'Instagram Guy' gets in Nick Marshall's way at NFL Combine (VIDEO)

While Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall was setting up for his 40-yard dash at the NFL combine, some doofus was taking pictures where he wasn't supposed to be.

You can hear someone in the video below, yelling "Hey, Instagram guy, move!"

And former Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes was able to out the Insta-idiot.

Ex-Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes trolls Patriots on Twitter

It wasn't long after the New England Patriots thumped the Indianapolis Colts, 45-7, in the AFC Championship Game, before one former New York Giant took to Twitter and trolled the winners.

The Patriots earned a trip to Super Bowl XLIX  against the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks but ex-Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes wanted to make sure they remembered the last two times the New Englanders made it to the big game

The Pats have learned to celebrate the hell out of those AFC Championships because the know what comes 2 weeks later. #0-2inGlendale

And Tynes wasn't satisfied with just one infuriating slam. He had plenty more to say about the team his Giants beat twice.

The facts are the facts. I sense the 10 year frustration in these tweets. Enjoy the AFC ring ceremony. They should have the process down
— Lawrence Tynes (@lt4kicks) January 19, 2015

I sincerely love the passion. Although some of you are a little over the top, I get it. I am sure I will get this going again real soon
— Lawrence Tynes (@lt4kicks) January 19, 2015

At least the Pats will have more than this photo of David Tyree's Helmet Catch as added incentive now.

They'll have Tynes' prediction too:

Do you think @RSherman_25 will do the "You Mad Bro" Part II after the @Seahawks win the Super Bowl. #SuperBowl

Buccaneers' Johnthan Banks cleared to play with MRSA infection

Cornerback Johnthan Banks, the third Tampa Bay Buccaneers player diagnosed with MRSA, is not a risk to transmit the severe staph infection to other players and has been cleared to play Sunday, the NFL announced Saturday night.

In a statement, the NFL said it worked together with the players' association and that a "jointly retained specialist has met with the team, supervised the inspection of the facilities, conducted medical examinations and agrees with the team medical staff that Mr. Banks does not pose a risk of transmission to other players."

The league also said the specialist met with team officials from the Philadelphia Eagles, whom the Bucs host on Sunday.

Banks was recently diagnosed with MRSA, the severe staph infection resistant to most antibiotics. The bacteria have been known to cause boils, abscesses, impetigo, septic wounds, heart-valve problems and toxic shock syndrome. In extreme cases, it can result in death.

People with weakened immune systems who have been infected with Staphylococcus aureus require treatment with antibiotics to help clear the infection. The concern with MRSA strains of bacteria is that they are resistant to a number of the antibiotics that are normally used to treat Staphylococcus aureus infections.

The NFLPA had questioned whether the game should be played at Raymond James Stadium because of concern that the players would be at risk to contract the infection at the Bucs' facility.

Two other Buccaneers players -- kicker Lawrence Tynes and guard Carl Nicks — contracted MRSA in August. Tynes, who has since been placed on the non-football injury list, is still being treated for the infection. Nicks did not play until Week 3 because of the infection.

On the team's injury report Friday, Banks and Nicks were listed as questionable to play Sunday.

Giants to boot Lawrence Tynes and sign kicker Josh Brown

It looks like Lawrence Tynes won't be kicking any more heart-clutching field goals for the New York Giants in the future.

The veteran kicker — who who will always be remembered by Big Blue fans for a couple of dramatic overtime kicks that took the Giants to two Super Bowls — is not going to be re-signed by the team, according to a report in NJ.com.

Jenny Vrentas wrote:

Another veteran kicker, Josh Brown, is signing with the Giants Wednesday morning, according to two people with knowledge of the move.  These people requested anonymity because the Giants have not yet announced the signing.

The 34-year-old Tynes just ended a 5-year, $7 million contract with the Giants and the team was waiting for feelers on what the kicker's going rate was as an unrestricted free agent.  The team didn't want to sign him to a big contract.  He made 33-of-39 field goals (84.6%) last season.

