End Of The World? Think Of What We Would Have Missed!

PrintThank goodness Harold Camping's end of the world on May 21st prediction appears to be wrong. Aside from the obvious fact that it will be nice to continue living, think of all the things you would miss as a New York Giants fan if the apocalypse truly was now.
- You would never know what team Plaxico Burress would end up with. I know some of you want him back with the Giants, but I just don't see that happening as long as Tom Coughlin is patrolling the team's sidelines.
- If this really was doomsday you would die never getting to celebrate the Giants defeating the Philadelphia Eagles again. I know you still have the bitter taste of DeSean Jackson's punt return touchdown in your mouth. The Giants will beat the Eagles again. As long as the world doesn't end first.
- Speaking of the Eagles, the end of the world would rob us of the opportunity to read the column we know Adam Schein will write about how his teammates have disrespected Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick since only four of them showed up for Vick's informal workout Thursday. You know, since Eli Manning has obviously lost the ability to lead the Giants and all that nonsense.
- If today truly did bring the end of the world, we would never get to see a Prince (Prince Amukamara, of course) play for the Giants.
- The end of the world would mean we would never know if all of those folks predicting tough times ahead for Giants' wide receiver Steve Smith were right. Or if Smith, who has constantly used social media to quell rumors about his rehab from knee surgery, can prove the naysayers wrong.
- The apocalypse would mean Barry Cofield would never get his big payday from the St. Louis Rams.
- We would never know which gunslinger, DeMaurice Smith or Roger Goodell, blinked first. You know, maybe they should just shoot it out. Winner not only lives, but takes all.
I could go on with these, but I think I should stop now. I'm sure you guys can add plenty of 'what we would have missed' ideas of your own. Feel free to go for it, just keep 'em clean. See you Sunday!

1 more BIG one.......
We would all miss out on the Giants having the chance to shove ole Rex’s foot in his mouth, while simultaneously shoving their foot up his teams ass! Talk about “Game of The Year” for giants fans.
I know that Cromartie needings as much $$$$$ as he does for his 8 kids aint gonna be there for that one, so revis can lock whoever up our other recievers are gonna torch their ass’ (just ask Victor Cruz) and if we resign Plax like Eli and I hope they do, that game might be a blowout

We would never
get to see how Tom Quinns eventual replacement works out.
Just get it done already...
But if the world DOES end today...
Do we get to see Goodell and Smith fighting over who gets to hold the pitchfork first?
Great prank
I saw that people were planning on putting full sets of clothes and shoes on the sidewalk to make it appear people just evaporated as a prank today. Too funny.
I’m going camping with the Boy Scouts later today. So we should get a great view of the mushroom cloud from up there on the mountain.
And if the world were to end today, we’d miss this Camping clown’s real funeral. Which is when we’ll all look back and laugh at his silly predictions. Based on this guy’s appearance, that shouldn’t be very long.
Go Giants!
wow
thats an awesome prank im going in to the city shortly and i really hope i see this

Nice, a fellow scout!
Go to the State Camporee?

4 people at Vicks workout
From BGN comments…
I mean seriously?
I give them both credibility because they named the same four players. Don’t you think that maybe they were the only ones mentioned because they were the only ones that are recognizable by face? Or by name?
But here we have it. One site names 4 players and says there were 15 in attendance. The other site only names the 4 players and says there were less than what Vick expected.
Either way, neither of them say "only 4 players showed up" so anyone looking objectively might guess there were a few less than 15 players. Maybe 10-12.
Apparently, 4 players showing up (one Vikings player included) to a workout where were 15 expected to show up means 10-12 really showed up. Objectively
sigh...
It would also end without the eagles winning a superbowl

well then....
bring on the rapture! hehhehe!
Yes, I am a Giants fan. Now that we got that out of the way....
IMPEACH DOLAN!!!!
I will not - lose! -Jay Z-
What we will miss?
The decay of Jerry World!
Wade Phillips induction to the HOF!
Jimmie Johnson and Tom Landry form a group that buys the Cowboys…
- Then hires Jerry as the HC. The team goes 0-16 and Jimmie & Co. fires him!
Dan Snyder finally wins his fantasy league, (the SB, but there wasn’t a salary cap)!
This could be endless… lol
Actually this is all true
we WILL never see all of these things if the world truly ends in 2012, and there is no 2011 football season.
me personally i think if inflation, then hyperinflation, then subsequently an economic collapse occurs anywhere around the next 1-2 years, it will be the end of football and basketball as we know it and a complete shutdown assuming there is no CBA at the time. Interesting, you are already hearing about players making loans. Shows that if a huge recession were to happen, not even rich athletes can flourish… heh
