I'm Done.

by SteveSmithIsATraitor on Aug 30, 2011 8:19 PM EDT

This is it for me. After watching the absolute and utter debacle of the 2011 Giants preseason, it pains me to come to this conclusion. I never thought it would actually come to this, but the past few seasons have taken a toll on myself, my family, and the Potter's Pub on Hempstead Turnpike. Giants fans, I know you will carry on with your daily business after reading this, but hopefully some of you will have the revelation I have come to accept.

I have decided to retire my fan hood for the New York Giants.

It has been an amazing 11 years for me. I will never forget the great moments I have had with *my* team. 1997 NFC East champions, Superblow appearance with Kerry Collins as our QB, Eli Manning to Plaxico Burress against the Patriots...all amazing.

I remember my first game at Giants Stadium. It was in 2005, where Eli Manning orchestrated a comeback victory over the Denver Broncos. The atmosphere was something to behold. The brittle cold air, the rowdy fans, the chants of "defense!" As a growing lad, my appreciation for the Big Blue grew to astronomical heights when I went there.

However, times have changed. Collapses have come into fruition and are tainted in Giants blood forever. My Giants heart is not sturdy enough anymore to handle the disappointment of this upcoming season. There is a clear fact that the Eagles will win the NFC East, the Jets will win the Superblow, and Eli Manning will throw 30 INT's this season. There is no hope, there is no light.

Therefore, with all of these factors considered, my fanhood has been officially rescinded. I will no longer root for the G-Men, instead, I will become a Jets fan. Their team is the hot ticket in New York, and clearly will have the better season because everyone is saying so. It was so obvious to see, how could any Giants fan still support their team?

Please join me Big Blue View: Resign your fandom for the Giants, because they will have a bad season this year, and the Eagles will most surely, without fault, win the NFC East.

Sincerely,

DUMBASS ESPN/NFL NETWORK BANDWAGONERS WHO ACT LIKE FOOLS BECAUSE OF ONE PRESEASON GAME. GET A BRAIN.

But if you leave now

you will miss JRs’s blimp ride…. lol

Hey coughlin, heard there’s an opening in Cleveland. You should fit right in….. Loser!
I think Coach Coughlin should be fired! How come there are no locals in that line-up. Nothing to give the fans a name they know, nobody on that roster that went to Rutgers University, St Johns or any team from New York or New Jersey. And if the locals can’t get a shot on the franchise from the state they live in, why are we fans going to these games. To see some other state, and see our players play for foreign teams (other states) this is the first time in 20 years, the Giants don’t have any locals on their roster.

The good thing about Potter’s Pub is that Nassau County Medical Center has a good pysch ward a block away. Of course, if you give the cop that takes you there a hard time, he might just bring you to the county jail next door.

Classic, you really had me going. Like everytime I talk to my old man I ask him about the Giants he says "F**K THEM! lol.. the guy has been a fan for 50 years and after the eagle collapse he was seriously considering not watchin this year but he has watched the pre-season he cant resist.

As someone who lived through the 1970s.....

…..The thing I found funniest about this is that anyone would walk away from Big Blue now for any reason whatsoever. The 2011 Giants are on our longest streak without a losing season since 1963.

Post Parcells fans just can’t imagine how much we sucked….and for how long. We went into every season hoping that maybe someday our kids might see us win the division, let alone the Superblow.

I was lucky

I was spared the 70’s and I really didnt start watching closely until the early 1980’s, but then the 90’s some flashes toward the end but tough!
