Last week was an eventful one in Giants world. I started the week in Mobile for the Senior Bowl and, after a last-minute flight change, was back in East Rutherford for Eli Manning’s retirement news conference on Friday morning.



Both of those events have been covered, but I gathered plenty of additional news and notes, so I figured I’d empty out the notebook so nothing slips through the cracks:



• Joe Judge is entering his ninth year as an NFL coach, but last week was only the second time he has attended the Senior Bowl. Judge’s calendar in January was typically booked as a member of New England’s staff: The Patriots at least reached the AFC Championship Game every year he was in New England and reached the Super Bowl four times.



• Judge’s former boss, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, made a rare appearance in Mobile this year after his team was uncharacteristically eliminated from the playoffs in the Wild Card round.
