Eli Manning Pass to David Tyree You Tube video link.
Congratulations to the New York Giants on their remarkable win of last night’s Super Bowl. It was one of the most exciting Super Bowl games ever played. Eli Manning’s scramble avoiding a last minute sack by the Patriot defense and then pass to David Tyree who made a remarkable catch with his helmet was unbelievable. It reminded me of the immaculate reception catch by Franco Harris though Tyree’s catch is of greater importance since it occurred in the Super Bowl rather than a Divisional Playoff game.There was sporting activities on Roosevelt Island this weekend as well. Walking by the playground on way to Roosevelt Island Farmers Market on Saturday, I saw a couple practicing their cricket swings. They were pretty good and kindly allowed me to take their picture. Then there was the father and son shooting hoops at the basketball court. Finally the Roosevelt Island Super Bowl. Not only was it Full Contact, No Pads football, but it was played with spikes and mouth guards. The players and fans joked about who would be knocked out of the game first and when. These were tough guys! Now that Football season is over ( the Pro Bowl does not count) we can turn our attention to my favorite sport Baseball.
