About 90 minutes before kickoff for the Giants home game against the Saints on Sunday, a small plane flew around MetLife Stadium tugging a banner behind it that read: “MR. MARA ENOUGH – PLZ FIX THIS DUMPSTER FIRE’’ Minutes before kickoff, 92-year-old Ron Freiman was on the phone with The Post reminiscing about the time he and two other fed-up Giants fans rented the plane that famously flew over Giants Stadium in 1978 during a game against the St. Louis Cardinals with a banner that read: “15 Years of Lousy Football – We’ve Had Enough!” That maneuver was credited with being at least partial impetus for Wellington Mara, then the Giants co-owner, to revamp the franchise by hiring general manager George Young. A sign was flown over MetLife Stadium before the Giants game on Dec. 8. Charles Wenzelberg John Mara sits in his owner’s suite during the Giants’ loss to the Saints on Dec. 8.

And, if they don’t improve, I’m going to get on my crutches and come back up there.’’
