Giants Talking Too Much?

PrintAre the New York Giants talking a little too much heading into Super Bowl XLVI Sunday against the New England Patriots? Actually, let me phrase that another way, since with all the cameras, microphones and media requirements of Super Bowl (hello, Osi, nice of you to join the media circus) players and coaches have to talk. A lot.
The better question is, are the Giants actually saying too much when it is their time to talk?
ESPN's Dan Graziano wrote today that "the Giants have been yapping for weeks." Is that really true? Maybe the Giants have talked more than we're accustomed to, but that has also come during their best stretch of football in four seasons. So, maybe they have been entitled to act, and speak, life they feel good about themselves.
Defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul has been particularly brash this week, saying New England's Tom Brady "is just a quarterback. It's not like he is God" and hinting that Brady felt pressure that did not exist.
"I think it won't have much impact on his performance, because ... if you look at Week 9 when we played them, it's like he felt us," he said. "We went back on the film, we watched the film and we didn't really rush as we can as a defense. ... He was throwing balls on the ground and stuff."
JPP isn't necessarily wrong. I can remember a couple of plays on which Brady spun away from pressure that didn't exist.
Mario Manningham and Victor Cruz haven't necessarily been wrong this week when they have let their excitement show over matching up with Patriots receiver turned nick cornerback Julian Edelman, a matchup they have plainly said they know they should win.
No doubt it makes for better headlines when guys say things that can be considered bulletin-board material, even borderline bulletin-board material. It certainly spices up the week.
I would, however, rather have the Giants keep some of those thoughts to themselves.

I want them to be confident.
It’s a thin line, you know? I feel like this is how the Giants always are and the media is overblowing it this week.
JPP can say whatever he wants, i think hes going to be on beast mode. Coughlin and Eli are staying humble, they will lead us where we need to go.

confidence in the press sometimes seems like cockiness, but at the end of the day, we’re just hoping our team plays better (and scores more points) than the other.
"Oh sir, the Giants of New York took on the Packers of Green Bay. And in the end, the Giants triumphed by kicking an oblong ball made of pigskin through a big "H". It was a most ripping victory."
There's a fine line
between confidence and arrogance. As long as the Giants are doing their best John Madden imitation by spewing the obvious, they are on the right side of that line. Since they’re not taking shots at the Patriots they have done nothing wrong.

Agree. They are showing Patriots respect and not trashing them. They are confident that they will win and that is the correct attitude to have.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
They are fine.
in SB42 they arrived at the airport wearing black suits ‘to the Patriots’ funeral’.
This is not the 2007 team.

agreed
I think this team has seen stuff on tape they feel very comfortable in being able to capitalize on. Its almost laughable compared to who theyve already beaten. I just hope they keep the fire burning b/c …..as we all know…..on any given sunday

Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
I would have cared had it been at any point during the reuglar season.
Don’t have a problem right now. Why?
1) They are in the SB, they earned the right to talk.
2) They are in the SB, if you need bulletin board material by now, you deserve to lose.
3) They are in the SB, they are required to talk for days on end about the same stuff. This kind of stuff will come out.
4) They are in the SB, they need to be confident
5) They are in the SB. Period.

Great points
what do they have to lose?
A bunch of talking heads will attribut a loss to overconfidence so they can have something to talk about on talk radio to rile up callers.
Dan Graziano, I think you mean this guy
Eli is our King!
There is no such thing as "talking too much"
when you’re talking about Super Bowl week. There is nothing but cameras and microphones in these guys’ faces for days on end before the game starts. What other event in the world has something specifically called “Media Day”? Everybody’s talking too much because there are far too many questions being asked. That’s the Super Bowl for ya.
Yes, what are they supposed to say? They are doing fine and having fun.
This is not the 2007 team.

Oh, you know what,
…call me Captain Elite. Yeah, I like that

I remember reading your signature back in November saying to myself what a dream that would be NY Wins 46! Now we are 2 days away. I’m still in shock
"We are only going to score 17 points?" No Tommy Boy only 14.
will your own user name take a -11 suffix?

