Art,
I’ve been a long suffering NY Giants fan since 1960.
People need to realize that football is just a game and not necessarily a reflection of real life. It doesn’t matter how many wins or losses a team gets. It’s how we approach challenges that matters. We either ignore them or face them head on and do our best to accomplish what’s in our best interests.
