Giants’ Joe Judge says wife Amber Meesey lives ‘like a widow’ during holidays

Joe Judge has made one thing clear: Football first, family second.

The new Giants head coach has been described as an intense, straightforward person, and that mentality doesn’t relent even during the holidays.

“[My wife lives] like a widow,” Judge said to the Boston Globe’s Nora Princiotti recently.

Judge’s diligence and perspicacity draws striking parallels to Jets head coach Adam Gase, who once prioritized a meeting with Peyton Manning over attending the birth of his son Wyatt.

Judge, 38, is married to Amber Meesey, 38, whom he met while attending Mississippi State.
