Since Ernie is on vacation and a little, tiny piece of news broke, I thought I’d just pop this up on the blog. Former Giants receiver Plaxico Burress pleaded guilty today to weapons charges and...

My guy Ralph V. is reporting from Albany that Super Bowl hero David Tyree, trying to come back from knee reconstruction, is having a rough time of it. He dropped three passes this morning, and showed...
Guess Eli Manning will be picking up the check a lot from now on, given that he’s agreed to terms on a six-year extension worth approximately $97 million. That makes him the richest player in t...
My guys at camp spoke to Antonio Pierce a few minutes ago. The middle linebacker said he wasn’t sorry about his actions that led to a probe into possible criminal charges against him the night ...
Sounds like Tom Coughlin is getting a little impatient with an offense that has had several big drops and interceptions over the first three practices. WR Steve Smith, the real go-to guy in this youn...
Thought you might be interested in the official release the Manhattan DA sent out. DISTRICT ATTORNEY – NEW YORK COUNTY Manhattan District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau announced today the indic...

Some encouraging news came out of practice this morning, relayed by my eyes and ears up there, regarding the wide receiver and safety situation. As we all know, Sinorice Moss is in a make-or-break se...
