The Giants have set a preliminary 12-week timetable for wideout Hakeem Nicks’ return following successful surgery on his right foot. Nicks broke the fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot during drills on the Giants’ second day of mini-camp last week. He is expected to sit out all of training camp and in all likelihood will miss all [...]
1. Colts: Andrew Luck – QB, Stanford Stating the obvious, Luck goes no. 1 where he’ll be expected to fill some H.O.F. size shoes in Indy. 2. Redskins: Robert Griffin III – QB, Baylor Finally, the nation’s capital have themselves a franchise quarterback to build around. 3. Buccaneers*: Trent Richardson – RB, Alabama *(trades up from #5) Tampa Bay seems pretty eager [...]
So it’s all said and done. The 9-7, Eli Manning-led Giants stumbled into the playoffs, picking up full speed just in time to shock the Patriots and Vegas sports books in another magical Super Bowl run. Coach Tom Coughlin has gone from the hot seat to Hall of Fame consideration and New York sports fans [...]
The New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots 21-17 to win Super Bowl XLVI in clutch, come-from-behind fashion, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The thrilling comeback victory was almost identical to the way in which the Giants upset the Patriots just four years ago in Super Bowl XLII. Though there was no [...]
I’m sure people from New York and Boston don’t need to be reminded, but, in one of the greatest Super Bowls ever, the Giants knocked off the Patriots in January of ’08.

In fact, many Giants fans have come to expect Rolle to mouth off either before or after a big game, but when it comes to the biggest game [...]
Tonight’s NFC Championship rekindles the rivalry between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants. The teams will face off in their eighth postseason meeting in the last 35 years, this time with a trip to the Super Bowl in Indianapolis on the line. The 49ers lead the postseason series 4-3, but the Giants [...]
What we learned last weekend: Not all 32 points are created the same. Did anyone else watch the 49ers-Saints game and come away utterly impressed with a defense that just gave up 32 points? I know I did. The Giants are so good, they demolished the Packers despite countless calls going against them. The Patriots [...]
At least one New York team can fulfill guarantees. After last week’s Wild Card victory over the Atlanta Falcons, defensive lineman Jason Pierre-Paul predicted a Giant upset of the defending champion Green Bay Packers. Sunday at Lambeau Field, the G-men came through. They are now one win from a Super Bowl appearance and are firing [...]
It’s on to the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs, with for more games on the slate. As usual, picks below are in bold. New Orleans @ San Francisco I must be crazy, or I must have something against them, but I’m picking the Saints to lose two weeks in a row. I do actually [...]
