Wellington Mara & Giant Stadium
Dec 24 2009, 9:57 AM EST | Post edited: Dec 24 2009, 9:57 AM EST
A great piece in NY Post today with writer Steve Serby interviewing John Mara about his father & memorable events @ Giant Stadium. A little sampler of the interview:
Q: The Phil Simms and Lawrence Taylor retirement ceremonies?
A: Both of those nights were special for him because he loved both of them. Probably the angriest and most upset I ever saw him was the day we released Phil Simms. I thought for a while there that he was gonna block George (Young) from doing it. That hurt him a lot. Phil was one of his guys.
Q: Watching Bill Parcells roam the sidelines?
A: You always had a feeling that no matter what was happening in the game, with him coaching, and then with Simms at quarterback, that you always had a chance to win. And that’s a great feeling to have. The entire link: http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/giants/serby_special_with_john_mara_ukxlFQQNDVKp6wSyQu3X9J GOOD STUFF!

Mr Mara was the Giants, from my earliest memories from my father referring to a beautiful Sunday as MARA SUNDAY to the great memories of Mr Maras last days...he inspired honesty and passion....he was a true man and Catholic to remember Do you find this valuable?
