Jeff Gold

Jeff GoldJeff Gold reached the soccer pinnacle when he was 7 years old. As the star of the Irvington Hurricanes, he led his team to a 13-0-2 record, scoring a goal in every game. Jeff didn't improve much and all of the others did. He only scored two goals as a varsity player, and one time, he was called Josh, so only one goal was official. Jeff worked at The Journal News for a year after graduating from Colgate University. He left for three years to work at Newsday, and returned to The Journal News in 2007.

David gets a big Diehl

May
6

$$$$$ for David Diehl. A starter on the offensive line since his rookie season, Diehl has proven to be one of the Giants’ most reliable performers. After spending his first three-plus seasons at guard, Diehl was moved to left tackle at the end of the 2006 season and played the big-money spot for all of [...]

Who do you want? Who do you predict?

April
26

The title of the post says it all.

Desires and predictions…and that includes Shockey.

 I’ll get it started. Kenny Phillips in Round 1. Shockey goes to New Orleans for a 2nd and a conditional 2009 draft pick, something like a 5th that could escalate into a 3rd.

 The draft will focus on defense.

Do you know who Roman Harper is?

April
21

He just might be a new starting safety on the Giants by the end of the week.

Harper is a two-year vet from the Saints, and a player the Giants have reportedly targeted in their Jeremy Shockey-trade talks with New Orleans. Sports Illustrated’s Peter King and ESPN.com’s Michael Smith have both mentioned Harper in the past [...]

Another ring for Eli

April
20

This one figures to be a little more understated than the serious bling the Giants players will get with their Super Bowl rings.

Eli Manning married Abby McGrew in a wedding in Mexico this weekend. The two met when they were both students at Ole Miss.

Strahan is…

April
17

Not being pressured by the Giants to make a decision about whether to return for a 16th season, according to the AP. (That’s Associated Press, not Antonio Pierce).

It’s no secret that Strahan wants a raise on his $4 million dollar salary to play this year, something the Giants steadfastly refused to even consider last [...]

The Defense Begins (ok, not really)

April
17

There’s been plenty of talk about the 2008 regular season schedule, but this should really get everyone excited.

The Giants open up the PRESEASON schedule with a road game against the Lions on Thursday, August 9 at 7 p.m.

(This is a change from the original schedule in which the Giants had their preseason opener against Carolina. [...]
