25 Years Ago Today, The Giants Taught The Broncos To Play

25 years ago today, the New York Giants beat the Denver Broncos 39-20. I was there, in the worst seat in the Rose Bowl on Jan 25, 1987. I couldn't have been happier. That day was perfect. My Giant misery was finally over at 32 years old. Go Giants! 

If it was 1973 by chance, and I was 19, I'd go to Paragon's on 17th & Bdway, buy new football equipment, go to the Asphalt Green on York Avenue, and start a tackle football game. Bet you I'd have 22 guys in an hour.

On the sideline the girls with the radios played Dancin' In The Moonlight & Bargain. 

I always liked listening to Keith Moon when we hit each other.

Christmas Morning ~ 7 am

Christmas morning, 7am: St. Elizabeth of Hungary church on 83rd Street; Boot wipe on 82nd street stoop; Second Avenue buildings.

Rose Bowl January 25, 1987.

Giants 6-2, Cowboys 1-6

Tomorrow, at the end of the day, the Giants may have a five game lead on the Cowboys at the half way point of the season.

I was brought up not to gloat, all bets are off when it comes to Dallas. The best part of the end of the World Series, was once the Texas Rangers lost all the Dallas newspapers could refocus on the 1-6 Cowboys. Cowboys play the Packers tomorrow and though the Packers have played wishy washy, I'm expecting a strong game, because the Packers hate the Cowboys almost as much as the Giants do.
