Week 16 Start/Sit Special Thursday Edition—Panthers/Steelers

In last week’s Thursday start/sit column, I complained about how these Thursday night games stink a majority of the time. Well, this matchup is even worse as we, the viewing public, are supposed to watch the wretched Carolina Panthers attempt to hang with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are looking for a bounce-back win. There are [...]

According to head coach Tom Coughlin, both of his starting wide receivers are expecting to play this Sunday versus the Minnesota Vikings.

The Giants keep getting good news this week as some of their injured players have returned to practice. O’Hara was able to do individual drills, Diehl worked a little with the first time line, and Smith ran routes on the scout team as well as caught passes in individual drills. Steve Smith is still a [...]

Start/Sit grades Alright, fans of the “Start These Guys, Sit Those Dudes” post, we’re going to do a post each week grading our picks. That’s right grading. No, not like middle school with A+’s and stuff like that. But, you could think of it that way if you want. Consider a ‘10’ to be an [...]
