Giants defense falls apart, offense no help in 26-6 disaster in Denver
Just days after winning their first game in a month, the players on the New York Giants roster thought it would be fun to play a trick by leaving their playbooks back in New York and winging the entire game. Only one problem: The holiday was not Halloween, it was Thanksgiving. The game was an odd one, to say the least. The Giants’ run defense looked so bad at times that I wondered if defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan missed the plane to Denver. The TV cameras proved otherwise, zooming in on Sheridan’s face as announcers Bob Papa and Matt Millen got used to saying “first down, Denver”.

Giants vs. Broncos: Thanksgiving Edition
Thanksgiving, the happy and cheery day where everyone appreciates one another, right? Ironically enough, the day of “Thanks” will include hard-hitting linebackers, big and nasty defensive linemen, and maybe even some broken bones in the mix. Thanksgiving Day specials in the NFL will run throughout the day, beginning at 12:30 PM Eastern time when the Green Bay Packers hope to keep their realistic playoff hopes alive when they travel to Detroit to take on the Lions. At 4:15, the Dallas Cowboys will host Oakland Raiders in the first Thanksgiving matchup in the new Cowboys Stadium.

Tynes kicks Giants back into playoff position as New York wins in OT
The Giants won five straight games to open the season, then took a month-long vacation. Fortunately for them, the vacation is over thanks to one the best offensive performances of Eli Manning’s career. Manning, who threw for a career-high 384 yards in the 31-28 victory over Atlanta, fired six passes to receiver Mario Manningham. Mannningham averaged 21 yards per catch and totaled 126 yards on the day. Receiver Ste

Should the Mets bring back Carlos Delgado?
Carlos Delgado is probably sitting at home enjoying the off-season with his family. But that won’t last for long. News reports surfaced today that Delgado will be playing winter ball in Puerto Rico, a sign that the veteran first baseman assumes he has something more to prove. After playing in only 26 games in 2009 before hitting the disabled list for good, Delgado had worked his way back into shape in hopes of returning in 2010. In his career with the Mets, Delgado has hit 104 home runs. As Delgado’s 38th birthday looms, the Mets’ front office has decisions to make. Do they go with the experienced veteran, or do they take the recently-common Moneyball appr

Bye week to benefit struggling Giants following heartbreaking loss
With a 6-3 record within reach, the Giants sent their defensive unit onto the field late in the fourth quarter in an attempt to hold off Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers. Within a blink of an eye, New York was 5-4. The Giants submitted a fairly decent performance at the Meadowlands on Sunday evening, as quarterback Eli Manning threw for over 200 yards and two touchdowns while avoiding any interceptions. Manning led the team down the field in the fourth quarter with hopes of scoring a touchdown, but RB Brandon Jaco
