EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Sunday was a gorgeous day in New Jersey. The weather was great. Optimistic New York Giants fans were wearing their jerseys, tailgating, and preparing to celebrate the greatest players in franchise history as the team began its 100th season of competition in the NFL.
Then, the current iteration of the New York Football Giants — wearing never-before-seen Century Red uniforms to “honor” the history of the franchise — played football.
And everything fell apart. Quickly.
Fans began booing three plays into the game as the Giants took the opening kickoff, lost 9 yards on three plays, and punted.
