You’re welcome, and thank *you* for the longer clip.

My late father was also a big Giants fan. I went for the then Baltimore Colts, despite our living in New York City for all of my life. Still there now.

Growing up in Connecticut, I adopted the Rams, after being repulsed by the local Cowboys fans. My brother went with the Eagles (Roman Gabriel). Other kids in school went with the Steelers, Raiders, Dolphins. NFL football had been successfully turned into a national sport thanks to guys like Pete Rozelle and Tex Schramm, so NO ONE I knew felt obliged to be a Giants fans, whatever their fathers did. The Patriots didn't even hit the radar. Even the Massachusetts folks were more interested in the Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and even Boston College than the Patriots, even when Steve Grogan led them to the playoffs.
