The New York Giants lost Brandon Jacobs this offseason to the San Francisco 49ers. It’s not a huge deal as he wasn’t cheap and wasn’t very good either. So, one had to figure that the G-Men would add a running back or two in the draft. But, the first round? Yep, they picked up Virginia [...]
The New York Giants wont the Super Bowl last season. They won it for a variety of reasons, but linebacking wasn’t one of them. They’ve been deficient at the position really since Antonio Pierce used to be good. Well, it looks like they are attempting to improve themselves there, as a source tells the Newark [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles took a decent-sized gamble last year when they gave former New York Giants WR Steve Smith several million dollars. He was coming off of a serious knee injury and they didn’t really know what they were getting. What they did get, was a big waste of time. Smith was rarely on the [...]
The Jacksonville Jaguars didn’t have the worst secondary in the world last year. But, it didn’t help when their top three players back there all went down with injuries. I don’t care who you are, that’s going to blow up any unit on an NFL team. No one can deal with that. Luckily, though, the [...]
New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford came into the 2011 season as what can only be described as a journeyman. He’d been with the Saints, Chiefs, Saints again, Jags, Jets and then the Giants. So, for him to come in and punt the way he did was nothing short of spectacular. His 45.7 average through [...]
The New York Giants and Brandon Jacobs had talked about re-structuring his contract. He was due a ridiculous $4.9 million this season and he’s not close to worth it. He’s a big back but tends to run with his pads too high and he’s not the bruiser he should. Apparently, the two sides couldn’t come [...]
Last year at this time, New York Jets WR Plaxico Burress didn’t have the choice of when he was able to eat or go outside. But, since being released from prison, he has choices now. Like, whether or not he wants to play with the New York Jets and Mark Sanchez (not totally his choice, [...]
For San Francisco 49ers fans, last Sunday’s crushing defeat to the New York Giants in the NFC Championship game will be in their minds forever. Chances are, they will also remember Kyle Williams, the backup punt returner who had two costly fumbles while replacing the injured Ted Ginn. Williams was absolutely skewered for his mistakes, [...]
Green Bay Packers fans may or may not have noticed that their team lost this weekend to the New York Giants. Actually, it was more of a stomping, where the Giants overcame two horrific calls to still soundly beat the Pack. You know who definitely noticed? This Packers fan right here in this video. I’m [...]
The New York Giants and the New York Jets are squaring off this weekend in a showdown that’s imperative to both teams’ playoff hopes. They only play once every four years, but because they have to share the New York (and New Jersey. And parts of Connecticut.) spotlight, there is a built-in rivalry there. The [...]
The New York Giants were visibly pissed off when Steve Smith signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. He had a knee problem and wasn’t expected to be able to play until Week 6 or so, even though that turned out to not be the case. The Giants say that Smith’s agent said that the team would [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles tried to fib to the media and fans this week after QB Michael Vick busted two ribs in last Sunday’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Marty Mornhinweg in particular tried to say that he was “optimistic” that Vick would be able to play against the New York Giants. The Eagles even stink [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles just don’t have it this year. After their “Dream Team” nonsense and all the hype that went with it, this has been a relatively poor team. They are 3-6 and not showing any signs of hope. Now, throw in the injuries that come with playing an NFL season. Vince Young is most [...]
Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick busted two ribs in Sunday’s awesome loss to the mighty Arizona Cardinals. Andy Reid says it happened on the second play of the game, but no one is buying that and there is a cloud of mystery around the whole situation. Vick hasn’t been practicing and Vince Young has been [...]
By now we are sure that you’ve heard about Tiki Barber’s attempt to come back to the NFL, despite not having played since 2006. Based on what we’ve seen in the news and the people we’ve spoken to, he needs to come back so he can earn a paycheck. Divorces are a bitch apparently. While [...]
After the Philadelphia Eagles lost to the New York Giants on Sunday, Eagles’ QB Michael Vick had some choice words for the referees and how they don’t protect him. He should have directed his ire towards his offensive line, but no, he went after the refs. “I was trying to protect myself,” Vick said. “Still [...]
After the Philadelphia Eagles ugly loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, the team had more worries than just the division loss and 1-2 record. Specifically, they were dealing with Michael Vick’s broken hand and Jeremy Maclin’s bum hamstring. But, maybe things aren’t so bad after all. Today, the team got great news on [...]
Many criticize the sometimes reckless play of Philadelphia Eagles QB Michael Vick. He likes to break off runs out of the pocket and he admits he doesn’t know how to slide. This leaves many fearful that he’s going to get hurt. Well, he got beat up pretty good in Atlanta Sunday night, but it wasn’t [...]
The Philadelphia Eagles continued their buying bonanza today when they signed former New York Giant WR Steve Smith. It’s a one-year deal as Smith is coming off of microfracture surgery, but it’s clearly an upside move for the Birds. With the signing, however, many have speculated that this is a sign that Jeremy Maclin is [...]
The Washington Redskins right now look like dreck on paper. Their QB will either be John Beck or Rex Grossman. Do I need to continue? I don’t, but I will. While they are fine on defense, this offense is downright deplorable. The running back situation consists of Tim Hightower and Ryan Torain. Awesome. Wide receivers [...]
New York Giants DE Osi Umenyiora isn’t happy. He says that Jerry Reese had previously claimed that he would take care of his contract. And he hasn’t. So, Osi isn’t happy. His agent was recently given a window to pursue a trade, and apparently he reached out to some 21 teams. And one source tells [...]
New York Giants DE Osi Umenyiora is an unhappy camper. He says that the Giants told him that they would redo his contract at some point and give him more money. And they haven’t. So he’s pissed. However, he did show up to camp and is going through the motions. But good news for him, [...]
Osi Umenyiora isn’t happy. He says that the New York Giants said a while back that they’d get him a new contract and they haven’t come through on that. He wants more money and he was willing to go to court over it. So, it’s not terribly shocking that WFAN in New York is reporting [...]
There has been a ton of speculation about ex-New York Giant Plaxico Burress and where he might land now that he’s out of jail and the lockout looks to be coming to an end. Most think either the Eagles or the Jets will be all over him. But will they be bidding against themselves? Matt [...]
Many NFL fans will look at former New York Giants LB Lawrence Taylor as one of the most – if not the most – dominating defenders in the history of the National Football League. Others will just see cocaine problems, tax fraud and now statutory rape. Taylor pled guilty to soliciting an underage prostitute this [...]
