Osi Umenyiora spent the past two seasons wearing a Falcons uniform on the outside, but inside he was still cloaked in blue. At his retirement ceremony on Wednesday, the defensive end recalled being on flights with his Atlanta teammates traveling home from road games and tuning in to watch the Giants play.
"I was openly cheering for the Giants on a plane full of Atlanta Falcons and they would be looking at me like 'Is this guy out of his mind?'" Umenyiora said. "I just couldn't help myself. It was the Giant in me."
Umenyiora spent the first 10 years of his career - and the final day of it - as a Giant.
