Giants instructed to show 'courtesy and respect'

Here's a statement from Giants top PR man Pat Hanlon in regards to players showing up at the team's facility on Tuesday, one day after the NFL lockout was lifted by Judge Susan Nelson.

“In light of last night’s ruling by Judge Nelson, we were directed by the league that if our players showed up at the Timex Performance Center today to treat them with courtesy and respect. That message, which sounds a lot like how we always treat our players, was reinforced to our staff by our ownership. As of now, three Giants players (Mario Manningham, Chris Canty and Brandon Jacobs) have shown up at Timex today, a number that is understandable given that we are all awaiting further rulings from the court and both the league and the NFLPA have indicated we need time to sort out the meaning of the current status of the litigation.”
