There are a number of guys that were not able to participate today and I think you know who they are but hopefully we will get some of them tomorrow and then ...
Giants Return To Practice
The Giants returned to practice today, on their quest to win Super Bowl XLVI next Sunday against the New England Patriots. And they started working on a game plan. "Any time you play the Patriots, you always assume they might have something new for you," Eli Manning said. "The last time we played them, they showed a lot of different looks, some different schemes on defense, things that they have not shown before. When we played them in the Super Bowl four years ago, they had some new things for that game." Bob Trainor had reaction from players.

Bronx, NY---In front of the largest crowd ever assembled in the Press Conference Room at Yankee Stadium, Jorge Posada emotionally announced the end of his career as a major league baseball player. After 17 years of wearing the Yankees pinstripes, Posada decided to end his playing days never having worn the uniform of another big league club.

New York Mets
Reyes’ Batting Crown a Bittersweet, Confusing Moment for Met Fans In his native Spanish, the surname of New York Mets’ Dominican star shortstop Jose Reyes translates to “kings.” Somewhat appropriately, Reyes was crowned a hitting king.

Underwhelming Overall, Sanchez Still Lead Jets to Big Win It seems that for quarterback Mark Sanchez and his New York Jets to succeed, they must do things the hard way.
