ARLINGTON, Texas -- A shoulder injury knocked Giants defensive end Justin Tuck out of Sunday night's victory over the Cowboys late in the first half.Cowboys left tackle Flozell Adams kicked Tuck in the knee as he moved past him, and as a result, Tuck fell hard on his left shoulder.
Tuck did not return, and Adams was penalized for tripping.
After the game Tuck said his shoulder was fine, though he could barely lift it, using his right arm to button his shirt. When asked about Adams' play, Tuck said, "It was bush league. He did it a few times in this game. I'd like to have the rest of the game to punish him for it."
Adams said he doesn't remember kicking Tuck.
"I didn't see nothing," Adams said as he walked out of the Cowboys locker room. "Did you see something?"
Tuck did, and believes a fine of some sort will come against Adams. Last year, Tuck injured his leg on a play against the Cowboys.
"It's the second time I got hurt in this crappy stadium," Tuck said.
When told that the Cowboys' current stadium, a $1.2 billion project, is brand new, Tuck reiterated his thought: "It's still crappy."

I am so pleased that the Cowgirls lost their home and new stadium opener. Not surprised that Jerry's buddy, Bush, was there. Jerry and George are the poster children for the two biggest problems facing America today: greed and stupidity.

Typical "low class,loud mouth" Giant fans ( I respect the Giant fans who have class). I simply stated the truth. I did not make excuses for the loss, I simply pointed out several plays in which the ball bounced to the Giants ( that's football). I stated it was a very entertaining game and anyone who knows football knew it would come down to who had the ball last. For the Professor who felt so compelled to correct my spelling......thanks LOLLLL what did you expect? for me to call you jackass..... I simply make clean opinions without stooping to trashing anyone or their team. I said nothing wrong to have so many of you post deragatory comments aimmed at me. Geeeeeeeeeeeez my feelings are really hurt but I will just have to consider the source from which such comments come from. Congrats to the upper class Giant fans. As for you low lives, congratulations as well. As for the Professor, I don't give a flip about my grammar...as they say if you can undrestnad taht the mnid has a way of raeding sentecnes as long as the frist and last lettres are in the rigth place......who cares if its receivers or recievers!

Neither one of them will ever win a ring. Romo because he isnt good enough and TO because of his selfish it is only about me attitude.

So... if the Giant's are "cheese", what are the cowboy's for losing to them?

Ok so if the Giants are cheeese, would that make the Cowboys and there fans CRACKERS??? Jerry Jones would have been better off throwing a Tea Party. Sitting with Dubya another Good Ole Boy. Im surprised he didnt have Glenn Beck there too.As far as Flo Adams goes, he's old and yesterday's newspaper. 2 leg whips but only got called for one. With the exception of Whitten who is a class act the rest of the team and it's owner have class, but to bad its all LOW..Nice stadium though its almost as big as Jerry Jones ego, which we all know is overwhelming...Not to many cowboy fans on blogging now, gee i wonder why???

First of all, what game did you watch??? Second, what kind of insult is cheese anyway?? You def. dont seem to have any intell. when it comes to football b/c last i remember the giants make clutch plays EVERYTIME they are needed they march that ball down the field almost everytime they have the ball, they are one team that will created a turn over almost everygame, they have one of the most accurate qb's in the league(which i cant say for your team), they have a good 0 line and d line, so by definition they are a good team and happen to be one of the best teams in the league. see i just enjoy watching football and dont enjoy ppl that make it all about winning in loosing and not how the game was faught(like you). See you are such a common cowboys fan, you picked that team b/c they used to be one of the best teams in the league but hey guess what that was in the 90's. you are in for a crappy season this year if you only care about if your team wins. The giants deserve to be respected...they always play with dignity where as ,everyone that blogged is pretty much right, your beloved cowboys win by hurting other players at any cost to that other player. just like the tripping your team pulled(which they often do) was such a pussy move. what your team cant win just by skill and heart alone well luckily for me i picked my fav. team by how much heart they have and how much talent they have without tons and tons and tons of penalties...so take your stupid cheese remark and just remember that your supposed brilliant cowboys just lost to the cheese team...

Adams got away with a couple of other attempted trips. He needs to be watched. Way to go Giants. the better team sure won. We have to stop the run though. Great coverage in secondary and some decent pass rushing. I am glad Carrie dumped that loser. LOL
