Vote now. Poll up at the top left. S Laron Landry. Man, he was awful. Both deep ball TDs were directly his fault, getting faked out on both deep passes on a double take. How bad is that? Problem with Landry is, quite pointedly, he thinks he is better than what he really is. The past [...]
Justin Tuck not a Flozell Adams' fan
I'm just going to go out on a limb and say Flozell Adams will not get a vote from the Giants for the Pro Bowl here in a few weeks.
Our stringer from the New York locker room, Dan Hickling, offers up Tuck's explanation of what went on at the end of the first half:

It would be easy to hate the Oakland Raiders as a monolith to mismanagement, for zillion-dollar contracts given to Tommy Kelly and JaMarcus Russell, and for the general disconnect between their almost irrationally proud fans and the team that would count the current Bruce...

It's become something of a tradition for Brett Favre(notes) to turn into an
interception machine over the last five games of the season. It started four or
five years ago and has persisted since: Favre will be perfectly normal and

borderline miracle yesterday. The...
Today in Philly Sports History: Westbrook Keys Upset Over Giants, 2008
The Eagles were only 6-5-1 (groan) on December 7th of last year when they went to the Meadowlands to pay the Giants a visit. Big Blue, in the meantime, was an NFC-best 11-1, firing on all cylinders on a seven-game winning streak that was making them look like the class of the conference...

Well, that was ugly, on several levels.* The Vikings' secondary without Antoine Winfield (and, arguably, with him) isn't good enough to shut down opposing passing games without a pass rush. Last night, Kurt Warner barely got a finger laid on him and the results were predictable...

The two most important stats of the game: Adrian Peterson toted the rock 13 times for 19 yards, including an 11-yarder, and Jared Allen was blanked entirely from the stat sheet. No solo tackles, no assists, no sacks—no nothin'.
