Congratulations:Andrew Thomas agrees to massive $117 million contract extension with Giants It may seem like a long time ago but in actuality it was not. Andrew Thomas, who was chosen by the Giants with the fourth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, was not performing at a level comparable to that of a franchise left tackle less than three years ago. Thomas stated, "People did not think I deserved to be here, and I was not performing well." Things shift. Thomas will be here for the foreseeable future, specifically with the Giants. Thomas made his money before the Giants took the field on Wednesday for their first training camp practice. According to The Post, the 24-year-old sensational left tackle inked a five-year contract extension worth $117.5 million, which includes the largest guaranteed salary ever for an NFL offensive lineman—$67 million. The Giants took proactive measures to secure one of the best players at his position in the game, and this keeps Thomas under contract — amazingly — through the 2029 season. Regarding re-signing important players a year ahead of schedule, general manager Joe Schoen stated, "I believe in it." ...

Breaking:Brian Burns looking ahead to 2025 is a telling sign for feckless Giants

Breaking:Brian Burns looking ahead to 2025 is a telling sign for feckless Giants The New York Giants have six games remaining on their 2024 regular season schedule but some players are already looking ahead to next year. Following Sunday’s 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at MetLife Stadium, linebacker Brian Burns praised the team’s rookie class but did it in a way that may indicate he’s checked out. As his teammates described their Week 12 performance as “soft,” Burns called it “ass.” Other players, such as wide receiver Darius Slayton and offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor, implied some of their teammates are giving less than 100 percent. The rookie struggles can be chalked up as growing pains, and Burns said, “they’re going to be key players for us next year.” It was a bit alarming, however, that Burns was talking about next year with six games remaining in this season. But that’s where things stand for the Giants. Maybe they, too, are beginning to look ahead to 2025. After all, it’s clear this season is lost. Still, remarking on what the rookie class will do a year from now when there are still games to be played is a poor indicator of where the team’s focus is. They should be honed in on the now but that’s obviously not the case. You can hardly blame Burns for looking ahead, especially when his comment came off the cuff, but the optics are poor and paint an ugly picture for head coach Brian Daboll.

Title: Power Meets Precision: Rybakina vs Sabalenka in a Semifinal Showdown Introduction When two of the most formidable power hitters in women’s tennis collide, the result is rarely anything short of explosive. The semifinal clash between Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka promises exactly that—a high-stakes duel defined by big serves, baseline aggression, and razor-thin margins. With a place in the final on the line, this matchup is not just about skill, but about composure under pressure and the ability to seize critical moments. Player Overviews Elena Rybakina: Calm Efficiency and Lethal Serving Rybakina has established herself as one of the most efficient players on tour. Known for her smooth, almost effortless power, she rose to global prominence after winning Wimbledon Championships in 2022. Her game revolves around a dominant first serve, often producing free points or weak returns that she can quickly capitalize on. In recent seasons, Rybakina has maintained a strong presence in the latter stages of major tournaments, signaling consistency at the highest level. Her temperament is another key asset—she rarely shows emotion on court, which can make her particularly dangerous in tight situations. Aryna Sabalenka: Relentless Power and Competitive Fire Sabalenka, on the other hand, brings a more explosive and emotional brand of tennis. A Grand Slam champion at the Australian Open (2023), she has evolved significantly, especially in managing her once-erratic serve. Her raw power off both wings, particularly her forehand, allows her to dictate rallies and overwhelm opponents. What sets Sabalenka apart is her intensity. She thrives on momentum and can raise her level dramatically when she senses an opening. While her game can occasionally produce unforced errors, her improved consistency in recent years has made her one of the most feared players on tour. Tactical and Performance Analysis At its core, this matchup is a battle of controlled aggression versus relentless force. Rybakina’s serve will be one of the most decisive weapons on the court. If she lands a high percentage of first serves, she can keep points short and prevent Sabalenka from finding rhythm on return. Her flat groundstrokes, particularly off the backhand wing, allow her to redirect pace effectively and exploit any positional lapses. Sabalenka, however, will look to counter this by attacking second serves and stepping inside the baseline whenever possible. Her ability to take time away from opponents is crucial—if she can rush Rybakina into shorter swings or defensive positions, she gains the upper hand. Additionally, Sabalenka’s improved net play adds another layer to her attack, giving her more options to finish points. From a baseline perspective, both players prefer first-strike tennis, meaning rallies may be shorter than average. This increases the importance of serve and return efficiency, as well as the ability to convert break points—likely to be limited in number. Head-to-Head Context Their head-to-head record has been competitive in past meetings, though exact figures may vary depending on the timing of this matchup. Historically, matches between them have often been decided by small margins, with momentum swings playing a significant role. If precise statistics are unavailable, it is safe to say that neither player holds an overwhelming psychological advantage. Key Matchup Factors 1. First-Serve Percentage For Rybakina, this is non-negotiable. A high first-serve percentage allows her to control tempo and avoid extended rallies where Sabalenka’s power can take over. 2. Unforced Errors vs Winners Balance Sabalenka walks a fine line between dominance and overhitting. If she maintains discipline and keeps her error count in check, her aggressive style becomes a major asset. 3. Mental Resilience Under Pressure Semifinals bring added pressure, and both players have experienced high-stakes matches before. Rybakina’s calm demeanor contrasts with Sabalenka’s emotional intensity—either approach can succeed, but it will depend on who manages key moments better. 4. Return of Serve Breaking serve may prove difficult. The player who can generate even a slight edge on return—by neutralizing the first serve or attacking the second—could decide the match. 5. Surface Influence While the exact surface is unspecified, both players perform well on hard courts and grass, where their power games are most effective. If played on a slower surface, longer rallies could slightly favor Sabalenka’s physicality, though Rybakina’s precision still keeps her competitive. Conclusion: Who Has the Edge? This semifinal is as evenly matched as it gets—two elite players with similar strengths but different approaches to applying them. Rybakina’s efficiency and composure make her incredibly difficult to break down, while Sabalenka’s intensity and firepower give her the ability to take the match out of her opponent’s hands. That said, Sabalenka appears to hold a slight edge heading into this contest. Her recent improvements in consistency, combined with her ability to raise her level in big moments, suggest she may be better equipped to handle the pressure and dictate play over the course of a full match. Expect a tight, high-quality battle, potentially decided by a few key points. But if Sabalenka can strike the right balance between aggression and control, she is the more likely player to emerge victorious and book her place in the final.
