Title: **Members Profiles**- Post a little about yourself (now with complete list)
Post by: MightyGiants on August 29, 2007, 11:12:04 AM
Thanks to Afan we now have an easy reference list:

http://giantsfans.net/bbhers.doc (http://giantsfans.net/bbhers.doc)


With so many new people, it seemed like a good idea for people to get to know one another.   Here is a list of questions, answer the ones you would like to answer.

1)  What part of the Country do you live in?

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?

3)  What do you do for a living?

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?

Also if you modify your profile (the profile button on the top) and put in your date of birth, your birthday will appear on the board's calendar.

2. My first Giants memory is from 1979, but I really started following the team in 1981.

3. I am a political consultant with my own Direct Mail firm.

4.  I am the father of the best 2-year old girl in the world.

Since I haven't updated this in about 3 years, I figured I would make it current.
1. Just south of Birmingham, Alabama - the best kept secret in the country.

2. Started following the Giants in the 70s when 8-8 would have been a great year.

3. Senior Engineer for Southern Nuclear. No, I can't get you Homer Simpson's autograph.

4. I'm actually better described as a soccer coach who works when he can, and my oldest daughter just won the Alabama high school State Championship. I must admit I had little to do with her development other than teaching her a love for the game. She also won two Academic State Championships in environmental science and will represent Alabama and the US with a team of students in the International Championships this summer. My job now is to stay out of her way and not screw her up before she heads off to college on scholarship.  ;)

Two other children; Tatum (15) and Kendall (13) who keep me plenty busy. My wife is a Golden Domer, so she gets the TV to watch her game on Saturday and I get it for mine on Sunday, which makes for a happy marriage. She's a former college researcher and grant writer (Rutgers, Auburn, UAB) that was forced into retirement early due to a physical disability. She is now writing books from home and hopes to have the first of two ready for publication in early 2013.

First name is Mitch.

1. I just bought a house in central jersey.

2. I guess I was born into being a Giants fan, but my first memory is from the 86 season when I was 10.

3. I am a daytrader and I have recently got into real estate which is what I want to do full time.  

4. I am 31 years old and I have a baby girl who is almost 10 months old.  I look forward to watching the games with her this season.

1.  I live in Greensboro, NC. Moved here on a temporary basis, that has just passed 20 years. BTW, Giant86, I once also lived in Baldwin, LI (on Remsen St).

2.  I became a Giant's fan around 1954. My favorite team is still the NFL Championship team of 1956.

3.  I am retired now. Although it seems like I am busier than when I used to work for a living as a civilian. Retired from the military also, after 20 years in.

4.  Have five children, with our last one a Junior in college. Still sounds funny when I am addressed as Grandpa, Grandfather or any of the other cute phrases my grandchildren have for me.

To reiterate a remark from a few weeks ago, I am so happy to have found this board and all my old and highly intelligent friends from BBGC. 

Anyhow, I was born and raised in New Jersey and became a Giants fan for life during the Conerly/Tittle era.  Passed on from my father and every one else in the Fords, NJ area where I grew up.  I presently live in Clarksville, Maryland, which is mid-way between DC and Baltimore.

To break the ice with new acquaintances, I tell them a little bit abot myself, which goes like this:

"I have four sisters, two older and two younger.  I have a wife.  I have four daughters.  I have a female Golden Retriever and a female cat.  I also have one grandchild, naturally a granddaughter.  So if I walk around as if I'm oblivious to everything, please remember that there is a logical explanation."

I am a Certified Financial Planner and Money Manager.  I also have a fairly strong knowledge about tax matters.  Any BBGC member who would like to make financial/tax inquiries of me is welcome to do so, and I will do my best to respond, free of charge, as feasible.

c)  I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at the Veteran's Hospital in Richmond working with y0ung soldiers returning with spinal cord injuries.  I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Florida Atlantic University-Go Owls!!  I also have a master's in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Post by: LennG on August 29, 2007, 08:49:15 PM

I am one of the ones who still reside on Long Island. Just a hop, skip and a jump from Baldwin and Long Beach.

