What is the Price of Safety in the NFL? Brandon Meriweather is now the most feared hitter in football. Opposing pass-catchers are terrified to go up for a ball with him lurking in the area. If he sees the ball in the air, instead of trying for an interception, he only has a knockout hit on his mind. Meriweather has paid dearly for his aggressiveness on the field starting in [...]
The Giants Put Their 2013 Season to Rest The Giants fell to the Chicago Bears 27-21 on Thursday night, falling to 0-6 on the season. This loss effectively ended any slim chance they had to make the playoffs this season. Eli Manning has a league-high 15 picks this season, but how many were his fault depends on who you ask. This performance to start the season has proven that elite [...]
Giants-Broncos recap The Giants were trounced in their home-opener against Denver 41-23. The big brother showed the little brother how to carve up a defense, and little brother showed big brother how to be careless with the football.

Today the 113th annual U.S. Open will begin at Merion Golf Course in Pennsylvania. Any golf expert will tell you, that you can’t go wrong in picking one of the big 3 to win the tournament. (Tiger, Phil and Rory). With rain in the forecast all weekend anything is possible and there is no doubt you will see one of the big names fall behind early. I’m going to give [...]
Giants Post-Draft Review RD1 #19 Justin Pugh OL Syracuse- Pugh was definitely a low risk selection, and one we have come to expect from Jerry Reese in the first round of the draft. Pugh is a very versatile piece for the Giants, the kind they can move around to any position on the offensive line. David Diehl has had some strong years in blue, but it is clear he cannot [...]
13 Straight: Blessing or Fools Gold? The red-hot Knicks have won 13 straight behind some amazing scoring performances by Carmelo Anthony. They have stepped up their defensive intensity by allowing just 93 points per game in their last ten games.
