Giants as Halloween characters

Happy_halloween_medium

Today is Halloween, so let's have a little fun. Let's throw out some thoughts on who various members of the Giants should be if they were to go out trick-or-treating this evening.

Eli_superman_175_medium

  • Eli Manning has to be .... Superman. The miraculous throw to David Tyree. The fourth-quarter wizardry that is becoming part of his lore. Besides, it gives me a chance to link to this fabulous Ryan Parker song about about Eli.
  • Plaxico Burress should be ... The Riddler. That's because the star Giants wide receiver is so damn confusing no one can figure him out.

Jacobs_hulk_175_medium

  • Brandon Jacobs would be  ... The Incredible Hulk. There is no one quite like the bruising Giants running back.
  • Kevin Boss would be ... The Big Bossman from WWF glory. Who else could he be?

Tuck_thing_200_medium

  • Justin Tuck would be 'The Thing,' the impenetrable, super-strong, super hero from 'Fantastic Four.'
  • Ahmad Bradshaw would be comic book super hero 'Plastic Man.' Going a bunch of different directions at one time, and impossible to pin down.

Unclefester_medium

  • Uncle Fester would be Giants' kicker John Carney. Or, is it Carney who should be Uncle Fester?
  • Derrick Ward would have to be ... Robin. He's definitely the understudy, and since 'Hulk' doesn't have an understudy Batman's wing man was the best I could do.

Mad_scientist_caricature_175_medium

  • Steve Spagnuolo has to be ... The Mad Scientist. The superb defensive coordinator has tons of tools at his disposal, and he cooks up lots of intriguing ways to use them.
  • Jeff Feagles would have to be ... Moses. That's because he's been around since pretty much the beginning of time. Wasn't it a Feagles punt that parted the Red Sea? 'Kudos' to 'jrs' for coming up with that one.
  • Lawrence Tynes would be .... Wally Pipp. I don't know what he would use for a costume. Maybe just not showing up would do the trick.

Obiwan_200_medium

  • Tom Coughlin would be ... Obi Wan Kenobe. He is the Giants hard-nosed old wise man. He has been through the wars and now he is better for it.
  • Andre Woodson would be ... a yo-yo. The rookie quarterback keeps getting yanked on and off the team's practice squad.

Batman_200_medium

  • Mathias Kiwanuka would be ... Batman. He is always swooping in, spreading his wings and spoiling the party for the opposition.
  • Amani Toomer would be ... an Eveready battery. He just keeps going, and going, and going.

Pic_inspectpath_medium

  • James Butler would be ... Inspector Clouseau. He screws up all the time, but everything always seems to turn out just fine in the end.
  • Steve Smith has to be ... Ozzie Smith. He's about the same size, and they both catch everything.

Gandalf_medium

  • Jerry Reese would be ... Gandalf. He is, we know, a personnel wizard.

I'm sure you guys have your own thoughts on this subject. Feel free to have some fun with it.

Oh, and 'Kudos' to my buddy Chris for the Photoshop work on some of the images.

Tecmo Bowl

Still one of the greatest sports video games of all time

I can still hear the touchdown song in my head

LOL!

Great post! My favorite has to be Butler … good call.

How about Coughlin as General Patton? TC is too rough around the edges to be Obi Wan. Plus as with Patton, TC was disgraced (close to being fired) but turned things around.

C'mon! Boss should be.........

…..Springsteen!

Nice call on Butler, though. Definitely my favorite, too.

Tynes could be Charlie Brown

He keeps trying to kick that football and Lucy(Coughlin) keeps pulling it away.

We're only gonna score 17 points?

Perfect!

I think Jacobs is too skinny to be the Hulk

you gotta go with a guy like Chris Snee or another OL men.

In Romo we Trust

I'm going as Romo

I got the fake splint and now all I need is to have my girlfriend to put on a blond wig and act like a bimbo.

LOL!!

Terry, I wouldn’t expect you to be anyone else.

If Romo became a free agent

and signed with another team, what would you do? I feel like your world would be in turmoil haha, especially if he had to play against the Cowboys!

By far my favorite Giant that I really got to follow was Strahan, but probably my second favorite was Jessie Armstead. In fact, that might be selective memory on my part, b/c I think when I was younger I actually liked Armstead a bit more than Strahan, and it sucked that he ended up with the Redskins, but I still rooted for him to do well. But defensive players are different from QBs – you can still root for them on other teams without rooting for the team they’re on. With QB’s though, pretty much if they do good the team does good. Would be an interesting spot to be in.
