Feds: Philly Man Tried to Extort Giants Coach

The U.S. Attorney's Office announced that a Philadelphia man was charged with "mailing threatening communications" to Giants head coach Tom Coughlin. WNBC reports that apparently Herbert Alex Simpson sent two letters, claiming two women would "expose a fictional sexual encounter with Coughlin" and demanded between $20,000 and $30,000. Simpson allegedly went on to say that if he wasn't paid, he would make Coughlin's life "a living hell by doing something to [his] family.” Neither Coughlin or any of his family members were hurt and Simpson faces two years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
