one of the fun things about being a giants fan and living directly on the hudson are the chance encounters -- be it steve spagnuolo in the a&p or antonio pierce at fleming's.
today i was headed home from errands when traffic came to a sudden stop.
two men were having a fistfight in the street -- a wild-swinging, few-punches-landed donnybrook like you see at an eagles game.
pulled my car to the side of the road and, just as i was getting out, a dark SUV with tinted windows pulled up in front of me. out came jessie armstead, former giants linebacker, current giants coach.
he grabbed one guy, i grabbed the other, and we tried to talk some sense into each. my guy spoke a language akin to russian; i'm not sure.
calm eventually prevailed, and the rock-'em-sock-'em twins went their separate ways.
"merry christmas," i told jessie. he smiled.
"you, too."
