Giants, Jets, and Even Knicks Make for Best NYC Sports Day Since the Super Bowl
The last time New York City sports fans enjoyed as much good fortune as they did yesterday was February 3, 2008, when a man named David Tyree — who, with his season-ending injury, it seems clear you’ll need not think about again — caught the most ridiculous of all touchdown passes en route to an amazing Giants Super Bowl victory over the undefeated Patriots. That was a pretty great day. Yesterday came close.
Here’s how it went down. First, the Jets played their most complete game of the season — and probably their most complete in several years — with a thorough 47-3 shellacking of the St. Louis Rams. The game wasn’t even as close as the final score indicated; the Jets ran out to a 40-0 halftime lead in what became the biggest victory margin in franchise history. As has been the case lately, Brett Favre wasn’t the reason for the win; even if he’d tossed up five of his signature oh-what-the-hell-let’s-just-try-this heaves, the Rams still wouldn’t have had a shot. This game sets up a rollicking Thursday-night first-place matchup with the hated Patriots.

New York mayor honors returning Olympians
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and New York City Sports Commissioner Kenneth J. Podziba on Monday welcomed home the city’s returning Olympians and presented each of them with a crystal apple at a ceremony in City Hall Park.
The U.S. Olympic team included 10 athletes from New York City, nine of whom attended the ceremony, including silver medal-winning fencers Erinn Smart (women’s foil team) and Wang Chen (table tennis), according to a report available on www.nyc.gov.
The mayor also presented crystal apples to fencing team captain and coaches and boxing coaches.
“No city in the world epitomizes the spirit and diversity of the Olympic Games like New York does, and the athletes from the five boroughs (of the city) who competed in Beijing are consummate New Yorkers,” Mayor Bloomberg was cited as saying.
