In 2016, New York Giants fans were more than dreaming about Odell Beckham Jr. and Eli Manning combining to win a Super Bowl for Big Blue. The 11-6 Giants were taking on Aaron Rodgers and the 11-6 Green Bay Packers in an NFC Wild Card match-up. Then, days before the Giants first playoff game in five years, controversy struck with OBJ smack in the middle.
When your favorite athlete is in the headlines, it's not always for the best reason, and these New York athletes made headlines for their run-ins with the law.
After spending over a decade at the University at Albany, while hosting the New York Giants summer training camp, I fully realized the importance of the fan connection during time this crucial practice time. NFL training camps are often very inexpensive, if not free, to attend for most teams. Fans wait for hours in sometimes brutal heat to meet their favorite players and 99.9% of the time, the fan favorites deliver for their faithful fanatics, spending hours taking pictures and signing autographs throughout camp. That bond goes a long way for players and NFL organizations.
It really does feel like the Buffalo Bills are in store for a very special season in 2022. You will keep seeing or hearing the phrase "Super Bowl or bust".
Josh Allen is the best quarterback the Buffalo Bills have had in years. He's also one of the best in the National Football League. It's like Josh Allen was made for Buffalo not just on the field, but off of it too, so it is an exciting time to be a Buffalo Bills fan.
