Conjuring Uncle Mommy, Time for a Headlock, Go Giants!

Giants playing the Packers tonight?  I'm ready, been ready for 50 years.

Doesn't always work out for the Jints and me, but for good luck I have Uncle Mommy, Teddy, and my #16 OLGC Rams blue jersey circa 1969. For double good luck I have the enormous mittens Nan knitted, and Hector the Duck who has survived three neck surgeries.

Know for sure, when the game's on the line someone's going into a headlock.

Read The New York Times story, "The Headlock That Won for the Giants" here.

"January 25, 1987" Published in Mr. Bellers ~ Good Karma ~ Go Giants!!!

Today, Mr. Beller's Neighborhood published  "January 25, 1987," a story about my adventure getting to the New York Giants first Super Bowl 25 years ago.

I believe in karma. Getting a story out on the day the Giants play the Patriots in a championship game worked once before for the Jints when The New York Times published "The Headlock That Won for the Giants" on February 3, 2008.

Sometimes, it just isn't your day, and teams have been known for whatever reason to not show up for big games. I'm confident the Giants will show up tonight and they couldn't be happier that they are bumping into the Patriots again.

I need a long bike ride to get ready, Go Giiiiiiiiiiiiaaaaaaants!
