NFL offensive tackle Nate Solder has been to four Super Bowls with the New England Patriots in his seven years in the League and won two of them (XLIX, LI). When you are 29 years old and have those rings in your trophy case, it is OK to look after yourself , your family and […]
Giants head coach Pat Shurmur is taking over a team that won just three games last year. Shurmur didn’t completely clean house but brought in enough to back up his coaching philosophies while keeping a bridge to connect with the players the team chooses to keep. Giants will get to see that Shurmur’s business-like temperament […]
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants today continued to add pieces to their new-look defense when they signed safety Michael Thomas, who played the previous five seasons with the Miami Dolphins. He is the seventh defensive player to join the team in the last two weeks. The others were linebackers Alec Ogletree and Kareem Martin; […]
The New York Football Giants decision to release veterans cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and punter Brad Wing this weekend no doubt jarred the memory for both Eagles and Giants fans in interesting ways depending on your rooting interest for two seasons that could not have been more different. For Eagles fans, watching Rodgers-Cromartie and much of […]
I have been blessed to cover the Eagles for 28 seasons now. There have been some exciting seasons and some you wish you could forget.

The Giants posted season-high totals of 504 total yards, 429 passing yards […]
EAST RUTHERFORD: There were plenty of questions on whether current Eagles quarterback Nick Foles could play like the Nick Foles who led the Eagles to the NFC East title in 2013, and a 6-2 record in 2014 before he was injured. Those questions were answered with capital YES Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium when the […]
The Giants are still fighting, the former despite an ankle injury he aggravated last week, and the latter with the weight of a dismal 2-11 record on their backs. Tomorrow, they can create a season highlight, and enjoy payback for perhaps their toughest defeat of the season, when they host the 11-2 Philadelphia Eagles, who have already clinched the NFC East title and have their eyes on securing the top seed in the conference playoffs.
The Giants would love to derail those plans, even temporarily.
This week the Eagles locker room wasn’t buzzing like a team that last week was the favorite to win the Super Bowl. This week players went about their business of getting ready to take on the New York Giants (2-11) know if they win, the minimum is that they will clinch a first round bye […]
