Giants Taking Shots At The Jets For The Tebow Signing

The Giants are the New York football team that wins Super Bowls and the Jets are the New York football team that wins the offseason. Only one of them comes with a trophy and a ring, yet the Jets’ trade for Tim Tebow guaranteed them another coveted offseason championship, so much so that he’s even on the brain of the reigning Super Bowl champs. Yes, Tebowmania has found its way to the championship side of town, all the way into the owners’ box. “My feelings are that I may attend a Jets game,” Giants co-owner Steve Tisch was saying Sunday as he walked through the lobby at the NFL owners meetings. The Giants are not flinching, but they also took some not-so-subtle jabs at their crosstown rivals. Giants co-owner John Mara was asked if New York is big enough for the Giants and Tebow. “I don’t know,” he said. “But the David Carr press conference will be tomorrow afternoon, too.” I asked Tisch if he thought signing Tebow was an attempt by the Jets to steal attention from the Giants. “Well, they are getting a lot of attention, so if that was one of their goals, I think they have been successful,” he said. A marketing ploy for the Jets to gain traction in the marketplace? “I can’t answer that,” Mara said. “I don’t know. The guy is a good football player and brings a lot to the table. So I can’t say that. You have to ask them.”
