Barnwell ESPN: NFL's best, worst in the red zone, and what it means for 2016
"Strangely, the team atop that list on defense is ... the Giants, who were the polar opposites of their offense. Eli Manning and company were good around the field and terrible in the red zone. Steve Spagnuolo's defense was pretty bad in most spots and much better defending their goal line. They ranked 29th in points allowed per possession and 13th in points allowed per red zone trip."

Someone should tell Gary Meyers that a 400% raise is 5 times something  
robbieballs2003 : 7/30/2016 8:51 am : link
If you get a 100% raise that means you double your salary. So, Fitzpatrick got a 300% raise. His salary was quadrupled but the raise part was tripled. His raise was $9 million because he went from $3 to $12 million.
That is a nice story on Nicks.

Robbie, you might not believe this or perhaps remember,  
Big Blue '56 : 7/30/2016 9:18 am : link
but there was a time Myers and Peter King were really top notch, imo..At least before "today's" style of reporting ruled the day. Now it's throw everything out there and see what sticks..

Otoh, guys like Steve Serby were NEVER any good, imv
