The Giants Parade, Through The Lens Of A Guy Who Got Kicked Out Of It

I am a Giants fan, but I'm also fascinated by the human condition, and I happen to think nothing is more fascinating than a million people brought together by nothing more than a football team and the rare socially acceptable opportunity to get drunk before breakfast. It was with this in mind that I set off for Lower Manhattan this morning, with zero ideas for my "coverage" and even less forethought of how to make it happen. Would you be surprised if I told you the whole thing was a disaster, and that I was forcibly removed from Broadway by an NYPD sergeant after five minutes?
