Don't Forget About Kate

Dave Law's below post made reference to a Mara family member losing his sh*t after last week's loss. Well, I'm frankly disappointed with my fellow member of The Big Three (Two? What gives Big Swingin' D?). No mention of the Mara Family is complete without a detailed discussion of the ripest fruit of Wellington's loins, his granddaughter Kate Mara.

This delectible vixen (at right), best known to Giants fans for singing the national anthem after her grandfather's passing, is making her way in the world today as an actress. She is currently starring in the new Matthew McConaughey flick "We are Marshall." Her role? Head cheerleader (duh).

She also had a bit role in Brokeback Mountain, and is slated to appear in 2007 opposite Mark Wahlberg and Ben Kingsley (among others).

We here at The Golden Spike would officially like to offer Ms. Mara our best wishes for a very Golden 2007.

(Golden Nugget: Though blessed with the regal Mara name, Kate has the blood of two storied franchises running through her adorable veins -- her great granddad on the non-Giants side is legendary Steelers founder Art Rooney. Though TGS supports the Giants (and to some extent the Jets), The Big Three will grudgingly admit a respect for the defending Super Bowl Champions.)
