You know the scenario: It's Sunday, you're ready to watch some football, and invariably the Giants are on with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman calling the game.
3+ hours follow of Shockey jumping up and down on the sidelines like a little girl ...
Plexico Burress either a) hot-dogging it b) giving dirty looks with his ballcap turned sideways like some punk rapper, or c) dropping passes and blaming the refs.
Michael Strahan flashing his gap-toothed smile and running up and down the sideline looking for a camera to talk to ..
Eli Manning alternating between looking completely bewildered or ready to burst into tears - in between bad-passes, of course ..
And that idiot Tom Coughlin waddling around like the stupid prick that he is, obviously more concerned about his fat contract than managing the clock!
F-the Giants. They are as bad as the Raiders, the only difference is the Raiders have the decency to stay out of sight.

You are such an idiot. Way to misspell "Plaxico", by the way.
Worse than the Raiders? Really? Have the Raiders made the playoffs the last two seasons? I know that the Giants lost in the first round but THEY STILL GOT THERE. The Giants have a very good shot at making the playoffs again this year also.
Do they have problems? Of course but who doesn't? I don't like Coughlin coming back but it's a done deal now. He'll get this year at least.
So Shockey plays with some emotion? It fires the team and the fans up. Us Giant fans LOVE him. Oh yeah, his stats aren't so bad either. Take a look at them sometime.
Burress "hot-dogging it"? When? Did he give up on two interceptions? Yes and he needs to learn from that. However, he never "hot-dogged" it by showing up the other team, excessive celebrating, etc. He doesn't blame the refs for dropped passes, he usually blames Eli, which he should. Eli threw some horrible balls towards Plaxico last year. So he wears his cap sideways? So what? He's a young black man who likes hip-hop and he plays in the capital of hip-hop, New York. Let him wear his damn cap the way he wants to. He's not hurting anyone.
OK, Strahan can smile because he's one of the best DE's in the game, still. So he smiles? He's a nice guy who is a beast on the field. Get over it.
Eli needs work, I agree. His attitude needs work. I question is resiliency and I hope he can improve that. You can't get too down by momentary failure in the NFL. However, he has shown that he can be a good NFL quarterback at times. He just needs to deal with the downtimes better.
It's fine that you're a Giant hater (sorry your favorite team is bad, whoever they are) but please, get your facts (and spelling) right and make better arguments next time.

Part of the reason you saw them so much is because they had a good season in 2005 and they base the feature games around the teams that did well; it also helps that New York is a large market team. Also, in the 2nd half of the year, NBC was stealing the best games so it might be coincidence that you ended up watching more Giants games than usual. Where do you live? That makes a big difference. It's not the Giants that choose to be on TV - that's the NETWORK'S DECISION.
And your Oakland comment is just stupid. The Raiders had one of the worst offensive productions years in NFL HISTORY! There is no comparison, no matter how bias you may be. Being bias doesn't mean you have to be stupid too.

LMAO. I would say the Gaints are much worse than the Raiders, atleast Raider fans knew what they were going to get before the season started. Gaints fans got the shock of their life midway through the season and another at the end when Coughlin didnt get fired.
*Edit*- and then they cut the players that were not causing the ruckus.

I just so happen to be a Giants fan. and this early in the season, I dont think they are on TV enough.. THEY HAVENT DONE **** WITH FA! lets whipe out our roster and pick up a running back who will "supposively" replace one of the better RB's in the league.. Doubt it... time for a rebuilding year I think.. sure they will have their same drama as last season "ELI- TIME TO GROW UP?" i think so.. too many young mistakes.
