Is Nick Swisher The New Jeremy Shockey?

With football season starting and baseball season about to climax I have noticed a lot of similarities between The Yankees right fielder Nick Swisher and the Saints tight end Jeremy Shockey. Not so much the Jeremy Shockey of today but definitely the flamboyant Shockey of 2005.

NFL Season Is Here, Which Means My Boyfriend Isn’t

NFL Season Is Here, Which Means My Boyfriend Isn’t

By Jane Kupershteyn -- September 11th for most is a time for remembrance, fortitude, and mourning. I am not that different, for I too will mourn that day but for a different reason. It is the day before football season begins. It is also the day I will lose my boyfriend. This however is no ominous prediction or eerie coincidence. This is a combination that is as sure as peanut butter and jelly, cowboy hats and tractors, Penn and Teller. Where there is one, there shall be the other. At the start of September the 12th, myself and many many like me will lose our boyfriends for four months and a week to countless man-hours (and by man-hours, I mean bro-hours) of full on dude-i-ness.

Collusion Alert: Is Kevin Mawae Being Blacklisted?

By Mark C. Rinaldi -- As several Jets fans know Kevin Mawae has been one of the best centers in the NFL for well over a decade now. Mawae came into the league as a right guard out of LSU for the Seattle Seahawks in 1994 an he is inexcusably unemployed. The man is an eight time pro bowler and he has worn the C for each of the three franchises he played for. Offensive linemen are always in need, especially when they are future hall of famers who have been in all star with each one of their three teams. Alan Fanaca got cut by the Jets and he was quickly picked up by Arizona just days after and there are still teams that need offensive line help. Both the Giants and Raiders could be desperate.

Remember Him? – Tiki Barber Hires PR Agency

Great find by good friend of The Digest and Huffington Post employee Michael Klopman: One of the most smug athletes to ever represent the great city of New York, Tiki Barber, has hired a public relations agency as he tries desperately to repair his tattered public image. For all those who may have forgotten, the former New York Giant did the same thing to his wife that he did to his former football team: quit. The only difference is, the Giants weren’t eight months pregnant at the time. Barber’s wife, Ginny Cha, was eight months into her pregnancy when Barber left her for NBC intern Tracy Lynn Johnson.

Tom Coughlin Wants More Effort From Giants

By Anthony Strait -- Giants head coach Tom Coughlin was less than please with the Giants performance against Baltimore and with the season opener in two weeks he is sounding off. For the second straight week the Giants were soundly beaten and it’s been the team’s execution and intensity that has been caused for concerned. Coughlin is even more displeased with the lack of effort. “I expected more, you know, I did,” Coughlin said. “I can give you page after page about effort, but what I am going to say is there is effort, and then, there is the kind of intensity a guy brings to the table when you are playing the game to solidify your team, your circumstance and your individual position.”

Shawn Andrews Considers Giants More Of A Family Than His Actual Family

Shawn Andrews, the former Pro-Bowler and newest addition to the New York Giants roster, is apparently loving both his new team and the atmosphere surrounding them. To quote the man directly: "I have to say it feels much more of a family atmosphere than what I'm used to in the past. Just starting with that in the locker room and then running out there, it's an unbelievable feeling."
