I wish he could have waited till at least the Vikings had already played the Giants this year.

Wellington Mara, the Giants’ President and Co-Chief Executive Officer who was a vital member of the franchise for every one of its 81 years, a National Football League icon and one of the most beloved and respected figures in professional sports, died today. Mara peacefully passed away at his home in Rye, N.Y., at 9:26 a.m. He was surrounded by his wife, Ann, his 11 children and their spouses, and many of his 40 grandchildren. He was 89.

He had his own football team! :wink: Rack the horny bugger.

I'm just glad he got to see the Cowboys punk his New Jersey Giants one more time before he croaked.

Ha HA!

RACK Mara for being on board with T.V. revenue sharing even though he had the biggest money making franchise in the league at the time.
