Sunday was not a very good day for me, for obvious reasons. Looking back on last week, I think I was just preparing myself for the worst and just waiting for it to hit me. And hit me, it sure did. Once the Patriots let Ahmad Bradshaw crouch into the end zone and putting the Giants ahead 21-17, I knew that it was over. Even with Tom Brady at the helm and 56 seconds left in the game to work with, I just knew it was over. During that final drive, I only looked up at the TV once, and that was to see Deion Branch drop a pass with nobody within ten yards of him.
I sat there and couldn't believe that this was happening again. And it was happening in the same exact way! Even though there were a couple friends in the room with me, I couldn't say anything. If I would have said anything, it surely would have been R-rated and in poor taste. To be honest, if the Patriots had to lose that Super Bowl, I would have preferred to watch the Pats lose in any other way on God's gree...

If Bob Griese is in the Hall of Fame, then Eli Manning should be too
No, Eli never made a racist comment on national televsion. However, beyond that the similarities between Bob Griese and Eli Manning are very real and offer a strong argument for why Eli is a Hall of Fame quarterback. Both QBs were extremely high draft picks, Bob was the 4th pick overall, Eli was the 1st. Both QBs have [...]
Kurt Warner Calls Eli Manning 'Extremely Inconsistent,' Says He's Not a Hall of Famer
Former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner put together an illustrious career during his 12 years with the Rams, Cardinals and Giants. In fact, his four Pro Bowls, two MVP awards and 1999 Super Bowl MVP might one day land him in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Apparently, he doesn't feel Giants QB Eli Manning is worthy of that honor -- at least not yet. During an appearance Tuesday on...

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- New York Giants quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan is leaving the Super Bowl champions to become the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Bucs announced Friday night that Sullivan is joining the staff of new coach Greg Schiano.

Eli Manning will probably make the Top 100 players this year
I was asked a few times during Super Bowl week to rank Eli Manning’s place in the current quarterback hierarchy. For 2011 alone, I put him in a tie for fourth with Ben Roethlisberger behind Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, and Drew Brees. Before 2011, Manning would have been closer to No. 10 than No. 5.…

“Patriots Still Blow It” parody song by TBlake
As New York Jets fans, we all know this Super Bowl was about as painful as humanly possible. The Jet’s two biggest rivals, who have mostly dominated us for the better part of forever, matched up in the same game, a lose/lose situation right? While the Jets haven’t won a Super Bowl since Broadway Joe 40+ years ago, the second best thing behind winning is watching Patriot...
Belichick’s Plan Backfired in Super Bowl XLVI
With 3:46 remaining in Super Bowl XLVI, the New York Giants trailed the New England Patriots 17-15 and were starting a drive from their own 12-yard line. Quarterback Eli Manning dropped back and threw a high arching pass down the left sideline. Wide Receiver Mario Manningham brought the ball in from over his right shoulder between two Patriots defenders and pulled down the ball...
The Indianapolis Colts Need to Draft Justin Blackmon if Peyton Manning is Cleared.
Five years ago in the NFL, the draft would be a part of each teams rebuilding process. Teams would draft players that would sit behind veteran players to get them ready to play. They would learn the ins and outs of the game and be mentored by older players. Perfect example is Aaron Rodgers sitting behind Brett Favre in Green Bay. Rodgers got his shot a few seasons back and he ran...
