From 1963 on.... I think my dad rooted for the NYGiants. They lived in the Bronx just above Yankee Stadium. I can remember going over to my Uncles apartment there sometime around Christmas or just after one year. We had watched the game on TV there I was not that interested. But we walked down to the bakery just past the stadium. They had the back access gate open as the game was over. Great picture in my mind of the field layout there. Funny thing is this group of fans are taking the goal posts home. Trying to get them into the door of the bus they are on. These were the way old types where it was 3 inch steel pipes screwed together. How they ever got them apart I'll never know. But they did get them into the bus. The window. Imagine that being done today.
We used to watch the football highlights they ran each week - 1/2 hous show.
Lots of action and not a lot of interruptions.
This is where I picked up being a Cowboy fan.
