Who Will Go Further: Jets or Giants?

At the end of Week 4 it's interesting to see the state of New York football! Although both New York teams are 2-2, both teams have a long way to go if they want to make the playoffs.

The Giants again lost to the Eagles this weekend; when Andy Reid tried to ice the kicker on a missed field goal attempt it offered Tynes an opportunity of redemption. However, Tynes' second kick fell short to give the Eagles the victory. Tynes would not have been kicking from 54 yards if the Giants had showed more composure instead of Barden being called for offensive pass interference on the last drive. After 4 games, a 2-2 record it is not the end of the world for the Giants, however suffering defeats to Philadelphia and Dallas could prove crucial at the end of the season. But it could have been worse; you could have watched the Jets on Sunday.

World Cup Final, Brazil 2014

Consider yourself to be a soccer fan? If so there can be no more mouth watering a thought than watching a World Cup final in Brazil. As much as my home country may claim to have given the sport to the world (contentiously) I would claim that the Brazilians have single handedly inspired, amazed, and enthused more generations of soccer players and fans than any other. Don’t worry if you cannot be in Rio for the final on July 13th. With almost half of the world’s population tuning into the previous final, I imagine you will be in good company watching from the comfort of your armchair.
