Antonio Pierce has heard the audio tape of Gregg Williams’ pre-Saints-Niners playoff game tirade. And for the most part, he doesn’t mind it. Much like former Giants linebacker Carl Banks, who told the Daily News on Thursday that Williams ...  

ESPN NFL analyst Antonio Pierce, who played for the Redskins in 2004 when Gregg Williams was their defensive coordinator, had some thoughts on the audio of Williams' pregame speech that was released Thursday. Antonio sat down with Rachel Nichols ...  

New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese is fond of saying that beyond the NFL draft's third round is when team personnel really start earning their paychecks, and quite a few people in front offices around the league got a good start on that in a fourth round that featured a great deal of talent. Of course, various dings pushed these prospects to the third day of the draft, but there are a lot of rotational players in this round as well as...

The 2012 NFL draft is just a day away and I can't wait to see who my New York Giants are going to draft. The Giants have some immediate needs that could use some tending to. A new TE is a must. We could also use some more help in the secondary. The O-line is also suspect so picking up an offensive lineman is key. And let's not forget to grab a RB and a WR.
