Now the NJ State Police scandal involving troopers who escorted caravans of luxury cars at extremely high speeds (100-120 mph) has now claimed its first victims. According to the Star-Ledger, the state police "suspended two troopers without pay and reassigned a station commander as the investigation into an unauthorized, high-speed escort of sports cars to Atlantic City last month kicked into high gear." And one trooper is saying car fiend and former Giants player Brandon Jacobs asked for the escort. more ›

Memo to Gisele Bundchen: Just because you're married to one of the best quarterbacks of all time, it doesn't make you an expert, okay? That's the message from the Giants, who beat the supermodel's husband and his Patriot teammates in a thrilling Super Bowl game—Brandon Jacobs said, "She just needs to continue to be cute and shut up." more ›

Brandon Marhsall of the Dolphins may have guaranteed a Miami win over the Giants, but it will take a lot more than that for Miami to pull off this upset. The fact is, the Dolphins are a pretty bad football team. They have been outscored by the second-highest margin in football and they have only managed to score 90 points in six games. more ›

On the surface, this should be an easy win for the Giants. The Seahawks are 1-3 and have the second-worst point differential in the NFC. But, Seattle has been a victim of bad luck more than bad play. more ›

After an offseason of turmoil, the Giants are probably looking forward to this afternoon's game against Washington. New York was widely criticized for not bringing back two of Eli Manning’s favorite targets, Steve Smith and Kevin Boss. They rebuilt their offensive line, letting Rich Seubert and Shaun O’Hara go while installing Kevin Bass at center and Will Beatty at left guard. And then the injury bug hit. more ›

It was almost a year ago that the Giants were humiliated by Minnesota to close out the 2009 season. It brought an end to one of the worst seasons ever by a Giants’ defense. Tom Coughlin is probably reminding his players of that 44-7 shellacking every chance he gets. more ›

The Giants get their first glimpse of Donovan McNabb in a new uniform when they face Washington today. McNabb has put the Redskins in the top-half of the league in passing yards, but they are only 25th in scoring, averaging 19.5 points per game. That combined with a defense that allows the most yards per game in the league has left Washington with a 5-6 record so far in 2010. more ›

The Giants did what they had to do last Sunday. Now the question is, can they do it again? Last week’s victory over the Cowboys put New York back into the playoff discussion. A win today would setup a whole new calculation. more ›

• Giants 31 Dallas 24: If you looked at the stats alone you would think the Giants lost this game. They had more turnovers, allowed Dallas to pass for almost 400 yards and only held the ball for 21 minutes. But, none of it matters because they won and they have put some life back into their playoff hopes.

The Giants stayed out of the abyss this past Sunday. Losers of four-straight, they blew a 14-point fourth quarter lead, but managed to prevail in overtime to keep their season moving. Now, they have to go on the road in a short week and beat a Denver team that has its own problems. Denver started out 6-0 on the season and has lost four games in a row to date. Things have gotten so bad that they started fighting each other last week. more ›

The Giants have had two weeks to think about the unraveling of their season. A four-game losing streak punctuated by a last-second loss to the Chargers has put the entire season into question after a 5-0 start. But, New York will get a couple of fortunate breaks this Sunday. more ›

The last time the Chargers came to New York the result was the infamous “Snowball Game”. While there is no snow in the forecast, Giants fans are in an ugly mood, thanks to a three-game losing streak. In many ways this team is facing its first real crisis point since Week 15 in 2007 when they had to beat the Bills to make the playoffs. more ›

The Giants are at a big point in their season. After a 5-0 start, built mostly against inferior teams, they have lost two straight to good teams. Now, they have to head down to Philadelphia for a game with the Eagles, the team that knocked them out of the playoffs at home last year. A win would restore confidence that New York is a playoff-caliber team while a loss, and the upcoming schedule, would threaten to send the team into a spiral. So the stakes are high and when you add in the fact that the Philadelphia crowd will be in a New York-hating frenzy, this should be a very good game. more ›

The Giants will face significant challenges in 2009, but they certainly have the talent to return to the Super Bowl. The biggest obstacle to that quest will be at wide receiver. Plaxico is gone and Amani Toomer didn’t make it out of training camp in Kansas City. That leaves Domenik Hixon and Steve Smith as the starting receivers, two players with only 109 catches between them in their careers. If that pair, or someone else like first round pick, Hakeem Nicks, can’t become a dependable number one receiver, the Giants are going to struggle offensively. more ›

Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, who will be a free agent, said he plans on being back with the team next season—and promised big things if Plaxico Burress is re-signed as well. Repeating a refrain he had after the Giants were kicked out out the playoffs, Jacobs said, "If we have Plax on our team, we go 15-1 and we win the Super Bowl. I'm not afraid to say that, and I'll say it to anybody on any team." He's not sore about Burress's off-field actions, either, "You can't judge him for what happened because no one really knows what goes on out in those streets. A lot of people don't know anything about what happens or how targeted we are. The guy's not a criminal. He shot himself, he didn't shoot no one else and I think they should get off of his case and [he should] be able to continue his career." more ›

It’s hard to guess how the Giants will play their game on Sunday against Minnesota, but last year’s season finale offers some clues. In that game the Giants had nothing to play for, having clinched a playoff spot the previous week, yet went toe-to-toe with the undefeated Patriots. Though they lost 38-35, most people see that game as the spark the impetus for their Super Bowl win. more ›

So, the losing streak is done and the Giants will play at home in the NFC playoffs. more ›

The Dallas Cowboys lead the league in distractions. The owner has ripped his star running back for being hurt. Terrell Owens is unhappy with the offense and blames Tony Romo for throwing too often to tight end Jason Witten. Owens even thinks that Romo and Witten meet secretly to create plays. Meanwhile, the defense supports Owens and feels that the coaches are too quick to blame the players. It's the NFL's best soap opera. more ›

Plaxico Burress is one of the biggest reasons the Giants won the Super Bowl and is one of the best receivers in the NFL. But his antics off the field are no longer worth the trouble. After last season’s Super Bowl victory, the Giants rewarded Burress with a 5-year/$35 million deal and since contracts in the NFL are not guaranteed, they can choose to terminate that deal at any time. That time should come now. more ›

The Giants have some major injury concerns heading into Sunday’s game in Washington. Both Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw are listed as questionable, leaving the fate of the running game up in the air. Fred Robbins, a mainstay on the defensive line, has not practiced all week and is also listed as questionable. Plaxico Burress is going to miss the game as well with a hamstring injury and a gunshot wound to the leg. The injuries are a big concern because Washington has a great running attack and their defense is much better against the pass than the run. more ›

The Giants return to the scene of their Super Bowl victory Sunday when they take on the Arizona Cadinals. Arizona, quarterbacked by former Giant Kurt Warner, is miles ahead in the NFC West at 7-3 and boast one of the best offenses in the league. Arizona moves the ball down the field with the prolific passing of Warner and an all-star trio of receivers. more ›

It doesn’t get any easier for the Giants as they face the 6-3 Ravens tomorrow at Giants Stadium. Baltimore has won four-straight games and sports one of the best defenses in the league, allowing only 16.7 points a game. Like the Giants, the Ravens have three running backs and their rookie quarterback, Joe Flacco, has been solid under center. more ›

Browns’ tackle, Corey Williams, has vowed to “try and knock (Brandon Jacobs’) head off”. That may be the only way to stop Jacobs who is on pace for over 1,400 yards and is averaging almost six-yards a carry. But Jacobs is just part of the story as the Giants have three running backs who can carry the load and weapons all over their league-leading offense. They even get one back tonight with Plaxico Burress returning from his suspension. And their defense isn’t too shabby, ranking in the top-5 in almost every statistical category. more ›

• Giants 44 Seattle 6: New York took control of the game with their opening series and never looked back as they destroyed Seattle on Sunday. Starting with the ball on their own nine, it took only four plays for the Giants to lead 7-0 after Eli Manning connected with Domenik Hixon on a 32-yard strike. The Giants scored on their first six drives of the game, not even punting until about 10 minutes remained in the third quarter. more ›

In his first full season of starting for the Cincinnati Bengals, Carson Palmer had a QB rating of 101.1. Over the last two seasons, Palmer threw for over 4,000 yards. Sunday, Palmer will bring his 37.1 rating and the worst passing offense in the league into the Meadowlands to face the Giants. Is this some sort of statistical anomaly? Perhaps, but don’t expect Palmer to return to his old form against the Giants. more ›