Tom Brady "is just a quarterback. It's not like he is God" and hinting that Brady felt pressure that did not exist.
1) Tom Brady is just a QB
2) It’s not like he is God – If JPP is wrong on this we have no hope anyway
3) Every QB we faced felt phantom pressure when we played our way. People underestimate our physical nature cause we aren’t thugs.
Can’t get excited about this. If he said Tom Brady is a football God and we have no chance, I’d be up at night worried.
Eli is our King!
this may sound harsh but it's really just a fact: Graziano is a joke

he purposely tries to push buttons.
which is fine…i mean he does work for ESPN
but I’ve never seen someone adamantly try to defend such nonsense. even when teh giants have basically proved him wrong time and time again.
just look at his record picking games (no spread either, just games). he’s .500.
I really don’t even consider him a “football” guy. he’s just another shock value writer sent to rile up people

Well in fairness
he only picked NFC East games.
Even Jimmy on his site had an awful pick record under those circumstances

Phil Simms expressed concern, too
Said he couldn’t believe how confident they were. When asked if they were “over confident” he didn’t say anything.
I can’t believe Coughlin would let them get over confident.
Anyone have a link or details of that Simms quote?
Saying he could not believe how confident they were good be a very good thing but you stated he “expressed concern” which implies he thinks they are over confident.
to be fair Ed, JPP did praise Brady
the full quote about him is "a great quarterback, but at the end of the day he is just a quarterback. It’s not like he is God."

nothing at all
Mike Tomlin said earlier this week that teams have to get the notion of Brady as a god out of their heads. Some teams it takes a quarter to realize it but it may be too late then. The Giants know this already and have since SB42.

Yes the are
What happened to the “talk is cheap play the game” mantra? I realize that part of this is a media contrivance, but still this game is by no means a done deal pass rush or not. Belichik isn’t going to his 5th SB because he’s a chump. this is the guy who beat the Greatest Show on Turf. I just don’t want to see confidence turn into hubris.

What the hell are they supposed to say on media days when they are asked direct questions. They are not trashing. They are praising the Pats in fact.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
The problem is you haven't the time or luxury of listening to the players interviews..
In their entirety..the shithead media whores parse three quarters of what answers they get and then ‘pimp’ them into articles…If they print everything that is said..There would be no story for them to scrape a few bucks out of their sewer..I watched every single interview, all week..There’s not one Goddamned thing players from either team say that could be considered controversial..nothing..What are they all supposed to say..We suck and are going to lose..Fortunately I’m retired so I can listen to all of these interviews and then read how they get twisted out of context by these asshole reporters..I’m so glad the players are locked down now and don’t have to endure that crap from these morons..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Agree...
Ed, I’m with you. I’m glad they are confident but I’d rather they keep it to themselves. Makes me more nervous than I already am. Part of it taking things out of context. But the Patriots are facing similar questions and we aren’t hearing near as many one-liners out of them. Unfortunately this will be part of the story line if the Giants lose. If they win, we will not hear any more about it.
The reason why the Pats are not giving out one-liners
is because every question they answer is about Gronk’s ankle

it will be because they got beat by a HOF coach and a Top 5 All-Time QB. Not because JPP, Cruz, etc made a few harmless comments about the Pats.

I think the Giants should answer every question with
Brady is a God and Belichick is a genius
So as someone said in another thread
They have eleventy billion press conferences / media sessions and it’s news that they are talking? And it’s the press themselves who try to goad out anything even the least controversial that are complaining?
As a certain 85 might himself say, “Child please!”

ESPN is desperate for some kind of controversy this week
I blame them for the most part, they deliberately ask questions to try to get controversial soundbites. Instead of analyzing the matchup, certain news outlets prefer to focus on the drama because they don’t really know that much about football.
I remember it being pretty much the same in Super Bowl XLII what with the Plax “guarantee” plus I’m sure there was a lot more hooting and hollering we’ve since forgotten about.
I think the NFL really wants 24/7 coverage
to be the norm for the superblow. I cant believe I am saying this but im getting tired of reading and seeing the same stories over and over. If the Giants werent playing I couldnt watch espn or nfl network. Too bad im not a bigger fan of Peyton’s neck or this week would be perfect.
I have not yet begun to procrastinate
agree 1,000,000%
there is just WAY too many interviews. They have an entire Media Day followed by 2 consecutive days of media meetings. If it werent the Giants, I would have been sick of it by Monday morning.

