Victor Cruz had a breakout year posting 1,536 yards, and helping the Giants win the Super Bowl. Cruz caught Eli Manning’s lone touchdown pass of the Super Bowl. What is truly amazing about Cruz is that he wasn’t named the starter until week four.
When the season began Hakeem Nicks and Mario Manningham were the Giants' No. 1 and 2 receivers. Manningham went down with an injury and Cruz filled in during the Giants Eagles game. Cruz was matched up vs. the highly sought after Nnamdi Asomugha. Cruz embarrassed Asomugha, racking up 110 yards and two touchdowns. Cruz was later named the starter over Manningham.
Cruz is set to make fewer than one million dollars for the 2012 season. Cruz has already said he has out-played his contract and I would agree. The Giants need to sign Cruz before the season begins, there is no way we can let him hit free agency after next year.

Eli Manning hosted Saturday Night Live this week.
I did not watch it, but from various Twitter reports I saw it sounds like the consensus is that the first half of the show was great, but that the second half was not so great. This seems to be about par for the course with SNL these days.
The reviews for Eli’s individual performance all seemed to be relatively positive. And as...

I had the pleasure of meeting Stacy Robinson back in the summer of 1987. After that encounter, I can honestly say that I have never met a nicer and more gracious person. Robinson lost his battle with cancer at the young age of 50. He was a member of the 1986 and 1990 Super Bowl Championship squads and played his entire career (six seasons) as a Giant.

Everyone from analysts to former players to current players have weighed in on the matter, with some ripping Warner for dogging the game while others completely agree with him. Amani Toomer was one of the first to rip Warner for his comments...
