Title: Giants In-season Report

[smiley=injury.gif] - This kind of came out of nowhere... From "The REAL Feed":

Burress listed as questionable for Sunday (http://www.sportsnetwork.com/default.asp?c=sportsnetwork&page=nfl/news/ABN3985566.htm)

Burress appears to be banged up a bit.

excerpt:
REAL PAIN: WR Plaxico Burress' back was fine after Sunday's game, but he apparently suffered an injury to his right shoulder. He was in and out of the lineup in the final few minutes - a main reason why Eli Manning was throwing so often to Amani Toomer. Coughlin said Burress was "sore" yesterday and was undergoing medical tests.

A couple of great headlines from off "The REAL Feed (http://www.fantasyfootballer.com/newsstand.htm)" regarding the recent passing of Wellington Mara:

Giant Influence in Pro Football (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/25/AR2005102500642.html)
Washington Post: Sports (26.10.2005 07:33)
Giants owner Wellington Mara died Tuesday at 89.

Wellington saw it all in NFL (http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/giants/ny-spjohn264484941oct26,0,147289.story?coll=ny-giants-print&track=rss)
Newsday.com: New York Giants (26.10.2005 04:30)
John Jeansonne covered the Giants for Newsday from 1973 through 1978, when consistently bad teams seriously eroded fans' appreciation of Wellington Mara.

Here's another good LOCAL one (from my hometown area, actually) from off "the Gridiron Newsstand":

Another good one reminiscing about Mara from off "The REAL Feed" I thought I'd share with yous:

Update on Shockey from a LOCAL source on "The REAL Feed":

No Shock, Jeremy to play (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/story/380250p-322883c.html)
New York Daily News: Sports - Football (05.01.2006 06:34)
Jeremy Shockey wasn't available to the Giants against Oakland last week. The helplessness that came with sitting out while his teammates tried to secure the NFC East title and a home game in the playoffs made him more miserable than his high ankle sprain.
