Former New York Giants tight end McKenna Sean Pascoe played 7 years in the NFL, except nobody knew him by that name. Now, Bear Pascoe, yes, they know that name. Pascoe wasn't an offensive specialist, catching first down passes over the middle on a regular basis. He amassed 40 receptions and 2 touchdowns over 85 games. One very cool stat, Bear won a Super Bowl with the Giants 10 years ago over the Patriots. He'll certainly never forget that.
There are some very good memories of Odell Beckham, Jr. in a New York Giants uniform and some not so good ones, as well. The blazing speed and one handed grabs were often offset by fights on the sidelines with kicking nets or party boat pictures days before a crucial playoff match-up against the Green Bay Packers. Going on national television and taking shots at two time Super Bowl MVP quarterback, Eli Manning ,seemed to be the plane ticket out of town. Beckham, Jr. had worn out his welcome with the fans in New York but it seems maybe not the players.
Even when New York teams are playing for the Super Bowl, most people are watching for the commercials. The years the Giants and Jets won, here are the best TV ads.
The simple answer is, 'yes.' Is it a long shot that the Giants will actually be in a position to add the quarterback in pursuit of Super Bowl victory #8? Of course it is but this is sports, so never say never. On Monday, the far-fetched dream of TB12 playing for Big Blue maybe stayed alive, just a little. On his SiriusXM show “Let’s Go!”, co-host Jim Gray asked Tom Brady about the possibility of returning to football. Now it's Tom Brady's show. Jim Gray isn't asking ANY questions that Tom doesn't want to field.
The Giants, Jets and Bills have all made it to the NFL's highest peak, but not every team was good enough to win. Here are ten times NY teams played for the Super Bowl.
Patrick Graham is leaving the Giants to become the new defensive coordinator of the Raiders. Graham is friends with Joe Judge, but losing him is a big loss.
As New York Giants owner John Mara and new general manager Joe Schoen tried to defend their hiring process against allegations made by former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores, new Giants head coach Brian Daboll continued to build his coaching staff. In the process, Daboll made Big Blue history.
Tuesday afternoon, Brian Flores filed a class action lawsuit in the Southern District of New York, that includes the New York Giants, the NFL and all 32 teams. It even includes allegations that Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offered Flores $100,000 PER LOSS! The bombshell lawsuit claims that the Giants interviewed Brian Flores for their head coaching position, even though they had already decided to go with Brian Daboll. The class-action suit claims that Flores' interview with Big Blue was a “sham.”
I don't like Tom Brady, but I respect Tom Brady. And, I thank Tom Brady, because he played a huge role in the success of the 2000's New York Giants, and in my fandom.
