FINALLY

After losing 4 games in a row, it's about time the GMEN win a game. Now they hold tiebreakers over Atlanta, Philly (if we win this weekend, if not, then it comes down to divisional record and that would depend on how we do against washington and if philly beats dallas), and Carolina, the three likely other contenders for the wildcard. A win in Philly this weekend and one more win after that pretty much guarantees a playoff spot, though I would prefer to win out, obviously. Also, Dallas lost last night, so we are only a game out of the division lead. If dallas loses again, and we win out, we'd take the division because I believe the Giants have a better divisional record. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GMEN

ANDY OH ANDY!

I think Grease's Sandy says it all:
Stranded at the drive-inbranded a fool-what will they say,
monday at school. ANDY can't you see,
I'm in misery we made a start,
now we're apart,
there's nothing left for me love has flown,
all alone I sit and wonder whyyy oh why you left me oh ANDY oh ANDY
maybe someday when high school is done somehow,
someway our two worlds will be one.
In heaven for ever and ever we will be.
Oh please say you'll stay oh ANDY
ANDY my darling you hurt me real bad
you know it's true but baby you gotta believe me when I say:
I'm helpless without you!
Love has flown all alone I sit,
I wonder whyyy oh why you left me oh ANDY oh ANDY,
ANDY whyyyy oh

BUT NOW YOU'RE BACK AND I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!

fox probably hates me...

So, am I getting the second game of the double header or not? Do I have to haul my ass to the sports bar to see it? I swear, if they black me out of it, I'll probably have to jump into the TV and go all rambo on them. PLEASE GIVE ME THE GAME THX

SLINGBOX=MY ENEMY

So, because I don't get local New York TV down here in Miami, I have slingbox, which transfers my channels from home onto my laptop so I can watch New York Sports. WELL, the remote decided it was not going to work around the time of the Islanders game, and no one was home to change the channel for me from there, so I missed the game. At least they won, GO ISLANDERS.

GMEN: New careers? I think so...

A day after defensive end Michael Strahan ignited a controversy when he dressed down a television reporter who questioned him about critical remarks he had made on a radio show, several of the Giants entered the locker room Thursday singing the Twisted Sister anthem, "We're Not Gonna Take It."

So, what exactly are you not gonna take? The constant bullshit questions or all the losing? PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU PLAN ON WINNING A GAME. Maybe you can sing something for that.

"We want to thank the media again for keeping us in check, letting us know that we're a horrible team, that Dallas is going to come in here and beat us 42-0," linebacker Antonio Pierce said. "We're going to keep that in the back of our minds Sunday."

Can I just honestly say how much I love Antonio and his sarcasm? Although if Dallas does win 42-0, Antonio can have a career in fortune telling, because the Giants will have no need for him with the season down the drain.

"We just have to play consistent football and not make mistakes," Manning said. "This is a crazy game and you go in spurts. We are not finding ways to win and we are not playing our best football. During the fourth quarter, where we have usually been at our best, we are not, so we just have to get that back."

Can Eli be any more boring? It's like he says the SAME EXACT THING every week. How many times can you say "We need to not make mistakes," before you actually stop making mistakes? Saying it doesn't make it happen, Eli. It's pretty obvious his future is in politics, he's so dry and uncontroversial. His press conferences are so predictable. "Uh, errrr, um, well, I think we played well but we have the ability to get better every week with, um, err, practice and watching film. I know I can, uhh, do much better. We need to play better football, er, uh, not make any mistakes, and just, um, be consistent." Guarantee you find that in ALL of his press conferences. PRETEND IT BOTHERS YOU ELI, THAT YOU ARE PLAYING HORRIBLY. JUST PRETEND, FOR ME.

So we have rockstars, fortune tellers, and politicians in the locker room. Anyone see any football players?

so hello...

Well, this is my first post. I guess I'm just bored so I've succumbed to blogging.

Why is it that every team I root for loses? And they all do it in different ways. I guess they got together and decided to vary the ways to show their hatred for me.

New York Yankees: I know what you're thinking. The yankees won their division! Well that brings me to my first point. They like to win allllllll regular season, massacre the red sox at fenway park for five games, kill the detroit tigers all season, and then fucking choke in the postseason. EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THEY DO THIS TO ME? I can't figure those assholes out.

New York Giants: The Gmen have a whole different idea. They're like "hey, let's forget about how we were playing SO well, let's get injured, and let's blow 21 point leads to the TENNESSEE FUCKING TITANS"! Jerkoffs. I mean, they consistently like to get my hopes up, and then crumble into a pile of motherfucking dirt. WHY?!

New York Islanders: Why I chose the Islanders to be my team, I'll never know. But hey, unlike my other teams at least they're consistent, even if it's consistently bad. This year, they have a little hope. But now with Alexei Yashin out for 2-4 weeks, they're scuffling. But at least I get to watch Rick DiPietro. Now he's a hot piece of ass.

So I have a team that loses at the worst times, a team that loses in the worst ways, and a team that loses all the time. Oh man, gonna be a long sports year.
