While temperatures will increase by game time, it's still going to be ass-cold. The cold weather and the importance of the game makes it an event that could be one for the ages, something that seems to happen with frigid temperatures. Despite the cold weather,......

Yes, a trip to the Super Bowl may be the ultimate prize, but how about a whole lot of food or a place in a wedding party? And, look at the lengths that some “fans’ will go for victory, is it ethical to deprive someone of the ability to watch......

Believe it or not a trace of snow was measured in Central Park last night. The snow lasted only the briefest of moments as a warmer air mass soon arrived. That warm air mass didn't last too long either. The storm that brought us last night's precipitation has moved out to sea. As it moves it has been strengthening. The stronger storm won't bring us more rain but it is pulling more and more......

The Giants got the ball back with 47 seconds left in the half and Eli Manning brought them right down the field for......

Don’t worry everybody, there’s plenty of room on the Giants bandwagon so feel free to hop on. After being pronounced all but dead after a week one spanking in Philadelphia, the Giants won two games at home and then went out yesterday and defeated the Packers, 14-7,at Lambeau Field. It was New York’s first victory in Green Bay since 1974. The Giants are now 3-1 and seem to be getting better every week while the......

The Giants haven�t won at Lambeau Field since 1971 when Fran Tarkenton, pictured above, was quarterback and Alex Webster was coaching on the sidelines. So they�ve got that going for them, which is nice. Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre is banged up with a bruise �the size of a softball� on his leg, but he�ll be making his record 212th straight start at quarterback. Favre will be doing his best to stop the Packers� two......
