Giants fans, here's what you have to look forward to on Sunday: watching the Eagles — the team you've been clashing with since 1933 in the NFL's oldest rivalry — strut their puke green uniforms onto football's biggest stage. And Jets fans, you'll be contemplating the fact that a coach you had under contract for exactly one day in 2000 — Bill Belichick — will be vying for his sixth Super Bowl victory with Tom Brady, a quarterback he drafted soon after he dumped you.

Enjoy!

Listen to the story for more details on this year's lamentable state of play for the New York fan.
