But they are using Goldman Sachs to help them investigate a sale. ``They're not certain they are even sellers,'' New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch said, adding that he expected a decision by the end of the season. ``We can't speculate on potential owners because they have not brought up any names to put before ownership.''

Russell put forth another useless performance in Sunday's 44-7 shellacking by the New York Giants at the Meadowlands, throwing for just 100 yards on 8-of-13 passing for a season-high 85.4 quarterback rating. Russell, who hasn't tossed a touchdown pass since Week 1, was also sacked six times on Sunday and has been taken down 15 times in 2009. He |

The last four games have been decided in the closing minutes, with two decided on the last play. Taking the New York Giants and Denver Broncos down to the wire was one thing. But having also done so against the Carolina Panthers and then, knowing they needed a breakout game, letting it happen against the Chiefs raises more eyebrows. ``I won't deny that we want to go ou |

VERBOORT, Ore. (AP) -Larry Jansen, the winning pitcher for the New York Giants in the 1951 playoff game decided by Bobby Thomson's ``Shot Heard 'Round the World,'' has died. He was 89. The San Francisco Giants said Jansen died at his home in Oregon on Saturday. Jansen spent nine years in the major leagues, making his biggest mark with the Giants during their pennant-winning season. He won 23 games in 1951, including one of the biggest in team - and baseball - history. Jansen, in relief of Sal Maglie, |

This week, the Cardinals go to Seattle (2-3), where they've won twice since the teams became division rivals in 2002. Then the Cardinals visit the New York Giants (5-0), come home to play the Carolina Panthers (1-3) and visit the Chicago Bears (3-1). The Cardinals' 28-21 victory over Houston on Sunday provided a snapshot of what's good and bad about them. On the plus side, the passing attack remains poten |
