Giants president and CEO John Mara said Friday that moving the game two days later was the best course of action for the safety of all.
While Hurricane Irene continues its path toward the Tri-State area, Jets coach Rex Ryan is certainly not throwing any water on what he sees as a heated rivalry with the Giants.
Some of the annual preseason fire for Jets-Giants might be lost this year. Why? Because the teams will meet in the regular season on December 24. However, it's still Gang Green against Big Blue, and that makes for an interesting night.
Instead of making the 90-minute trip from their new facility in Florham Park to Hofstra University on Thursday, the team held a closed indoor workout.
Giants president and CEO John Mara said Thursday the game was rescheduled so fans would be able to get home safely after the game.
Plaxico Burress walked into the Giants' training facility a few weeks ago and saw a familiar face -- himself.
As far as the Jets go, they can never return to their former homes like the Polo Grounds, Shea Stadium or Giants Stadium, but they do have the ability to turn back the clock and return to their roots.
As Hurricane Irene bears down on the Eastern seaboard sports officials are scrambling to reschedule events.
Plaxico Burress tweaked his lower back in practice Tuesday, but the New York Jets wide receiver insisted it's no big deal and wouldn't even call it an injury.
Was it a dig at MetLife Stadium or the Jets -- or both? The New Meadowlands Stadium is now officially named after MetLife. But to one Giants star, an old moniker will always ring true.
Rex Ryan called former Jets bust Vernon Gholston a "phony" in his recent book. After Monday night's preseason Giants-Bears game, it was Gholston's turn to bite back.
Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum was sitting at his desk when the team's training facility in Florham Park, N.J., shook for a few seconds. "Usually when the building shakes, Rex is laughing, so that was my first instinct," Tannenbaum joked later.
This is the season the New York Jets will go to the Super Bowl. Rex Ryan guarantees it. Heard it all before? Ryan doesn't care. This is what he believes, and he's not changing his mind.
Jets running back Shonn Greene says his infected right foot is feeling better and he expects to play in the team's next preseason game Saturday against the Giants.
It's official. The home of the Giants and Jets is going to be called MetLife Stadium for the next 25 years.
