What was stunning was the swiftness with which Mara — and, to a lesser extent, his partner, Steve Tisch — fell out of favor among their most loyal customers.
Both Mara and Tisch succeeded their late fathers atop the Giants’ corporate flow chart in 2005. Within their first seven years, the Giants won two Super Bowls. But then the ground grew unstable, then it vanished altogether. There was one season of prosperity, in 2016, then a nonstop blur of lousy players and overmatched coaches and incompetent front office workers, and losses, dozens and dozens of losses, piled up so fast and so effortlessly that the Giants a year ago were a mess.
That was the shocking part of the backlash last year. You could always question the decisions the Mara family made — Wellington certainly made his fair share of mistakes, of course, and oversaw much of the barren stretch from 1964-80 when the Giants managed to avoid the playoffs every year. John has certainly made his. “I think you know me well enough to know how much the losing eats away at me,” John Mara said a year ago.
Also? We know a thing or two about lousy owners in New York. No need to retrieve the old pile of names, they know who they are , and so do the fans. Even in the darkest recesses of the past few years, it was hard to reconcile that various precincts of Giants fandom believed that. John Mara , and Steve Tisch pose with Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen at their introductory press conference.
And good for John Mara. It isn’t just talk with him, about how deeply this team means to him. It isn’t easy to watch him during these games, the highs and lows and fickle nature of bounces and whistling twisting him into a pretzel. When he makes his postgame locker room rounds he often looks as exhausted as his players. But you won’t be alone. Make book on that.
