I was in a much better mood is time, especially since our foot11 team barbecued St. Danny qnd 5 hogs like the English burned Joan Arc. However, today, I'm in a great )od because for the first time in a g time, both teams from the greatcity in the world are winning. Oh ih, for those who think I'm talk; about Columbia or Atlanta, I'm king about New York, stupid. The Giants and Jets are no iger the Gints and Jests, at least t at this point of the season, ey have a combined 9-6 record, th the Giants owning sole posision of the toughest division in ; NFL, the NFC East. In the same ision that includes the Convicts, dskins and Eagles, the Giants, :ked by many so-called "experts" finish last, now reign supreme. Meanwhile, the Jets, who ve been the league's whipping boy ar the last few years, are having e best season a Jets .team has d in five years. They have been in ery game and have shown a heart a teams before them haven't had. There are several reasons for a resurgence of New York football, le reason is the coaching. There s been a Tuna sighting and a Fas1 display in the Meadowlands. Bill rcells and Jim Fassel have turned air teams around with defense and ckup quarterbacks. I've wondered why the Jets snt so much money on Neil ODon11, when Glenn Foley is so much tter. Throw the Super Bowl, get luge-money contract. Dave Brown is the biggest waste ice Sparky Woods and the Giants s., George Young) made a huge miske releasing Phil Simms for him. 1993, Simms threw for over 3,300 rds, gaining his team an 11-5 ;ord, before losing to San Francisin the divisional playoffs. The next ar, he was forced to retire in favor the younger Brown. Simms is now laxing in the broadcast booth at BC with two Super Bowl rings and e Giants have yet to make a play appearance with Brown as their pial caller. Thank God for Danny mell. With a little luck, and a continince of their spectacular play, both e Jets and Giants will make the ayoffs together for the first time ice 1986, when the Giants won it I behind the coaching of Parcells. I as still a virgin back then, so that as a very long time ago. However, I'm confident I will see happen, and to tnose tnat don t, e you in the playoffs. Of course, you all know now hat time it is. Another poor loser ill be inducted into the Singletonn Hall of Shame with the "U Suck" ward. This week, I have to give the vard to two teams who have givi the Fall Classic a bad name. In a city that houses the Rock id Roll Hall of Fame, I just saw a mch of rocks rolling baseballs in ame 3 Tuesday night. It was the orst display of baseball I've ever en ? American League baseball its best. In the top of the ninth, it emed Cleveland forgot how to play ifense. My baby brother's Little sague team plays better defense lan that, and he's onlv 8 vears old. Florida fared no better. With a iven-run lead going into the bottom ' the ninth, and their closer on the ound, they shouldn't have had any roblems. Sadly, this was not the tse as Robb Nen gave up four runs jfore finally shutting the door on le Indians. This is what happens when you it an expansion team and the Ameran League's third best team in the forld Series. You get a Little League ame. The blunt, basic truth is that le best each league has to offer is ot playing in the World Series this ear, and fans of baseball will have > suffer for it.
