• Will Eli Manning, Justin Tuck Earn MVP Honors?

  Needless to say, it is a pleasure right now to be a Giants fan. As Giants 101 faithful Nosh recognizes, there isn’t much to complain about these days. In recent years, a pattern of inconsistent play and unassailable frustration have been benchmark traits of being a Giants fan. Whether we were missing the mark by a wide margin or just falling short of expectations, one game did not pass in which an ominous feeling of impending doom was not looming around us while we watched these contests. Usually...

• Plaxico Burress Poised To Keep Inflicting Giant Headache

  Take care of Plax - he deserves it. Get him a new contract - his old has been made obsolete by the new CBA. Plaxico is irreplaceable. All of the preceding are sentiments echoed by Giant's Nation after his remarkable season capped off by a win in Super Bowl XLII. We are talking about a 6'5, 230 pound Godsend wide receiver that creates match up problems all over the field, has a great attitude, and is tough as nails. If you couple that with a franchise quarterback and a dynamic pass rush.....

• Giants Loss to Browns a Blessing?

  Giant Nation was force-fed a huge pile of humble pie on Monday night. Making the taste resonate worse is the unfamiliarity that we have with the dish as of late. The Giants haven’t seen an “L” in the loss column since late December of 2007. The incredible finish to last season, coupled with the sensational start to the 2008 campaign, have left the Giant faithful accustomed to a higher quality of football from that of our last showing. The consecutive win streak, the road-warrior association, the...

• FOX Sports: Strahan Staying Retired

  Unfortunate news, Giants fans. Jay Glazer of FOX Sports is reporting that Michael Strahan is going to stay retired and not join the Giants for the 2008 season. Strahan appears to simply not have it in him. He shared: "This has been one of the toughest nights of my life...But after long deliberation and throwing around a million scenarios in my head for the past day, I think it's just best if I stay retired. I have gone back and forth on this because as a player you'll always want to... Posted Aug 26 2008, 05:54 PM by Scarroll with | with 208 comment(s) Filed under: Michael Strahan, Jerry Reese

• Strahan Update: Giants Optimistic!

  The saga continues with #92, the best DE to ever play for the Giants, and easily one of the top three of all time. The story is known throughout the sports world by now. ESPN is talking about how hard this will hit the G-men this season, other teams' coaches are cautiously benching their star players and the Giants continue to draw up contingency plans. One of those plans involves the luring back of Michael Strahan from retirement. Initially, most believed that this idea would be brushed off...

• Umenyiora's Fall Causes Giant Stand!

  As you've all been following along with us, the Giants are in search of a desperately needed defensive end. The Giants practically shape their defense around the DE position and the loss of Osi Umenyiora was one major step backwards as the G-men look to defend their Super Bowl title. When I learned of Umenyiora's injury, my heart sank. I feared that the Giants defense would find itself in difficulty early on as opposing teams suddenly found themselves in a position where they may have more...

• Giants Filling Umenyiora's Spot

  What a strange turn of events this has yielded. After the news officially broke about Osi Umenyiora's season-ending injury, it seems that the Giants fans were not the only ones frantically running around, trying to determine the best way to resolve the problem. According to Ralph Vacchiano of The Daily News , Giants coach Tom Coughlin has officially announced that former DE turned LB, Mathias Kiwanuka, will be coming back to the D-line full-time. This will allow the Giants to have that rotational...

• Osi Umenyiora Out for Season

  **UPDATE at bottom of post** Well ladies and gentlemen, fans of Big Blue and Super Bowl repeat hopefuls...news broke today that brings a serious blow to the New York Giants. In last night's game against the Jets, Osi Umenyiora went down in the 2nd quarter after his knee "locked up." Initial word was that the damage was not serious and that it did not actually affect his ACL. However, after an MRI today, the New York Giants learned that their Pro-Bowl Defensive End would be sidelined...

• A Giant Year in the NFC East

  News around the NFL seems to be limited to the latest criminal charges and Brett Favre's ongoing back-and-forth saga. As for the Giants, there is not even a scent in the air. The murky swamps surrounding East Rutherford do not hold even a hint of information. Giants camp is officially quiet. But this is no reason to put things on hold. There is one issue that never goes away no matter who is playing for the Giants, no matter what drama is occurring and no matter where things are in the off-season...

• 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...

• Giants News & Notes -- 6.27.08

  Well now...it has been an interesting couple days for Giants news. Nothing really ground-breaking, but still pretty darn intriguing. More drama, more rumors, more news...let the good times roll. Giants Stadium PSLs: The New York Giants organization announced that there will be a PSL (Personal Seat Licenses) charge for season ticket holders once the new stadium opens. What's the damage? The range runs from $1,000 to $20,000 depending on the location of the seat, though the majority will cost the...

• Details on Chris Snee's Extension

  While still not signed, sealed and delivered, reports from anonymous sources are leaking about the Chris Snee extension. As of now, Giants 101 has learned that the Giants Guard will be signed through 2014, making roughly $7 million a year. The source, courtesy of the Star-Ledger , said that this deal will make Snee "one of the five highest paid guards in the league." The six-year deal will help keep one of the strongest facets of this New York Giants Super Bowl team intact, after locking...

• 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...

• Goodbye, Mr. Strahan...

  I know that it's not exactly a manly thing to get all sentimental when it comes to sports. But sometimes, there comes a time when it's okay to admit that, because of your love of a sport or a team or a player, you get a little bummed out. Such is the case today...the day Michael Strahan, perhaps the greatest Defensive End to ever walk the field, announced his retirement. On so many occasions I've written stories about Strahan. Whether it was his hold-out last year, or his single-season... Posted Jun 09 2008, 04:25 PM by Scarroll with | with 71 comment(s) Filed under: Michael Strahan, New York Giants
