Tynes gets five-year deal: The New York Daily News cites an NFL source that Giants PK Lawrence Tynes will receive a five-year, $7 million contract extension, keeping him off the free-agent market. Tynes hit 23-of-27 field goals for the Giants in 2007, missing two of his 42 extra-point attempts. He did not attempt a field goal from 50-plus yards. Tynes also hit a 47-yard field goal in overtime at Green Bay in the NFC Championship (after missing two previous kicks) to propel the Giants in Super Bowl XLII, which they won. (Updated 02/12/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Tynes wasn't a great Fantasy kicker because his opportunities weren't plentiful. With his leg still considered iffy, expect him to be off of Fantasy rosters in 2008 drafts outside of the Tri-State area, where die-hard Giants fans might not be able to help themselves. (Updated 02/12/2008).

The Giants went from an 0-2 start and loads of criticism to winning Super Bowl XLII over the New England Patriots. How did they do it, and what does the future have in store? Dave Richard explains how this team is built well for the coming season.
The concept would have been laughable 24 hours before kickoff. But now that the Giants somehow are Super Bowl champs, Gregg Doyel says that concept now needs to be taken seriously: These Giants have the makings of a dynasty.
OK, so I'm here. Kickoff's not for another 4½ hours, but that's not the point. I'm here. At University of Phoenix Stadium. Site of Super Bowl XLII.
The Giants are going to get killed and superfan Larry Dobrow must prepare for psychological damage. Let's hope he doesn't 'overgeneralize' or use his 'emotional reasoning.' Because, who knows, he could be in for a 'mental filter' overload.
