The clock is ticking toward the end of 2007, and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have made Big Blue View such a special place.

This site launched in February with a mere 660 visitors. Well, our little community is growing by leaps and bounds. Records have been set for both visitors and page views the past two months, as Big Blue View has seen a total of nearly 23,000 visitors and more than 45,000 page views.

I want to thank those of who make Big Blue View a regular stop in your daily routine. If you're an occasional visitor, we hope you'll come by more often, and we hope you'll tell your friends about us. If you like to lurk and read, sign up for a free account, join Big Blue View Nation and get in on the discussion.

Thanks again, everybody. Happy New Year!

Great job

I found the site back in July, at the time it was the only Giants blog I could find and it was a little bare-bones, but it has gotten progressively better as the season has gone along, and now it's the 3rd website I check every morning. Keep up the great work!

Oh, and in case I lose my internet for another month, Let's Go Giants in the playoffs!

Happy New Year

I am (proud?happy?embarassed? LOL) to say I now look at this site several times a day. This site is like a sports bar for Giants fans only. The debates are always well stated and intelligent, and intelligence is a damn rare thing to find on the Internet.

Wishing everyone (especially the Giants) all the best in 2008

"A sports bar for Giants fans"

I'll drink to that, since it's New Year's Eve. However, when have you ever had an intelligent argument in a bar? LOL

Happy New Year

It's been a great year and I'm ecstatic to have a great Giants blog to go to every day that I like participating in. I'll toast to the Giants having an even better 2008 than 2007! Go Gmen!

If I'm going to break them, I'm going to break them both. - LT

Giants Should Be PROUD

I had the displeasure of sitting with two NE fans Sat night. What a couple of WHINERS! "How come the Giants are playing their players"... "How come they're still playing their players". I was so proud of the way the Giants played!! One mistake by Eli was the difference and it came down to an onsides kick.

On another subject, I just signed up for the Fisher House pool being advertised on BigBlueView and it looks like a very cool pool - never seen anything like it. You wager points on all the playoff games. You have to pick winners but you can wager different amounts on different games and you can get odds when you take an underdog - from 2:1 up to 20:1. And the web site is very cool. Check it out - www.mypointpool.com

It's $25 to join but most of the money - $20 - goes to a charity that supports severely wounded vets and their families. You play for travel vouchers good for any trip, anytime - trips wherever you want to go. $3,000 is 1st place and there are a total of 20 prizes.

How I found this site.

I originally clicked here because of a reference by another blogger. Posting was a little light at that time but I checked in from time to time and eventually made a few comments. It seemed like a welcome change from the MVN blog which was overrun by juveniles who spent more time calling each other idiots than engaging in any kind of reasonable discussion.

I read and responded to a few of George Cronin's comments, whom I suspect is probably about my age, which is 60. Nearly all the other people who routinely post here have something to say which is worth reading, even Terry, the Dallas fan and that "green guy" from Philly.

George and I have, because of our long tenure as avid fans, a good historical perspective of our team and though it may sometimes be boring to you younger guys, we enjoy comparing the many teams and stars the Giants have produced over the years.

Anyway, thanks for giving us all a pleasant adult forum to share our views.

You've been here

for a while, so you know how I feel. Shouting is OK sometimes, but I want people here to have something real to add to the discussion.

Me too....

I found this site about last July after reading but never participating in the "official" Giants fan zone blog where some one mentioned this site. Been on just about every day since and really enjoy the adult attitude here, even when some of you guys want to dissagree about certain things(resting for the playoffs comes immediately to mind). Still all in all it's become a great favorite and have even come to have a sense of humor about"Terry" who originaly anoyed me to no end. To repeat 57's end , thanks for the pleasant forum and what do you have for this Thursday?