This is not the 2007 team.

fail by me
What could they possibly have forgotten to ask on the first media day? & if they didnt get it on the 2nd day, thats too bad. I would much rather prefer if we could just let these guys get as much time to prepare as possible so we get good competitive football

Giant Introduction
Just wanted to introduce myself by re-posting a response to Bobbiblue that I had written last week but had to wait for my account to become active. Not a bandwagoner… but a legacy! Go ahead and talk Giants. Be confidant. Now go back it up! I look forward to many more Giant memories.
Superbowl XXI Last Memory
I have been reading BBV for a couple of years now but I had never created an account until now. Bobbi you have been one of my favorite reads and your memory of not being able to watch the game with your dad inspired me to now to share mine as well. Matter of fact, all BBVers tales played a part. I was 15 years old and watching sports wih my dad was a big part of my life with him. He oversaw the concession stands in many sports arena across the east coast so we saw many sporting events in person. Being from New York originally it was mostly the Yankees but the Giants were his favorite football team. I didn’t care but to spend time with him. I remember how excited he was during that game and how we cheered and jumped and celebrated the first Giants Superbowl he ever saw. Unfortunately, it was also his last. He died 3 weeks later while on a business trip at the young age of 38. 25 years later I still get a lil misty thinking of that last big event in our lives together. Now I am ready to watch the Giants in the Superbowl yet again. This time with my son who turns 16 on Superbowl Sunday but never knew his grandfather that inspired my love of Big Blue.
I'm in a ny football state of mind!

I have been saying this all week
Most of the Giant comments over the past week have be transformed into trash talk.

I guess I'm a little old school,
and I love the confidence, but I’ve never looked up to guys who had a lot to say before a game, or before a fight. It doesn’t seem to fit in with how the Giants have always been.
Well, the other night when Ed got interviewed...I stayed tuned in and they played the Bears..
Super Bowl Shuffle song….That excuded confidence..It was funny..I hadn’t heard it in a very long time..but they went on to kick ass and take names in the game..I have no problem with players saying they are taking no prisoners..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Yeah, that's cool. I don't feel strongly about it,
I just get a little surprised when I hear the Giants saying it. And I have to confess, I still like the Paul Brown approach to touchdowns. But times change . . .
meh
in 2007 Plax guaranteed a victory and they wore black suites for a Patriot Funeral
in SB 21 LT walked around in a Super Man outfit one day.
I hear what your saying but the GIants have had some brash players before.
We didnt have all these many media days back then either. This is getting too much now.

Accurately predicted the rounds in which he knocked several opponents. It’s different with a team sport, as it’s usually the case that one person puts everybody on the spot.
The Giants, however, are exhibiting confidence as a team, so I’m not worried about any of the talk.
People will call it a motivator for the opposition, but that’s what it’s all about. If you’re afraid to say that you feel confident enough to win the game, don’t take the field, please and thank you.
If they said negative things then maybe but they are saying positive things about the Pats. Media is twisting it.

I'm usually the pesimistic one and would be all nervous about this talk BUT
lets look at some facts here
In SB 42 Plaxico guaranteed a victory and gave a score. The team arrived in black suites for a Patriots funeral, ala the 1986 Jimmy Johnson/Michale Irving Miami Hurricans wearing Army Fatigues before the Fiesta Bowl. Nothing they’ve done this week is remotley close to what they did 4 years ago but becasue nobody thought they were going to win 4 years ago nobody took it seriously now that people think the Giants can compete its they’re too cocky.
Victor Cruz said he was excited to play against Carlos Rodgers again in the NFC championship game. How did that turn out?
JPP guarnatted a victory before the GB game. All anybody said was you don’t want to give the Packers extra motivation. What happend?
JPP was right about Brady, their were times in the last meeting Brady went down or looked to take a sack when there was not much pressure, I rememebr thinking Brady was ratteld a bit facing our guys.
JPP is not arrogant or cocky he’s just a bright eyed kid who says what he feels and can be brutally honest. JPP is not trash talking he’s just ansewring a question. He does not know how to trash talk.
The bottom line is this talk means nothing. Both coaches are good and both teams will come out and play good games. Either team can win Giants are a little more vocal about their confidence but I’m sure the Pats are loaded with confidence too both teams should be.

