Ann Mara Injury Update: Wellington's Widow Heading To Indy

by Ed Valentine on Jan 30, 2012 3:23 PM EST in New York Giants News

You can take Ann Mara, 82-year-old widow of late New York Giants co-owner Wellington Mara off the Giants injury report. Broken shoulder and all, Mara says she will be in Indianapolis to watch the Giants face the New England Patriots in the 2012 Super Bowl this Sunday.

"If I had to crawl to Indianapolis I'd be there," Mara told ESPNNewYork.com by phone. "I have no intention of staying home. I'll be ready to go on the plane on Thursday."

Mara broke her shoulder in a fall suffered while at church the morning after the Giants defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.

Mara, of course, got lots of attention for confronting Terry Bradshaw of FOX during the championship celebration, berating him with a "hey, you never pick the Giants" jab.

Was there ever any real doubt?

Get her a uniform and a towel

Put her on the sidelines as our “12th Man”, or should I say “fan”

I'm happy she is okay and will be there....

And that deal with Terry B. is one of the funniest things I ever saw and heard….Another fond memory of the Giants…

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

When I was a kid I was an Altar Boy..I'd serve mass everyday at 6am...

Then hurry across the street to school…The Monsignor always smelled like stale booze..I’d be holding the book for him to read from and would start to get light headed…When I poured wine in his Chalice, he would take the bottle and add more to it..then I’d sprend the rest of my day trying to avoid getting my ass kicked by a bunch of old hag-bag Nuns…
It scared the shit out of me when they allowed them to replace that cardboard thing with a viel….Every Sunday on the way to Church my Mother and Grandmother would argue all the way there…pause for Mass and then argue all the way home..What a nightmare..Needless to say I retired from Church…Now it is just another set of funny memories…
