The Giants finalized their preseason dates and times (no four-hour TV special?!):
• Aug. 14 vs. Jets, 7:30 pm
• Aug. 22 at Browns, 1 pm (can't say I can recall an afternoon preseason game)
• Aug. 29 vs. Patriots, 6 pm

Giants-Browns joint practices coming this August in Cleveland.
Also, the final preseason game in '99 (against the Ravens in Baltimore) was rescheduled for late morning due to a schedule conflict with the Orioles.
Giants used to play day-time annual pre-season games against Iggles in Princeton late 60s-early 70s. These were the only games my father, brother and I got to see Giants play in person together. Then there was the infamous Giants-Jets preseason game in 1969, maybe my lowest moment as a Giants fan. I think Allie Sherman was fired the next day.

I am so glad a joint practice is scheduled again this pre-season. It gives players a great opportunity to practice with live opponents.
They got shut out 21-0.
I remember Roger Lewis dropping a pass over the middle and deciding I didn't like him, an opinion that never changed.
Also remember Donte Deayon (who I wanted to like) getting beat for a TD.
Deayon is still on an NFL roster (Rams), remarkably enough, even though he has only appeared in 3 games since leaving the Giants in 2018.
Lewis, predictably, drew no interest from the rest of the league when he was finally let go by NYG.

Jim and Clatterbuck, I was at that first ever Giants/Jets game at Yale Bowl, Woodstock weekend. That was my priority over that history making musical event..😎
It was played on 8.17.69, my birthday..I think they slaughtered us 37-14 and iirc, the Jets’ Mike Battle ran back the opening KO for a TD..
And yes, Allie was fired the next day with Webster being hired as our next HC..
Who ever thought anyone would be able to make such an assertion!
