The annual meaningless game played for an even more meaningless trophy of Snoopy often sees its participants behaving like the dog’s owner.
Over the years, the annual preseason intra-stadium game between the Jets and Giants has led to some unusual decisions and unfortunate injuries, as detailed a year ago by Gary Myers of the New York Daily News. From former Giants cornerback Jason Sehorn tearing an ACL while returning a kickoff in 1998 to current Giants quarterback Eli Manning being made to look like an extra in The Walking Dead in 2010 to former Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez suffering a season-ending shoulder injury that ended his career in New York, the teams all too often play the role of Charlie Brown trying to kick Lucy’s football.
