New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers is currently at home watching his good friend and former LSU teammate, Jayden Daniels, stacking up playoff wins. While Nabers is undoubtedly thrilled for his buddy, he’s also likely quite sour over how his rookie season went. All of the personal achievements and individual records aside, the team compiled their worst record (3-14) in franchise history. Nabers deserves more than that, says former Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz. “I love the way he catches the football, I love his explosiveness. I think he’s an absolute superstar at the position, and we need to…

To the surprise of many, New York Giants co-owner John Mara signed off on the team appearing in “Hard Knocks: Offseason” last year in celebration of their 100th season. In hindsight, Mara might like to have that decision back. Although the Hard Knocks variant was well-received by fans and analysts, it did little to make the Giants appear like a functioning, well-run franchise. The five-episode docuseries instead highlighted their failed Saquon Barkley negotiations and inability to facilitate a draft day trade that would have rerouted the course of the organization. It also appeared to depict a rudderless team without an…

The New York Giants decided to run things back with the regime of general manager Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll, but it’s clear the pressure is on. During his year-end press conference, co-owner John Mara expressed frustration with losing and wouldn’t commit to Schoen or Daboll beyond the 2025 season. While that doesn’t necessarily make them lame ducks, it does mean their situation is fluid. Schoen has promised not to risk the future of the organization in an attempt to save his job, but that’s easier said than done. Knowing he could get the boot a year from…

Here’s a look at who Biden has pardoned and granted clemency to as his presidency comes to an end.Here’s a look at who Biden has pardoned and granted clemency to as his presidency comes to an end.    Image Credit: Anadolu via Getty Images President Joe Biden has commuted the sentences of more than 2,000 individuals and pardoning others convicted of nonviolent crimes. According to a White House announcement, those whose sentences are being commuted “were placed on home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities.” This marks the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.…

The New York Giants met with quarterback Russell Wilson last offseason but nothing materialized. Instead, he opted to sign a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wilson now appears headed back to free agency and once again, the Giants are in the market for a quarterback. They could sign or trade for a veteran or select one in the 2025 NFL draft. Or both. Wilson is an intriguing option given that he’s both a fit for Brian Daboll’s offensive system and has long desired to play in New York. And while he’s not the dominant quarterback he once was, he…

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley went off for more than 230 yards from scrimmage on Sunday, including two touchdown runs of 62 yards or more. The historical performance helped propel the Eagles to a 28-22 victory over the Los Angeles Rams and an NFC Championship showdown with the Washington Commanders. It was a nightmarish image for New York Giants co-owner John Mara and the team’s fans, but a moment of celebration for several former Giants. Quarterback Daniel Jones and wide receiver Sterling Shepard joined Barkley’s family in their booth and cheered on their good friend and long-time rivals. Saquon…

The Philadelphia Eagles will host the NFC Championship Game thanks to a historical performance by running back Saquon Barkley, who exploded for 232 total yards and two touchdowns on Sunday. Barkley had back-breaking runs of 62 yards and 78 yards to put the game on ice, both literally and figuratively. And several of his former New York Giants teammates were on hand cheering for their long-time rivals. It was a tough watch for Giants fans, who could do nothing but marvel at the team’s former captain and offensive superstar. He’s doing for the Eagles what they always wished for him…

The New York Giants opened the year hopeful that they had narrowed the gap in the NFC East and would celebrate their 100th season with a return to the playoffs. What transpired is the exact opposite of that. The Giants went winless in the NFC East for the first time in franchise history. They won only a single home game and have been forced to sit idly by while their former coaches and players enjoy playoff success. It has become a nightmare of epic proportions. Over the weekend, the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles won their respective contests to set…

The Philadelphia Eagles will face the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday — a prospect that not only sticks in the craw of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones but that of New York Giants co-owner John Mara as well. While the Giants are sitting home and contemplating their future after a 3-14 season, their two division rivals are vying for a spot in the Super Bowl. The irony is that both the Eagles and Commanders achieved their recent success at the expense of the Giants. The Eagles added running back Saquon Barkley, who the Giants chose not…
