Giants Missed Golden Opportunity Last Week

Dec 21st, 2009 | By Jon Wagner | Category: New York Giants, Top Story

Everything was set up perfectly for the New York Giants.
They moved closer to the first-place Dallas Cowboys by beating them at home last week, and Dallas fell even further to New York by losing again, at home to San Diego, earlier in the day on Sunday.
So, it was there for the taking on Sunday night.

Edwards Deal Could Be A Steal

Oct 9th, 2009 | By Joe Pietaro | Category: Joe Pietaro, New York Jets, Top Story

Team chemistry. Many take this for granted but it does come into play, especially in a football clubhouse. 53 men must gel and act as one so being a fly in the ointment stands out and could throw off all the continuity that a coaching staff has already put in place.
After a 3-1 start and [...]



“Green” Zone Troubles Continue to Haunt Big Blue

Sep 26th, 2009 | By Dr. Bill Chachkes | Category: Dr. Bill Chachkes, New York Giants, Top Story

It’s been an Issue since the last year or two of the Jim Fassel era. Every other team knows about It. The Giants have issues scoring six points from inside the 20-yard line.
Why?
They have so many players that can produce offensively that It’s sickening. They should be averaging over 35 points per game instead of [...]



Lazzari’s Sports Roundup – 9/4/09

Sep 4th, 2009 | By Bob Lazzari | Category: Bob Lazzari, Top Story

How ’bout 13-year-old Luke Ramirez of the Chula Vista, CA baseball team–who slugged two MONSTROUS home runs in the LL World Series last weekend vs. the Kentucky team? Rumor has it that Ramirez met with agent Scott Boras shortly after the game and will soon demand the following from his parents: an extension of his [...]



A New Eli This Year

Aug 11th, 2009 | By Scott Mandel | Category: New York Giants, Top Story

Albany, NY — Despite the fact he is about to affix his signature to a a six-year, $97.5 million extension that includes $35 million guaranteed, a contract that will make him the highest paid player in the history of the sport,  the inherent pressure of being the richest player does not compare to the tension Eli Manning is about to [...]



Is It June or September? The latest on NFL QB’s Merry-Go-Round-Plus Plaxico Burress (again)

Jun 14th, 2009 | By Dr. Bill Chachkes | Category: New York Jets, Top Story

The N.Y. Jets latest wunderkid, QB Mark Sanchez finally got his deal done this week. It’s worth 50 Million over five years, and with incentives could push 60 million. 28 Million of it is guaranteed  money. I guess Woody Johnson will be able to sell off the rest of those PSL’s now. Rex Ryan can [...]



Changes for the Giants in 2009

May 15th, 2009 | By Dr. Bill Chachkes | Category: New York Giants, Top Story

The loss of veteran leadership at the wide receiver spot is an issue that the Giants front office has to be concerned about. They replaced personnel through the NFL Draft by obtaining Hakeem Nicks with the 29 overall selection in the first round, and Ramses Barden with the 85th overall selection in the third round. [...]



NFC Draft Wrap

May 3rd, 2009 | By Dr. Bill Chachkes | Category: Football, Top Story

I will admit you have to give the Giants credit for getting as many needs filled as possible. GM Jerry Reese knew he would need not one, but two receivers in this draft. In Hakeem Nicks(Rd1-29th overall), they get a natural talent at the position who runs pass routes well, has excellent speed, both before [...]



Hot Stove Football: Oh Plaxico, Oh Plaxico

Apr 15th, 2009 | By Dr. Bill Chachkes | Category: New York Giants, Top Story

The Giants are doing their “voluntary” off season workout program, and 59 of the current roster players are in attendance. Osi Umenyiora is confident that his knee is close to 100%. He was also sure that his teammate Plaxico Burress would return to the Giants after getting probation. Guess that one went out the door [...]



A Love/Hate Relationship

Jan 30th, 2009 | By Bob Lazzari | Category: Bob Lazzari, Today's News

Yes, folks, I’ve loved/followed sports for a long time–but certain things drive me NUTS, too; yeah, it’s truly a love/hate thing.  Here are a few reasons why:

* I LOVE when a wide receiver beats the defender, makes a terrific catch, and gives that extra effort to get into the end zone; I HATE when that same guy celebrates wildly, [...]
