A day with the jets.

In November 21, I spent with my friend Manu a big part of the day in New Meadowlands (New Jersey) to see the game JETS against TEXANS.


How to make a great tailgate food on the New Meadowlands Stadium parking, Sunday morning during football season? Standing in front of the grill, wearing the team’s Jets colors, a sandwich in one hand and a cold beer in the other, does life get any better than that ?



















And what a surprise! Just before the game, we saw the United States Army jets flying over New Meadowlands Stadium.



But don't forget for a good game the New York Jets Cheerleaders!



















And now the game !!!!


 









Santonio Holmes caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from Mark Sanchez with 10 seconds left, lifting the Jets to an unlikely 30-27 comeback victory against Texans.

New York City Marathon

This year, there were 45,344 runners who participated in the 2010 New York City Marathon.
Every November, the first sunday, throngs of runners gather at the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, and crowds of spectators line the route that snakes through Brooklyn and the western edge of Queens before dipping into Upper Manhattan and the Bronx and ending in Central Park.

























The trailer from the documentary: "Run For Your Life".



"...This documentary, "Run For Your Life" offers a salutary and touching reminder that the race, like nearly everything else great about New York City, was largely the creation of an odd, stubborn visionary.
Until his death from brain cancer in 1994, Fred Lebow was more than just the director of the race and the president of New York Road Runners... An immigrant from Romania (where he was born Fischl Lebowitz) with a background in the garment business, Lebow helped turn running from a solitary and eccentric pursuit into a major sport and a staple of American culture..."
