UPDATE (3:06 p.m. ET): ESPN’s Adam Schefter offers a different spin to Bradshaw’s injury: Person familar with Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw’s injury texted this: “Not serious injury – should play Sunday. No surgery (needed).” *** That vulnerable Patriots defense can exhale a little bit. The Star-Ledger is reporting that New York Giants running back Ahmad [...]
The season’s about half-way over, and we’ve got a few serious contenders, a few who are losing for Luck, and a good portion still fighting within their division for position. This past week has given us a new AFC leader, confirmed enthusiasm for San Francisco and given us a reason to be bearish about New [...]
Seven weeks into the season, some of the ties are just starting to break up. Others remain, but every division has a definitive leader, if only half a game. Cincinnati has come roaring back, while Detroit is on a losing streak all of a sudden. New Orleans is back on top of the NFC South, [...]
With another week done in the NFL, and teams starting to have byes, many teams are still fighting to take control of their divisions and conferences. The Lions and Packers remain unbeaten, while the Rams, Colts and Dolphins remain winless. At this stage, only San Francisco has a multiple-game lead in their division; three other [...]
We’re already through a quarter of the NFL season, and we’ve already seen a lot of surprises. Some people though Detroit would be good, but I don’t think anyone thought they’d be 4-0 good. Buffalo finally knocked off New England. Philadelphia has been quite lackluster. Tampa’s holding their own in the ultra competitive NFC South. [...]
Despite an early 7-0 lead 20 seconds into the contest, the New England Patriots fell to the New York Giants, 18-17, in the final preseason tune up on Thursday at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. Starters Play Well Head Coach Bill Belichick played the fourth preseason game differently than past years. On Thursday, Patriots fans were [...]
The 2-1 New England Patriots will finish their preseason Thursday night at Gillette against the 2-0 New York Giants. It will be the seventh consecutive Patriots preseason concluded with the Giants. The Giants beat the Patriots 20-17 last season at the New Meadowlands Stadium. It’s been a Jekyll and Hyde preseason for the Patriots. They [...]
Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback (and possibly human being) in the history of our Earth. His worldly passing skills, and pretty boy smile put him in a class of his own. He’s a natural winner who brings home Super Bowl Championships like no one’s business. Oh, but apparently Eli Manning disagrees so of course [...]
It was announced Monday that the Giants have given their two-time Pro Bowl defensive end permission to seek a trade out of New York, according to ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio. Umenyiora has two years remaining on his contract, but is unhappy that the Giants have not extended him to a deal akin to those of the [...]
As many expected, it did not take long for Mark Herzlich to find a home in the NFL once the lockout finally ended. On the first day in which teams could sign undrafted free agents, the BC alumnus agreed to a contract with the New York Giants. Herzlich announced his signing via twitter, saying: “Decision [...]
Even as former New York Giant Michael Strahan and team owner Steve Tisch have publicly supported legalizing gay marriage in New York, another former Giant isn’t climbing on board: wide receiver David Tyree, most famous for his 32-yard helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII that helped the Giants derail the New England Patriots’ perfect season. [...]
Amongst all the talk of a potential lockout and the prospects of new CBA deal, there was some actual football news to announce Tuesday. Tiki Barber — yes, that Tiki Barber — filed paperwork to the NFL to come out of retirement, according to the New York Times. Barber, 36, last played in the NFL in [...]
Just two weeks to go until the playoffs are completely set. And after a concussion, Brett Favre won’t be there to see them. Both the Patriots and the Falcons have a magic number of one to clinch the #1 seeds in their conferences. And at 6-8, one of the Rams or Seahawks have to win [...]
Just three weeks left, and Favre and the Vikings are done. And New England is essentially a lock for #1. The Jets, despite doing so poorly, are also pretty well-ensconced in a Wildcard spot, as are the Ravens. The Colts are on the outside looking in, but they do have a home game against Jacksonville [...]
Just one short month remains in the season, and still, no team has clinched a playoff berth. That’s not a surprise in the NFC West, where it’s still quite possible the division winner will have a losing record. Only in the AFC West does the division leader have a lead more than one game. And [...]
