What a beautiful gesture on the part of the New York Giants...may God continue to bless this team and hold them in the palm of His hand.

I agree-They all have big hearts!!

This kind of activity has no place in an NFL football game.

It wasnt during the game jackyl.

it is easier to label others as being disingenuous, that you do not even know, than to be honest with yourself and others.

Please people don't engage with Clyde.. No matter what he thinks. He seems to be the only person not effected by this tragic event.. The Giants alway's show class and this was again another GOOD PLAY for them... Happy New Year!! Lets hope 2013 brings us less tragic and more love..

I guess Clyde never went to a NASCAR event. They actually have an invocation before every race! They also pay great homage to the American Military, and our very Country and Flag too!

I think Clyde should have a Website to tell Everyone how to react to All things . He seems to be such an Expert.

Clyde,
Do you have children or grandchildren?

Vaulting "survivors" onto the national stage at a professional sporting event isn't my idea of healthy mourning either, Clyde. But your critics seem to have a different concept of the meaning of life in a 24/7, wall-to-wall media coverage, cyber world. We are all being constantly marketed to, and everything has become a consumer "good", even tragedies. It is said, "A crisis is a terrible thing to waste." What's next?

Monk - My TV, and computer came with an OFF button!

Class act Giants. Most of the players have young children and felt the pain like most of the country and world. I didn't see one phony thing out there. The organization does not need this as a publicity stunt.

The organization and the Mara family have always given to the community at large. Victor Cruz's visit to Jack Pinto's family, the visibility of players like Justin Tuck, Eli and Osi Umenyora at countless functions is emblematic of an organization that truly considers themselves and their fans as an extended family (as Wellington Mara stated on numerous occasions). Blue has always been a class organization. And kudos to the Eagle players for their participation in the pre-game events.

Clyde, So sad for you. How is it that you are embarrased by others show of emotions? Are you so unloved and bitter with the world that you cannot see any good? Oh well, your loss for sure. AND Monk, following Clyde or are seriously as hardened as he apprears to be? Life is short and it seems the two of you are just short of brians and heart.

Clyde, I am so thankful there are people like you in the world. When I read your posts I realize there are folks out there like yourself that are so troubled and beg for so much attention that in comparison I start to feel really good about myself. Thanks for the little boost of self esteem just before the New Year!!!

Before Sandy and the Newtown tragedy, Giants players were involving themselves in local causes. It's a good thing. Some may question motives, but as the song lyric states: "we're all in this together.."

Hello, This is not about football and media play whatsoever. It is all about trying like heck to make those remaining children and the parents feel the compassion from some source that they care about. Kids think athletics are heros. There is no place for the Newtown population to go or to hide from the tragedy so any show of love, compassion and care is huge.

The pack mentality on here is truly amusing. While I don't necessarily agree with Clyde, I can see his points have some merit (does anyone really believe the NFL isn't trying to increase its ratings and bottom line here?).

However, I think that doing anything we can for the families in Newtown Connecticut is the right thing to do, regardless of motive. Therefore I am glad the Giants did this. If any of the families are Patriots fans, I hope the Patriots do something nice too. Given the location of Newtown, I'm not surprised there are many Giants fans there.

Clyde- wrong way to make your point & wrong audience.
The rest of you who piled on him - pack of wolves.

No pack mentality here, but - on the "out-marketing" subject - how many people even knew about the events before tuning in? Season ticket holder here, and the only way I knew was from a season ticket-holder email i got a few days prior. Were the events really that highly publicized??

Does anyone have an interior life anymore? Must it all be on public display? Talk about exploitation .... Whatever became of modesty, humility or just plain decorum? This feeds the megalomaniacs among us. It's not necessary, and it's not good. But if you feel better about yourself over this, I guess that's your score. I'm so happy for you. Mark my generous empathy.

But it's not about you.

Tom Coughlin said that the Giants players were very emotionally affected by the shootings since it took place in the NY area, and many of them have children the same age as the victims. I believe him.

I cannot believe that anyone can see negativity in this gesture from a football team. My heart and prayers go out to all the families of Newtown as well as anyone else who has experienced such a tragedy in their lives. For all the heartless people in this world, there are still many thoughtful and caring people too. May 2013 be a more peaceful year to all.

I get the concept of people exploiting tragedy (as in every dirtbag media outlet on the earth). You cannot replace what has been lost, but what an AWESOME gesture on the part of the Giants.

The NFL is a symbol of America? What?
a bunch of overpaid uneducated BABIES is a symbol of america???

OK. OK. I concede. Let's all have a good cry. There. Feel better (about yourself) now? In the meantime, our reality-television-world says you're only as important as you are famous. Let's just keep reinforcing that for all of the megalomaniacs out there. This has nothing to do with mourning or healing. It's just insincere, commercial sympathy. New program idea: "Are you grieving more than a fifth grader?" Why don't we leave these people alone (with their clergy) to heal in a normal, private, healthy way?

Monk, Did you get cut? Did that guy from the football team steal your girl? Get over it, some of us have it and clearly you don't. Did you make midnight? I doubt it!

Happy New Year, I bet you were you sleeping?

I absolutely loved the gesture.

Victor Cruz is a Hero on and off the field. He reached out bc of his heart - his Mom and Grandma taught him respect, not photo op. C'mon Victor, come take my daughter out for coffee - you are the kind of guy we would want for her! xoxo

Any way to stop the commercial SPAM comments?
