Congrats Giants fans! Was at a meeting and missed SMASH.
We have windows that open and tossed shredded paper out the window on the White Sox during the parade in 2005.

The tv is on in the boss's vacant office, so I'm checking it out there. And on my computer screen.

Thanks, brd! Would you like a hamburger?
I tried watching the NY1 stream but it just buffered every 5 second and was annoying me. I'll head somewhere at lunch to check out some of it.
I will say - I was watching the game at a friend's house which is down the highway from the stadium. Walking outside and seeing the stadium lights just perfected the evening.

I am hopeful for the Bears for 2012, but for a broken hand, we could have contended!
So I'm doing a little Oscar pool at work. A colleague from another area just walked over and handed me her picks. I know her name is Rose...didn't know it was Rose Yee! OMG she's the Asian Gypsy!!!
Tink, I agree with you about the crowds. Sometimes it's really not worth it.
It doesn't look like this crowd is as large as the crowd for the Yankees back in 2009. I remember that crowd stretched back a full city block from Broadway. From my vantage point, I can see sidewalk space right up to the barricades. Of course, the best viewing spots are full - and it IS a crowd - but it appears smaller than the last parade. I'll be interested to see what they estimate the crowd to be.
I took a bunch of photos. I can see quite a range of Broadway from my office - from the tip of Manhattan to City Hall. I'll post them when I get home tonight. (Although, with the angle of the sun, and the window glare, I don't know how well they'll turn out).
Now I just have it on TV in my office - better to see the ceremony. Most of my team has gone outside for an hour or so. Beautiful day for a parade!
Boobs, too funny.
Addy, yell down to my secretary. Tell her I need a cup of coffee.
^^ that paragraph about how many people are watching the parade is the most poorly constructed set of sentences I think I've ever posted! How many times can I use the word 'crowd' in one place?
Sheesh.
(But, I'm too lazy to go back and try to re-work it)
Somms, Will do!
What Addy wanted to say...
It doesn't look like this crowd is as large as the army for the Yankees back in 2009. I remember that congregation stretched back a full city block from Broadway. From my vantage point, I can see sidewalk space right up to the barricades. Of course, the best viewing spots are full - and it IS a mob - but it appears smaller than the last parade. I'll be interested to see what they estimate the troupe to be.
Much better!

I'm now watching on WNBC. When does the actual ceremony start?
It's supposed to start at 1.
It's taking WAY too long between the ceremony and the parade. Crowds are actually thinning considerably. (Maybe they'll be back once things start up)

OK, starting now!
Super!
I thought it was impossible for me to love Michael Strahan anymore than I already did, and then that ceremony happened!!!! Tooooo awesome! I LOVED that all players were hugging Michael but most flew by Bloomburg lol.
I had the crowd at the restaraunt I was at in hysterics. I have my moments.
Now boys, get back to where you REALLY belong.... NJ!

I went to Fox's website.
Now THAT is where the heart! the site of the full stadium makes me misty eyed.