Brown was brought in for a visit and a physical last night after the Giants signed former Cowboys kicker David Buehler as insurance last month.

Brown, 33, was a replacement kicker for the Bengals and was named special teams player of the month when he filled in for the injured Mike Nugent last December.  He began his career with the Seattle Seahawks in 2004 and also played for the St. Louis Rams.  Brown tried out with the Jets last summer but was beaten out by Nick Folk.

Tynes — who started with the Giants in 2007 — will always have a place in Giants fans' hearts.  He is most famous for his two game-winning overtime field goals in the 2007 and 2011 NFC Championship Games.

The first 47-yarder came in the freezing cold of Lambeau Field against the Packers. The second clutch kick was a 31-yarder in the mud of Candlestick Park against the 49ers. They both led to Super Bowl titles.

For some reason, the release of Tynes is one more sign of the end of an Giants era.

Giants fall to Eagles 19-17 after Tynes' 54-yard field goal falls short

It was a typically wild New York Giants -Philadelphia Eagles battle for first place in the NFC East Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field.  But — just when it looked like Eli Manning was ready to lead the Giants to the 24th come-from-behind-victory of his career — the magic of Eli vanished.  Make that more like 10 important yards disappeared.

The Eagles (3-1) won 19-17 after the Giants (2-2) rally fell short with only seconds remaining in the game.

Ramses Barden — one of the breakout heroes during last week's victory over the Carolina Panthers —came out of this game wearing goat horns after his offensive pass interference set the Giants back a critical 10 yards leaving kicker Lawrence Tynes looking at a 54-yard game-winning field goal attempt instead of a more doable 44-yarder.  With only 15 seconds remaining, and no timeouts, the Giants made a tough decision to kick on third down instead of trying to get closer to the goal posts.

Barden had a hand in getting the Giants into winning field goal range in the first place, after two pass interference calls went in his favor, but his penalty was more glaring at the end.

Tynes — who is usually money on last-minute shots — watched as his kick sailed straight towards the middle of the uprights, only to fall about one yard short.  It was Tynes second chance at the game winner after the Eagles called a timeout to ice the kicker and his first attempt went wide left.

Manning wouldn't let Barden take all the blame for the critical penalty.

"We were close.  In field goal range and then had the penalty," said the Giants quarterback after the game. "My throw put Ramses in a bad position.  We fell short."

The Eagles winning score , a 26-yard field goal, was kicked with 1:49 left in the game.

The Eagles still have Big Blue's number. It was the Giants eighth loss in their last nine games to their division rivals.

Giants Punter Gets Really Excited About Going To Super Bowl

The most excited player on the field— after New York Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes booted the winning field goal to defeat the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game— was the guy who held the ball— punter and holder Steve Weatherford.

After the 31-yard overtime kick defeated the Niners, 20-17, Weatherford could be seen running around the field trying to pull his helmet off his head and screaming what looks like, "I'm going to the f---ing Super Bowl!"

Weatherford had good reason to be happy because he had a lot to do with the victory.

His superb foot kept the 49ers out of good field position all night and his sure hands were fast enough to gather the ball for the winning kick after a bad snap from the center.  He prevented what could have been another long-snap fiasco in Frisco.

The defensive battle had him matching punts with the Niners Andy Lee all game long and the Giants punter kept pinning the Niners deep in their own side of the field.  Weatherford punted 12 times on the rain-soaked field inside Candlestick Park for a 46.4 average.

Even the winning score was set up on one Weatherford's punts after 49ers punt returner Kyle Williams was stripped of the ball by Giants special teamer Jacquian Williams into the arms of teammate Devin Thomas in 49ers territory.

A few running plays and the sudden-death kick later, the Giants were heading to Indianapolis for a rematch with the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LXVI.

Maybe after the Giants next game, Weatherford will be yelling, "I'm going to Disney World."  But without the expletives.
