SB Nation New York Editor's Pick
You Know You're a BBVer if...

PrintHey everyone, hope you all are well. I was sitting in school today doing a good job of ignoring the teacher when I realized around this same time last year, I discovered a excellent Giants blog called Big Blue View. This blog has provided me with great information and conversation, so in honor of my first anniversary with BBV, I have compiled a list of things that really make up our community here at the Big Blue View.
- To start the list, you know you are a BBVer if a poster says that Rhett Bomar can play every position on the field and all you do is laugh and shake your head.
- You know you're a BBVer if you roll your eyes every time there is a post saying that "Coughlin is on the hot seat this year"
- You know you're a BBVer if you can admit to disagreeing strongly with the JPP pick on the draft night open thread, and later decided that JPP wasn't such a bad pick after all in another thread. (I am very guilty of this)
- If you know that Blue Gonz is one of the wisest and most experienced BBVer's of all time
- If you have happened to drop the phrase "In Reese we trust" at one point or another
- If you just sigh and shake your head every time there is a post or link saying that the Jets/Cowboys are a sure thing to win the Super Bowl this year
- If the series "Giants by the Numbers" is one of the best things you have read in a long while.
- If you've realized that at least a quarter of the screen names on BBV are in some way related to Lawrence Taylor.
- If there are times during the course of a game that you have posted on an open thread that you want to take the play book away from Gilbride and call the plays yourself.
- If you have had the "There is only one LT" conversation with any other SB Nation bloggers
- If you are apart of the Lets pack up Sinorice Moss's bags and put him on a bus to Oakland fan club
- If you've logged on to BBV during work/school just to make sure you haven't missed anything
Hope you guys enjoyed the list and thanks to everyone for making my BBV experience awesome. Hope this blog keeps running for a long, long time.

"logged on to BBV during work/school just to make sure you haven't missed anything"
guilty as charged. Will be more fitting Friday at 10 AM, when I log back in at the office to see what everyone else wrote.
Great list (every point 100% true). This is the BEST Giants site.
P.S. We all joke about Bomar, but I am pretty sure he can kick field goals, while being the holder, and being the uprights.

You forgot the part about him wearing the striped shirt....
and making the signal that the kick was GOOD!
true
but seeing what the zebra’s have been doing the last few years, he would proberly screw up the call. He can’t be prefect all the time… or can he?

Oh school
How could I get through you without BBV?

You know your a BBVer if...
Any news reported via another media outlet must be verified at BBV before accepting it as truth and then crying/screaming/laughing…
True dat

Nice job 56!
Really enjoyed the list, especially the part about the screen names with LT, so true…

You Know You're a BBVer
If your Favorite player is NOT named; Eli, Justin, or Brandon
If you read every post by Blue Gonz
If you keep BBV open on your desktop but minimized to check for new comments
If you roll your eyes every time Andiamo708 shows up in the morning….knowing damn well he’s probably going to ruin the thread…..

I had foot surgery 2 weeks before that SB....
My foot was full of pins and was wrapped in bandages (I was still not allowed to try to walk). When that happened I jumped out of the LA-Z-Boy and about 2 feet in the air, somehow retaining the presence of mind to land on the other foot. A buddy of mine who was over to watch the game and is a doctor just looked at me and said “yeah, probably not a good idea.”
hahahahahhaa
Great story.

blue gonz is definitely an "A grade" incisive precisionist. Something and someone I admire.
I think its safe to say that many of us look at BBV as the NYG Shoalin temple and Ed as the head monk. This site is addictive man. Always looking for the next story. The next innovative fanpost. Who responded to a comment I made and why. A place where you can share your thoughts about events developing in the sports world without being hung up on before you can finish your comment. And finally, a place where you can find out about whats really going on in sports from fans who know more than the so called “experts”. definitely a breath of fresh air. Good post. rec’d.

You know you are a BBVer....
If you have debated Osi vs. Kiwi 2,491 times….just this off season alone
If you are really disappointed that they canceled the Super Bowl in 2000 (what a shame)
If you know what Ghostdini’s screen name is on ESPN
If you completely ignore Fan Shots
If you really know who the greatest NY Giants player was to ever wear #85

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is
like wrapping a present and not giving it.
So, thanks to those who have singled me out for praise.
I don’t post because I want to say something, but because I’ve got something to say.

I do appreciate the fact that nearly everyone on this site seems to
be rational in discussing differences of opinions. When we read something that doesn’t seem right we may disagree but seldom get rude.
I look to enhance and expand my knowledge and not simply try to bend everyone to my way of thinking…..except, of course, for the desperate need for us to immediately start the path back to the 3-4 defense…..LOL

True

I’ve had good debate with several people here, but it wasn’t a personal attack. It stuck to football and facts. That’s why I think SB Nation as a whole is the best site. You can’t have logical informed debates on Yahoo!, etc… This is where I come if I want to talk football, but don’t want to hear gibberish about nothing laced with profanity and insults.

Honestly they do that amongst themselves and there are 1 or 2 there that have done that with me, but for the most part I have great debate there. They know their football. I have the hardest time debating with ‘Skins fans, but that is as much my fault as theirs. I don’t really post here that often because I don’t have much to talk about here, except maybe a little Romo vs Eli convo ; )

Any conversation involving Eli usually rounds up the rivals pretty good.
BGN is such a unique blog, they literally have no mercy for there fellow fan, they’re just as, if not more likely to stick it to one of their own than to a rival fan.
And I hear ya, I don’t get into over to BTB to much, but I do love reading OCC’s posts, guys a guru.

You've earned your reputation, good sir.
Always well-researched, and to the the point.
Your post on why our division is better than yours provided me with some great ammunition for my annual Eli vs. Ben vs. Rivers debates, and your recent post about the pre-season performance of the what might now be considered the NFC Least was spot on.
Keep up the good work.

You already know my take on BGN fans.
I agree, they do know their football and you have no choice but to respect that but I truly believe that if I were at a table debating with one or more of them, fist would start to swing.

I think that's going back before I moved to the midwest
and had to take on the Blue Gonz monicker (site didn’t recognize my old one.) I’m moving again, so maybe I’ll have another handle come Sept.
i jonied bbv late
but….i’m pretty sure there is some hardcore Lawerence ‘looser’ tynes hate in this blog.
I hate Philadelphia so much.

After reading this thread.....
it’s safe to say that I’m a BBVer and lovin it. BBV and Directv’s NFL package, just what the doctor prescribed for a Gman fan that lives in NC.
You're a BBVer if you're still reading and posting here a week later
Great piece #56 4life!
