Age before ability: Why won't the Giants hand off to David Wilson?
It’s always dangerous to start calling for changes after gut-punch losses like last night’s 19-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, during which 100 percent of Giants fans watching on television were 100 percent sure that Lawrence Tynes had split the uprights with his second-chance field goal attempt.

Five starts in, Matt Harvey already belongs
In his five starts with the New York Mets, Matt Harvey has provided a great deal for fans to get excited about. But Thursday night's performance in an 8-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds was a whole new level of encouraging. More
Tom Coughlin gets his contract, and Parcells-like status; a German Giant waits for his visa
Tom Coughlin just signed a contract extension through 2014. He has won two Super Bowls in his eight seasons as Giants’ head coach, which was also true of Bill Parcells when he abruptly resigned several months before the 1991 season. More
The Giants are much, much more popular than the Jets now; Osi is agonized

(4)Like a nasty drunk, the 'Post' visits the stupidities of Anthony Weiner on his wife and newborn child

Joe Morris on Jacobs, Bradshaw and the running game of the 2011 Giants
The sentiment of Giants fans after yesterday’s thrilling win over the Arizona Cardinals can be summed up thusly: At 3-1, nobody’s complaining.
Nobody’s complaining about benefiting from a controversial call on receiver Victor Cruz’s boneheaded voluntary fumble, which otherwise would have cost the Giants the game. (It was the right call, despite what NFL rules guru Mike Pereira initially said.) Nobody’s complaining about an ugly win against what is probably a subpar team. Nobody’s complaining about a defense that gave up 156 rushing yards to a ground attack that hadn’t cracked 100 all year. And nobody’s complaining about the Giants’ running game, which looked bad yesterday, like it has all season. More
