Shut up, Ben, Eli’s resume & the great LeBron. . .

needs to stop talking

now. Needs to stop explaining why he did what he did benching and how he did it.

This isn’t about the future of the Giants, no matter how hard he tries to sell that.

This is about McAdoo somehow trying to prove that he is worthy of a future of his own in Jersey even though he has none.

In a back-door way, making this move to – and maybe even winning a couple of meaningles­s games the rest of the way – is a way for McAdoo to say that this unwatchabl­e team and season isn’t his fault.

But this is the old line about adversity not building character (athletic character in this case), but revealing it.

At a time when communicat­ion skills are such a big reason why he is hired as Yankee manager, look at McAdoo’s, especially this week.

Somehow he couldn’t even get his story straight with his owner, which the owner is going to remember.

More and more he does act like a reimaginin­g of

Handley was 14-18 as Giants coach.

McAdoo, counting a playoff loss to the Packers, is 13-15.

Yeah, he made the playoffs last season. coached the Giants all the way to a Super Bowl once. for the last time? Eli Manning is a Hall of Fame quarterbac­k, despite all the handwringi­ng about that. He won those two Super Bowls. He was MVP in both of them. For all the talk about the helmet catch by Eli still threw the greatest deep ball I have ever seen in a Super Bowl, to

from the shadow of his own goalposts, in Indy that time.

On top of that, he started 210 consecutiv­e games.

If he isn’t a Hall of Famer, they should feel free to turn the place in Canton into a hair salon.

The U.S. Senate looked like a Banana Republic on Friday night and into Saturday morning. Not the store. The Cavs were 5-7 and we were all wondering where was going to be playing next season.

And that is still a fair question, because he left Cleveland once and might do it again.

But look where the Cavs are.

Look at the way they’ve been playing since 5-7, and reminding you that however the MVP votes are counted at the end of the season, LeBron James is still the most valuable basketball player in his league.

And the best all-around player of all time.

That’s it and that’s all, whether he makes it to his 8th straight NBA Finals or not.

LeBron, by the way, has the same birthday as does: Dec. 30. Tiger will be 42, LeBron will be 33. Going back to when

won his first of six NBA titles with the Bulls, the greatest stars in American sports have been Michael and Tiger and LeBron and

LeBron and Brady continue to play at such a high level.

Now Tiger, in yet another comeback from injury and surgery, tries to do the same.

And even in a special event in the Bahamas, even playing his first tournament in 301 days, he did remind us why he made us watch him the way we did in the first place. Not sure I’m emotionall­y prepared for tonight to be the season’s last episode of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

Are we still litigating the ending to the “Titanic” all this time later? Seriously?

got deep-sixed after he said goodbye to Get over it. More and more, looks like some kind of national treasure. I will ask this question again: Is it still a witch hunt when a guy pleads guilty to lying to the FBI?
