New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman and assitant general manager Kevin Abrams had a press conference on Tuesday.

Via the Giants website: We had them in here and it was an old school free agency.

There are those who make enormous profits, both monetarily and socially, by perpetuating the friction caused by America’s racist past, in contrast to Martin Luther King Jr.’s hope of a color-blind society.

Biden’s Mideast drawdown poses perils Vice Adm. John W. Miller (ret.) 7 hours ago The setting sun silhouettes a Sikorsky UH-53 helicopter preparing to lift off from Camp Bastion in Helmand province, Afghanistan. The Biden administration is making a critical mistake by moving vital military assets away from the Middle East. Drawing down America’s posture in the Middle East sends the wrong message as the administration simultaneously pursues nuclear negotiations with Iran, the region’s most dangerous aggressor.
