The Giants, though, are smarting from a 41-17 home pounding at the hands of the Minnesota Vikings over the weekend. Chicago is 32-20-2 all-time against the Giants and has won two straight and three of four against them. The clubs last met in 2006, with New York playing the role of the host.

Eli Manning will probably never take Pisarcik's dubious place in Giants' lore, though he sure came darn close to doing so with his utterly awful performance against the Minnesota Vikings this past Sunday. The remarkably inconsistent signal-caller threw four interceptions, three of which were returned for touchdowns, to help the Vikings send New York's season back into potential turmoil with an emphatic 41-17 beating in front of an u |

| Best E Casino) - "New York Groove" is a song performed by legendary Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley on his self-titled 1978 album. It also happens to be the ditty that the New York Giants used to play after they scored a touchdown at Giants Stadium. The Minnesota Vikings defense may just claim the song as their own. Two years ago in North Jersey, Vikings safety Darren Sharper picked off Eli Manning three times, returning one for a touchdown in a 24-21 Minnesota win. And, while it didn't count, the Vikings trashed th |

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -It takes a lot to get Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier riled up during the week. Frazier patterns himself after Tony Dungy, preferring an understated, calm demeanor to yelling and screaming all the time. Veteran safety Darren Sharper, however, knows just how to get Frazier going. ``During practice, whenever you get an interception in a drill, you have to run and take it all the way and score, no matter if you're 10 yards away or 100 yards away,'' Sharper s |
