• Burress and The Giants: Then and Now

  The New York Giants took the lead late in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl 42 with a fade route pass to Plaxico Burress, who after being marked extensively throughout the game, found himself nearly wide open. Burress turned around as he backpedaled towards the back-left corner of the end zone and caught the ball with ease. He kneeled down, presumably said a prayer of thanks, and ran back to his sideline with the Giants up by three points on the New England Patriots. The rest is history. After all...

• Plaxico Burress Possibly a Giant Again?

  This story has more twists than a mountain switchback. According to The New York Times , Jerry Reese has claimed that if Plaxico Burress was able to dodge his legal issues and come out of it without substantial jail time (or any) and be ready to dedicate himself to a professional and honorable lifestyle, the New York Giants might be willing to take him back... "Provided he plays by Giants rules," said Reese. Further, he claimed that the Giants organization would be on board as well. So...

• ESPN: Antonio Pierce to Play Sunday

  According to ESPN ( Sports Center Right Now ), New York Giants MLB, Antonio Pierce , is expected to play this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite the Plaxico Burress situation taking some strange twists and turns, Pierce seems to be cooperating fully with the NYPD and at this point does not appear to be in any danger. Losing Burress, while disappointing in general, has not been identified as a major blow to the team. The Giants have won games in the past without Burress and most believe...

• Giants Win 23-7 -- Sweep Redskins!

  After playing in Week 1, the word from Washington Redskins fans was that the New York Giants got lucky in their timing. The Redskins didn't have their new offense set yet, they weren't used to their new coach yet and they would give the Giants a rough time later in the season. Well, on November 30, 2008, the New York Giants beat the Washington Redskins 23-7, sweeping the NFC East rivals. This game was a joy to watch. The Giants did not seem to be fazed in any way by anything the Redskins...

• A "Giant" Moment in Big Blue's Season

  With the exception of the unfortunate "mishap" against the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football a couple weeks back, the Giants have had a pretty solid start to their 2008 season. This is to be expected. The team went on a wild post-season run on the road in 2007, all the way to Super Bowl 42 where they dressed-down the undefeated New England Patriots. So with a team that has remained primarily the same, starting the next season 5-1 is not unheard of. At this point in time, the Giants...

• The Giants and the NFC (B)East

  What an opening weekend for the National Football League! Unexpected injuries, unexpected scores and unexpected starters as the other 31 football franchises seek to take away the Lombardi Trophy from the reigning Super Bowl champions...the New York Football Giants. As my colleagues, Dave and Hazem, have outlined so well, the Giants came out pretty strong on Thursday night against the Washington Redskins. As per usual, I will avoid including too many stats and give you a more editorialized look at...

• A Giant Changing of the Guard

  The recent retirements of Tiki Barber and Michael Strahan marks a noticeable change in this era of the New York Giants. As many will notice, being a fan is marked by unmistakable periods of time; some good, some bad. These moments that are so readily identifiable, the recollection of some of them carry unique feelings and nostalgia. So where will these changes affect the Jints and what will the alignment look like next season? Sad to say, but the removal of Tiki Barber from this team was a large...

• Are Giants Super Bowl 43 Material?

  We've all enjoyed the ride since the first second ticked off the clock in the first playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2007. With a lot of Giants fans skeptical and holding the breath, wishing Big Blue could pull of just one playoff victory under Head Coach Tom Coughlin, we had the honor of observing the best season in New York Giants history. The plowing over of the Bucs, the "gift that keeps on giving" Cowboys game, the last game of Brett Favre's career and finally...

• Where Does Giants Defense Rank?

  To follow-up and close the circle on my " Where Does Giants Offense Rank " article, it is time to take a closer look and evaluate the New York Giants defense as we start heading into the 2008 season. With the losses of Kawika Mitchell, Reggie Torbor and Gibril Wilson, will the Giants be able to bring the same kind of pressure and attack that they did in 2007? The pieces are in place once again, but in the end it will be up to the team. Defensive Line: Defensive Ends - What better place...

• Giants' Title Defense Officially Begins

  It's official. The 2008 season is underway. The first reports from OTA's are out, and the Giants are beginning to establish their depth charts and packages. Mini camp will be held on 11-13 June, and by all accounts it appears the only no show will be Michael Strahan. The next three weeks will go a long way towards establishing the foundation the Giants hope to build another championship upon. While you cannot take too much away from the OTA reports with regards to overall strategy and philosophy...

• More Thoughts on Giants' Strahan

  There's a lot that comes to mind when you weigh the future of Michael Strahan and the impact his presence, or lack thereof, will have on the team next year. In 2007, Strahan made it abundantly clear that he is most certainly capable of still causing all kinds of trouble in the backfield. The no-questions-asked future Hall-of-Famer now faces the same question he confronted last year around this time: to play, or not to play? At this point I think it is just about impossible to predict. When the...

• Giants' Free Agents Slipping Away?

  At the start of the NY Giants 2007 season, one of (if not the) biggest concern among fans was the defensive secondary. Filled with (overly) seasoned veterans and average players, one of the only shining spots was Gibril Wilson. The Giants hard-hitting and quick Safety had become one of the stronger pieces that held together the backfield when it needed it most. However, the emergence of Aaron Ross as a more than adequate starter and Corey Webster's coming-of-age resulted in what turned out to...

• Giants News & Notes -- 2.12.08

  Things are as slow as they can be given the amount of news coming of East Rutherford. The Giants front office is wasting no time in starting to prepare for next year's run. Not that Giants fans should expect anything less out of Jerry Reese, who has now proven himself to be one of the smartest and long-term planning GM's in the league (honestly, I'll bet Reese is a master chess player). To reaffirm the news from Hazem from earlier today, Jeff Feagles will officially remain a NY Giants...

• A Giants Reality Check

  Ok. Picture yourself after receiving a promotion at work. If you're a student, imagine that you just found out that you aced an exam, easily. In either situation, you're riding on cloud nine. You're loving life and take a moment to step back and embrace the situation. You colleagues commend you, you bask in the glory. Then all of the sudden you realize that you (in the first scenario) have a major presentation due for your boss in four days. In the other (student) situation, you have...
