LATEST STORIES FROM GIANTS JOURNAL
A hell of a ride
Well, I guess you can tell this hasn’t been much of a blog for a while. In a few days or weeks, as is my understanding, it likely will cease to exist all together. The paper is changing its philosophy and, apparently, neither the Giants nor I fit into it.
Today is my last day at [...]

NFL on Plax
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 serve two years in prison. The NFL released an official statement on Burress, and here it is:

Tough for Tyree
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 his frustration by slamming his helmet to the ground and kicking it.

Eli’s extension
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.

Pierce says he’s learned a lesson
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 Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg. But he did express remorse for putting himself in the situation where his [...]

Pierce in clear
Looks like the Giants won’t have to worry about losing their starting middle linebacker for any time at all in relation to the Plaxico Burress shooting.
The grand jury that was considering levying charges against Antonio Pierce for removing Burress’ gun from the Latin Quarter came back with a “no bill.” That means he won’t face [...]

Encouraging Nicks
First-round wide receiver Hakeem Nicks had his first taste of training camp after signing his $12.5 million, five-year deal Saturday. Coach Tom Coughlin said he’ll try to encourage Nicks throughout to be able to step up and contribute big as a rookie. But first, he needs to make sure the kid can absorb the informational [...]
