Dec 17, 2011 – New York Giants linebacker Michael Boley is under investigation amid allegations that he repeatedly abused his five-year old son this spring, TMZ reported on Saturday.

Boley is alleged to have beaten his son repeatedly between the dates of May 30 and June 5, according to a Gadsden, Alabama police report. 

The entire details of the allegation are not known, but a police spokesperson told TMZ that the District Attorney’s office has been given the results of the investigation and will present them to a grand jury. The grand jury will then decide whether Boley will be charged with a crime. 

Boley’s attorney, Randall M. Kessler, said he has been aware of the charges for some time since they were brought up during a contested child support case, and that the child’s mother did not ask for any order restricting visitation at the time.

A second woman, who has a two-year old son with Boley, has requested that Boley only be allowed to visit their child under supervision.

EAST RUTHERFORD — Giants defensive backs know all about the Eagles’ big-play potential.

Last Sunday, they watched DeSean Jackson burn the Dallas defense with a 60-yard pass completion on the game’s first play to set up the Eagles’ opening touchdown.

Then they saw Jackson clinch the win in the fourth quarter with a spectacular 91-yard catch-and-run on another Michael Vick pass.

When the Giants played at Philly on Nov. 21 they were caught out of position when Shady McCoy took a short Vick pass on 4th-and-one after an offside penalty by rookie Jason Pierre-Paul saved the Eagles from punting.

McCoy caught a ball almost tipped by Osi Umenyiora and raced past three Giants for a clinching 50-yard TD that went a big way to keeping the Eagles atop the NFC East.

When the teams meet again tomorrow (FOX Channels 5-29, 1 p.m.) to break the first- place tie in the division and probably put the winner in position to clinch the NFC East title, the Giants’ defense is determined not to let the Eagles’ offense exploit their defense again.

“After we lost that game in Philly we said we wanted to be 9-4 when we played them again, and here we are at 9-4,” said Giants safety Deon Grant. “Last time we played them we were coming off the Dallas loss. Now we come in with three straight wins.”

That’s no guarantee the G-Men can end a five-game losing streak against Andy Reid’s team, which leads the NFL with the most plays over 20 yards with 67, four receivers who have had games with more than 50 receiving yards this year.

Their 13 touchdowns of 30 or more yards tops the league, as does the 129 points they’ve scored from outside the red zone.

“We’re aware of it, but we don’t care what they do to other teams. We’re determined not to let big plays happen on the first play of this game or later in the game,” says Grant. Continued…

The Giants defense hasn’t forgotten McCoy’s 50-yard TD and the 2-point conversion pass to Jason Avant that put the Eagles up, 24-16, with 3:57 to play.

McCoy admits it was probably one of his biggest plays this season.

“It was pretty clutch,” he admits. “There was a lot of great blocks on that one, but where it ranks for me? I can’t really place it anywhere yet. But it’s definitely in my top five.

“I remember the ball almost being tipped by Osi Umenyiora. All I saw was the touchdown. I was looking up at the screen to see if any Giants guys were around me.

“To be honest, I was surprised there was nobody around. It was a great call, one of those things you’re saying how lately LeSean has been good in clutch situations like 3rd-and-short and other things.

“They (Giants) called the defense that coach Marty (Mornhinweg) thought they would and it worked out. It was definitely surprising to see nobody anywhere close,” recalled McCoy.

Looking at tape of that play the Giants are as surprised as McCoy that they had nobody close to preventing the touchdown.

It’s one glaring mistake they are determined to keep from happening again tomorrow.

•••

Offensive center Shaun O’Hara said he’s expecting to play tomorrow, although Coughlin is taking a wait and see attitude after the veteran center had his most successful day of practice since being sidelined with a foot injury and missing six games. Continued…

If O’Hara does return the Giants would have their customary starting offensive line ready to go with Chris Snee, Kareem McKenzie and David Diehl all back to join O’Hara and always-reliable Rich Seubert, who has filled in at center.

Adam Koets, Shawn Andrews, Kevin Boothe and Will Beatty have all started various games this season giving the Giants depth on the offensive line few expected they had.

“I think that really it’s a tribute to the guys, the guys like Rich,” O’Hara said. “Certainly Rich doesn’t get enough credit and we tease him pretty good but he’s really been our MVP on the offensive liner with everything that he’s been able to do.”

In addition to O’Hara former Eagle Andrews (back), linebacker Michael Boley (shoulder) and wide receiver Devin Thomas (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis and are listed as questionable now.

Wide receiver Mario Manningham (hip flexor), Snee (hip), Justin Tuck (abdomen) and Osi Umenyiora (knee) are probable. Manningham was limited in what he did at practice, but the others all practiced fully.
