Well it is official.  The football season, at least for me as a sports fan is over.  I am a New York Giants fan, and have been for as long as I can remember.  Up until a few years ago my family has had season tickets since 1962.  It was very hard to stop using the seats but the cost had become prohibitive.  Based upon what I have seen this season though I haven't missed much.  The Giants are one of the most disappointing teams in all of professional football.
      My father first purchased the seats and then allowed me to use them when he had moved out of the tri-state area.  We have been fortunate enough to witness plenty of great teams as well as being subjected to some pretty lousy teams.  This team may be the most difficult to watch as they have so much talent and yet have not even managed a win.  Is it February yet?  I personally cannot wait for the season to be over for all football teams as it has become impossible to watch this franchise fail as much as they have over the past few weeks.

  1. Good entry! Other words that might need to be defined include: franchise, season tickets, tri-state area, and manage a win.
