Officially A Giant Fan....(This Week Only)!

Now I'll be rooting for Eli and the Giants as well since I loathe both the AFC teams. It won't be easy, though: being from NY, if the Giants win, I'm going to have to hear it from my friends and family all year about how Eli and the Giants are better than Drew and The Saints...gross.

Drew and the Saints are the best the Saints have ever been. That is unquestionable. However, being an old fart and an Ole Miss fan, when I grew up it was Archie and the Saints. Eli is his kid. It is a no-brainer for me and sort of like a network, so to speak. I do pull for Peyton, too...just no as much, cause Peyton went to Tennessee.

NOT ME!

You don't hear a damn thing about that team out here, and now, all of a sudden, and just like the SF Giants by the way, the 'fans' are everywhere. It's a joke. A farce. It's disgusting and I hope they get their teeth knocked out this weekend.

I would rather see the Giants win & send the 9ers packing in a home game. It doesn't matter who you loose to in the divisional round of the playoffs especially if you turn the ball over 5 times & fail to stop a drive starting at the opponents 15 yard line.

It must be Hell Week out there this week, SF....I feel for you. I would love nothing better than to see the Giants kick some Niner a$$. Go Eli! Brandon Jacobs, meh, not so much...that guy is still a tool.

Thnx Joannie.
I am pulling all the way for Eli and The NYGiants.
I felt a little happiness in the bitterness of revenge against the 49'ers when the NYGiants won and they will deal with that team in CA.
There is a little irony there that Saints did not get where we know they should be, but New Orleans Manning is going there to set it straight.
Yeah, he is a NYGiant. No, he does not live in N.O.
Yeah, but still, there is that little connection there.
It is the only little hope we have for now.

Hey wow, its a Hou-Dats reunion on this thread. hows it going guys?

HouYat · 01-18-2012, 08:31 AM

Not too bad, Mike. Still not over that loss last weekend.

skymike · 01-18-2012, 08:47 AM

Me neither, Bruz. I have this sick feeling, which is worse, since the Giants won, and plus I didnt get to watch the game, since I had a gig I couldnt
get out of, so I cant stop thinking, "if".... I cant watch ESPN, and dont want to look at any highlights, and of course, football has been the topic
on our morning show all week.

I need some crawfish to cheer me up.
