• A Giant Sky Is Falling?

  The sky is falling and the Giants are doomed!! They do not stand a chance!! That's the sentiment circling around the New York Giants upcoming game playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles. "Experts" and fans have labeled the Eagles the "Giants of 2007," while others simply will not stop praising the Giants bi-annual rival for being the "hottest team in the NFL." So how will the Giants possibly stand a chance against this juggernaut Eagles team? The way the Eagles...

• To Rest or Not to Rest? Giants Again Face End-of-Season Decisions

  What a luxury it is to face these decisions. After several seasons of mediocre play and futility, the New York Giants have played themselves into a spot in which we can write some of our own story. First, since this is my first thread since our thrilling victory on Sunday night, I want to say what a pleasure this season has been. To continue to build on last year’s improbable run despite all of the injuries, adversity, and uncertainty is amazing. We are putting together one of the best years in Giants...

• Giants Best Carolina, Clinch NFC's #1 Seed

  Well fellow Giants fans...our beloved Big Blue have once more given us reason to put up with the heart attacks, ulcers and gray hairs. After two games (Eagles and Cowboys) of looking only nominally superior to the Lions, the New York Football Giants returned to their true form, emerging victorious against their chief rival in the NFC, the Carolina Panthers. In an epic, 34-28 Overtime win, the New York Giants clinched the #1 seed in the NFC, securing a first-round BYE and homefield advantage throughout...

• Plaxico Burress Out for 2008 Season

  In case you all have not heard yet, the New York Giants organization suspended Plaxico Burress for four games for conduct detrimental to the team and placed on the non-football injury list. Burress' ordeal truly hit the mainstream media yesterday and today as news of his official arrest and intent to plead Not Guilty was made public. This comes days after Burress was in a Manhattan night club on Friday night where he brought with him a loaded .40 Glock handgun for which he did not have a permit...

• Giants News & Notes -- Pre-Thanksgiving Day!

  Everyone is getting those turkeys ready, bracing for a Cowboys loss to the Seahawks and preparing for a wonderful day of gorging, napping and family. Well, while you're preparing for one of the best days of the entire year, here are a few Giants news tidbits and updates that you can munch on in the meantime. INJURY UPDATE: Plaxico Burress is still not practicing and Tom Coughlin, while hopeful, is indicating that he is skeptical Burress will heal in time for Sunday (skepticism is based on an...

• Front Five Making Life Easy For Jints

  " Remember when you point a finger three are pointing back at you " – Mark Schlereth Undervalued, underrated, underestimated are all ways to describe how real football fans feel about the guys with their knuckles in the grass. If you know football, you know that an offense is only as good as the line it sends out there. With an anemic, porous line, your ball carriers get gobbled up on the run, and the quarterback is overwhelmed on the pass. As long as you have an explosive offense, it is...

• Kevin Boss Becoming New Shock Factor in NY

  While this past offseason was filled with joy, triumph, and accomplishment this was also an offseason full of conjecture and controversy. Giant fans across the world wondered what was going to happen with the polarizing Jeremy Shockey. With reports surfacing of Shockey feeling shunned and jaded, mixed with a front-office blowout with the venerable Jerry Reese, an unceremonious exit seemed forthcoming. I was one of the many that felt the unhealthy situation would be resolved without much incident...

• Giants vs. Eagles -- Early Recap

  This space is typically reserved for Hazem's statistical and analytical breakdown of the game, but since he is one of many who are completely exhausted from the game, not to mention feverishly crunching numbers and reviewing film (heheh), I thought I would step in and put a quick conclusion on the day. First off, WHAT A GAME!!!! The New York Giants are now 8-1 and have beat each of their division rivals once. This team continues to show its resiliency and win each game as if it were the Super...

• 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...

• 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...

• Giants Disregard Browns Trash Talk

  The Giants have been known, at times, to deliver bulletin board material to opposing teams. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it does not. However, this time around, it's the Giants' Monday Night Football opponent who is providing the trash talk. According to Jenny Vrentas of the Star Ledger, the Cleveland Brown player and idiot Defensive Tackle, shared the following thoughts earlier this week: "It's a zone-blocking scheme that lets him run and pick a hole...There ain't nothing...

• Biggest Game of the Season - Giants vs Seahawks?

  If you asked anyone a couple weeks ago what they thought about the importance of the upcoming Giants, Seahawks game set for this Sunday, most people who have a clue about the NFL would have said it is simply not a big deal. Beyond the basics of an NFC matchup, the severity of this game was minimal. However, this match-up has turned into one of the most hyped games the Giants have played since the 2007 post-season. I will admit that the Seahawks have had the Giants number for a few years now. There...

• Writer's Roundtable Answers -- 9.12.08

  Thanks for everyone's participation in this round of the Giants 101 Writer's Roundtable. We had more questions than ever before and we couldn't be more pleased with that. So without further ado...the answers: HAZEM KISWANI - Wanksta: Q: What's the kicking situation given how well Carney looked? Will Brandon Jacobs retire a Giant? A: The kicking situation actually hasn't changed much at all, although many fans have been intrigued by the 3-3 night Carney had against the Redskins...

• 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...

• Good Morning from Training Camp - 1 Aug AM Report

  The team practiced on the lower field this morning, which is the worst field for spectator view. Soon, the Giants are going to have to contract with a local bike shop to order more stationaries as the list of players not practicing has grown quite long: Burress, Toomer, Manninghan, Tyree, Wilkinson, Tuck. Umenyora, Phillips, Madison, DeOssie, and Dahl were all held out of practice, no reasons are known right now. Some highlights: - The very first play of 11 on 11's, Hixon badly beat Webster for...
