Word had circulated around the media room this morning that Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan’s son had died in Afghanistan.
I don’t have any details, just that it happened. There were a lot of reporters stunned by the news.
It would a nice if you could keep Bob and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

    Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Ryan family. We can only be consoled that he was truly a hero, protecting our country so that we can enjoy the liberties and freedom in the US. How trivial today's game must seem compared to the loss of thier son. Our heart goes out to the family. All Giant fans.
