BADMIKE QUOTE "And not to excuse NY fans either, they are probably only one small rung below the classless Beagles fans in terms of being beer swilling morons."

I think you are speaking of Jets Fans.  

Seriously....No we are not.  Ever been to Giants Stadium?  I have, many times.  If you spent any time there, you'd know we are great football fans, who respect the game and love our team.

As far as stupid drunks, you can't act up very much, even if you want to.  Security is very, very tight at the stadium, especially since 9/11.  If you even look like you're going to act up, a dozen guys in yellow shirts show up out of nowhere and out you go.  But you know what?  It doesn't happen as much as you might think.  Like everywhere, civility is on the decline and there's always people getting ejected.  But the real fans are definitely the vast majority, and are alot more interested in the game then in getting hammered and acting like idiots in the seats.  

And consider that if a season ticket holder at Giants stadium, or THEIR GUEST, does something to be asked to leave by security, their season tickets are revoked and their seats are given to the next person on the waiting list.  No appeal, no recourse.  Because of this, none of the hardcore season holders engage in nonsense.

That San Diego incident was a fluke.  Let me tell you what happened, since you are obviously uneducated on the history of this  (you are a Cowboys fan living in TX, so I don't expect you to be):

It was the last game of the season.  The Giants were not going anyplace that year, it was a meaningless game -- (It was the Dave Brown era, so every game was meaningless   ) Because of this, and also the very bad weather that weekend, alot of regular ticket holders and fans didn't show up to that game, and put their tickets up for sale.  There were suddenly alot of tickets available for the "general public" that day.  (This is almost unheard of in Giants stadium, which is sold out for every game.)  Alot of complete noodges who could care less about the Giants and wouldn't otherwise be there showed up and began acting stupid.  Luckily, a bunch of them were videotaped doing it and were prosecuted.

BTW 75 season guys lost their tickets at that San Diego game for selling them to idiots.  Served em right!

Congrats again, Jason!

I thought about entering that, but I couldn't come up with any scenario ideas.

Other than the fact that they have the shittiest coach in the NFL, I have always liked the Giants. A little. I am, of course, a 30 year Patriot fan and will remain so wherever I may go.

i dont even live in the US but will always like the NY jets no matter what. whether they be good, bad or indifferent - they will always be my team

ps. one of my "things to do" on my list, is to go and see the jets at home someday!

Well, Tiki Barber is actually quite a nice and forgiving guy. It should have been pretty clear when he left pissed off that Coughlin was killing the team.
I used to be an adamant believer that the Falcons would never amount to shit with Vick as quarterback. I hated him in college, I lambasted Atlanta for picking him (and guess who they DIDN'T pick), and I loved the fact that they based the entire team on him ala Peyton Manning. I was actually bummed when he got canned; now they HAVE to get someone else, and might be contenders.

In the last minute of a already decided game in 1987 (1988?), Buddy Ryan called a "fake" kneel down on the last series of downs.  It's customary for the QB to kneel down and let the clock run out in games in which you are comfortably ahead, to avoid injury, and generally the losing team obliges by only putting on a half hearted rush of the QB.  However, on this play, Cunningham faked the kneel down, then threw a TD bomb to his uncovered and ignored wide receiver that had raced down the field undetected.  Like I said earlier, I've never seen nor heard of this happening in any level of football since this happened 20 years ago....it was a purely vindictive, classless act by a coach who never won a playoff game and was fired for his incompetence.

You must have missed the fake punt that Sam Wyche called when coaching the Bengals called back in the late 80's/early 90's against Houston late in the fourth quarter of a game that Cinnci was leading 51-7.    Needless to say it worked like a charm and they scored a TD on it.  Sam Wyche wasn't much of a fan of Jerry Glanville at the time and did this to prove it.

Anybody watch hockey here?  Training camp has started and a few pre-season games have been played.  I already got 5 games booked for the frozen winter.

Unsolicited advice: You guys need to fire Coughlin TOMORROW.  The team is a reflection of their coach...rigid, uncreative, and unfun. I bet if they got someone in their that would loosen upa  bit, the entire organization could take a breath and start playing football....

I can't figure out why Coughlin wasn't fired last year.  He certainly deserved it.

However, the Giants are not in the bin for 2007 just yet.  They played a tough Cowboys team and a Green Bay team that has built a powerful defensive line.

Well, maybe not.  I hope things get better, but our defense looks really bad right now.  The secondary is swiss cheese, pressure on QBs is nonexistent and nobody seems motivated to actually tackle anybody.  
And the penalties!  Coughlin is supposed to be about discipline, but it seems to me we've had more penalties in the last couple of seasons than ever.
