The degree of difficulty is going up this weekend, way up. Dallas finished with the best record in the NFC at 13-3 and dominated the Giants in two games already this season. Only New England had more points than Dallas’ 455 and with Terrell Owens practicing, the Cowboys should be able to score a lot this weekend. And that will be the challenge facing the Giants on Sunday. It sounds like Sam Madison will be......

After nine games it is clear that we do not really know what this 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. Eli teases you with just enough brilliance to make you think he is about to live up to his hype,......

The Giants enter 2007 with more questions than answers. The biggest one is how are they going to replace the 2,100 yards of offense generated by Tiki Barber last season? They don’t get any easier after that though. Will Michael Strahan play well after missing all of training camp? Can David Diehl play left tackle? Is Eli ready to take the next step? Is the secondary any better? Has Tom Coughlin really changed? Add......

On Tuesday, the American -ists will be celebrating democracy and hitting the polls, letting politicians know what they really think. It just made us wonder: if it were up to the -ist-a-verse, what would we be voting for? Londonist votes for better skincare, alternative spaces for art, cute little birds and the men who keep them, and concrete. Lots of concrete. Shanghaiist votes for one of the Bee Gees and Air Supply (it's a......

Football is a game of momentum-swings and the Giants and Cowboys had plenty of those Monday night. New York started out the game on a roll. Eli Manning and Plaxico Burress connected for a 50-yard touchdown on the fifth play from scrimmage. After trading punts, New York downed the ball on the Dallas 1 and LaVar Arrington broke into the Cowboy backfield to sack Drew Bledsoe for a safety. New York added a field......

This is a game that the Giants should easily win and those are the most dangerous types of games in December. Philadelphia has been decimated by injuries and bad behavior. Their three best offensive players, Donovan McNabb Brian Westbrook and Terrell Owens are all out for the season. They are starting a former Rutgers player at quarterback and they just got destroyed by the Seahawks 42-0 on national television. The one thing the Eagles have......

The bruised and battered Philadelphia Eagles limp into Giants Stadium fresh off a fourth quarter collapse Monday night against Dallas. As of right now, the Eagles will be without their two top offensive players, Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens. For the Giants, this game could not have come soon enough. After embarrassing themselves against the Vikings, the players are eager to get back onto the field and resume their pursuit of a playoff spot. All......

It seems as if Wayne Chrebet has played his last professional football game. The Jets' second all-time leading receiver was placed on injured reserve after incurring another concussion in a career that had already had a few more than doctors would allow someone to risk - reportedly eight of them. High school football players are usually forbidden to play ever again after two. At 5-10 and 188 lbs., the Garfield, N.J., product walked on at......

Unless you're totally oblivious, you might have realized that the Super Bowl is this Sunday. The Philadelphia Eagles finally got past the NFC Championship game take on the New England Patriots. Gothamist is totally flummoxed as to which team to pull for. The Patriots and the Eagles are both rivals of our local football teams, which have not come close to sniffing the Super Bowl since 2001 when the Giants were embarrassed by the Ravens.......

Hopefully the Jets (9-4) will not be in a giving mood as they prepare to host Seattle in an inter-conference battle on Sunday at 1 p.m. (TV: FOX 5, RADIO: 1050AM ESPN). Quarterback Chad Pennington may not be at 100 percent, but this week he was steadfast in defending offensive coordinator Paul Hackett, as well as those of himself. Mike Holmgren's Seahawks are an interesting bunch, considered by some to be a legitimate NFC title......
