GIANTS KEEP VETERAN LONG SNAPPER ZAK DeOssie FOR 2017 SEASON

Michael Eisen

DeOssie is entering his 11th NFL season, all with the Giants. Quarterback Eli Manning, who is preparing for his 14th season, is the only current Giants player who has been with the team longer than DeOssie. They are the only players remaining from the Giants’ 2007 Super Bowl XLII championship team, and two of the five players left from the team that won Super Bowl XLVI (Jason Pierre-Paul, Mark Herzlich and Will Beatty, all of whom are free agents).

HOUSTON: The first thing players on both teams were asked after the New England Patriots erased a 25-point deficit midway through the third quarter and found a way to beat the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in overtime of Super Bowl LI was…what happened? What switch went off in the minds of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and […]

BALDY: EAGLES FANS HAVE EVERY RIGHT AND REASON TO DREAM

Brian Baldinger

I would like to dedicate this column to creating a dream for an Eagles fan that is not far-fetched, based in reality, and can be a catalyst for Eagle in success in 2017.
In semi-recent history the league has proven that on average there are five new playoff teams each successive year…so…

FOR DR. SHILLING, A LIFE OF MEDICINE WAS ALWAYS IN THE CARDS

Al Thompson

For the Director of the Adult Reconstructive Orthopedic Program at Cooper Medical Center, the path becoming a surgeon showed itself through sports.
Most kids, when they talk about what they want to be when they grow up, usually change their mind a few times before he or she find their station in life.
That was not the case with Jack Shilling.

BOTH SUPER BOWL TEAMS WILL FIELD GREAT OFFENSIVE LINES: ALSO, A PREDICTION

Al Thompson

HOUSTON: There will be weaknesses on both the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots that each team will try to exploit.
One area each team considers a strength is their respective offensive lines.
The Patriots starting five have not played for any team other than the Patriots, which would give them an ideal level of continuity.
The Falcons have Alex Mack, who is listed by former NFL lineman Brian Baldinger as the “best center in the game.” Mack, who was drafted in the first round by the Cleveland Browns in 2009, was able to, on March 2, 2016, void his contract with the Browns, making him a free agent.

PATRIOTS QB TOM BRADY PRESS CONFERENCE THURSDAY FEBRUARY 2, 2017

Al Thompson

HOUSTON: Tom Brady talks to the media for the last time before he takes on the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI. Brady could be the first quarterback to lead his team to five Super Bowl titles.
It may not be fair, but NFL quarterbacks are judged by championships they’ve won. If he pulls this off, it will be tough to argue he isn’t the greatest quarterback of all time.
