I get it: There will be no winners at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, even if the Jets and Giants manage to avoid playing to a 70-minute tie. The Jets are nowhere. The Giants are headed nowhere, if they aren’t already there. When bad football meets bad football, the odds of something meaningful are almost impossible to calculate.
Still …
As intramural rivalries go, this really is the best one we have, because the games happen so infrequently. The Mets and Yankees play four times most years, six times some years, and already met in the ultimate way possible, a World Series nearly (gulp) 20 years ago.
