Steve Tisch and his siblings plan to transfer their remaining 23.1% stake in the New York Giants into trusts for their children, a move that would keep ownership within the Tisch family while leaving day-to-day operations unchanged; the Giants' other major owners, including the Mara and Koch families, are unaffected, and the Epstein emails that sparked scrutiny continue to draw attention from lawmakers and NFL officials.
The NFL said it will review the communications between New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and Jeffrey Epstein after the latest DOJ Epstein files surfaced; Commissioner Roger Goodell said it’s premature to determine any discipline under the league’s personal conduct policy, while Tisch has denied wrongdoing and said his past associations were limited and regretted.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell used Super Bowl Opening Night to emphasize unity and say he played no role in Bill Belichick’s Hall of Fame snub, while noting it’s too early to discipline Giants co-owner Steve Tisch over Epstein-related files and acknowledging ongoing diversity efforts; the night’s updates also highlighted Kenneth Walker III’s increased playoff role for Seattle, Bad Bunny’s non-divisive presence, plans for nine international games (including Mexico City and France), tech to assist blind fans, field prep at Levi’s Stadium, and headlines about Sam Darnold as the first 2018 quarterback in the Super Bowl and Drake Maye dealing with illness ahead of the game.
Giants' latest news covers Chad Hall's promotion to wide receivers coach, a look at Shane Day as offensive coordinator candidate, John Harbaugh's plan to raise the team's standard, and co-owner Steve Tisch's Epstein-files controversy drawing scrutiny of ownership and leadership.
Ian O’Connor argues that Steve Tisch’s 2013 emails with Jeffrey Epstein reveal a shocking lapse in judgment and demand accountability in NFL ownership, suggesting Tisch should face penalties or step aside to protect the Giants’ public trust.
Steve Tisch says he briefly knew Jeffrey Epstein and exchanged emails about adult women, but he never visited Epstein's island and regrets the association; the released Epstein files note connections to women, though Tisch was never charged.
DOJ-disclosed Epstein emails from 2013 show Giants co-owner Steve Tisch asking Epstein to connect him with women and inquiring about their suitability, indicating Tisch sought sexual relationships; the messages also note work-related discussions with Epstein about movie projects. The Tisch family co-owns the Giants with the Mara family since 1991, and Tisch has not publicly commented on the matter.
DOJ-released Epstein documents include emails showing he connected Giants co-owner Steve Tisch with several women and provided scouting notes, with exchanges about whether the women were “pro or civilian” or “working girls.” The messages also reference game tickets and invitations, and Epstein's private island offers; it remains unclear if Tisch acted on any of Epstein’s suggestions. Epstein died in 2019 while facing federal charges.
