Robert Saleh has officially been baptized. No, it has nothing to do with a splash of water on Sunday. Instead, the New York Jets head coach has been birthed to New York City, Madison Square Garden style.
Some of the city’s newcomer traditions include first pitch at Yankee Stadium or Citi Field, a presentation at City Hall (see Brett Favre circa 2008), and, of course, big-screen recognition while attending a New York Knicks or New York Rangers game at The World’s Most Famous Arena.
The fine people at the Garden recognized Saleh Wednesday night during the Knicks’ Game 2 opening-round NBA playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks.
