Keith Staudohar, a Giants fan, is hopeful the team can improve from last year, where the team got off to an 0-6 start.

"I think there is a good chance they can turn it around," Staudohar said. "I am an 80 percent optimistic. They brought in a lot of players."

Staudohar said he did not think the retirement of Chris Snee would impact their defensive line too much.

Jim Annicchiarico, a Dobbs Ferry resident, is a long suffering Oakland Raiders fan. While he doesn't think the team will turn it around, he is hopeful they will be better than last year's 4-12 campaign.

"I mean they can't be much worse," Annichhiarico said.

Annicchiarico said he hopes his favorite player, running back Darren McFadden, will be healthy.
