Eli, and some promotion

by Ed Valentine on Dec 18, 2008 2:00 PM EST in New York Giants News

Here are a few notes for a Thursday afternoon.

Eli Manning has been named Sporting News Pro Athlete of the Year. Probably doesn't really mean a whole lot, but it's pretty cool.

Time for a little bit of self-promotion.

If any of you guys are 'Twitter' users, Big Blue View is now available on Twitter. I'm old and I guess I don't get the whole 'Twitter' appeal, but if you are into it, now you can get it.
Big Blue View Nation now has more than 500 registered members. If you're a 'lurker' and you have been checking out the site now is a great time to join. It's also a great time to be a Giants' fan, so sign up and get in on the conversation.
Even more self-promotion. I know you guys can't get enough of me, which is why you always stop by and check out my writing about the Yankees over at Bugs & Cranks. Well, I have launched another site, Valentine's Views, which will be more personal and professional in nature. A little sports, a little life, a little about writing. Whatever I am in the mood for. Stop by and check it out.
Final thing. Don't forget to use the 'Buzz Up,' 'Digg' and 'Facebook' links at the bottom of many of the posts to promote the stuff you like. It helps grow the site, and I do appreciate it.

I have a friend who is a Twitter nut

And I must say I don’t get the appeal either. But of course, I will sign up

Giants fan from the womb to the tomb

Congratulations on 500 members Ed

This is truly the best group of Giants Folk that congregate on the internet

It's not easy being Giants fan in Philly.. but it sure is satisfying

Thank you

It’s the community, meaning you guys, that make this place what it is. It’s a friendly, generally positive, place.

You and JRS1940 have provided some great content this year and last. It has certainly made it a place that I come to a couple of times a day. If anything, it has certainly made me a more thoughtful fan and reduced the number of bridges I have thought about jumping off or bricks I want to throw at my TV by having people provide me with a better perspective on the team and their situation.

Now, lets get back to the team of 3 weeks ago and stomp on Carolina. They are a good team, but I think the Giants are more than up to the challenge.