I'm Not Sure The Pats Are Confident
I think they think we’ve got their number. They may be right. The Hoody will come up with something we haven’t seen, but barring injury or fixing the refs, I just don’t see how Eli & the receivers don’t romp and outscore the Pats — and the Pats see the same things we do.
Maybe I am the one who’s overconfident. I hope the team isn’t. But the Pats just don’t look or sound confident to me at all.
FINISH!
I feel like I'm a young BBV user
im a 20 year old junior at rutgers and I’ve been using BBV since around the draft last year… i’d just like to say that this has been the most exciting season of Giants football that I’ve ever watched. through all the ups and downs, all of the bad performances this year and the great ones, the team got hot at the right time and now will hopefully win the super bowl… I’ve got to say that this whole year was a thrill ride and can be capped with a championship

Although i dont remember tge 86 sb all that much since i was 6 months young but i am a lucky giant fan an was blessed with an amazing father who bleeds blue more than any fan i ever met and thankfully has season tix as i havent missed a home game since i was 4. And as i went to college in south jersey my juniour yr was 2007 so we won it as i was celebrating at a frat house full of drunk eagle fans. And now this ahh i dont know how it can get any better after 07 but it is and now Eli is going for number 2 only way to top 07 is to have my NY Rangers bring home the cup. Wow a lombardi and lord stanley in one year ahh what a great start to the decade if that can happen.

ESPN 1050 was trying to say
JPP says they rattled Brady in Nov. But they only won on a last second TD by Eli. If the Pats won, would they still be saying that?
Ummm Yes ESPN they would. Because in the week 17 2007 game, the Giant defense rattled Brady a few times but the Giants still lost the game.

Well Brady will not be playing D-Line or DB
nor will Eli, so Brady will need help if he wants to put Eli in his place.
True but he will want to embarrass the Giants
and therefore infer that Eli is not Elite. No matter how you look at it, Eli will get the credit or the blame in this game.

I think thats why Giselle is asking for prayers
She sees how stressed Tom has been b/c he can’t play every position & he needs to perform so amazingly, that the Giants won’t stand a chance. He wants to play so good, he won’t need to worry about the D being able to stop Eli from scoring the game winner as time expires.

1050 is the state controlled media
by state I mean Woody Johnson and the NYJets. Who cares what they say.
You know I never realized how hated the GIants were by national/local people until this playoff run. I mean I always thought Dallas was the team everyone universely loved/hated but the Giants are getting venom from people that flat out don’t like them. I know people are picking them thats not what I mean but the overall tone is the Giants are the bad guys and poor Bellicheck and Brady, just going for another Super Bowl and legacy getting overlooked. I mean come on!!!! They’re the Pats, Brady rubs in everybodys face during games and Bellicheck is about as poor of a sport as there is. Don’t get me wrong I like both of them a lot but man lets be real hear. You could hear in some of these guys voices that they putting everytype of jinx on the G-Men.
Lots of people still stinging
from how wrong they were to totally dismiss us before the season started. And when we were 7-7 and they all said that whoever won the division would be one n’ done. And when there was no way possible we could beat the Packers because their offense was just too powerful.
People hate being wrong. Instead of owning their mistakes like adults, they focus their anger and hate on the Giants for exposing them as the fools they are.
Which is just fine because we feed on their hate and anger and it only makes us stronger.

