Jeremy Shockey was bounced from the roster of the New Orleans Saints a few weeks so that the team could avoid paying him $4.7 million this year. And apparently, the Carolina Panthers have an affinity for oft-injured tight ends who run their mouth too much, because they signed him to a one-year deal. According to [...]
Writer Rob Trucks interviewed former Chicago Bear and New York Giant Dave Duerson back on November 27th and Duerson’s words from that discussion were published by Deadspin recently. It was an informative interview that included quotes from Duerson about how he didn’t think he’d live past 42. But, there was another quote that we found [...]
Ugh. This sucks. Former Chicago Bears DB Dave Duerson was found dead in his Miami home on Thursday. No cause of death has yet been released. Duerson, a Notre Dame product, won two Super Bowls in his 11-year career. He won one with the ’85 Bears and was also a member of the 1990 Giants [...]
According to Desmond Howard’s Twitter account, CBS analyst and former New York Giants QB Phil Simms wanted to take a swing at him at a recent event. “At NFL Xperience and Phil Simms just threatened 2 hit me b/c I said his son was 1 of the worse QBs in the SEC,” Howard tweeted. “I [...]
Yes, we all remember the Miracle of the Meadowlands III that happened a few weeks ago when the Philadelphia Eagles came back from 21 points down with less than eight minutes to go in the fourth quarter. DeSean Jackson topped off the comeback by running back a punt for a touchdown as time expired. Everyone [...]
The New York Giants can’t be happy campers these days. All season, they were in perfect position to win the NFC East and get into the playoffs. Now? It’s not looking good. Two weeks ago, they blew a 21-point lead on the Philadelphia Eagles with less than eight minutes to go in the game. It [...]
In training camp this season, the New York Giants brought in former punter Jeff Feagles to work with their rookie Matt Dodge. You’d think it was a great idea, having this veteran who has been there done that in terms of being a professional punter. But, his comments back then we thought were pretty irresponsible. [...]
One of the big plays that has been under the microscope following Sunday’s epic meltdown by the New York Giants, is the Philadelphia Eagles’ decision to go for a surprise onside kick after scoring a touchdown that brought them to within 14 points. Tom Coughlin made it clear to everyone that while he didn’t have [...]
The New York Giants started the 2010 extremely deep at wide receiver. They had Hakeem Nicks, Steve Smith, Mario Manningham, Domenik Hixon, Sinorice Moss, and even Victor Cruz. But, one by one, they have dropped off like flies. All but Manningham were out as of last week. But, they did get Nicks and Smith back [...]
I know I just mentioned this a couple hours ago when it first happened, but now I’ve found some video. As we’ve all heard by now, the roof of the Metrodome has collapsed under the weight of 17″ of snow and ice. Of course, this means that the New York Giants won’t be playing the [...]
Wow, this is kind of scary. Multiple media outlets are reporting that the roof of the Metrodome in Minnesota has collapsed due to heavy snowfall. One would have to think that it’s quite a snowstorm, considering it’s Minnesota and the thing was probably built to handle snow. The Giants were scheduled to play at the [...]
Charles Rogers should start working out. Maybe there is a chance for him to get back into the league soon as it seems like the New York Giants are signing former bust WR’s. Yesterday, they added 2004 first-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Michael Clayton. And now, they’ve claimed 2008 second-round pick Devin Thomas [...]
Remember Michael Clayton? No, not the former Miami Dolphins WR. His name was Mark anyway. Michael Clayton was a first-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2004 and was actually really good his rookie year. Since then? Yeah, not so much. But good news for him. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, he’ll be [...]
Things are getting pretty rough for the New York Giants. Their offensive line is all banged up, they’ve lost two in a row to NFC East rivals, and now their once-deep WR core is decimated. As if being without Steve Smith wasn’t bad enough, now they’ll miss Hakeem Nicks for about three weeks. He was [...]
The bad news for the New York Giants just keeps piling up. Their offensive line is a mess right now. The unexpectedly lost Mathias Kiwanuka for a significant period of time a few weeks ago. Steve Smith went down for a few weeks with a bum pectoral muscle. Now, it’s Ramses Barden’s turn. Barden fractured [...]
It’s probably about time former NFL player Dave Meggett goes to jail. After numerous sexual assault cases in Toronto and North Carolina, Meggett was finally sentenced to 30 years behind bars on charges of criminal sexual conduct and burglary, stemming from an encounter with a college student in North Charleston, S. C. in January 2009. [...]
Not too long ago, Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo went down and had to leave the game. He got slammed on left shoulder and injury updates were nowhere to be found. But, ESPN‘s Mike Tirico just explained to us why Jon Kitna has been in the game since. Romo has a fractured left clavicle (collar [...]
The NFC East is routinely referred to as the best division in football. The truth is, it’s not true. The whole division ain’t that great and if the Dallas Cowboys are able to find a win tonight against the New York Giants, things could get messy in coming weeks. I have a feeling the 1-4 [...]
After getting mopped up by the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, the 1-2 New York Giants didn’t need any more bad news. And they got it on Friday. Not previously listed on the injury report, DE Mathias Kiwanuka woke up with stiffness in his neck on Friday. Shouldn’t be a big deal, right? Well, a CAT [...]
My job as an amateur non-journalist is to please NFL fans with bold predictions and game insight. You may call 1-800 numbers for Joey Bambino’s ‘lock of the week,’ but what he tells you isn’t the same thing he tells the next guy. It’s his job to get 50% of the money on one side [...]
You may or may not have remembered the Philadelphia Eagles fans who heckled New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs last year. But, in case you didn’t, the videographer in this clip gladly started this Packers heckling off with a reminder. And it’s the same guys. This is what they do at every Eagles game. How [...]
New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs created quite a stir on Sunday night when he ran like crap on a particular play, came out of the game, and then oh looky here there is a helmet in the stands. He claimed that he tried to slam the helmet into the bench and it slipped out [...]
New York Giants WR Hakeem Nicks got off to a huge start this season. With three TD’s in the opener against the Carolina Panthers, he was the reason many people lost otherwise winnable matchups in Week 1 of fantasy football (he cost us a friggin’ game, that’s for sure). But there is good news for [...]
Despite the fact that New York Giants RB Brandon Jacobs says he’s happy, we tend to believe otherwise. Jacobs has been the starting RB for the Giants for several years, but now Ahmad Bradshaw has passed him on the depth chart. Jacobs can’t be thrilled that the little guy is now the starter. He had [...]
We admit we don’t love the New York Giants RB situation. It was fine when Brandon Jacobs was the starter because you knew that even though he’d come off the field on third downs, he’d still get goal-line carries. Now that Ahmad Bradshaw is the guy, we worry the fantasy points will be divided. Bradshaw [...]
