Texans Quarterback Matt Schaub was in Houston, I in New York, so when an 832 area code came up on my caller id, I knew it could only be one person.  Schaub, who is in Houston preparing for the 2010 season, is doing more than just working with his teammates, he's working with the community as well. He, along with Gatorade, have teamed-up in a summer-long campaign to "Beat the Heat". Through ...

After a disappointing end to a promising 5-0 start last year, and an epic collapse in the final month of the 2008 season, the Giants recognized that changes needed to be made. One of which lead to the release of former Giants’ linebacker Antonio Pierce. Although Pierce may have exited the New York spotlight, that didn’t stop him from grabbing some of its headlines this off-season when he publicly stated both player ...

Without question, the New York Giants have had one of the most tumultuous and roller coaster offseasons Big Blue has ever seen. Between coaching changes, Antonio Pierce's release, and Osi Umenyiora's retirement/trade talk, the Giant faithful have bit the bullet in hopes of brighter days. Unfortunately, the 2010 draft was the final straw before the questions would start.   Round 1: Jason Pierre-Paul Allow me to warn you before I sound off on the ...

Recently at a Gatorade event in SOHO New York, I had the privilege of meeting one of the most talented and distinguished quarterbacks in the NFL, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning.  For six years, Manning has been keeping Giants' fans on their toes with his erratic passes at times, and clutch fourth-quarter drives.  With the 2010 NFL Draft and regular season quickly approaching, and an offseason that ...

There are a lot of critics out there, many of them reside in the New York media, so it's no wonder former San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson would be prodded, poked, dissected, and placed under a microscope, even before he sees his first snap in a Jets uniform. While the football world places Tomlinson on the next train out of the NFL, the future Hall of Famer ...

It was a star-studded night, as athletes and entertainers united Tuesday under the Gatorade banner in SOHO New York. New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning, Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson, and mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs were on hand to help launch the event. "I think it's a great party," Tomlinson said. "People really need to know that this is something we've been taking for a long time, it's something ...

The Statue of Liberty stands in New York to symbolize many things. Within those meanings are messages, some of which are written on the statue itself.  One of the messages is a poem written by Emma Lazarus over 120 years ago, reading: "Give me your tired, your poor Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-toast to me, I lift my lamp beside the ...

For only $7.99 you can have the time of your life and keep your seed in its package, a fair price considering every NFL athlete is making money that can either rival or embarrass the president of the country they are employed in. Unfortunately, for most of the professional athletes in America, they don't seem to share the same views of safe sex and contraception as I do, thus leading ...

The New York Giants will host the first game in the new Meadowlands Stadium this fall, after a coin toss was used to determine which New York team would get the nod. After rumors swirled that the New York Giants had already been scheduled to break in the new stadium, the New York Jets suggested openly that a coin toss be used to determine the opening game. New York Jets owner ...

Perhaps the most pressing issue the New York Giants face is the one they havn't done anything about, the gaping hole at middle linebacker. The man who used to man the middle is no longer apart of Big Blue, leaving New York voiceless and talentless at one of the most important positions on the field. With possible candidates such as Gary Brackett and Karlos Dansby already off the market, the ...
