So the Giants got their clock cleaned by the Eagles yesterday. The only question for you, the reader, is- were you really surprised? If you were, then I’m not sure what else to say… Blogging the Giants for the last 10 (okay 16) years has been a cheaper form of therapy.

Despite being ravaged by injuries this season, the Jets are 6-3 and they are not going away. Beating one of the 3 elite teams in the NFL will get you some respect. Quickly. The Jets won last Sunday with Defense. But there is a … [Read more...] about NY Jets Check-in
