The Eagles-Giants Rivalry Just Got a Little Nasty

"Ring the bell.

One of the latest revelations from the antitrust case brought by a group of players against the NFL was that the New York Giants did not renegotiate standout defensive end Osi Umenyiora's contract despite a supposed verbal promise from GM Jerry Reese. Apparently this proves the players have suffered "irreparable harm" as a result of the league's labor strife, as one reason an extension did not occur was likely due to the many unknowns during the uncapped year.

Yet another reason could be because he missed all of 2008 with an ACL tear, and was benched for part of '09 as he struggled to recover his burst—but apparently that's not relevant. Something about the information in Umenyiora's upcoming affidavit clearly rubbed Eagles' RB LeSean McCoy the wrong way though, because he felt compelled to respond to the news via Twitter."
