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

“Just don’t look at it,” Skattebo told Pakinomist Digital on the radio show before Super Bowl LX.
“All that matters is ball,” Dart added. “That’s the only way to do it.”
Longtime agent Leigh Steinberg also discussed the NFL’s potential handling of the situation in a sit-down with Pakinomist Digital.
“I think it’s a matter of how the NFL applies their standards. The very fact that you’re mentioned in these revelations doesn’t mean you’re actually guilty of anything,” Steinberg said. “So I think there has to be a standard of proof that shows he was engaged in activities that damaged the NFL’s reputation.

“But it’s kind of sad because the Giants just took a big step forward with the hiring of John Harbaugh. And I want to think he’s the type of culture changer that’s going to be to their ultimate benefit.”
“You have the release of all those documents, and then the question is, what is really the action and substance behind them? And then they’re going to have to evaluate that and make a difference,” Steinberg continued. “He has the presumption of innocence.”
Tisch released a statement shortly after the revelation.
“We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about grown women, and in addition we discussed movies, philanthropy and investments. I did not accept him on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a horrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with,” Tisch said.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league would “absolutely … look at all the facts.”
“We’re going to try to understand it and we’re going to look at how it falls under policy. I think we’re going to take it one step at a time. Let’s get to the facts first.”
