The New York Giants will close out the preseason against the New York Jets next Saturday night at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It’s unlikely the Giants play many of their starters and if they do, it will only be for a series or two. And that’s good news for Big Blue because…
Former Pittsburgh Panthers safety and ESPN NFL analyst Louis Riddick went on The Rich Eisen Show, and unlike some of his colleagues, he isn’t high on the Pittsburgh Steelers this season.
