Afternoon tea with the Queen or a tour of Buckingham Palace was not on the Giants' itinerary in their two days here leading up to today's game against the Dolphins, although Steve Tisch did have breakfast with the mayor of London, and John Mara's agenda included a function at the U.S. Ambassador's residence.

The Giants were not here on vacation. They came here strictly for football.

For the NFL, it was more that that.
