The Giants cleaned out their lockers on Monday, collectively facing the media one last time. Highlights (or lowlights, depending on your perspective):

* Manning and Mates Say Give Plax Second Shot
* Derrick Ward Blue Over Likely Farewell
* Amani Toomer Avoids Media
* "Spags" The G-Men's "Head Coach-In-Waiting"?
*Pierce Not Taking Blame For Burress Mess (WFAN audio)

As for the Jets ... Rex Ryan is a name we're hearing a lot more of as their coaching search continues.

News of the weird ... okay, where do I go with this one? Oh, what the heck, I'll just play it straight: Knicks' Curry accused of soliciting gay sex from his former driver, asking him to "come and touch it." On the court, the Knicks ended a three-game losing streak, upsetting the Hornets, 101-95.

Brook Lopez dropped a career-high 31 points as the Nets topped the Thunder (that's Oklahoma City for those who are uninformed), 103-99 in OT.

Baseball ... it doesn't seem the Mets are going to land Derek Lowe afterall, possibly losing him to the Braves (gulp). Now the focus is shifting to resigning Oliver Perez.

Hey, I heard Rickey Henderson said that Rickey Henderson is now a Hall of Famer.

The Baracklyn Cyclones? Gotta love minor league baseball.
