Tom Coughlin had said afterward last night's game against the Jets that doctors had found no ligament damage. That meant cartilage was the most likely problem. Umenyiora had an arthroscopic surgery in college in the same knee to address a cartilage problem. I don't want to press any panic ...

Two self-styled vigilantes against typos who defaced a more than 60-year-old, hand-painted sign at Grand Canyon National Park were sentenced to probation and banned from national parks for a year.
