Good morning, New York Giants fans! Let's get your last week in June started with a look at the headlines.
Drone gets Giants in hot water with FAA
According to Bloomberg, the Giants had not received proper clearance from the Federal Aviation Administration when they used a drone to film a portion of practice during the team's recent mini-camp. The Dallas Cowboys and New England Patriots also face similar complaints.
Per Bloomberg, the FAA says a waiver is required to fly a drone for commercial use. It sounds as though the FAA will reach out to teams to explain the procedure rather than do anything punitive, but we'll see.
Agent: Giants will pay Eli Manning
Tom Condon, agent for Giants quarterback Eli Manning, is confident that the Giants will eventually reach a new long-term deal with his client:
"The quarterbacks always get done," Condon said. "And the Giants are not a skittish team. So it’s not one of those things where they get nervous or they jump around or anything like that. You know you’re going to go in and it’s going to get done. I’m sure at the appropriate time it’ll happen."
Manning, of course, is in the final year of his contract.

This is a good thing, but here is my question. Why did it take a study from the University of Buffalo to get the league to look seriously at this?
Will Deflategate sway Hall of Fame voters when considering Tom Brady? - More Sports - SI.com
Pro Football Hall of Fame voters don't seem to think Deflategate will have any bearing on Tom Brady being a Hall of Famer.
Peterson sounded incredulous that the question was even asked. Considering what happened with him over the past year, perhaps a little humility is in order.
