EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -A little less than two months after kicking off the season with the Manning Bowl, the New York Giants have another brotherly matchup: the Barber Bowl. Unlike the opener that pitted Peyton and Eli Manning in the first NFL game featuring brothers as the starting quarterbacks, Ronde and Tiki Barber will be meeting for the fifth time as pros when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-4) and Giants (4-2) play Sunday at Giants Stadium. While not as hyped as the Manning matchup, this game is |

Parcells benched Bledsoe at halftime Monday night against the New York Giants and turned to Romo, who'd been with the team since 2003 but hadn't thrown a pass until the previous game. The former Division I-AA player of the year was 14-of-25 for 227 yards and two touchdowns and ran for a 2-point conversion, but also threw th |

Then Parcells shook things up during Monday night's loss to the New York Giants when he benched quarterback Drew Bledsoe. Even though he threw three interceptions in one half against the Giants, Tony Romo will get his first career start against Carolina (4-3). ``We've got to try to alter a little something here,'' Parcells sa |

Bledsoe threw a critical interception near the goal line in a 36-22 loss to the New York Giants when the Cowboys (3-3) had a chance to take the lead in a game to determine first place in the NFC East. Bledsoe already had been sacked four times, once for a safety. Romo threw three interceptions, one on his first play and another returned 96 y |

| dy by the University of North Carolina, which reported 10 percent of retired NFL players say concussions have had a permanent effect on their ability to think and remember things as they've gotten older. Hall of Fame linebacker Harry Carson of the New York Giants is one of them. He estimates he had a dozen or more ``bell-ringers'' in his career, though he wasn't aware they were concussions. Carson said he has long had memory problems because of postconcussion syndrome. For others, it's even worse. Former |

Stallworth added five catches for 81 yards and one TD the following week in a loss to the New York Giants. But his impressive start was put on hold when he injured his hamstring two days before the Eagles played San Francisco on Sept. 24. Stallworth was a late scratch for that game, but tried to play against Green Bay the following Monday night. He ha |
