First and foremost, for 32 years I have bled the Teal and Orange of my birth city, Miami.
However, I was raised a native NYer and the team I most associate with my late father is the New York football Giants. We had a tradition of buying Super Bowl Champion hats when I was growing up and treasure the ones he bought me after 1986 and 1990. Still got em, still never wore em.
I stayed over a friends house after partying too hard when David Tyree, Plaxico Burress, Eli Manning and the rest of my father's Giants combined to allow my beloved Miami Dolphins to remain the sole perfect season in NFL history in 2007. Wouldn't you know it, waiting for me on my bed when I returned home later that day was the Locker Room Giants SB Champs hat with a post it note that said "My dear son the Dolphins Fan, You Are Welcome. Love, the NY Giants and their fans (especially your very happy Dad)."
The person who reminded me of that story is my mother, who told me she plans to head to Modells Sporting Goods next Monday to buy my next hat.
Go Big Blue! 34-22 Giants. Corey Webster MVP. One more reason to smile when I think about my dad.
