The season was a very poor one, with the Giants finishing with a record of 2–8–2, worst in the NFL. The 1947 season was also unlucrative to team owner Tim Mara, with a payroll ballooning to $286,000 — nearly triple that of just two years previously — while facing stiff competition at the gate from the New York Yankees of the rival All-America Football Conference (AAFC).Barry Gottehrer, The Giants of New York: The History of Professional Football's Most Fabulous Dynasty.
