Dee-fense! Dee-fense! Dee-fense! ~ Go Jints! Beat Dallas!

In 1981, my Dad and I watched Joe “The Nose” Danelo kick the Giants over the Cowboys into the playoffs for the first time since 1963.  Never having a sports interested child, I've lost most of my enthusiasm for pro sports, except for the Jints. I remain deliriously under the impression the Giants need me to root for them. I get delightful pleasure when they play well; it’s the one thing other than exercise that still makes me feel like I'm a kid.  My Dad is gone 10 years, but he's with me every Giant game.  Dad never missed one of my football games even with his world class hangovers. We loved the Giants together, it was our unbreakable link.


Beat Dallas!


Our next City Stories: Stoops to Nuts storytelling show at Cornelia Street Café is January 10th @ 6pm. Please come down, I promise a good time.