First comment here
Hi everyone, I’m a Ravens fan first, but I’ve been following the Giants all my life & they’re my favorite NFC team. My father & uncle used to attend Giants games in Yale Bowl and my grandfather was a Giants fan from the 1930s until he died 10 years ago. I was a big fan of the 80s teams, Joe Morris is one of my favorite players of all time.
I was on egg shells the entire game pulling for the Giants when these teams met in SB XLII. Like OHGIANTSMAN said in the post above, I’m more a legacy than a bandwagoner. Plus, I think you’ll find that everyone who isn’t a Pats fan is rooting for the Giants this week (okay, fans of the Eagles, Skins and Cowboys are probably rooting for the Pats too).
Back to the topic:
I haven’t heard anything out of bounds yet. If Cruz, JPP, or anyone else was running around predicting a shutout or saying they expect to roll up 55 points, that would be stupid. I see a team exuding confidence not arrogance, and that should be encouraging to all the fans here. Coughlin goes back 30 years with Belichik, I’m sure he’s laid down the law about dissing The Hoodie.
I hope Brady gets “rattled” early and often Sunday night.
Welcome JasonM71....I'm happy we are your second choice...

Jason your team’s defense predicted a shutout before 35, and backed it up.

Nothing wrong with it.
They have the right to talk because they achieved the right to. They didn’t do the talking before getting anywhere like Rex and co. They didn’t do any talking throughout the year. The patriots have just as much right to say what they want to. If they feel confident let them express it. Every player isn’t an Eli. They should do whatever they think is best for their state of mind going in to Sunday.

My Confidence
Was at an all time high after the NFC Championship. We just destroyed ATL, beat GB in their own house (which is becoming Eli’s house!) and dispatched a very good 49ers team in always hostile SF. After that game i was like bring on the Pats! I was like Canty earlier today: Bring on the Confetti! As that week went on and onto this week my confidenced has waned. It was 100%, no doubt, it’s now i say about 70%. Still a majority, but its becoming clearer that this week off has most likely helped the Pats more than Giants. They should have a much healthier Gronk and the Giants team that has been of fire in playoffs, that momentum has cooled. Seems too that all we keep hearing is the Giants players running their mouths. Bravado or confidence? Also, all this media Giants love has got me thinking. Why are so many people on Big Blue? Why, all of a sudden we are hearing people say they rather have Eli over Brady? What happened to the media and what have they done to the Brady lovin’ fools that used to run it?
This is where you come in Coughlin. Keep this team focused, on fire, and come up with a gameplan for the ages, and Canton will humbly receive you.

You know Brady is preparing himself to play the game of his life, with a pinch of revenge mixed in, same for Belicheck. Stay focused G-Men. Prepare well. Believe you can win. Just don’t start bragging before the snap. No need for that. Can’t wait for this game though, gonna watch it from the Hollywood Hills. Best to all fellow G fans! Let’s get another ring!
There you are!!!...
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I don't like...
all the talk and I don’t like that people are picking the Giants. Shut up and stay under the radar. You know the Pats want to revenge 07, but the one thing that keeps coming to my mind is….
How often do you think Eli has had the chance to do something to out shine Peyton? Not very. I’m sure Eli is going to be freakin crazy on for this game.
We’ll have plenty of time to strut after we win. I’d hate to get all this way and start to get cocky to the point of loosing focus.
Keep your eye on the prize boys and let your play do your talking.
PS – Hey Bill, if you think we are falling for any of this Gronk (what a stupid name) news, you are sadly mistaken. I’m sure the Giants have always game planned for him to play.
See you Sunday Bill
We will be fine and win. When the game starts the guys will focus and play.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I hope the Giants players and coaches really pull together and win this one for JPP...
He plays for such a piece of crap team that he will never see the Super Bowl again

Just a year ago, I thought those watch commercials were kind of corny ...
But not now no more.
Now, if only people still wore watches instead of using their cell phones …
HaHa
No, I have a watch thingy for watching and a text thingy for texting and a phone thingy for phoning and a . . .
FINISH!
Hey, we got Buffalo on our side

Giants by 17 over GB, take it to the bank!
Giants by 10 over SF, take it to the bank! Well, OK, by 3, but we are Super Bowl bound!!!!!!!
Giants will score 30 or more points, NE 20 or less. Guess who wins? Take it to the bank!

Do you remember back in 94 the night of the Bronco chase
when after the Knicks Rockets game 5 of the NBA finals a media person asked Pat Riley in the post game press conference if OJ cuts right and slashes left do you think he’ll get away? I saw it live it was freaking hystercial. I still laugh thinking of the look on Rileys face after that question.
i read Buffalo Bills NFCC game thread few days ago and they were cheering for the Giants and so were the Saints fans.

