlin of all people, Giants fans were in a panic wondering whether Dave Gettleman himself might have to become a plug-and-play general manager.
The old-school GM who had vowed to kick ass on the day he was introduced had his ass kicked when the free-agent frenzy began in earnest.
From hog mollies to hog follies.
Until the old-school GM kicked ass on Wednesday.
Bet on this: The days of the New York Football Giants being bullied are over.
