Giants Owner Wellington Mara Dies

The most significant figure in the history of the New York Giants has passed. Wellington Mara, the Giants’ President and Co-Chief Executive Officer died today at the age of 89.

The team released a statement, saying Mara peacefully passed away at his home in Rye, N.Y., at 9:26 a.m. He surrounded by his wife, Ann, his 11 children and their spouses, and many of his 40 grandchildren.

The last Giants game of Mara’s life was Sunday’s thrilling 24-23 victory over Denver. Team officials say that prior to the game, Coach Tom Coughlin had talked to the players about Mr. Mara, as well as the Giants’ other owner, Bob Tisch ,who is suffering from brain cancer. After the Giants won the game on an Eli Manning touchdown pass to Amani Toomer with five seconds remaining, Coughlin spoke to the team in the locker room. The players then came together in a tight circle, raised their hands and chanted, “Duke, Duke, Duke.” Mara’s nickname was “Duke.” - WCBS2

Sin City TV series on way

Sin City, Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s adaptation of the latter’s noirish graphic novels, is to be made into a TV series.

The project is one of several on a tantalising slate for a new TV production company being set up by the Weinstein brothers through their new outfit, The Weinstein Co.

The Miramax founders, who left their own firm after a dispute with parent company Disney over their desire to make larger, more costly films, look set to use all their big screen connections as they vie to make inroads in the television sphere. - Gaurdian Unlimited
