Jake Ballard left the Super Bowl with what he thought was a torn meniscus. It turned out he tore his ACL, which means he'll likely miss the first part of next season.
"Everyone was telling me meniscus and then the MRI and the doc came in with a look on his face and I just knew it wasn't my meniscus," Ballard said Thursday at a memorabilia signing at Steiner Sports in New Rochelle....

All quiet on Indy front
Greetings! I hope everyone enjoyed the parade and the City Hall ceremony. I heard Mayor Bloomberg pronounced Bob Papa’s name right this time, so that’s good.
Me? I’m still in Indianapolis, waiting to close the door behind me and turn out the lights as the last New York sportswriter still in town.
The day or two after a Super Bowl in a host city always is kind of depressing, like the...

I thought for a moment it was going to be my fault. Luckily, I didn’t jinx anything. In fact, I might have saved the championship and served as a warning.
I wrote this blog post on Wednesday after talking with Giants assistant offensive line coach Jack Bicknell Jr. He was the center who snapped the ball to Doug Flutie at Boston College on the Hail Mary pass to Gerard Phelan and he was also...
Boothe almost was goat
If the Giants had not pulled out a victory in Super Bowl XLVI, guard Kevin Boothe would have been among the biggest culprits.
Two penalties - a hold of Vince Wilfork and a false start - both damaged Giants drives, and could have proven costly.
