Good morning, New York Giants fans!
The New York Giants have a Super Bowl winner and possible Hall of Famer at head coach in John Harbaugh, with whom the entire team can strive for a championship standard the franchise has failed to meet for far too long now.

Dart introduced President Donald Trump on stage at a rally for New York Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, to which Carter responded on social media: “Thought this shit was AI, what we doing man?”
While Carter followed up and clarified that he and Dart are on good terms after speaking with each other on the issue, that dust-up grew legs and raised questions about whether a political...
