The last time the Giants opened their season with a Monday night home game was 25 years ago. Then, as now, the Giants lost. The Giants hope the similarity of starting 0-1 is where the comparison ends. Back in 1995, Dan Reeves predicted the arrival of the Cowboys at Giants Stadium would prove the gap …

Not good enough. Those might be the only three words needed to describe what the Giants were all about as they opened their season Monday night in Joe Judge’s head coaching debut. They led early and at times did enough smart things on both sides of the ball to irritate the Steelers. There were no …

This is only a first Judgment Day for Joe Judge. Let us not forget that Bill Parcells lost his home opener and Ray Handley won his. Judge has a five-year contract and an ownership starving for stability and continuity — and he will coach here for a long time, starting Monday night against the Steelers …

It is going to take all of them. Every single one. Man-for-man, the Giants do not stack up. Not Monday night in the season opener against the Steelers at empty MetLife Stadium. Probably not the next week in Chicago, or the next week when the 49ers come to town or the next week in Los …

New year, same old issue for the Giants? The offense did not have its full stable of weapons for a single play last season and might not again Monday against the Steelers because wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) was listed as questionable on the final injury report. Sterling Shepard, Evan Engram, Darius Slayton and Saquon …

After witnessing 12,500 cases as the bailiff to TV’s Judge Judy, one in particular stands out for Petri Hawkins Byrd — one in a Manhattan courtroom 33 years ago. Byrd, then a real-life court officer working in family court shortly before Christmas, observed arguments over a 9-year-old boy named Harry, who tried to steal a …

They were 84-59, cruising to a division title and looking every bit the champion of the two previous years. Then the 2000 Yankees forgot how to win. For three weeks, they were the majors’ worst team. No hyperbole — the worst team. They closed at 3-15 and were outscored by 89 runs (the average game …

The reeling Yankees could get two vital bats back in their lineup by next weekend, with Aaron Boone saying both Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) and Aaron Judge (calf) could be getting at-bats at the team’s alternate site in Scranton in the next few days. If that happens, Boone said “there’s a good chance” the pair could …

On the day he was introduced as the head coach of the New York Football Giants, Joe Judge vowed he would deliver a team that would punch the opponent in the nose for 60 minutes. Four days from facing the rough and tough Steelers, four days from opening night, four days from the fulfillment of …

When you venture away from the building and into the rank and file of the NFL, the expectations about the Giants are low. Really low. Like, really, really low. There are widespread guesstimates that the Giants are a bad team. Young, yes. Improving, perhaps. On the right path, maybe. But at the moment, bad. Looking …