My 2 cents...
For whatever thats worth,lol. Graziano is a moron. No news there. That being said, everyone showing all this love is making me so nervous. Would someone please say how unbeatable the patriots are? I wont be able to sleep until kickoff…..cmon already!!!!!!!

The Patriots ARE unbeatable...
So…why try?

We are the last team that beat them and will this Sunday too. Their wins will be sandwiched to losses to us.
This is not the 2007 team.

Graziano knows how to do one thing
Be wrong about the Giants. I don’t mind the Giants talking a bit, it means they got some swagger going on.
Die hard Giants fan since wide Right! I was 6...
I'm down wit JPP
Yea you know me
Win Ugly.

Enough already!!!!!
Where is the hot tub time machine?? I need to fast forward to sunday pronto. I’m tired of all the talk about talk, i’m tired of gronk’s ankle, and I’m reeeeeeealy tired of these stinkin naked dude on a bear ads on this site!!!!!!!
what are they supposed to say, we suck, we think we’ll lose, Brady will dominate us………………
they’re playing good, it’s no sin to tell it like it is.
Shoot the puck Barry!!!
exactly!
lets just enjoy our team playing for another ring on sunday……… and then read all the crappy articles by lazy journalists that will still consider the giants a flukey team that got hot at the right time.

If we lose this game all this talk will be the talk. All these players will look really small. That is why you do not talk. With the amount of talking we dont this week we better come out on fire.
We're going to win this game...
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I sure hope so. I have that bad feeling but it turned out wrong the last two games so. I love confidence in our team. I think this will be a shoot out.
Few comments from the man with the funny accent...
1—Graziano is an Eagles loving douchebag.
2—The Patriots are actually favored so we should be able to talk seeing as we’re being disrespected AGAIN.
3—Who the hell have the Pats beat that makes anyone think they can beat us?? They beat a Broncos team with no QB. The Ravens BARELY have a real QB and only one good WR. Of course the Pats can stop Ray Rice when there’s no threat of a passing game.
4—All of the pressure is on the Pats. Brady and Belichek are being talked about like they’re gonna be the greatest QB and coach ever if they win.
5—Up here in Pats country, their fans are talking about how we have no running game, apparently forgetting about all of our injuries this year to AB, BJ, and our OL.
6—WE HAVE A SCOTTISH KICKER!! NO WAY IN HELL WE CAN LOSE WITH A SCOTTISH KICKER!!

OH Poor Brady
Any amount of talking
just shows your own insecurities. If you are confident in who you are and what you are going to do, you don’t have to say jack crap and produce it on the field.
My Wife is a Patriot's fan...
"Giants rely on fumbles and stripping the ball. If the pats secure the ball, then the pats win, but if they fumble or let the ball get striped than the giants win. every game the giants play they always benefit from the other teams bonehead mistakes (fumbled or striped) not from thier skills. The giants are a dirty team, I can’t think of any othe team as dirty as the giants. They try to strip the ball as hard as they can because they know they can’t win a fair game." by EaglesNeedD on Jan 23, 2012 2:01 AM EST
Superstitious
Call me superstitious but all the yapping makes me worry about being jinxed!
Naaah dont worry man. They are not disrespecting the Pats and in fact they are praising them. The players are just answering questions they are getting asked. Then media twists the words. If they are out of line then Coughlin would have put his foot dn
This is not the 2007 team.

they've been yapping throughout the playoffs
and where’s that gotten us? To the first week in February still playing football. Enjoy it.

Too good for the Pats
Been following this team for 45 years and imo, it is the best Giants team I have seen.
The Giants would have to lose this game; turnovers, bad special team play, dropped or tipped passes, etc. for NE to win……..injuries finally went away and the true character of this team came through. The Giants are the better team, Belichick doesn’t wear any pads, and Coughlin is just as good a coach as the hooddie is.
I can see Belichick using a game plan as he used against Buffalo in 91, let the Giants run for yardage to keep them from passing, but this time around, I do not think it will help. Before the Gmen could spread it around, play action was a big part of their O and they can beat NE in a wide open or a tightly played game.
Giants win and do not be surprised if it is a blowout.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
