It's that time of the week when Super Bowl analysis starts to devolve into silliness, isn't it? Thank the stars TMZ is there to counterbalance things with some serious, well-sourced reporting: More »

Vince Wilfork Straight Up Told The Refs They Blew A Call In New England's Favor

Barry Petchesky — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:10:00 EST

It goes without saying (and yet bears repeating) that NFL Films does an incredible job. Their weekly Sound FX packages, where selected players are mic'ed up for the game (like Tebow!), are slick and entertaining, but above all insightful. More »

Toilet Use In NYC Jumped 13 Percent In The Immediate Aftermath Of The Super Bowl

Dom Cosentino — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 17:30:00 EST

It wasn't enough to overwhelm the sewage system, but according to the city's Department of Environmental Protection, the surge caused the water level at a nearby reservoir to drop by two inches. Which means a lot of fans were holding much more than just their breath. More »

The Giants Parade, Through The Lens Of A Guy Who Got Kicked Out Of It

Barry Petchesky — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 16:15:00 EST

I am a Giants fan, but I'm also fascinated by the human condition, and I happen to think nothing is more fascinating than a million people brought together by nothing more than a football team and the rare socially acceptable opportunity to get drunk before breakfast. It was with this in mind that I set off for Lower Manhattan this morning, with zero ideas for my "coverage" and even less forethought of how to make it happen. Would you be surprised if I told you the whole thing was a disaster, and that I was forcibly removed from Broadway by an NYPD sergeant after five minutes? More »

Eli Manning: Stop Wearing T-Shirts Over Your Shoulder Pads

Drew Magary — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:59:18 EST

I'm really happy for Eli Manning and all, especially since he just beat America's Most Dominant Sports City for the second time and sent Shank into his usual round of rectal self-examination. But someone needs to explain to this man that he'll never stop being treated like a 12-year-old from a Sunny D commercial if he keeps rocking the t-shirt-over-pads combo every time he wins a title.

New Jersey Football Team Makes Triumphant Return To New Jersey

Barry Petchesky — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 13:55:00 EST

We are currently watching, with attention as rapt as rapt can be, the silent helicopter-cam of Newark Liberty International Airport, where the Giants are due to land any moment. The team, which proudly plays out of East Rutherford, N.J., will hold a ticker-tape parade tomorrow across state lines in New York, perhaps as a sop since they haven't played a home game there in 37 years.

Lucky Psychopath Wins $50,000 On Tom Brady's Safety

Sean Newell — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 23:41:00 EST

Benjamin Lyons is either crazy, rich or both. According to his Twitter bio, he is a law student—so let's go with crazy. According to Business Insider he threw down $1000 on a prop bet, at 50/1 odds, wagering that the Giants would score the first points of the Super Bowl on a safety. I don't know what your bank account looks like, but $1,000 is about $975 more than I would put down on a silly prop bet. More »

Lunatic Patriots Fans Put Eli Manning Effigy On A Spit And Roast It Over A Car

Sean Newell — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 10:30:00 EST

It would appear that a junkyard somewhere in the great state of New England put together this little slice of American pie that shows Eli Manning on a spit, being "roasted" by the "flames" of a "heaping wreck" of a Giants car after it had been destroyed by a Patriots Bronco. Give them credit, though. The fan-assisted flames gag is pretty ingenious. [Sweater Punch] More »

Massachusetts Thinks President Obama Should Root For The Patriots In The Super Bowl

Sean Newell — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:43:27 EST

According to the Massachusetts arm of Obama For America, a vote for the Pats is a vote for Obama. But if history is to be our guide, Obama should be pulling for the Giants. President Obama and a New York Giants vs. New England Patriots Super Bowl are inextricably linked. Think back to just four short years ago: The Giants won the Super Bowl in 2008 and Obama won the White House. More »

Man Named Tom Brady Says Thing, Radio Station Reports

Dom Cosentino — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:30:00 EST

"I'm Tom Brady, I'm from Staten Island and I predict Giants will prevail," Tom Brady told some poor reporter at 1010 WINS who drew the short straw. When you're scraping the bottom of Rick Reilly's barrel for Super Bowl week stories, it's probably time to rethink things. More »

Victor Cruz Is Only A Giant Because Rex Ryan Couldn't Keep His Mouth Shut

Barry Petchesky — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 12:35:00 EST

When it came time to break camp in 2010, Victor Cruz was decidedly on the bubble. It's not that he wasn't talented, but rather that the Giants weren't yet sure what they had. Ideally, they would have cut him and stashed him on the practice squad. It was a risk, given that any other team could have signed him, but the Giants front office doubted any other team would use a roster spot on an untested, undrafted receiver out of UMass. More »

Sorry Giants Fans, Chad McGhee Thinks The Patriots Will Dominate Your Team In The Super Bowl

Chad McGhee, the dean of Texas high-school six-man football observation, has some thoughts he'd like to share about the NFL's biggest game of the year. Granted, he had predicted the San Francisco 49ers would face the New England Patriots on Sunday. But, that doesn't change his vision of the outcome, he said during a telephone interview Monday afternoon. More »

Why The Giants Targeted A Player Prone To Concussions

Barry Petchesky — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:30:12 EST

The day after a conference championship game, there is an avalanche of coverage, usually sticking to the main storylines. But other than this New York Magazine story, it's odd that no one had made much of a fuss over two Giants saying they specifically targeted Kyle Williams because he had a history of concussions. And maybe, just maybe, that ruthless game plan played a part in Williams's two backbreaking fumbles. More »
