Good morning, New York Giants fans. So much good stuff to read -- and write -- about, and only 24 hours in the day.

"I think Jerry Reese and Mark Ross in our scouting department do a great job of identifying Giant defensive-minded football players," [Perry] Fewell said. "And that came long before I came here. They've always had a good talent for doing that. The one thing that I can really talk about is pride, and 'Giant Pride.' When you step into the Giant defensive meeting room -- they make you write an essay about what it's like to be a New York Giant. And why do you want to be a New York Giant defensive football player."

"We’re so privileged to have him [Tom Brady] as our quarterback and our team leader," Kraft said. "I think he’s the best quarterback, at least in modern times, and we’re privileged to have him on our team.
