I saw a David Bowie concert at Giants Stadium, the only time I was there.

Hey, the Jets are up 27-0 at the half. Even they can’t blow this one…can they?

Never been to the Giants Stadium to watch an NFL game. Have seen the Cosmos and the Metrostars play there.

I think I know EXACTLY where that photo was taken …. near the AT&T building just below Canal Street … (I used to work a few blocks south of there)

Go Bengals!

[2] I’ve been to a handful of NFL games…boring, generally. Lots of down time. You know, all those times it cuts to commercial and you run to the bathroom or grab a beer, in the stadium you just sit there in the cold. Plus the fans (in my experience) tend to be drunker and more obnoxious and idiotic. It didn’t really seem to be much about the game.

Then again, I’m not much of an NFL fan. Maybe if I were more engaged…

[2] yeah i think it is better on tv.
i have only been to one nfl game (have seen more college games live) – it was jets-steelers a handful of years ago when both sucked. it was a cold ass snowy, december – the bus driver got lost from the meadowlands coming back to the port authority because his usual route was closed. anyways the highlight of the day was hot chocolate.

i am really bummed by the reports linked on rab that coney is probably not coming back to yes next year.

I’ve never once been to an NFL game. My friend, who has, insists it’s better on TV (the converse is true of baseball).

Anyway wow I can’t believe the Jets are in a position to make it to the playoffs after blowing it two weeks ago. They are so, so lucky. Their defense is also an example of the numbers lying to an extent – top rated but definitely un-clutch. It was brutal vs the Falcons on that final drive, but that wasn’t the first time.

Attended only one Jets game in the Meadowlands right after it opened with a friend Pat O’brian. Remember nothing. Couldn’t see the field. It was cold. Saw many cold games at Shea. People begged you to go to the games in December. I remember the trial, too, at 100 Centre Street.
