Dear New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens:
Well, I guess this is it. After more than 33 years, they’re gonna start taking me down next month.
I can’t believe it, but I’ll soon be a parking lot for this shiny new Meadowlands stadium right next to me, over here.
Me, Giants Stadium. Ground broken on November 19, 1972, [...]

Who would’ve though a week ago that as the final Sunday of the NFL’s regular season approached, the Jets would be playing for the rights to make the playoffs, not the Giants. So many things had to fall right for Gang Green to regain control of their destiny. Those things DID fall right for one [...]

The eyes of all New York Jet fans will be on the Meadowlands on Sunday night, as Gang Green tries to make the NFL postseason for the first time in three years.
Rightfully so, since the Jets (8-7) would either clinch the AFC’s fifth seed with a win over the Cincinnati Bengals (10-5) in the final [...]

Despite the New York Giants’ inconsistent play this season, there couldn’t have been many who would have envisioned an end like this.
A loss?
Sure, definitely possible.
But, a game with as much meaning for the Giants as Sunday’s contest with the Carolina Panthers, essentially lost by halftime?
Almost unfathomable.
Had the Giants followed the expected script, they would have [...]

Just a few short weeks ago, all the talk was that there were two teams who could go undefeated in the regular season and possibly all the way to Super Bowl XLIV. First the New Orleans Saints fell victim and now the 14-1 Indianapolis Colts, too, will not threaten the ‘72 Miami Dolphins. Mercury Morris [...]

It’s not just the end of an era-it’s the end of my youth. When the New Jersey sports and exposition authority opened Giants Stadium on October 10th 1976, I was in my youthful teen years, both in life and in football. The New York Giants would not become a decent team again for about five [...]

Everything was set up perfectly for the New York Giants.
They moved closer to the first-place Dallas Cowboys by beating them at home last week, and Dallas fell even further to New York by losing again, at home to San Diego, earlier in the day on Sunday.
So, it was there for the taking on Sunday night.

After squandering a dominant 5-0 start with a subsequent, nearly opposite 1-5 slide, the New York Giants were in desperate need of a big win against the NFC East-leading Dallas Cowboys at Giants Stadium.
And, the Giants knew that one thing that plagued them most during their struggles before Sunday’s divisional showdown was being on the [...]
