Deadspin.com has an amazing story that any football fan (especially a Giants fan) could appreciate. During the Giants’ Super Bowl celebration in New York City earlier this week, one fan snuck through several security checkpoints to get on to the field during the trophy ceremony, as well as in the locker room with the players.
As we are pulling away from City Hall, the streets are lined with Giants fans cheering for “us” and we had a police escort the entire way to Giants Stadium. That’s where things got interesting. We got off the bus and were escorted directly into the Stadium tunnel. This is where I thought I was going to get caught. I had no idea what to do next. All of the players went in the locker room and all the Mara’s said they were going up to the owner’s box for the ceremony. I had to make a decision. I then saw David Tyree walking in with his little son and decided I would act like I was with them. I walked right behind him and got right into the locker room. So now the real fun starts. I’m hanging out as if I’m a player while all the guys in the locker room are just getting each other’s autographs on the game balls and on their jerseys. This was my time to shine. I walked around and took some pictures of some of the lockers and then I got to Eli’s. I asked Eli if he could sign my ticket stub from the Super Bowl, which he did. I then asked him to sign my Super Bowl jersey, which he did. I was then ecstatic and didn’t know what to do. I even had people coming up to me asking me for my autograph. They must have thought I was Lawrence Tynes or something.
