http://www.yardbarker.com/content/player/3105 Recent articles about Antonio Pierce en-us New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan loves talking with the media, and at the same time loves playing games with it. Ever since the clock hit 0:00 at the Super Bowl, the question has been, Will Michael Strahan retire? The one man who knows has made his decision people. Michael Strahan knows what he wants, so what's the answer?

Unlike most sports players who are immediately hired following their careers whether they can communicate or not (#22), Pierce started his career yesterday just like I did and others in radio. Pierce was officially an intern on the Howard Stern Show.

It's nowhere near as bad as the Michael Vick, but still horrific. You know the drill...click it Sun, 30 Mar 2008 18:30:07 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/224471 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/224471 When Vick got sentenced and the fire and brimstone rained down on him, I thought we put the animal cruelty puppy to bed - for this year atleast-. Apparently not.

Although I didn't have the score right, I picked the Giants to win 23-20 in possibly the biggest upset in Super Bowl history.

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 00:00:49 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/122868 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/122868 Who ducktaped the mouth of Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce? Or is it just too early for this fuzzberry to start trash talking? Let's rewind: Before the Dallas Cowboys faced the Giants in Week 1, Pierce opened his mouth; stupid things came out. Read them here. After the Cowboys won that game 45-35, Pierce was pretty quiet. Then, the Cowboys played the Giants again. First place in the NFC East was at stake. Dingleberry opened his mouth again, and you can read it here. There's a pattern here, though. Every time he opens his yapper, the Cowboys whoop the living hell out of the Giants. Go figure, right? As we approach this playoff game Sunday, you can hear a pin drop over in New Jersey-New York. The stench of the trash-laden neighborhoods around the ball park hovers in the air. But there's history here: Never before have the Giants and Cowboys met in a playoff. The two most-famed quarterbacks from these two teams, Phil Sims and Troy Aikman, are now announcers. Eli Manning is trying not to set the record of the most sideline crying fits. This is also the third time these two teams meet this year. In the NFL, two teams have played each other three times in one season 53 times. Of those, 27 times has one of the teams held a 2-0 advantage. Teams went 3-0 18 of those 27 games. I like those odds. Thanks to Davidsa14 for researching the numbers. The entire ESPN cast is saying the Cowboys will lose. No one is picking them. A team that went 13-3 is somehow the underdog to everyone but Vegas. How can this happen? Just because of the slow finish and Tony Romo's love life? All of that diminishes the power of this team? Hogwash, folks. It's all hogwash. Despite Wade Phillips shenanigans, Terrell Owens appears to be recovering and practicing. Tony Romo has rested his bad thumb and his head is relaxed. The defense is rested. How could anyone actually pick the Giants to win this game, a Giants team that has lost its star tight end and center? Plaxico Burress has a bad ankle. Redskins fans are foaming at the mouth, ready to attack me here at the hint of a Cowboys loss. The pressure to win this game is immense. But why am I not worried? Why am I not a bit concerned anymore? The answer is simple folks: The Dallas Cowboys are clearly the better team. A sixth Lombardi Trophy is in reach.

Said Barber:" Now that (the Giants) are struggling, first of all he runs away from it early in the week and now he's refusing to answer questions by being completely disrespectful to a group of people who are just trying to do their job," Barber said on his Sirius Radio show, The Barber Shop. "That's the job of media, ask the question. And you don't have to answer it. But don't be rude." Tiki, the more you tal, the more I realize why your teammates seemed to hate you. He could take his own advice and just shut it.

Brian Urlacher 2. Shawne Merriman 3. Ray Lewis 4. DeMarcus Ware 5. Adalius Thomas 6. Takeo Spikes 7. Mike Peterson 8. D.J. Williams 9. DeMeco Ryans 10. Lance Briggs 11. Lofa Tatupu 12. A.J. Hawk 13. Jonathan Vilma 14. Joey Porter 15. Zach Thomas 16. Derrick Brooks 17. Ernie Sims 18. Antonio Pierce 19. Julian Peterson 20. Cato June Honorable Mentions: Jeremiah Trotter, London Fletcher, Ian Gold, Nick Barnett, Keith Brooking, and Gary Brackett Sun, 12 Aug 2007 15:43:47 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/23278 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/23278 Giants coach Tom Coughlin might be more approachable than he used to be, but he can still deliver a straightforward message when he wants to. That's what he did Wednesday when his team gathered for its first day of mini-camp. His message? Quit the whining, quit the finger-pointing, stop feeding the New York City media monster. Shut up, and just play football. The most interesting thing, for me, isn't that Coughlin would address that issue with his team. It's that the key leaders in the locker room support the plea for unity. Thu, 14 Jun 2007 13:39:30 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/16223 http://www.yardbarker.com/author/article/16223 Is the Giant's linebacker Antonio Pierce better than Urlacher and Trotter? Pierce certainly believes he is. His exact quote was, "I don't think you see Urlacher and Trotter cover receivers...You see 'em cover T.O. any time soon? I don't care if I was close or not, I was playing him." So basically what he is saying is the fact that he takes on TO inherently makes him better...interesting.

"The Redskins have traded away 11 draft choices under Gibbs. They have selected 16 players, with nine still on the roster. Of those nine, only three — Sean Taylor, Chris Cooley and Carlos Rogers — are considered full-time starters."
