Holy Crap! The Giants play a meaningful game Sunday!

We interrupt the continuing deluge on the Yankee Fiasco News Network to bring you this bulletin:

The Yankee yang known as the New York Football Giants have won four straight games and - on the 50th anniversary of Dallas' signature link to human history - have a chance to stick it to the the Hunt brothers, the Koch brothers, the Bush brothers, the "Hell Yeah!" wing of Rick Perry's tailgate party and 130-pound Skeletor impersonator known as Jerry Jones... and do it a few weeks before Texas signs Robbie Cano.

Four in a row? The Gints? OK, we know what that means...

But frankly, I'll take anything that gets me out of another painful day of Yankees news. When the 2013 season ended, I wrongly assumed the worst had happened. For starters, I didn't see the Redsocks rolling to the World Championship. And when that finally played out, once again, I figured we had bottomed out.

Turns out, it was another trap floor. The A-Rod debacle will cruise into January, and no matter what happens, it'll be bad for us. By then, Robbie Cano may be pricing grassy knolls outside Dallas, and we'll be looking at a lineup of rehabbing oldsters, declining free agents and scrap heap mementos - and then next June, we'll draft behind Boston.

Yep, the Giants play Sunday. Lucy will tee it up. Dare we hope?

    The Jints turned it around at just the right time. They must have realized how down we already were and didn't want to keep making it worse.

    Unlike a certain group of clowns known for pinstripes.

    So Duque, where we you when JFK got shot? Everyone remembers that, even those of us who were kids at the time....

    I was in fifth grade. The teacher, Mr. Hogan, made an announcement. He was crying. My parents were right-wing Republicans who so hated the Kennedys that I wanted to laugh. Can you imagine that? It's true, though.

    Consider this: 1963 was the last time the Giants would compete for a championship for 23 years.

    why is it that Yankee fans support the New Jersey Giants while Mets fans support the New Jersey Jets?

    RE: JFK. I remember actually watching a live broadcast (very rare in those days) when Oswald was shot. I remember that vividly.

    I remember being in my sixth grade class, Mrs Kinch, and hearing the principal announce the terrible news over the P.A. Sunday,I was at a friend's house when Oswald was shot and will always remember how bright the live television lights were then and the surprised, almost staged, look the policeman with the Stetson hat had.
