NFL Sunday : The Jets and The Giants


What greater rivalry could there be in all of sport than the Jets and the Giants? The only cross town rivalry in the entire National Football League (let's ignore the 49ers / Raiders), a shared stadium and history on both sides. Yet in fact the rivalry probably would not rank in the top 50 of US sports. The Jets and the Giants play in neither the same division nor conference which means they can never play a winner takes all game unless by miracle they meet in the Superbowl itself. Actually they only get to play at all every fourth year which is barely enough to confer bragging rights.

For the record the Giants are at home today, both have had average to poor starts to the year, maybe just as well the game is not in NY at all. The stadium is in New Jersey. By the way the Giants won.
