New York Giants

Well, the New York Giants are certainly more entertaining than they were last season, but that hasn't translated into a win, yet. Following a dizzying fourth quarter and four straight failed drives in overtime, a Russell Wilson interception gifted the Dallas Cowboys one more possession late in the extra frame, ultimately setting up Brandon Aubrey's 46-yard game-winning field goal to lift Big Blue's NFC East rival to a 40-37 victory on Sunday afternoon at AT&T Stadium.

He embraced it. He even encouraged it. " Thank you, Jerry! " the crowd at Lambeau Field yelled repeatedly Thursday night after the Green Bay Packers' 27-18 win over the Washington Commanders. The chant was addressed toward someone who was not there - Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, who traded the 26-year-old star linebacker to Green Bay one week before the start of the season after a lengthy contract dispute.

A notice from Congregation Shaare Zion in Gravesend obtained by The Post warns that the election's outcome could pose "serious problems" throughout the city and left the synagogue "no choice" but to require proof of voter registration for tickets to Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur services. Mamdani isn't directly mentioned in the announcement, but a source with the Orthodox synagogue said the move was directed at the Democratic mayoral nominee.

You see the explosiveness obviously rushing the passer, Bowen said on Thursday ahead of the Giants' season opener on Sunday against the Commanders down in Landover. He's a really good athlete, too. He can bend, the flexibility, everything that comes with it, which we've all seen from Penn State. Drafted No. 3 overall, Carter was considered by many to be the best overall athlete available and one who can turn a game on its head in an instant.

There's a whole other subset of guys who are making the leap. And I would say Quan Martin is one for me, that I have [as a standout]. I already had high expectations for him. But then to see the type of camp that he had, the work he's put in. I feel like he's one player that I think is really about to go big.

There are not many political insiders like former Governor Andrew Cuomo's long-time friend and election lawyer Martin Connor who are still active in the tumult of New York City politics. At 80, Connor, the former state senate minority leader, has been battling over ballot access for at least 54 years. The breadth of his experience makes him a specialized resource within the city's small bar of election lawyers.

In what has become his style, New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll offered zero insight into how his team's depth chart will shake out for Sunday's season opener on the road against the Commanders. We have a good idea how we're going to play, Daboll said. That will all come out on Sunday. Well, at least he has a plan, because from the outside, the Giants seem to be in flux.

New York is a very different city from when Mayor Ed Koch was faced with upwards of 100,000 properties having been foreclosed on for property tax arrears but current rates of delinquency are on the rise. Multifamily owners are squeezed by limitations on rent increases baked into the 2019 Housing Stability and Protection Act, rising interest rates, and costs for insurance, among other things.

1929 - Joe Cronin of the Washington Senators hit for the cycle in a 10-7 win against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. 1937 - For the second time this season, two batters opened a game with home runs. Boze Berger and Mike Kreevich of the Chicago White Sox connected off Boston's Johnny Marcum, en route to a 4-2 win over the Red Sox.

Advocates for New York City retirees are preparing to rally at City Hall on Tuesday to push for a local law that would preserve the healthcare they and their families depend on. The rally is part of ongoing efforts to stop Mayor Eric Adams' attempts to switch the city's quarter-million retired municipal workers to a private Medicare Advantage plan. What makes this protest interesting is that it will occur a day after Adams' 65th birthday, Sept. 1.

But when New York shockingly won the Super Bowl in 2007 against the then-undefeated New England Patriots, Singh became a hardcore fan. He attended his first game a few years later at the old Giants Stadium, just before it closed, and has been a season-ticket holder since 2021. He even dons a Giants-themed Turban, which he's received an abundance of support for, he said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers could be without starting left tackle Ickey Ekwonu for their opener after an emergency appendectomy on Sunday. Coach Dave Canales said Wednesday the status of the sixth pick of the 2022 draft is day-to-day, and likely will be up until the Sept. 7 game at Jacksonville. "We've seen these things turn around in a little over a week,'' Canales said. "It can be longer. It just depends on each individual's body, on how you respond to the surgery, how your body heals the right way.

Throughout the offseason, there have been questions about the Patriots' quarterback room behind Drake Maye for various reasons. Some analysts and fans were intrigued by the addition of veteran Joshua Dobbs, while others weren't sure about the value he brought to the roster or Maye's development. The same could be said about Ben Wooldridge, but he was released not long after his lackluster performance against the Giants last week in the preseason finale.

Now that McLaurin's contract dispute with the Commanders has ended, let's get to the important part: What kind of performance can we expect from McLaurin over the course of that three-year, $96 million extension? Because whatever disagreements existed between the bedrock of the franchise and the franchise itself, surely an element of it was this: How productive can an NFL wide receiver be when he's 31, 32 or 33?

Morning Sports Update "We'll figure that out." Mike Vrabel is not a fan of media leaks: Following his team's final preseason game (a loss to the Giants), Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel was in a somewhat feisty mood. Having already sparred with Patriots announcer Scott Zolak prior to the game about a Thursday report that wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk would have season-ending surgery on his shoulder, Vrabel was asked about it again following the 42-10 defeat in New York.

The Patriots had made just two Super Bowl appearances, losing in both and by an average of 25 points before Brady became the quarterback.
