NFL Season Preview: New York Giants

Peter King's Onion Doppleganger
It's almost NFL season, which means we're all about to experience a solid five months of Peter King. This is fine; King knows more about football than almost everyone we know. But be prepared: MMQB is about to take up residence in your brain and lay eggs....
There Are Safeties Weaker Than Ryan Seacrest
You know, we didn't mean to come across as openly derisive toward Ryan Seacrest yesterday when we pointed out that he will be a co-host of the Super Bowl this year. In fact, we clearly underestimated the guy....

If Only The Large Breasted Hot Women Would Leave Athletes Alone!
The handsome rapscallion you see right there is Will Demps, a slightly mediocre free safety for the New York Giants who's pretty much destined to be on a reality show in six years. He's a smoldering fellow, and you know what that means: He just can't keep the groupies off him....

He Got His Cover, So Now He's Gone
How exciting it must be, to be 20 years old, a sophomore in college and on the cover of Sports Illustrated's College Football Preview edition. (SI has the Illini going 7-5!) What a thrill. What an honor....
The Super Bowl Gets More SUPER
You might think that Richard Simmons hanging out with Howie Long and company is just an anomaly, a tiny bit of happenstance. But then again, you don't know who's hosting the pregame and halftime festivities for Fox at Super Bowl XLII....
Bledsoe Never Really Wanted To Play
It is only in retirement that Drew Bledsoe confirmed what we always pretty much knew: He never really wanted to be much of a football player....
You Can't Tell, But Howie Long Is Erect
If we know our average Deadspin reader, you were obviously watching "Fox & Friends" on the Fox News Channel this morning. But just in case ...

Ron Mexico, Head For The Clink
We have become so jaded by the American legal system that it's difficult to imagine a celebrity the likes of Michael Vick actually facing any real jail time. We imagined probation picking up dog doo with his teeth, and a hefty fine. But if the feds were out to get Ron Mexico, it's starting to look l...

Wait ... A Tolerable Monday Night Football Broadcast?
So we were watching ESPN's "Monday Night Football" last night, and we noticed this odd feeling, a peculiar sensation that we had, up to that point, never experienced. We couldn't figure it out; were we developing some sort of cold? And then we realized: We were watching "Monday Night Football" ... a...
It's Officially Madden Day
In case you were wondering why no one in your office is, you know, around today, it's because Madden 08 was released last night. Because we are afraid to leave our apartment, we order from Amazon, so we won't see the games for a couple more days. But if you aren't waiting that long, it's a big deay...
Revisiting The Seventh Floor Crew
Every once in a while, we like to check in on our old friends of the Seventh Floor Crew. We could listen to the ole Miami Hurricanes hip-hopping all day long, and it's always nice to see what they're up to these days....
