Tony Parker’s Heels

The New York Giants Toss Their Cookies

Flu season hit the New York Giants this weekend as they made their way to Arizona for that big, important football game on Sunday. You know, the one hardly anyone is talking about against that New England Patriots team that came out of nowhere.
