The Giants and the Jets will both play in their new stadium on opening week, though the G-Men will play first. After tense negotiations between the teams, Commissioner Roger Goodell flipped a coin and decided that the Giants will take the field first at the new Meadowlands Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 12, according to the Star Ledger. The following evening, the Jets will play the season's first "Monday Night Football" game in the stadium. The Giants wanted the first game because the Jets had the final regular season game at the old stadium, and the Jets wanted it because they felt like "second-class citizens in Giants Stadium," the Post reports. The stadium might host the Superbowl in 2014.

Giants And Jets Both Get Home Games On Opening Week
Madoff's Mets Tickets On eBay... Or Not
Last night, the trustee liquidating Bernard Madoff's estate put the disgraced financier's Mets home opener tickets (well, the tickets are sort of the ones Madoff purchased) up for auction. However, the link from the Madoff Trustree website to the eBay auction is now invalid—the eBay page it brings up says, "This listing (170319289099) has been removed or is no longer available... If the listing was removed by eBay, consider it canceled." The listing was online last night (the bidding was at $1,700 around 11 p.m. for the pair of tickets in the Delta Club Gold section) and bidding was supposed to have ended tomorrow night. Mysterious! Update: The tickets are on eBay—the current bid is $1,500.
