Unless you’re talking to Cowboys fans.

For every "historically successful but not recently" team the former mostly takes the form of just making GBS threads on any member of the team that doesn't have a ring but dares to think he's good. Sometimes the staff gets into that mindset too and it's how you end up with poo poo like the Ben and his 52 children comments.

I know, I know, but let's be honest, NY/NJ sports fans (myself included) are kinda insufferable in terms of expectations.

Can we please not imply that New Jersey is full of degenerate New York fans? Some of us i living in this lovely state still have good taste in football and root for Philly.

Also 2/3s of New York's teams play in Jersey and they still can't interest half the state into rooting for them.

In all seriousness though, I'm once again stunned by the diversity of choices for football fans in this area while also being pissed that New Jersey doesn't have a team of its own. Yet again Jersey gets the short end of the stick.

So just give us the Giants and NY can keep the Bills and Jets. And those insane south jersey folks can just become part of philly or whatever.

New Jersey is majority farm land and rolling hills of forests. People give it a bad rap because they go down the turnpike and see all the shitholes.

Anyway all Giants fans mad about Eli getting re-upped are dumb as gently caress. Not a lot of good QBs in this draft plus having a quality starter at QB is A Good Thing.

Also New Jersey already has two NFL teams. New York only has one.

I mean, he deserved to get benched, just not for like Geno Smith or whatever limpdick they trotted out instead of their like rookie they had.

QB's as bad as Eli should be replaced, just with somebody who at least has a chance of being better.

Eli should have been benched in 2007 and the Giants should have missed the playoffs and the timeline would never have been wrecked.

It's time, Eli. If management won't put you out to pasture, do it yourself. Just retire and help with Papa John's alongside your brother and Shaq. Help give America the crappy pizza it deserves.
