Hynoski teaches TD dance on-air

Dan Salomone — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 15:46:48 +0000

The set of Fox 5’s “Good Day New York” received a special demonstration Wednesday morning from Giants fullback Henry Hynoski, who showed off the touchdown dance he unveiled in the regular-season finale against Philadelphia.

It’s called the Hy-noceros, and all it takes is a horn, three kicks, and a roar.

“It’s pretty simple, but it worked out,” Hynoski said on the morning show.

Hynoski is one of five Giants taking over guest anchoring duties this week on the station. Defensive tackle Chris Canty and punter Steve Weatheford began the week, and tight end Martellus Bennett and safety Stevie Brown will help host on Thursday and Friday, respectively.

“We would much rather be playing football right now, believe me,” Weatherford said about watching the postseason. “I went through [winning the Super Bowl] one year ago. It’s so fresh in my mind…It wasn’t until right now that I really appreciated how special that really was.”

Anchoring the sports for @myfoxny with @DukeCastiglione and @rosannascotto n having an absolute blast! Thanks guys!! http://t.co/rirdzIRc—
