Former San Francisco Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff has launched a profanity-filled attack over the club’s ongoing Pride Night controversy. The former Giant directed much of his criticism at the questions team president Buster Posey faced from reporters while defending what he believes Posey wanted to say publicly. According to TMZ, Huff, who helped the Giants win World Series titles in 2010 and 2012, posted a series of messages on X after Posey declined to answer questions Tuesday regarding the organization’s Pride Night controversy, which has remained in the spotlight following Major League Baseball’s decision to warn several Giants pitchers...

Buster Posey tried to move on from the Giants’ Pride Night controversy. Instead, his response seemed to frustrate just about everyone. The Giants president of baseball operations met with reporters Tuesday at Oracle Park and opened with a brief statement acknowledging that fans had “strong feelings” about the issue. But when follow-up questions came, Posey repeatedly shut them down. “I’ll answer baseball questions,” Posey said. That did not go over well. The controversy began on June 12, when Giants pitchers Landen Roupp, J.T. Brubaker and Ryan Walker wrote Bible verse references on their Pride Night caps. A fourth pitcher, Sam...

The ongoing controversy surrounding the San Francisco Giants' Pride Night and the four players who protested it has officially reached the Trump administration. On Thursday, Department of Justice assistant attorney general Harmeet K. Dhillon announced that the department's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) will be investigating MLB after the league issued warnings to the three players who wrote Bible verses on their Pride Night caps, citing possible religious discrimination. “The three players expressed their opposition to MLB’s pro-Pride orthodoxy by inscribing Bible verses on their rainbow-colored hats,” Dhillon wrote in a letter to MLB commissioner Rob Manfred. “The Civil Rights...

The growing controversy surrounding the San Francisco Giants and Major League Baseball’s response to players displaying Bible verses on their hats during a Pride Night game has put the league in hot water with federal authorities. Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for civil rights at Department of Justice, announced in a scathing letter on Thursday that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission would investigate the case. Dhillon’s letter, addressed to MLB Commissioner Robert Manfred, blasted the league for potential violations of the law. “The Civil Rights Act prohibits MLB and its franchises from unreasonably burdening the rights of players with religious...

Late last week, the San Francisco Giants hosted their "Pride Night," with the team wearing hats with a rainbow-colored Giants logo. Several Giants pitchers, in a statement of their faith, wrote Bible verse designations on their hats. One, starting pitcher Landen Roupp, addressed his reasoning after the game, saying that the verse is about representing "God's covenant." "It's just about God's covenant and a promise that he makes to us that, you know, his faithfulness and his mercy," Roupp said to reporters. "That's just kind of something I believe in, and I stand firm in that, and I'm thankful we...

Linebacker Abdul Carter was among New York Giants players Saturday who shut down speculation that quarterback Jaxson Dart's political views were causing division in the locker room. Dart, the Giants' second-year starter, introduced President Donald Trump at a pep rally Friday at Rockland Community College in Suffern, New York. They were at an event for New York Rep. Mike Lawler about 35 miles northwest of New York City. "Look, Big Blue Nation, it's a pleasure to be here. I've got to start this off with a 'Go Big Blue.' I'd love if you all would follow with me," Dart said...

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is receiving plenty of backlash after introducing President Donald Trump at a recent political rally. “Big Blue nation, it’s a pleasure to be here,” Dart, 23, told a crowd in Suffern, New York, on Friday, May 22, during a campaign-like rally for Republican congressman Mike Lawler, who is up for reelection in a tough swing district. “What an honor, what a privilege it is to be here, and without further ado, I’m grateful, I’m honored, I’m pleasured to introduce the 45th and 47th president of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump.”...

Giants co-owner Steve Tisch announced he will give up his shares of the football team and pass them on to his children after being exposed for asking Jeffrey Epstein about a “working girl” in a series of damning emails about women, sources confirmed to The Post. Tisch, 77, requested to transfer the 23.1% stake in Big Blue that he shares with his siblings, Laurie and Jonathan, to his and their children. The move would leave the elder Tisch siblings with no ownership of the team if the NFL’s finance committee approved the move, first reported by ESPN. The team is...

The papyrus describes encounters with the Shosu people, said to stand 'four cubits or five cubits' tall, up to eight feet in height. Supporters of the theory say the text provides rare non-biblical corroboration of Old Testament accounts of giants, which appear repeatedly beyond the familiar story of David and Goliath. An Egyptian cubit measured roughly 20 inches, meaning the Shosu would have towered over most people of the era. The papyrus takes the form of a letter written during a time of war, detailing hostile terrain and military challenges.

That real-world experience is exactly what this district needs in Washington,” Burress said....

What did Jesus really know about the Book of Enoch and the Nephilim giants? Does the Bible hint at “extraterrestrials” cohabiting with mankind in a forgotten golden age? Glenn Beck sits down with ‪@TimothyAlberino‬ for a mind-blowing conversation that connects the dots from Genesis 6 to the coming post-human apocalypse. As futurists like Yuval Harari openly declare the end of humanity, gene editing, artificial wombs, IVF, and transhumanism are rapidly remaking man in a new image. Alberino issues a chilling wake-up call to Christians: “There’s only one qualification for redemption at the cross of Christ — you must be human.”...

NFL fans became fed up with the Eagles’ “push tush” play on Sunday after Philly QB Jalen Hurts made a fumble that ended up not being ruled a fumble. The Eagles unleashed the play on 4th-and-1 to push Hurts just far enough ahead to gain a first down, but as he surged forward, he lost control of the ball, and it appeared that the New York Giants’ Kayvon Thibodeaux stripped it from Hurts’ possession. Naturally, the Giants thought they had won control of the ball. Watch: VIDEO AT LINK............ Of course, the refs disagreed. They ruled that Hurts’ forward progress...

The Koch family reportedly has agreed to purchase a 10% stake in the New York Giants. The deal, which was first reported by Bloomberg, is pending approval by league owners, which could come as soon as their next meeting in October. It would come at a valuation of $10 billion, which would surpass the then-North American professional record of $6.05 billion that Josh Harris' group paid to buy the Washington Commanders from former owner Dan Snyder in 2023.

McWilliams adds that the Giants will absorb the remainder of Devers’s contract in its entirety. Murray later identified those two prospects as outfield/first base prospect James Tibbs and right-handed pitching prospect Jose Bello. The teams subsequently announced the moves, and...

As audiences in the East were used to science finding fantastic new things, it hardly seemed impossible to a person in the 19th century that the country had once been inhabited by giants, or that ancient, incredible civilizations could still lie undiscovered in the vast west.

Just heard that a baseball legend passed away today.

Donald Trump Saturday campaigned in New Jersey, but social media was focused on someone he pointed to in the crowd. Trump delivered remarks at a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey. The former president's introduction included a mention of his "golfing friends." "He's doing quite a great job. What do you think, Lawrence? Doing a great job!" the ex-president said at his weekend. "Look at those to guys, O.J., Lawrence, my golfing friends. We don't have to agree on everything!" Later in the speech, Trump again mentioned "O.J." and "Lawrence," calling them "great guys" and claiming that they once played football....
