These are the moments that define who we are.......where we have come from , and where we are headed.....the resiliency and determination of the New York Football Giants this past month and a half brought a tear to my eye and a chill to my spine. To have the good fortune to finally exhale and drink a case of beer with some good friends in the Kettle Black yesterday was the priceless cherry on top. kudos to our Jet brothers who chose not to wallow in the mire but rather come out , shake a hand, have a drink and join the party....although it must hurt immeasurably......i love the Mets and 86 was a blast, but as delighted as i was back then, i don't recall being "proud" of them......Hockey was my cross to bear and that 54 years curse was unbearable...i have exalted the members of that team into the Tom O'Dowd Hall of Fame and will never utter a disparaging word against any of them...i have named pets after these guys so as never to allow their names to fade from consciousness.....but alas hockey is a canadian game........football...as we know, eat, sleep and breath IS America's past time....the Super Bowl is the most important event of ANY year...as Americans we wear it on our sleeves, we are part of the games....we feel it when we win and we are crushed emotionally, mentally, physically when we run out of time....for we never loose.....I am Proud to be a New York Football Giant Fan....and I am Proud of this team.
