| Show them the Gap Mike! | | Michael Strahan has retired.He was one of the greats and has a great personality. He was a key to the big change last year in the Coach's new approach. And as a player, I guess there are many QB's are breathing a little easier now that they don't have to worry about #92.I am happy that I got to see him play this long. I wish him every happiness. But I am sad for us Giants fans. So Show them the gap Mike! | |

| Giants hold players-only meeting in wake of Tennessee meltdown | | EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- With their season unraveling after an embarrassing fourth-quarter meltdown against Tennessee, the Giants held a players-only meeting Monday. An attempt to regroup before their NFC East showdown with Dallas this weekend, the 15- to 20-minute meeting was described by center Shaun O'Hara as "a little extra time among friends." It took place after coach Tom Coughlin spoke to the team about having its heart cut out in a 24-21 loss in which the Titans scored all their points in the final 9:35. ADVERTISEMENT
"It was an upbeat meeting," said O'Hara, who refused to give specifics. "It was a good meeting. It was just what we needed." About a half-dozen players spoke, linebacker Antonio Pierce said. "If you were a rookie, you've never lost a game like this before," Pierce said. "But it wasn't geared for just the rookies. It was geared for veterans and everybody." A number of players asked Coughlin for permission to talk among themselves and the coach obliged after the worst fourth-quarter collapse in the team's 86-year history. The loss was the third straight for New York (6-5), which dropped it a game behind the Cowboys... | |

| | Bucs place DE Rice on injured reserve | |
Simeon Rice will not suit up for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers again this season. The Buccaneers placed the veteran defensive end on injured reserve Wednesday because of a nagging shoulder injury. Rice had 21 tackles, two sacks, a team-best four forced fumbles and one pass defensed in eight starts this season. He had been deactivated for Tampa's last two contests.
Rice never had missed more than one game in a season. The Buccaneers are not expected to make a related move prior to Thursday's game in Dallas. A three-time Pro Bowler, Rice has 121 career sacks. Only the New York Giants' Michael Strahan (132.5) has more among active players. | |
