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.

The United States dominated once again in 2004 Athens Olympics and that is the reason why a lot of people are asking on how many gold medals did the U.S. women win in the Olympics (Athens)? I can’t remember how many but the US garnered 103 medals all in all in Athens. Will the US still be dominating in the Upcoming Beijing Olympics- its closest rival for the top Olympic rank? The US will probably be working double to remain on the top rank considering their closest competitor has its psychological advantage since they are the host country in 2008 Olympics.
