Second Chance Greatness
The US Open at Flushing Meadows gave me the chance to have a true New York City experience filled with stars and one of the NYC’s most historic sporting events… Where else can you go in the Big Apple where backhands, smashes and faults aren’t followed by flashing lights and police sirens?

It was third and seven. Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers were on the Minnesota 16-yard line and threatening to score. As the play clock wound down, the veteran quarterback read the defense and changed the call on the field at the last possible second.
Then came the snap. Farve dropped back and, ever the gunslinger, fired cleanly...
