Kevin Gilbride strolls off of the pebbly green turf inside Superdome Sports in Waldwick, N.J., ceding the practice field to a group of young girls arriving at lacrosse practice on this December afternoon.
To his right, a set of taped yellow field goal posts hang on an inflated wall. Above him in the same building is a ballet studio and something curiously named “Music For Aardvarks.” And roughly 25 minutes down Route 17 is MetLife Stadium, Gilbride’s former home with the Giants.
Gilbride may be near his ex-team, but he’s a virtual world away from the heights of the NFL.
