'I actually got to watch that game among the crowd as well, the only other time I wasn’t in the press box while covering the team. The Daily News had two reporter passes and one photographer pass for the season and the divisional playoff round, but due to the large amount of credential requests from national media, we were bumped down to one press box pass. Reporter Steve Bradley was doing the game story and me the column so we had him use the pass. I had locker room access and could have watched the game on television in a media room in the facility, but my buddy Tom Spink had an extra ticket so I sat with him and his friends.'
