Oneida Indian Nation, of Upstate NY, Begins Radio Campaign Against "Redskins"

The Washington Redskins have an offensive nickname. It's one of those things we'll look back on 20 years from now and find absurd. For now, however, there is debate, there is publicity, there is a radio ad campaign. The Oneida Indian Nation, which is based in Verona, New York, has bought thousands ... More >>

Shorty's Cheesesteak Delivery Spawns Morbid Curiosity

In this series, Seamless Warrior John Luong reviews meals ordered from the Internet.

Tom Coughlin Boasts of the "Superior Preparation" of His 9-7 Team

Giants Fans: Start Planning That Super Bowl Party Now

You may think that the Giants hit a new low yesterday with a 34-0 thrashing at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons. But not so, I think. I think the Giants are testing a new strategy, one they worked to perfection at the end of last season. You'll recall that at the end of the 2011 regular season Bi ... More >>

Can RG3 Make The Skins Into the Giants of 2012?

The Giants ended last night's game with the Washington Redskins in sole possession of first place in the NFC East but somehow it didn't feel that way. Unless you just want to believe that the Giants are going to pull off another postseason miracle after stumbling through another indifferent regular ... More >>

Giants Problems: Defense First

What's wrong with the Giants? This is only two consecutive losses, which is no reason to panic, but when you consider that the two previous games were won by miracles - Dez Bryant's finger out of the end zone against Dallas and Eli's spectacular TD pass to Cruz late in the Washington game. Either ... More >>

Putting A Finger On the Giants Win Over the Cowboys

There's nothing wrong with the Dallas Cowboys that gutting the entire coaching staff and starting over from scratch with a course in football fundamentals wouldn't cure. The headline for recaps of the Giants' 29-24 victory over Dallas yesterday mostly deal with Eli Manning's 25th come-from-behind 4 ... More >>

G-Men Need To Keep An Eye On RG3

What will the Giants be doing in the locker room before their Sunday revenge match with the Cowboys in Dallas? My guess is their eyes will be glued to the TV watching Robert Griffin III leading the Redskins against the Steelers at Pittsburgh. If the Giants and the Redskins both win Sunday, New York ...

Jets Need Sympathy; Giants Need To Wake Up

Watching the Giants 19-17 loss to the Eagles in Philadelphia last night, two things stood out for me. The first was how extraordinary the Giants have been in two championship postseasons. The second is how utterly ordinary they have been otherwise in the Tom Coughlin era. Late in the 4th quarter, ... More >>

Big Blue's Path To Two-Peat Starts With Dallas

The Giants take the field tonight in the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys as a four-point pick, and the fans and local press seem to pretty much agree that Big Blue has an excellent chance of repeating as Super Bowl champions. Las Vegas doesn't exactly agree, at least on the latter point: ... More >>

Will The Giants Miss Mario Manningham?

By the time you read this, you'll already know that the Giants let free agent Mario Manningham go to the San Francisco 49ers for a still undisclosed sum.  Amazingly, it's the second time in four years the Giants showed the door to a receiver who made an unbelievable catch in a Super Bowl against th ...

Don't Care About Football? Care About New York.

This blogger doesn't like football. If she's going to watch a sport it's going to be baseball and she's going to root for the Yankees. Therefore, this Super Bowl Sunday, this blogger is not going to tell you which players to watch. In fact, the only ones she really feels qualified to even mention ar ... More >>

Giants Beat 49ers in One of Most Improbable Games in Recent History

In addition to being one of the greatest wins in Giants history, last night's 20-17 overtime win over the San Francisco '49ers was also one of the most improbable games in recent memory. Let's look at some stats: -- The Giants had no running game at all and were outrushed by San Francisco 150 to 85 ... More >>

See Alex Run, See Vernon Catch: Giants vs. the '49ers

​Desperate times call for desperate measures. The San Francisco '49ers don't have any flashy wideouts or MVP candidate passers to throw against the New York Giants this Sunday.

Giants-Packers Review: The Most Important Play of the Game

Pick a play -- just one play, that defines the Giants' 37-20 upset of the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. What did you choose? The Hail Mary with six seconds left before halftime, right? I'd call it the most important play of the game for two reasons. First, because it is a perfect illustration of the ... More >>

Memo to Tom Coughlin: Win Sunday or Pack It In

​How important is Sunday's Giants-Cowboys game to New York's immediate future? Let's lead with one truly eye-popping fact: If the Giants lose to Dallas, they'll have lost, in the space of five weeks, to all four NFC division leaders.

Jets Make Easy Work of Redskins?

​"Jets make easy work of Redskins" read the banner on the home page of NFL.com. Were they serious? Did anyone actually watch that game? Once again -- stop me if you've heard this already -- the Jets were trailing an inferior team in the fourth quarter -- in this instance, down 16-13 to Washin ... More >>

Tom Coughlin and the Giants: Doomed to Repeat History?

"It's not going to be the history, believe me. I know that this is something fanatically involved with all of you but each team is a new team and each team is a new year." So Tom Coughlin told meddlesome sportswriters at a press conference yesterday. Coughlin left out one thing: Every year in the la ... More >>

Tom Couglin on the Giants' Loss to the Eagles: "Why?"

According to ESPN last night, Tom Coughlin's first word to his team after the Giants' baffling and humiliating 17-10 loss to the Eagles on Sunday Night Football was, "Why?"

Giants Fans Are Getting That Sinking Feeling

​If you're a Giants fan and all you care about is going to the Super Bowl -- and what else would you care about? -- yesterday began the most important four-week stretch of the year.

Tom Coughlin Will Sort of Remain in Control of the Giants

​With about five minutes to go in the Giants 17-14 victory over the Redskins in Washington yesterday, the bad news was flashed across our TV screens: the Green Bay Packers had defeated the Chicago Bears, shutting the Giants out of the playoffs and ending their season. Immediately, I'm betting, ... More >>

Tom Coughlin Forgot, and Now Giants Fans Never Will

Coughlin: Without his thinking capI've been scrambling — oops, sorry, Giants fans, I'll try to find a word not easily associated with Michael Vick. Let's say I've been searching hard to find an angle on Sunday's debacle that hasn't been written about a dozen times by everyone one else. I don't ... More >>

Baseball Disappointment Tempered by Football Riches: New York's Teams Are the Best
