And a good morning to you all. Lovely one here in northern New Jersey as I head back to Giants camp for another day of interviews there. When I arrive, I expect to find the team ... looking pretty much the same as it did Wednesday. Yeah, Steve Smi...

Kerry Collins announced his retirement Thursday after 16 NFL seasons, and that matters to the NFC East blog because of the somewhat significant place he occupies in the history of the New York Giants. No, as Mike Garafolo points out, he's not Phil...

My wife and I were living together when it came time to propose, so I was able to hand her the ring instead of having to mail it to her. As we discussed Wednesday, not everyone is so fortunate. We do all, however, have the links. They're going to ...

When we last left our heroes, things were looking a little better on the NFL labor front, with the sides negotiating until all hours late last week and promising to resume talking after the holiday weekend. Those who were hoping to spend their Fourth...

The optimism over the possibility of the NFL lockout ending soon has spread to the fantasy football community, and our excellent fantasy writers rolled out a whole bunch of new content this week that's worth looking at if fantasy football is your kin...

See, to me, this can only be a good sign. The fact that the NFLPA would ask commissioner Roger Goodell -- and that he would agree -- to speak to rookies at the rookie symposium the NFLPA is having in lieu of the one the league canceled because of the...

I link, therefore I am. Dallas Cowboys "Leaving himself out of it," DeMarcus Ware says Darrelle Revis is the best defensive player in the NFL. Guy knows talent, and yes of course he himself belongs in the discussion. I'm still taking a healthy ...

Morning. Let's make this quick. I have a lot of posting to do before the 1:40 pm showing of "Cars 2." We'll start, as we always do, with the links: Dallas Cowboys Matt Mosley throws cold water on the idea of Nnamdi Asomugha to the Cowboys. Does...

Happy Flag Day, everyone. No matter what we do these days, we have offensive lines on the brain. Fired-up Friday was about left tackles. Last Thursday's column was about offensive lines. Power Rankings, which come out today, rank the best left tackle...

All right. I'm working today. Who's with me? (***crickets***) Well, whatever. The few of you who stick around get a full day of NFC East bloggage before the big weekend hits. We're going to try to top last week's Eli-Romo debate and the 1,200 o...

Morning. Quick little bit of background here. All this stuff we do and debate here that involves rankings and voting? Not my first rodeo. In 17 years as a professional sportswriter, you do a lot of it. I covered baseball long enough that I have a Hal...

ESPN.com's John "The Professor" Clayton went to the trouble of ranking the starting quarterbacks in the league this week. After Michael Vick's breakout performance this season, I expected him to easily be in the top five. But Clayton has him at No. 8...

We do it every week at the same time. Let's take a look at who the ESPN experts like in games involving NFC East teams, and then I'll provide my own stone-cold locks: Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles Maybe the experts turned in their picks be...

Five nuggets of knowledge about Week 16 games: Can the Giants shake off last Sunday's devastating loss to the Eagles? Giants quarterback Eli Manning requested time alone with his teammates Monday, and coach Tom Coughlin was happy to oblige. His s...

FALLING 1. Hunter Smith, former Washington Redskins punter/holder: This probably qualifies as dog-piling, but we should at least acknowledge Smith's time with the Skins. If the guy was leading the league in net average, maybe you stick with him af...

FALLING 1. Ahmad Bradshaw, New York Giants running back: Surely you've heard by now that coach Tom Coughlin has demoted Bradshaw to second-string after his fumbling issues this season. He was stripped by Eagles rookie defensive end Brandon Graham ...
