When your last name is Manning and you throw the football, expectations are always high.  Peyton's Broncos are in Super Bowl or bust mode, while the Giants and Eli are trying to return to the playoffs after missing postseason action last year and in three of the last four years...

The Giants look for a return to the playoffs, the Cowboys look to have their star power come together, Chip Kelly has arrived in Philadelphia and the Redskins hope Robert Griffin III can stay healthy after major ACL knee surgery.  The NFC East should be as competitive as ever in 2013...

The Giants struggled last year and missed the playoffs and were a little banged up along the way, the most severe and impactful injuries to Hakeem Nicks (foot/knee).  But the Giants recently signed Victor Cruz long term, Nicks looks healthy, Eli Manning is in his prime, Tom Coughlin is still the head coach and the G-Men had a nice NFL Draft on paper...

The salsa dancing will continue for six more years.  Victor Cruz is staying with the New York Giants.

You can't spell ELITE without Eli.  Eli Manning has become an elite quarterback, the franchise guy for the New York Giants, a great 4th quarter QB and a two-time Super Bowl winner.  To win more titles, Manning needs his wide receiver weapons back long term, which the Giants are working on with Victor Cruz and most likely soon with Hakeem Nicks, who enters 2013 in the final year of his current cont

Victor Cruz recently signed his 2013 tender with the New York Giants but his future with the club remains cloudy.  Hakeem Nicks, his wide receiver counterpart, has one more year left on his deal but battled injuries (foot/knee) during the 2012 season where he was limited to 53 receptions for a career-low 692 yards...

LeBron James (now), Sidney Crosby, Albert Pujols (while with the Cardinals), baseball's Giants as a team, Derek Jeter through the years, Mariano Rivera, Eli Manning, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Mark Messier, Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, Henrik Lundqvist and plenty more.  You get the picture.  When these guys step-up, their teams win and advance.

Eli Manning threw for 3,948 yards in 2012, down nearly 1,000 from the previous year (4,933 in 2011).  Wide receiver injuries certainly played a part.  If Manning's core wideouts are back, namely Victor Cruz, and healthy, who knows how many yards Manning can throw for this coming season...

The 2013 NFL schedule has been released.  And now everyone can take a deep breath and be relieved.  Until the games start that is.  Here is a look at the Top 5 games to watch on the upcoming NFL calendar.

During the fallout from Super Bowl XLVII, a lot of the same topics continue to be rehashed and reworded by all of the "Monday Morning Quarterbacks" in the country. However, there's one topic Brian Noe believes everybody has been ignoring that is staring them right in the face: where Joe Flacco stands among the most "clutch" quarterbacks in the NFL...

We have finally reached the final week of the 2012-13 NFL Season, as we continue our countdown to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans. This game will continue to be broken down and analyzed with the same angles in mind: the Harbaugh brothers coaching against each other, the special skill-set of San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick and the pending retirement of Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis. Howeve

As he opened "The Noe Show" today, Brian Noe took issue with how some guys get a pass just because of their previous success, while others get hammered. The example he used was Ben Roethlisberger's awful interception in the opening possession of overtime against the Dallas Cowboys, and how Dallas quarterback Tony Romo would have been getting killed if he threw that pass...
