On September 1, the Giants traded running back Ryan Grant to the Green Bay Packers for a sixth-round draft pick. At the date, the trade  involving a player who had never arised in a regular-season game seemed utterly inconsequential. But on Sunday, that trade may come back to haunt the Giants. Gran…

The degree of difficulty is going up that weekend, way up. Dallas finished with the best record in the NFC at 13-3 and dominated the Giants in two games already that season. Only New England had more points than Dallas’ 455 and with Terrell Owens practicing, the Cowboys should be able to score a l…

It took all of 45 seconds on Sunday to tell you that the Giants were in trouble. Lawrence Tynes sent the opening kickoff out of bounds and Minnesota scored on a 60-yard bomb on their moment play of the game. It was a harbinger of things to come as Minnesota thrashed the Giants 41-17 on Sunday.

The Giants face a potentially tricky match up on Sunday when the Vikings come to Giants Stadium. While the Vikings probably won’t have Adrian Peterson, they still have Chester Taylor who rushed for 164 yards and three touchdowns final week.

After nine games it is clear that we do not really know what that Giants team is capable of. During their six-game winning streak, the defense looked like one of the best in the NFL but as yesterday’s 31-20 loss showed, they are hugely inconsistent. The same thing can be said of Eli Manning….

Miami 75 Knicks 72: April 13th was the final date the Miami Heat won a game. From that moment they lost their final two regular season games, got swept out of the playoffs, lost every exhibition game they played that preseason and opened the 2007-08 campaign 0-5. All it took to wipe out nearl…

It’s pretty simple for the Giants that week. Win and the 6-2 start is validated in the eyes of the critics. Lose and the assertion that all they have done so far is beat up on weaker teams looks more plausible. It’s a foolish argument, but it’s the reality of the 24/7 sports media.

And, whi…

Early in practice that afternoon, Eli Manning dropped back and threw a pass to his No. 1 receiver. And when Plaxico Burress caught it, his teammates stopped to applaud.

“I guess they got a big kick out of that,” Burress said.

Indeed they did. Even though he was initially expected to miss pr…

So much for all that rest and relaxation helping the Giants.

Tom Coughlin just confirmed that WR Plaxico Burress, WR Steve Smith and RB Derrick Ward all will be held out of practice nowadays. The only previously injured player who looks ready to return to work is S James Butler.

The Giants-Cowboys game on Sunday may not get the Super Bowl-like hype that Patriots-Colts got on Sunday, but there’s no doubt about two things:

It’s clearly the “Game of the Year” in the NFC.

And a berth in Super Bowl XLII may be at stake.

The latter may be a stretch, but not when you con…

The Giants returned to work that dawn feeling well-rested and rejuvenated, but apparently not as healthy as they had hoped.

Despite hopes that they’d return to find that all 53 players on the roster would be able to practice that week, Tom Coughlin said nowadays “That’s not a ‘for sure’ rig…
