Traditionally a run-first team, the New York Giants last season had the fifth-ranked passing offense in the National Football League. However, a key piece of Big Blue's passing game, Mario Manningham, signed on with the San Francisco 49ers in the offseason. The Giants are going to miss Manningham, who forever will be remembered for his epic sideline catch to jump-start New York's game-winning touchdown drive in Super Bowl XLVI.

The final day of the English Premier League season is one of the most exciting days in the sports year.

The 2012 Tampa Bay Buccaneers' schedule will give the team a chance to get back on track after a very rough 2011 NFL season. Tampa Bay had finished 10-6 in the 2010 season, giving fans a lot of hope coming into 2011, but the team regressed to a 4-12 record and fell way out of the playoff race.
