Two 4th round picks is a positive IMO. You can still get quality in that round.

Giants to open at home v Cowboys

I figured it would be either Green Bay or Dallas. Both teams have a huge fan base and are consider "America's Team" past & present.

Open the season with a W, nice.

[dabomb2045]

Kinda surprised.....I figured it would be Green Bay. I like this better though. Giants will be able to start off the season on the big stage with a W.

In the quiet of a 26th-floor office of Goodwin Proctor LLP in midtown Manhattan Tuesday, two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning sat with the Daily News for a brief interview, before the Giants quarterback attended a March of Dimes reception, for which he is a celebrity chairman.

There was no media mosh pit, unlike 24 hours earlier when reporters descended upon the Jets' Florham Park, N.J. facility like vultures to take in the hyped press conference for Gang Green's newly acquired backup quarterback, Tim Tebow. Tuesday, it was only Manning, a News reporter, a March of Dimes representative, one photographer and a security guard.

Coughlin Talks About New Contract & The Jets

Their acquisition of Tim Tebow has overshadowed the Giants in the New York area, but Coughlin insisted he doesn't mind one bit. Perhaps tweaking his local rival, Coughlin said fans remember championships more than anything.
"You know who won the Super Bowl, you know who the world champions are," he said. "Whether we're on the front page every day or not, it's not that important. New Yorkers know."

"We've had a lot of good discussions since the Super Bowl, and I have no doubt it's going to get done very soon," Mara told the Post.. "As I've said, Tom is our guy, and we think we have the best coach in the league."

Defensive end Osi Umenyiora, who requested a trade before last season, will be back with the team, according to Coughlin.

They are taking all the NYG scraps. The past 2 years Jacobs wasnt the same anyway.

Great news about Osi!!

I think that's more hope and optimism than inside knowledge.

Looks really nice. At least there is some blue in this ring. Unlike the rings from Super Bowl XLVI.
Man, seeing those 4 lombardi trophies really brings it home for me. We are 4-Time Super Bowl Champs!!! Let's repeat!!

Yeah the SB42 rings were very bland IMO.

[OlgMvp]

I really won't mind losing guys like Manningham as long they think it's a definitely possibility of retaining guys like Osi and JPP. If we can keep the three big pass rushers, I have faith in Coughlin and co. to keep producing receivers. That's something they've had a knack for, as well as getting Eli to take someone under his wing and help create a reliable receiver.

Great video on the History of Big Blue.

Just got season ticket renewal.
Unlike their colleagues in the Bronx, no price increase again, for seats or parking.

Basically it's a precaution. Resting those dogs as much as possible for the up coming season. He will be in Training camp though.

It's going to be interesting to see what they do at RB. I'm guessing they draft someone in the middle rounds

Giants will unveil their new jersey 11AM today@ giants.com.

They better not make too many changes.

Most of the changes in the new unis involve materials rather than design, but the new footwear look really nice.

The Collar and the two tone footwear I think are the worst parts. Extremly happy the Giants didnt change.
