Since the football fans are in Philadelphia already, let me address you stay-at-home part-time fans. The weekend isn't lost; here are some suggestions. The Harvard water polo team is hosting an NCAA tournament at the IAB on Saturday and Sunday. Nearly all the top New England teams will be in action starting at 10 a.m. this morning and continuing tomorrow afternoon. Tonight, the entire 1971 U.S. Figure Skating Team will be at the Watson Rink in an 8 p.m. performance. And to top off the entire weekend, tomorrow night there's the third annual Whitman Hall...

...opponents in two sports to reckon with, a source of joy (and sometimes sorrow) to New York's football and baseball fans. Who can forget the little miracle of Coogan's Bluff, when Bobby Thomson's ninth-inning home run in the old Polo Grounds beat the hated Dodgers in a 1951 play-off and won for the baseball Giants an impossible pennant?

...father Tim bought the New York franchise in 1925 for a piddling $500. Said Tim at the time: "A New York franchise in anything is worth that much, including one for shining shoes." It certainly was. Though the football Giants were subtenants all their lives, both in the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium, the franchise made millions for the Maras. But despite handsome TV revenues and a $10 million indemnity for allowing the New York Jets to share their territory in the A.F.L.N.F.L. merger, Mara wants still more. In New Jersey, he not only will pay the same rent...
