Top 10 reasons it's great to root for the Giants

It seems that being happy about being a fan of the New York Giants, and enjoying the amazing ride they have been on in recent seasons, has been a theme for me recently.
In reality, you have to look no further than the four teams the Giants have already played this season -- and the one they will play Sunday -- for reasons why being a Giants fan in 2009 is a beautiful thing.
Here, after that lengthy buildup, is a list of 10 reasons why it's great to be a Giants fan.
- Our head coach might be in the Hall of Fame one day. The head coach of this Sunday's opponent might be heading to jail.
- The quarterbacks for our first five opponents -- Jason Campbell, Tony Romo, Byron Leftwich, Matt Cassel and Jamarcus Russell. Our guy -- Eli Manning.
- One more coach comment. Their guys -- Jim Zorn, Wade Phillips, Raheem Morris, Todd Haley, Tom Cable. Our guy -- Tom Coughlin.
- Them -- Jerry Jones, Dan Snyder, Al Davis. Us -- the Maras and Tisches.
- Most noteworthy thing the Cowboys have done this decade -- build a big video board. Most noteworthy Giants' accomplishment -- a Super Bowl title.
- The GMs for all those other teams -- who cares, he's not Jerry Reese.
- Bruce Springsteen wrote a song about our house. Those other guys well, they get to write yearly epitaphs on how their seasons end in failure.
- Those teams have cheerleaders and we don't, but that gives us an excuse to spend extra time ogling them. Oh, and we do still have Reby Sky, our favorite 'NY Giants Girl'.
- Giants fans don't have to dress like a Hell's Angel -- or a hog -- to go to the games.
- Our QB isn't on TMZ more than ESPN.
My thanks to our man Jim for helping me out with a couple of these. His, umm, warped sense of reality came in handy. Anyway, feel free to add some of your own.

LOL!!
I kinda figured some of the folks would not get past the photo. And, believe me, I’m OK with that.
great post
dont forget as a giants fan you actually look forward to the team playing on the road
oops I crapped my pants!
your team bloggers are Ed, Jim, & CJ
thanks guys. Since joining this site I am a way better fan (informed & etc.) than I have ever been before.
You play to win the game!
Not sure
if you ever planned on posting anything else on this blog ever again Ed, but there’s a possibility I may not read any of it.
I’m currently googling for instructions on how to get my computer screen to freeze up permanently on the pic above…cuz the bear is cute.
hahahahah
that is funny Jaybat…more reasons why i love this site. It goes from football to cooking instructions to cheerleader arguements (mature arguments too)
Mama there goes that … (i dont even know what to call her). but damn
Mama there goes that MAN
There's bear?
If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.
Blame Jim for that
He absolutely insisted that I use that picture. I think it hangs over his bed at night!
I learned all this
Watching the Red Zone channel this weekend.
I watched dropped pass after dropped pass.
Stuffed run after Stuffed run.
It’s good to be a giants fan.

Ed, you certainly
Have me thinking about the original Batman movie!! Where the Joker asks the question: “Where does he gets those wonderful toys?!?”…My comment: “Where does Ed get these wonderful pictures?!?”haha!!
Reby
I actually have a stash of Reby photos she sent me a long time ago. We did a reby post with a whole slew of ‘em. Search ’NY giants girl’ on the site and you’ll find ’em.
#11..
The Giants owners have a retirement plan for their players to care for them when their careers are over.
- Tom Coughlin realized his coaching style had to change, so he changed it..Think Mangini could do that?..Nope…TC brought is players back with that..and they bought in..Won a Super Bowl.
- Our guys (Harry Carson) invented the “Gatorade Dunk”!!
any excuse to run this picture, I will take. Another reason it's great to root for the Giants:
"[The Giants] beat us down. We were beat by a grown-man team, a team we want to be like one day. They came in here and took it to us. Out-manned us, out-gunned us. ... It wasn't even close." - Raheem Morris, 9/27/09
yet another reason....
The team’s kicker is leading the league in points, and is widely regarded as the weak link on the team!
Oh great caesar salad do I love that picture of Reby

I would love to see another franchise with a daughter as good-looking as Kate. I mean this girl is a die hard Giants’ fan (and a steelers fan). It’s rumored that she has it in her contract that she does not work on days the Giants have games. How can us Giants’ fans not love her?
Hmmm..yes she would be more than welcome to watch a game with me..
I would be wishing the game over to get to the “Post-game Show”..Yes indeed!!
Since Simms-McConkey is a History buff..Soon to turn 33 next week..
I vote for calling this catch “a day that will live in infammy!!”..for The Patriots
You guys love the vagina over here, huh?
I think that’s probably why I’m here so often.
Bye, Big Stew and JJ :(
Hey Simms-McConkey and Bye,dawk..
Are you guys over at Harrahs Pool Bar with Tito right now?..haha
If that's a titty bar
I haven’t been to one since my bachelor party, and before that my friend’s … sounds gay but I find those places filthy, depressing, and degrading
You play to win the game!

Not a Titty Bar...
But there are dancers…and my damn…they are lovely.

Yeah that bear is going to give "Smokey the Bear" a run for his money..
Why fight a fire when you can start one with that babe????
according to yahoo sports
we are the number 1 defense

I’m just saying
Reby should be #1
i cant stop thinking about all the illegal things i would do to her…
by GiantsReignSupreme on Oct 8, 2009 12:30 PM EDT reply actions
nahh..
you know id treat her like a lady….maybe
by GiantsReignSupreme on Oct 8, 2009 12:30 PM EDT up reply actions
So, what are you saying?
Two seperate, 2 minute drill drives or one, 2 minute drill drive with an injury timeout? lol
If she was posing in my living room during the game..
I definitely would wrench my neck from turning my head from the gameplay to her constantly..but I would accept that pain versus suffering the same injury watching Tynes muff a kick..I’d gladly go out of this world like Nelson Rockefeller..They / she had to put a newspaper over his “boner”..They didn’t even have Viagra or Extenze in those days!!
I'm sorry
But if Reby Sky were in my living room in that position, with that outfit and that bear, I’d have to check the Giants on Sportscenter to get the results of the game.
Ed is simply trying to keep his team here loose before the game..
But it’s “hard”…lol!!
Yeah, too loose until one of us goes on the IR! LOL
Ed might pull some kind of rib muscle, reading from afar!
Makes me want to dress up like a teddy bear for Halloween

as long as you don't dress up like Reby everyone here is happy
p.s. got a gal friend of mine who’s a Giants fan to join today, man is she going to get the wrong impression…
You play to win the game!

Here's another good reason
our greatest games DVD includes every playoff game from our first 2 Super Bowl seasons, our most recent Super Bowl, the two playoff wins from the season we lost the Super Bowl, and one awesome regular season game.
The Vikings greatest games DVD includes 0 Super Bowls and their “epic” win against our 2nd string last year.
"[The Giants] beat us down. We were beat by a grown-man team, a team we want to be like one day. They came in here and took it to us. Out-manned us, out-gunned us. ... It wasn't even close." - Raheem Morris, 9/27/09
I think it is a covert effort..On Ed's part to..
To convert us all into bloodhounds and Point-setters..with those pictures!!..Just make us “Muff dogs”..If we are losing a game we’ll all have that cloud over our heads containing a pretty picture..We’ll just sit on our couches with the game on the line smiling dreamingly!!..Just like that guy “Bob” on the sexual enhancement commercials..
Also...
There’s no game that I would go into thinking: We really don’t have any chance to win this.
It would save the Giants Defence a lot of time if QBs just stayed down!
