Giants announce signing of Safety Jeromy Miles by Michael Eisen (Giants.com)
"Miles, who turns 28 next week, has played in 67 regular-season games with three starts and played in four postseason games. His career regular-season totals include 41 tackles (27 solo), an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery, plus 45 special teams tackles. In the postseason, Miles has three tackles (two solo) and two special teams tackles."
Odell Beckham Jr.’s catch resonates, deserves to endure by Dan Graziano (ESPN)
"Whatever. Backlash has become too great a part of our sports culture. The fact is that Beckham’s catch represents a major reason why sports has always captured our attention. It’s not necessary to root for a team or bet on the game to enjoy sports. The most basic and natural reason to watch sports is to watch human beings stretch the limits of what human beings can do. Beckham’s play delivered that at every level."
Joel McHale jokes about Pierre-Paul fireworks incident at ESPYs by Curtis Crabtree (Pro Football Talk, NBC Sports)
"According to Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News, McHale announced that Pierre-Paul was in attendance for the event held in Los Angeles. The camera then panned to a shot of a lone finger wearing a Super Bowl ring sitting on a mini-pillow on an auditorium seat."
Deadline passes without long-term deal for Giants’ Jason Pierre-Paul by Dan Graziano (ESPN)
"He is not planning to sign that tender until he’s sure he can pass the team’s physical, at which point they couldn’t put him on NFI because he would no longer be injured. Pierre-Paul does not want to be put on NFI because that would mean the team would not have to pay him for games he misses. If he were on NFI at the start of the season, he’d have to miss at least the first six games."
