    This is a great piece!! I am the host of a year-round NFL show on CBS Sports Radio out of Danbury/Brookfield - CT called GameFace. Like us on facebook.com/GameFaceRadio, please. Emphasis of our show is the G-MEN and this article - as we spotlight the national media's love affair w/ the Dallas Cowboys, Romo and Michael Vick. And they usually ignore or downgrade the Giants and we see it all - and spotlight it all every Sunday. 9 Eastern. Giants fans...come on board. 940SportsRadio.com

    Ben,

    Hey, first I just wanted to say congrats on being one of the most recent F/C's for the Giants now and keep up the great work.

    Second, I just wanted to let you know I referenced your story of the free agents and Dwight Freeney in my latest story, just wanted to let you know I gave you credit and props for it.

    Hey, Ben, it's Rich from down the hall. Hope you're as opposed to the dropping of wrestling from the Olympics as I am! (Let's talk later about this outrage!)
