The Season that Passed Me By....

I started last season with high hopes. I would watch my beloved Giants, and I would blog like mad!

One out of two ain't bad. I watched EVERY Giant's game. I LOVE the NFL Sunday Ticket!!

However I didn't blog at all, which sucks, because last season there was much to blog about. Plaxico anyone? Tom Brady who? The Brett Farve situation. The hope (and I know I wasn't the only one) of a SUPER MANNING BOWL!!!

However I didn't blog and much of that stuff is in the past, so I shall soldier on.

The draft is coming.................I can't WAIT.

Love,

Getting my pre-preseason fix

I have managed to amaze two different people today. Both have been completely baffled by the fact that I can not wait for the draft this Saturday. I was asked how I could even be looking forward to something so boring when I won't watch baseball on tv for just that reason.

Here is my answer:

I love football. I can't wait for the season to start. The draft is the very first ripple in ocean of awesomeness that is the NFL season. According to giants.com there are 134 days until kickoff on Sept 4th (what an awesome birthday present for me!). Although August beings sweltering weather and PRESEASON I don't even have to wait that long!

Slacker Blogger......

I think I have earned a new nickname. Yep that is me, slacker blogger.
I had this beautiful blog about the Giants victory over the Packers. Where is this amazing blog you may ask.........well I deleted it. Why you may ask...........because the victory is moot, a greater more important victory has occurred that has eclipsed that win.

Yes I am talking about the SUPER BOWL. A fabulous hard fought back and forth game that caused me and a number of other Giants fans racing pulses and clenched fists/jaws/stomachs.

Eli Manning was fantastic. The D line worked harder than ever, and Shockey was in the stands. Which was the only sore point for me ( and Shockey I am pretty sure).

Great Job New York Giants.

When I finally realized that I enjoyed watching football, and I picked the Giants as my team, I made an excellent choice.

Giants 21, Cowboys 17

What a fantastic game!
I skipped out on work and arrived home after the first touchdown. The Giants are one game closer, next stop the Pack!

Good Luck Boys!!

Go Blue!

One step closer! Good Job Giants. 24-14 victory over Jeff Garcia (who I adore) and the rest of the Tampa Bay Bucs.

I once again "watched" the game on-line while at work. This time I paired it with the message board at the Giant's home page. It was nice to see other fans go through the amazing array of emotions that I do.

Thor, you are very missed!

Life Gets in The Way....

In October of this year I started a new job, a job I love but a job with one major drawback.
I work on Sunday.

See the problem?

I have been forced to "watch" the Giants over this last season by clicking the refresh button on my computer...........very unsatisfactory!

I was so excited to watch the Skins game on the 16th, I walked in the door at kick off. I was happily yelling at the screen when Amani Toomer rolled onto Jeremy Shockey's legs. I saw Shock go down and not get up. I knew it was bad, and I was right.

The game was lost, Jeremy's x-rays were flashed, broken left fibula and I went to bed an unhappy Giants fan, as visions of my favorite player gracing the IR list danced in my head.

I missed the win over the Bills on the 23rd, but I was thrilled it happened.

Now I am anticipating the last game of the regular season, as many other football fans are. I hope with all of my heart that the Giants snatch a perfect 16-0 season from the smug Tom Brady and his creepy coach. Although I know it is a long shot.

Good luck Boys, you know I will be rooting for you all the way!

As for you Jeremy, who has fallen off the radar, .....I hope the surgery went well and I hope your recovery goes perfectly. You are very much missed.

Love,

Monday Night What???

Last Monday I was working, so I didn't get to see much of the game. I caught just the last few minutes of the Bills/Cowboys game. 7 seconds from the end I confidently walked away from the television know that in my heart that the banged up Bills had it in the bag.

What the hell happened???

I can't wait to see next Mondays matchup Giants and Falcons in Atlanta.
