The rumored retirement of special teams coordinator Mike Sweatman is true -- he stepped down after 23 seasons in the NFL, 12 with the Giants. The team will announce it tomorrow.
Tom Quinn, Sweatman's assistant last season, will take over as special teams coach.
A couple of teams players said at the end of the season that Sweatman, a military man whose fire and intensity outshone TC's in 2004 and 2005, lost some of that fire last season, and the unit suffered, especially on kick returns and kick coverage.
That should be about all for Giants news... I'm here in Miami and we're trying to get a Super Bowl blog together. Celebrity sightings, unusual stuff; I wanted to blog at the NFC Championship game about my Ric Flair sighting (he's a lot shorter than I thought), but the moment passed.

Its suprising the Giants have an assistant special teams coach ! And how old is Quinn ? 57 ? 58 ?
No offense to our senior citizens but, cant the Giants find coaches in the same time warp as the players ?
