Giants scribes club Jets hacks
If the Earth seems to be spinning more smoothly on its axis this Sunday, it's because order was restored to the cosmos - no, not the soccer team - Saturday afternoon when a team mostly made up of current and former Giants beat reporters mashied their Jets counterparts, 7-0, in the annual Writer Cup golf tournament, this year held at Inwood Country Club.
Traditionally the event is held before the teams' preseason meeting, but rumor has it the Giants and Jets will be interrupting the baseball playoffs with a regular-season showdown, so I guess that's why it was played this weekend.
It was the first shutout in the history of the tournament and ended a streak of four victories in a row and a stretch of six of seven for the Jets scribes.
No word yet on whether Tom Coughlin will invite the winning players to the locker room to deliver inspirational pre-game words this afternoon.

Who is that in the picture, "Old Tom" Coughlin?
Good line, Ben!
Thanks Neil.
Did you notice you and Mushnick wrote almost identical columns today?
BTW, I read the book, In Tommy's Honor. Great book. I noticed in an old blog article that you met the author at one time. Kevin Cook I think his name is. Anyone who has any interest in the history of golf needs to read that book.
I agree Ben. That is a great book.
