Jane McManus joined The Journal News in 1999, after working at The Daily News and Newsday. She covered the Jets for the Brett Favre season, and before that was a college beat writer and covered pro tennis. She plays roller derby as Lesley E. Visserate. She went to St. John's College in Annapolis, Md. and worked as a paralegal in Manhattan on cases involving the NBA and boxing, which is what sparked the whole sportswriting idea. That and watching the Knicks during the Patrick Ewing era. A trip to the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism honed her high-school paper skills, and she is an adjunct there for the sports journalism class that raised her. She runs, plays basketball and chases her two girls, Jean and Charlotte.

Giants were in Albany today in preparation for the start of training camp, and the coaches took questions. Here is a selective Q & A.
Is it harder to sell team over self after the team has won the Super Bowl and now everybody is looking for credit and/or more money?
Head coach Tom Coughlin: … Team [...]
Columnist Sam Borden writes that trading TE Jeremy Shockey was the right move. You can read the story here. Here is a taste:
“There was a time when it was thought that Shockey might end up being one of the great Giants, one of those Giants. He was a big-time player in the biggest city, a [...]
Today’s Journal News has our story about the newly instituted Personal Seat Licenses. The main points:
1. Being in the stadium just got a whole lot more expensive.
2. Being on the waiting list just got a whole lot more futile.
3. Consider your seat like New York City real estate, you will pay a premium and resell [...]
Mark asked a great question, and I thought it warranted a new post.
If you buy your PSL, do you have to resell it to the team?
John Mara says no. And Mark is right, the waiting list, with 130,000 people, becomes virtually meaningless in terms of season tickets, although you will have first dibs on season [...]
The Giants will be charging season ticket holders a one-time fee of at least $1,000 to keep those tickets once the team moves to the new stadium, currently being constructed in East Rutherford, N.J. for the 2010 season.
Since current season tickets start at $800 for the upper bowl, the fee, called a personal seat license [...]
The Newark Star-Ledger reports that the Giants have signed Chris Snee to a six-year contract extension. The money would make Snee one of the top five right guards in the league in terms of salary.
At 6-foot-3 and 317 pounds, Snee has started 48 straight games, the last of which gave the Giants a Super Bowl [...]
Hey everyone, Alex Myers here. I just got off a conference call regarding Michael Strahan joining Fox Sports and the former defensive end seems excited about his new situation.

Those who go can purchase a behind the scenes tour of the new Giants Stadium for $10. The money raised will go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The fair opens [...]
