If there was a moment last season that Eli Manning would like to forget, it came in the playoffs against the Carolina Panthers. Manning and company did nothing. They had the ball for 35 plays and gained 132 yards. Under intense pressure from the Panthers front seven, Manning got intercepted three times in what was his worst performance of the season. A year later, the Panthers (6-6) again stand in ...

Jacksonville's injury-depleted defence suffered another setback Monday night when safety Donovin Darius broke his right leg against the New York Giants and was lost for the season. It's the second consecutive season that Darius' season ended early. He missed most of last year after tearing a ligament in his left knee. Darius fell to the ground and winced in pain during a 13-yard screen pass from Eli Manning to Tiki ...

New York Giants halfback Brandon Jacobs is unhappy with the NFL and plans to let the league know. Jacobs revealed Friday that the league fined him between US$5,000 and $10,000 for shoving a football underneath his jersey to celebrate a touchdown run against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. Jacobs, who said he will appeal, insisted he was not celebrating. He said that when he puts the ball underneath his jersey to create a bulging stomach and ...

Tiki Barber and the New York Giants did a pretty good impression of the Atlanta Falcons. Beating the Falcons at their own game, Barber rushed for 185 yards, Jeremy Shockey caught a couple of touchdown passes and the Giants overpowered Atlanta in the second half for a 27-14 victory Sunday. The Giants (3-2) fell behind 14-3 when Warrick Dunn broke off a 90-yard touchdown on Atlanta's first offensive play of ...

New York Giants Pro Bowl tight end Jeremy Shockey did not break any bones in his right foot or ankle this past weekend against the Washington Redskins.

Oft-injured Pro Bowl tight end Jeremy Shockey of the New York Giants underwent a test near his right ankle on Monday and had another one scheduled for Tuesday. Shockey was forced off the field in Sunday's 19-3 win over Washington with what was described as a foot injury. X-rays after the game did not reveal any broken bones. However, Shockey had more tests in the area of his ankle on ...

The New York Giants have said repeatedly this week that their bye could not have come at a better time. What a mistake! The bye week never comes at a good time for the Giants (1-2). Since the NFL started giving teams off for a week during the regular season in 1990, the Giants have rarely done anything right in the week after they return. Their 3-14 mark in games ...

New York Giants linebacker Carlos Emmons will miss Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins with a chest injury. Emmons, who was hurt in the loss to Seattle on Sept. 24, created a stir in the locker-room on Tuesday, saying he might play this weekend. The original diagnosis called for him to be sidelined about three weeks with a slightly torn pectoral muscle. After saying he would not question Emmons, coach ...

Pro Bowl tight end Jeremy Shockey won't be benched for comments that the New York Giants were outcoached in a recent loss to the Seattle Seahawks. After first refusing to answer the question, coach Tom Coughlin said Tuesday that Shockey would start against the Washington Redskins this weekend if his sprained right ankle was OK. ``We'll see about his health and his condition,'' a miffed Coughlin said Tuesday after practice. ...

In the weeks leading up to the season, the Super Bowl was all the New York Giants talked about. Eli Manning, Tiki Barber and the second-greatest offence in franchise history were all back. The no-hands secondary was revamped. Bookend Pro Bowl defensive ends Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora were going to create havoc again on opposing quarterback, and US$49 million linebacker LaVar Arrington was going to be reincarnation of Lawrence ...
