New York Giants News And Notes: Sunday Morning Reading Material

He said he doesn’t think Romo will lead them to a Super Bowl. It’s not that bad.

Tollefson’s wife, Megan, also gave him something else before the Jets game, something she thought might bring him luck.

So I feel a little less crazy after reading that article on superstitions.

For me it’s same jersey over same shirt with same pants hat and shoes. And never admitting to anyone that I think the Giants are going to win. And never betting on the Giants. And if I start the game with a certain beverage, I hafta have one throughout… (this one leads to some rough Mondays.) And no sitting in the forth quarter.

Not superstitious
Just a little-stitious

I have been reading news from Carolina that that may be a possibility? Are the Giants really interested? Discuss amongst yourself.

This is the best part by far.

Before the game against the Jets in Week 16, special teams coach Tom Quinn couldn’t get the ham from his wife, as he usually did, so he sent kicker Lawrence Tynes and long snapper Zak DeOssie to get it.
On their way out of the parking lot of a Clifton supermarket, Tynes and DeOssie were nearly sideswiped by a woman in a minivan.

"So every time from that time on we waited for a minivan to come and we’d pull out in front of it," Tynes said. "I swear."

Now if that’s not a 3 stooges episode I don’t know what is! That’s bananas bro! lol

Day before the game: Giants Hat, A. Ross Jersey
Day of the game: Giants Hat, JPP Jersey, Giants Boxers, Giants slippers, Giants Lanyard with a Giants Beer can opener.

Bought my dad a Cruz jersey right before the Jets game… havent lost since.

Eli thinks it’s bad luck to lose in the playoffs after he wins the wildcard game…he just won’t let that happen.

I reallly wanted this SB becasue to me it validates the 42 one and demonstrates the Giants as top tier franchise. 3 SBs in 12 years with two tittles in the era of parity is fantastic.

JR has had some bad luck with injujries and guys shooting themselves he’s built a nice foundation. The only think I ask for him is they look to fill out the roster with football players and not necessarly athletes. A few grinders are good, I don’t mean go all NE with money ball type players but if there is a gap don’t rely on potential like they did at LB this year bring in the Blackburn types.

during the Packer game my wife brought down my 2 year old daughter in a Giant T- shirt, she got fed up with it took it off and put in on her Elmo doll and put Elmo resting leaning up on our Coffe table in our TV room, right after that Bradshaw had that run then the Nicks Hail Mary. I kept the Giants T on Elmo the rest of the playoffs right next to the coffe table. The only person that could move it was my daughter and when she was done I would quitely put back in its spot, my brother was the first to noticed I kept doing it during the Super Bowl.

I also have to give my wife credit. I thought she jinxed the Gmen after the Packer game but she knew they were going to win. Now keep in mind my wife could care less about sports and is a true girly girl so thats why this story is funny. For Christmas 2009 my wife got me the 3 SI covers from the Giants 3 Super BOwl wins and she framed them to be hung in my office. Well two months later our daughter was born and well my office has taken a back seat so those 3 frames have just been hanging in my office for 2 years. WIth my daughter getting older things have gotten easier so we’re finally commited to redoing my office and the week after the Packer game, my wife askes are the Giants going to the Super BOwl this weekend? I said no they’re two games away. She goes Oh good I bought 4 frames 2 years ago so once they win it this year we’ll be able to hang all four of them up in your office, I’ve been wanting to use that 4th frame. I freaked out when she said that, I thought she was tempting fate. She could care less and after she fell asleep after the halftime show she inoccently asked me early the next morning “did the Giants win?” I said yea, she said I told you I needed to use that 4th frame? Unfreakingbeleivable!

a shirt bearing the name of my hopeful college (visited there on the 25th of january, we won a super bowl that day in 1987) and the nicks jersey that ive been wearing since the jets game, cant go wrong

and why no one is critizing Bradshaw more when Rex Ryan would get killed for this?

Its an easy answer world….. Giants are the CHAMPS and are aloud to talk and the Jets have won jack sh*t!!!!!!!!!

Team president and CEO John Mara wore the same tie — a blue one with the Giants’ "ny" logo on it

FEAR his tie

Punter: Steve Weatherford (+7.3), NYG – Was super in the Super Bowl and throughout the playoffs, earning the highest postseason grade we’ve ever given out for a punter.
