The co-owner clings desperately to the promise of a better tomorrow that rarely comes.
A Giants fan from the day he was born, the losing eats at John Mara just as it eats at his franchise’s fan base, and it only reminds him of the soul-sapping wilderness years before general manager George Young showed up and changed everything.
The assembly line of head coaches who could never be Tom Coughlin, the sad realization that Daniel Jones was not Eli Manning and is now an ex-Giant, the anguish of watching Saquon Barkley return as Superman with the damn Eagles and scramble egg all over GM Joe Schoen’s face … knowing full well that a meddling owner would never have let him out of the building.
Happy Thanksgivings have been few and far between lately for Mara.
