Knock off the crap, guys

I hate to act like Big Brother, and I hate to take away from the merriment following Sunday's thrashing of Seattle, but I have to address some of what went on between fans of this site and members of 'Field Gulls' for the past few days.
Since this site began I have asked members of Big Blue View Nation to act with class. If you want to comment, have something of quality to say -- and keep it civil.
That did not happen the past few days, and I'm not happy about it. If you want to go to an opponent's site and comment, fine, I have no problem with that. But, if you go there looking for a fight, trying to antagonize or rub it in I won't defend you. I don't tolerate fans of other sites acting like that here, and I won't tolerate you guys going to other sites and intentionally pissing people off.
A couple of you -- and you know who you are -- went over the line the past few days. Knock it off!
If you want to comment on another site, follow 'SBaker's' lead. Be friendly, offer a reasonable discussion and behave. Remember, you represent this site when you go to other blogs as a Giants fan.
This has always been a friendly, classy site. I want it to stay that way.
Here is some post-game reaction:
- Seahawks' coach Mike Holmgren was impressed by the Giants, as well he should have been. "Well, that was what we call a good old-fashioned you-know-what. I believe we’re a better football team than that, but give the Giants credit. ... They got us pretty good. They’re a talented team, and they got rolling and we couldn’t stop them."
- Seattle linebacker Lofa Tatupu praised the Giants' offensive line. "I think you guys have to start looking at what that offensive line is doing, rather than just giving him (Brandon Jacobs) all the praise. He’s a very good running back in terms of his size and his speed, but they are opening some pretty big holes for him."

Revenge game
Well, that felt good. Hope the extracurricular activities are over because that was just a beautiful win. I never thought I’d see the day when I could seriously say I think the Giants are the best team in the NFL less than half way in the season. 1986 is the only time I’ve seen the team look this good. Yes, I know we the won a SB. But this is different. Dominating good teams like this doesn’t happen very often. We need to soak this in. We’re on the verge of something here.
And now that I’ve jinxed the crap out of us … sad to see that there was no Dallas meltdown & happy to see Philly lose at home. At the same time, Skins are lookin’ real good.

the tender of that blog
deserves a little bit of smack, but he’s probably crying himself to sleep tonight

Well
You can do it without being antagonistic, that’s all.

West Coast football
you know, I always thought it would be awesome to live on the west coast for the simple fact that they literally can wake up to football, and the late games are over at a reasonable hour. Today, I saw the downside: imagine waking up to your favorite team getting smacked around like that? That must suck….I am always in a bad mood when the Giants lose, but at least I don’t have to spend the rest of the day thinking about it. Yikes…
By the way, I’ve heard a lot of talk today about the early start times for west coast teams playing on the east coast and how it’s unfair. I’m gonna ignore the fact that even if they are on west coast time the game is still only starting at 10am, and these guys are professional athletes who start practicing at 7am (in college anyway) even on off days. What I’m gonna focus on instead is how come I’ve NEVER heard that argument before today? The Giants have played teams from the west coast before, and I’m relatively positive that they’ve lost some of those games in the past. Are the Seahawks just using that as a convenient excuse, or is this something that has seriously been talked about before, and I’ve just missed it?

Time change
That stuff is just an excuse, and it’s lame. When New York teams go out West they deal with the time change, only in reverse, of course. It isn’t easy, but that’s how it is.

Okay the Giants are pretty good.
This division is incredible. My boys had a close call and right now where only the 3rd best team in this division. The skins are looking really good as well. Can’t wait for November 2nd.

NFC East
It’s a crazy division. I’m enjoying the ride, but I know it could end.

I'm actually sorta looking forward
to the second half of the season, instead being drenched in the usual optimistic dread that starts on friday early in the season and becomes 24/7 by week 12. I can’t remember a Sunday night that’s been so relaxing; no stress hormones to flush out, no need to bang nails into the Randell Cunningham dummy I keep in the closet.
But really, you’d think that someone who writes a 2000 word opus on how the soon to fall Giants weren’t all that good could take a little ribbing when he gets an F on his thesis.

Final thoughts
Iggles play the Gulls on Nov. 2,, that should make for an interesting conversation

I'd like to apoligize
for the term “Sh!thawks”. One of the things I love about this current Giants team is that they do their talking on the field. Even Big Mikey’s antics have their root in good sportsmanship and a love of the game. There’s definitely something I can learn from that example.
That said, it was pretty satisfying to watch that game today. The team was firing on all cylinders and I can’t wait for next week.
I’m still a little apprehensive and nervous about the rest of the season though. We have a fairly soft schedule until week 9, and then it gets pretty tough. Also, watching Buffalo lose to Arizona toady didn’t ease my tensions at all. Arizona got manhandled by the Jets, but didn’t seem to have much difficulty with the Bills. Until that Lombardi trophy is above Eli’s head again, I won’t relax. Look what happened to the last team that went undefeated in the regular season.
I have faith in our boys, but I don’t want to start sounding like a Dallas fan ;P

W/ regards to the Tatupu qoute:
one of my favourite things to shout out at the TV in my bar is “that’s a hole big enough to drive a Brandon Jacobs through!”
“that’s my quarterback!” in a choked voice whenever Romo screws up is a close second.
