I’m not saying it’s a bad quarterback class; there several exciting QB prospects. But quarterback drafting generally is risky, and the Giants don’t need one at the top of this draft. Gettleman and the Giants should have their choice of at least one of the two best non-QBs in this draft — running back Saquon Barkley or defensive end Bradley Chubb. And if the Browns go quarterback at No. 1 as expected, the Giants could choose either talented player....

The Giants quarterback’s season was cut short in 2021 after a Week 12 neck injury landed him on IR, but there was no surgery that took place to correct whatever went wrong. On Thursday, reporters noticed that Jones had a scar on the front of his neck, just underneath his Adam’s apple, and Jones revealed that he had surgery this offseason — but the surgery wasn’t to correct whatever was happening with his neck....

It’s already known that Pierre-Paul lost his right index finger, fractured his thumb and received skin grafts from injuries suffered in a July 4 fireworks accident. But according to an ESPN source, a portion of another finger in his right hand may also be missing. PHOTOS: All-time dumbest sports injuries | Eli Manning got paid The Giants placed the franchise tag on Pierre-Paul during the offseason and aren’t going to rescind the offer at this time — mainly because he hasn’t signed it yet....

According to ESPN.com, the team reportedly signed Brett Jones, who was named top offensive lineman in 2014 by the Canadian Football League. Jones is a 6-foot-2, 318-pound center who played for the Calgary Stampeders. Jones helped the Calgary Stampeders to a Grey Cup in November. The report said Jones also worked out with the Eagles, Steelers, Cardinals and Buccaneers. 

The Giants announced that Cruz had arthroscopic surgery on Thursday. He was injured on Sunday in the third quarter of the Giants' 23-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. He jumped to catch a pass and landed hard on his head. After he walked off the field, the Giants said he sustained a concussion and injured his knee.

Working for Bush has its perks. Newly filed records with the Office of Government Ethics show that in 2005, the Kennedy Center comped four tickets worth $8,000 to Bolten, including admission to the Kennedy Center Honors, while Rove received a $500 ticket to a spring gala. That wasn’t Rove’s only gift. Katherine Armstrong, owner of the Texas ranch where Dick Cheney accidentally shot a man in February, chipped in with Bush adviser Mark McKinnon and nine others to buy Rove a $2,073 gun–a Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon II 20-gauge hunting shotgun –while Nancy Reagan gave him a $411 collectible box with silver coins and the late president Ronald Reagan’s signature....

Heitkamp served as a U.S. senator from North Dakota from 2013 to 2019. She made a March 19 appearance on an episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, where the topic of Carano’s firing from Disney show The Mandalorian was raised. On the topic of cancel culture, the host mused: “I don’t want to talk about cancel culture and this nonsense every week, but I just don’t think people understand how much this is a tsunami, and how fast the goalposts change, almost on a weekly basis....

Also included in the bill, known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), is a last-minute provision that, if adopted in its current form, would shield spouses of members of the U.S. Supreme Court from having to reveal any information about themselves in the name of national security. Intended to protect judges from violence following a number of threats and highly publicized protests outside of Supreme Court justices’ homes in recent months, the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2022 would essentially forbid the unauthorized disclosure of a judge or their family members’ home addresses, phone numbers, license plate details, or any information about next of kin’s workplaces, schools and daycares, and similar data....

For now, the highly-rated 18-year-old is very much focused on the present and coming back from a latest injury. He’ll want to be fit again for the second half of Borussia Dortmund’s Bundesliga season and the U.S. national team’s push to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. It is, however, expected that there will come a time when his next career move will need to be made, with Reyna’s obvious potential already being noted by leading sides across Europe....

M-League organiser Football Malaysia LLP (FMLLP) will be investigating the first leg FA Cup quarter-final match between Pahang and Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT), which was held at the Darulmakmur Stadium. According to a brief statement by FMLLP on Sunday, hosts Pahang turned away the visiting fans and failed to play the Johor state anthem just before the match. A Twitter post by Johor fans who were denied entry into the Darulmakmur, despite having tickets...

Hector Cuper’s men sealed their place in next year’s Fifa World Cup in Russia after a 2-1 victory over Congo on October 8. They ended their qualification campaign as Group E leaders with 13 points from six games. However, Elneny disclosed that the Pharaohs learnt from their predecessors’ mistakes to ensure they grab a ticket to the showpiece. “In Egypt, football affects so many people. We are told all the time that relationship between the people and football affects the economy and overall mood....

Transfer news: The latest from the top teams Often the problem is exactly that - we try to do to much. When losing patience and running out of ideas, it’s easy to be tempted to introduce wacky formations and unorthodox instructions in an attempt to stumble across the magic formula. While these setups can work for a game or two, they rarely hold up over the longer term. So consider this guide a reference for anyone finding themselves on the verge of the virtual sack or simply looking for some guidance as they embark on another adventure....

A few hours before the untimely death of Kobe Bryant, I was scarfing down steak and eggs in a local diner. Between massive, unhealthy bites of brunch, my waiter noticed the Jordan 10s I was wearing, and we struck up conversation. A former Knicks fan, the waiter came clean with a confession: he had long ago given up on the Knicks because of two factors. One was the dominance of Michael Jordan over the ’90s Knicks teams....

The good news for Wentz: Not many mobile quarterbacks in the last decade or so have even torn their ACLs. If nothing else, it challenges the conventional wisdom that quarterbacks who like to leave the pocket, turn upfield and run are more susceptible to major injury (often a convenient excuse for teams to refuse to commit to them). The list of traditional, pocket quarterbacks who have suffered that injury in the last dozen years is notably longer … and includes Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, Joe Flacco and multiple ACL patients Sam Bradford and Carson Palmer....

Most problematic for the host Packers, though, is that Eli Manning will be there. That’s a bad omen for the Packers. It’s a much better omen for the Giants. It isn’t so much that the Giants have won the past two playoff games in Green Bay, and that the Giants were Cinderellas both times, and that the Giants went on to win the Super Bowl each time. Or even that Manning is the only remaining major figure from the first meeting in 2008, and one of just a handful from 2012....

But that wasn’t the only bit of superstition McCain observed heading into Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary. Along with the nickel, McCain carried his lucky compass and a lucky penny. (His lucky feather and his lucky rabbit’s foot are back in Arizona–or so he tells his staff.) On Monday, McCain’s wife, Cindy, wore purple–her lucky color. And the couple has been staying in the same room in the same hotel they stayed in when McCain won the state’s primary back in 2000....

The business magazine’s annual list, compiled in partnership with market research firm Statista, is based on surveys conducted among 150,000 full-time and part-time employees in 58 countries working for businesses with global operations. Participants in the surveys, which were conducted anonymously, were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their employers to family and friends. The workers were also asked to evaluate other companies in their respective industries that stood out to them either positively or negatively....

Before 9/11, and before Iraq, there was an inexperienced Texas governor who won the presidency — after a few legal hitches — on a relatively simple pledge: to restore honor and integrity to the Oval Office. In late 2000, President-elect Bush and his team in Austin, Texas, saw themselves as something of a restoration. Not the restoration of the father’s presidency, given the fraught relationship between 41 and his eldest son....
