Where do we begin..

March 10th, 1994, Summit, NJ, Overlook Hospital, at some god forsaken hour in the morning during a chaotic arctic blizzard; my Mother brought me into this world at 6 lb. 12 oz. (the little shit I was). There I am, smiling, drooling, not realizing what was even remotely in store for myself on this hellish place we call Earth, only to fall in love with what I thought to be the greatest organization in all of professional sports aside from the New York Yankees; The New York Football Giants. Class, honor, dignity, respect, all characteristics that described this once proud franchise. Fast-forward to November 12th, 2019, the almost impossible has occurred:

• The Giants have become the skid marks of some slob’s underwear of the league
• John Mara continues to be the spineless coward that he is for not taking ownership of this ongoing nightmare
• The Philadelphia Eagles were crowned Super Bowl Champions in 2017
• The Giants drafted Eli’s replacement by cloning him in a lab
• The New York Giants have become the New Cleveland Browns

There, there it is: “The New York Giants have become the new Cleveland Browns”.

I use the caption “D-Day” to describe the picture above because since the infamous boat picture taken prior to the Giants’ away playoff game at Green Bay in January of 2017, they have a combined record of 10 wins and 33 losses in that span. 10 wins and 33 losses. Since the end of the 2016 season, the Cleveland Browns have had more wins to show than the Giants have, with the Browns managing to go WINLESS in one of those seasons compiling an 0-16 record. It’s that egregious. It is the third year in a row Giants fan can confidently say the season was over before the god damn leaves changed colors in the fall. The only thing worse than watching the Giants’ play on field is the quick camera to Eli’s facial expression on the sideline. 15 years after he was drafted, you’d think he stop looking like the 8 year old who gets bullied for his lunch money that sits by himself. The only saving grace Giants Brass and Pat Shurmur can take a victory lap for was pulling Eli out as the starter and saving him from this abomination some still call a professional football organization.

What’s next?

NFL Columnist and Giants Beat writer Art Stapleton whom I consider to be the best beat writer for the Giants, highlights what he believes to be the top 5 questions Giants Co-Owner John Mara must answer regarding the future of the Giants and Giants’ Head Coach Pat Shurmur:

Stapleton outlines them in 5 important segments:

• “Is Pat Shurmur the right choice to develop Daniel Jones?”
• “Have the players stopped playing for Shurmur?”
• “What is the root of the defense’s problems?”
• “Does the talent on the roster match the results?”
• “Is the team heading in the right direction?”

Under the 4th segment, Stapleton writes:

The deficiencies in certain areas are undeniable, but how much did Mara anticipate in the summer….were the Giants realistic enough to realize how much of a rebuild this was going to be?

To answer his question, I don’t know. There’s no good way to answer that question since someone like my Mother who didn’t know what a QB pocket was up until last week can point out how dogshit this Giants team has become showing glaring holes on both sides of the ball. It begs the question did Gettleman get Mara high and/or drunk when outlining this team’s roster moving into this year and selling him on the notion this team could compete on a high-level basis. The Giants just lost to the 1-7 now 2-7 New York Jets giving up 4 offensive touchdowns, in which the Jets scored 8 offensive touchdowns AGGREGATELY, through the first 8 weeks. The Giants play the Dolphins on 12/15 who are currently on a winning streak and might be the favorites in that game. This team makes me want to go 100 MPH on the highway and pull the E-Brake mercilessly.

Why did I start this blog? I started this in hopes of attracting other miserable individuals that unfortunately call themselves fans of this team because misery loves company and there’s a lot of it. I thought I was done when they fired Coughlin, I thought I was going to be arrested when that wannabe 70’s porn-star McAdoo benched Eli in favor of Geno Smith, and I thought I’d be dead at 25 when that miserable low life Gettleman traded a once-in-a-generation type talent in Odell – but here I am, still waiting for the ship to right its course. Something’s gotta give, otherwise I’ll be this guy for eternity:
