As if the Giants didn’t have enough to worry about heading into their Super Bowl matchup with the Patriots, the flu bug is going around the team. (Note: stop eating now) Aaron Ross was so sick yesterday that the Giants’ charter flight was delayed an hour to clean up the mess. The New York training staff has been giving the players every type of preventative medicine they can come up with to ward off the......

Celtics 109, Knicks 93: The last time these two teams met, things were ugly. Really ugly. In that meeting, the Knicks were held to only 59 points, handed their 3rd worst defeat ever and had the 2nd lowest scoring effort since the NBA started using the shot clock. While the end result wasn't any different last night, at least the Knicks weren't blown out of the water. Kevin Garnett helped lead Boston to victory with......

Photo of people shoveling the seats at Lambeau Field on Thursday by AP/Morry Gash There is a lot riding on the NFC Championship Sunday. Yes, a trip to the Super Bowl may be the ultimate prize, but how about a whole lot of food or a place in a wedding party? And, look at the lengths that some “fans’ will go for victory, is it ethical to deprive someone of the ability to watch......

The degree of difficulty is going up this weekend, way up. Dallas finished with the best record in the NFC at 13-3 and dominated the Giants in two games already this season. Only New England had more points than Dallas’ 455 and with Terrell Owens practicing, the Cowboys should be able to score a lot this weekend. And that will be the challenge facing the Giants on Sunday. It sounds like Sam Madison will be......

It was a tale of two halves at the Meadowlands on Sunday. In the first half, the Giants did everything they could to hand a game to the Jets, in the second half, they woke up and took control of the game. Kerry Rhodes returned a Brandon Jacobs fumble for a touchdown to get the scoring started for the Jets and after the teams traded touchdowns, Eli Manning threw an awful interception in the......

John Madden said it best on the air, “Osi Umenyiora made the Pro Bowl in one night tonight”. Umenyiora turned in one of the greatest games by a defensive end ever, sacking Donovan McNabb six times officially and just missing out on a few other opportunities. And it wasn’t just Umenyiora, the defense had a dominating night. recording 12 sacks and holding the Eagles to only three points in the 16-3 win. Aaron Ross......

Hopefully, Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo didn’t buy a house when he moved to New York this off-season. After two games it looks as if Spagnuolo and Tom Coughlin will be looking for new jobs very soon. The numbers are hideous, 80 points allowed in two games, over 800 yard allowed and opponents have completed an astounding 71% of their passes against them, but the visual evidence is even worse. Mathias Kiwanuka looks lost at......

The Jets and the Giants took very different approaches to the draft on Saturday, but when the day was over, both had primarily upgraded their defenses. Five of the six selections made by the locals were defensive players and both teams hope they addressed some key needs. The Jets had a clear idea of what players they wanted and went after them, trading up in both rounds. In the first round, New York traded......

What is going on with the Giants? They cut three starters before free agency began and have so far only replaced one, their idiot coach seems to think it is acceptable to compare himself to Hitler and fans may got stuck with paying for PSL's in the new stadium. Unfortunately, the team doesn’t seem to think the coach needs to be disciplined, but they will get a chance to add some players through the......
