Roughly 40 of the 300 athletes in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, played for New York teams — not only the Jets and the Giants, but also the now-defunct Staten Island Stapletons, the New York Yankees, the New York Bulldogs, the New York Titans (now known as the Jets) and the Brooklyn Dodgers.

We were there first.

Both current New York teams, the Jets and the Giants, won the Super Bowl before the Eagles and the Patriots. The Jets’ win was in 1969; the Giants’ first, in 1987. (The Eagles have yet to win in the Super Bowl era.)

Also on the list of Giants’ victories: two Super Bowl wins against the Patriots. The first time, in 2008, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York City and Mayor Thomas M. Menino of Boston placed a bet on the outcome. After New York prevailed, Mr. Menino sent 100 cups of New England clam chowder, 144 Boston cream pies, and other local delicacies to Mr. Bloomberg. (The food was donated to charity.)

And the last time the Patriots lost the Super Bowl, it was also to the Giants.

When’s the game?

The indoor game starts at 6:30 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday on NBC.

Here’s what else is happening:

Weather

Spring will come early, the groundhog declared. But not today.

A cool gray morning turns into a bright but bitterly cold afternoon, with temperatures falling through the 20s and a lunchtime windchill around 15.

Freezing cold tonight, clear and chilly again on Saturday, then clouds roll in on Sunday. They may rain on your Super Bowl party.
