It's turned out to be another serviceable season for the Jersey Giants.
Last night, the evil Dallas Cowboys were stuffed, broiled, carved and served.
Today, as the good people of Texas freeze their frostbitten butts onto icy toilet seats, we welcome them to Hell.
Today, we are all Giant fans.
Hopefully, tonight, the Eagles - another carbunkle on my personal vendetta list - will join the Grease Stains of Gotham. There's a certain joy to watching a rival team and fan base simultaneously implode, nullifying all their hopes and victories from the past six months. But Philly gets to celebrate when the Yankees collapse. This would be karma, folks.
As for the Buffalo Bills? Any diehard Yank fan knows that Buffalo doesn't qualify as a proxy for NYC sports. It's too far away, geographically and culturally.
That said, the Bills have never hurt me, and blizzard football is always fun to watch from a warm couch. On that note, go Bills! And hello Cowboys fans. Feeling a bit cold, are we? Get used to it. I believe NFL camps open in late July.
I’m a lifelong Giants fan. They are an organization nearly as dysfunctional as the Yankees with one big exception - they truly want to win. My hatred for the cowboys burns white hot. I have but one item on my bucket list - to defecate on the cowboy star on the 50 yard line at cowboy stadium.
ReplyDeleteI still remember when the Cowboys were known as South America's Team...
ReplyDeleteI tend to only watch football to bet on it but if I gotta root I’d rather root for Philly than for some Jersey swamp rats. Philly is a fun town to hang out in.
ReplyDeleteThe Bills are, however, the only New York team in the NFL. Not New York City, but at least in the state, unlike the "New York" teams that are in Jersey. (Which never stops me from rooting for the Jints.)
ReplyDeleteBut seeing Dallas get pasted yesterday...ah, that was a thing of beauty, a bright, shining light in the dark wastes of January. Thank you, Green Bay.
I was going to say...aren't we all PACKERS fans today? As a lifelong Green Bay rooter, I've never much liked MLF, and I suspect he will—once again—be smoked by Shanahan in the next round.
ReplyDeleteBut beating Dallas...boy, it was sweet.
Speaking of which...the NFL now postpones games because of snow and freezing temperatures? Since when? Why, with such wussiness, we never would've had the Ice Bowl!
The best part is watching the sadness in Jerry Jones' rheumy, evil eyes. It's like watching Satan cry.
Just like the rest of you -
ReplyDeleteI LOVED LOVED LOVED (Loved American Style Truer than the Red White and... sorry. Somehow a couple of days ago I watched a Love American Style about a jealous older businessman who hires a detective to see if his wife was cheating on him.
He was greatly relived when it turned out she was meeting with an interior decorator (Wink) named Bruce (Wink) and she was just planning on re-doing his office for their anniversary.
Hey, the businessman was played by Lou Jacobi. I had no choice.
But I digress. Yes. Beating the Cowboys. But more than that. Watching Jerry Jones cry! Watching the looks on the faces of those arrogant smarmy dickweed Cowboy fans in their billion dollar cocoon realize that, once again, not only is it all for naught, but the Cowboys looked bad doing it. Yeee-Hah motherfuckers.
Last:
A question for BTR:
"I have but one item on my bucket list - to defecate on the cowboy star on the 50 yard line at cowboy stadium."
Which star? Dak Prescott? Or did you want someone from the past like Emmitt Smith or Bob Lily (Wink)?
Hi Doug, I was referring to the cowboys logo, a huge star, currently desecrating the 50 yd line of their home field.

ReplyDeleteThe Cowboys and Yankees are more alike than you might think. They both have owners that are content with staying relevant and having the money continue to roll in than in actually winning anything. They also both have had idiots in the GM position for a long, long time.
ReplyDeleteOasis -
ReplyDeleteJerry Jones wants to win. He attends every game and is overly hands on. You had to see the tears in his eyes. Hal not only doesn't cry he probably doesn't even attend playoff games.
If Jerruh wanted to win he would hire a competent GM.
