Kevin Gilbride, the longtime offensive coordinator who won two Super Bowl rings with the Giants, retired Thursday.
Since when were we so dismissive of two Lombardi Trophies? Just 23 months ago we were wondering if Eli had a better career than brother Peyton. We'd already placed the Giants' QB in the Hall of Fame.
The Giants co-owner spoke Monday about the many shortcomings of the team, including the offensive line, but did not point the blame at coach Tom Coughlin or general manager Jerry Reese.
The New York Giants missed the playoffs for the second year in a row, compiling a 7-9 record in 2013. It was only the second losing record under the leadership of Tom Coughlin as Giants head coach, who took command of the team in 2004. As the franchise's leadership met the media after the final game of the season, one question was seemingly answered, while several other questions remained unanswered.
"You want to come back and prove to yourself and your teammates and your organization that you're committed, and that I can play at the high level that I've been playing at in the past," Manning told Joe & Evan.
The New York Giants limped past the lifeless Washington Redskins 20-6 in the rainy Meadowlands. New York lost quarterback Eli Manning to an ankle injury late in the first half, but rode two Jerrel Jernigan touchdowns to the victory. The loss likely ends the Mike Shanahan-era in Washington.
Tom Coughlin refused to discuss his future after Sunday's win over the Redskins, but players said they would be surprised if he did not return.
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning hurt his left ankle late in the first half against the Washington Redskins. He will not return.
Giants head coach Tom Coughlin refused to address questions about his future.
The Giants lost quarterback Eli Manning (ankle), receivers Rueben Randle (knee), Hakeem Nicks (ankle) and offensive tackle Will Beatty (broken leg) in the regular-season finale.
Both have ample hardware. If winning is still the quintessential QB metric, then Ben Roethlisberger is indeed better than Eli Manning, says Jason Keidel.
Tom Coughlin is seemingly on secure footing, unless the 67-year-old decides to call it quits. His 2014 roster could be overhauled.
New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz expects to recover from knee surgery in time to take part in offseason workouts in the spring.
"He's done great things, but he doesn't do it consistently ... What makes someone great in the history, in the annals of an organization or a league? It's consistency."
Here's a rundown of what some of our area sports figures found under the tree this morning; that is, if ole Santa didn't change his mind.
The actor, best known for his roles in The Usual Suspects, A Bronx Tale, Analyze This and Bullets Over Broadway, had just been on Arthur Avenue doing some Christmas shopping when he gave the WFAN host a ring.
Eli Manning and Antrel Rolle won't make excuses for the Giants failing to make the playoffs this season. But they do like the fact that the team is playing hard with nothing to play for.
Coming off an embarrassing home shutout against the Seattle Seahawks last week, no one knew what to expect from the New York Giants this week. But New York hung on through a second-half swoon, and Big Blue defeated the Detroit Lions 23-20 in overtime at Ford Field.
Josh Brown's 45-yard overtime field goal lifted the Giants to a 23-20 win over Detroit. The Lions are now eliminated from postseason contention.
Jim Schwartz started the season on the hot seat and it might be scalding after another collapse. Losing four of five has likely hurt his job security.
The Lions have taken more undisciplined penalties than any other team in football throughout Schwartz's tenure. Whether it's a motion or offside penalty before the snap or an unnecessary roughness or a late hit call after the play, Schwartz's team never seems to learn.
For the third straight week, the Giants are playing an opponent who faces a must-win situation to either remain in playoff contention or while attempting to enhance its postseason seeding.
Local cable providers love to remind us that we have nine -- yes, nine -- professional sports teams, a way of persuading us to click on this package or that so we can view the screen-in-screen horror we call baseball, football and basketball.
Imagine all the happy people from out of town, all flocked together since Thursday for a big Super Bowl weekend being told, "Sorry, game's off. Come back next week."
Cruz injured his left knee and suffered a concussion in Sunday's loss to Seattle. He underwent an arthroscopic debridement of the knee on Thursday afternoon.
