Ian Eagle will be in the booth for the Jets-Giants showdown on Sunday, and has a great appreciation for the game given his Queens roots.
“It is a unique situation,” said Eagle, who will be calling the game on CBS alongside Dan Fouts.
“There is no other matchup like it in football. When we got the assignment, I was excited about it. … Growing up, the pre-Internet age and going to school and having debates — heated arguments — with your friends, that’s what it was all about. When you lived in New York it’s always Jets-Giants, Nets-Knicks, Mets-Yankees.
