SAN FRANCISCO – The New York Giants organization found itself in uncharted territory late last week when co-owner Steve Tisch was found as damning evidence in the newly released Epstein files.
Some of the emails exchanged between Epstein and Tisch appeared to show the two women chatting, in one case quite explicitly.
It’s a noise that no one on the Giants wants, and it’s a noise that Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo ignore.

“Don’t watch it,” Skattebo told PK Press Club Digital on the radio before Super Bowl LX.
“The only thing that matters is the ball,” Dart added. “It’s the only way to do it.”
Longtime agent Leigh Steinberg also discussed the NFL’s potential handling of the situation during a meeting with PK Press Club Digital.
“I think it depends on how the NFL enforces its standards. Just because you’re mentioned in these revelations doesn’t mean you’re actually guilty of anything,” Steinberg said. “So I think there will have to be a standard of proof showing that he was engaged in activities that damaged the reputation of the NFL.

“But it’s a little sad, because the Giants just took a big step forward with the hiring of John Harbaugh. And I think he’s the kind of culture changer that will ultimately benefit them.”
“You have the release of all these documents, and then the question is, what is actually the action and the substance behind them? And so, they will have to evaluate that and make a difference,” Steinberg continued. “He benefits from the presumption of innocence.”
Tisch released a statement shortly after the revelation.
“We had a brief association during which we exchanged emails about grown women and, in addition, we discussed films, philanthropy and investments. I responded to none of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret having been associated with,” Tisch said.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league would “absolutely look at all the facts.”
“We’ll try to figure this out, and we’ll see how it comes down to policy. I think we’re taking it step by step. Let’s start with the facts.”