I am 61 and have always been a Giants fan. I say that because when I was a young pup, I was more a Brooklyn Dodger fan than anything else, but I still rooted for the Giants. When O'Malley (may his soul rot in hell forever) took my beloved Bums away, all my energy was directed towards the Giants and it hasn't wained since then. There have been times where it was severely tested, but my blood always has, always will, remain BLUE.

I owned a carpet cleaning business for almost 29 years, and have since given it up. I now work part time installing Lifeline machines (I've fallen and can't get up things).
I umpire baseball games for High School and college and summer leagues. been doing that now for 38 years.
I am a Viet Nam era vet, serving in the Air Force, mostly in Germany, but did a short tour in Viet Nam in the late 60's.

I have been married for 33 years to a wonderful woman who lets me watch all the football I want on Sundays, can't beat that. I have 3 grown children, all still single, with two boys still living at home.

Besides that, I live and die with my Giants. My License plate is GIANTFAN and my pleasure each day is to come here and converse with so many of the good friends I have made during all these years.

I'll join in here.

1.  I'm from central NJ and have lived within a 20 square mile area all my life.

2.  I've been a Giants fan as long as I can remember, but I actually get a little more into it every year.  (I'm forty something, and I think I've mentioned before that my development growing up had all the streets named after the great Giants of the late 50's,  Landry, Larsen, Summerall, Tripplet, Renfro, etc.  so it was destiny.)

3.  I have my own crappy business repairing warehouse equipment and automation and sometimes the work is brutal and no fun and I'm not getting rich but do it because I get to go to almost every one of my kids games and most of the time I get to coach, I can earn a living after they've grown up.

4. I've been married for 22 years to the best woman ever.  A great 22 years for me and a horrible 22 for her.

1.  I live in Somers NY in Westchester county.

2. I've been a Giant fan since 1958 when my dad took me to a Giant steeler game at Yankee stadium.  You could, at that time, buy tickets the day of the game at the stadium box office.  The Giants won on a late field goal by Pat Summeral after a late drive led by Charlie Connerley.

3.  I'm a systems auditor for a Bank in NYC and commute two hours each way.

4.  I've bee married for 28 years and have three sons.  The oldest is now going for his masters in education to become an English teacher.  The middle is going into his second year at a local college.  The youngest just started his freshman year at ASU last week.  His major is Kinesiology and hopes to someday be a trainer and a high school phys ed teacher.

1.  I live in scenic Albrightsville, in the western Pocono Mountains of PA. I built my home almost 17 years ago, escaping from NJ, where I lived most of my life in Bergen and Hudson counties. I was born in Mount Vernon NY.

2.  As a youth I hated the Giants for being losers and doormats. But I went to work at The Meadowlands when it opened in '76 and gradually learned to love the Giants by watching them develop from closeup. My father was given two season tickets my Wellington Mara in '80, and the stewardship has passed onto me in '97, on the condition that I provide them to my sister and brother equally. I attended Super Bowl XX in Pasadena, CA, and regard it as the highest point of my career as a Giants fan.

3.  I have worked for a manufacturer of piping system components as a Construction Project Manager from their Allentown, PA office for 9 years. I had been their Western Divisional Manager for the last 7, working in all states west of the Rockies, traveling often. Earlier this year I was promoted to Construction Services Training Manager, and I have been involved in hiring and training for a new design center in Mumbai (Bombay) India, and I have been living there since June. I will return to the US in September.

4.  My wife and I have been married for two years, but we've been together for 11 years now. We each have one kid from a previous marriage. My step son is 18 and about to begin college in San Diego, CA. My daughter is 17 and is about to turn all of my hair white, with her first driver's licence.

I live in Hartford, CT

I have been a fan since I was old enough - around 1968.

I work for an Insurance company.

I became a Giants fan because my Aunt had season tickets from the early 1950's until the Meadowlands. I was very fortunate to have seen the Giants twice in the old Yankee stadium, and twice in Yale Bowl while the Meadowlands was being built.

Hi to all,

I live on the campus of Florida Christian College in Kissimmee, Fl (South of Orlando). As a youngchild I lived in Rochester, NY until the age of 12. My family moved to Glenvill, NY when I was 13, and went to high school at CBA, and graduated in '95. Once I complete my degree here at FCC, my wife and I plan to move out of Florida, due to the outrageous prices in home-ownership. On average, a 3 bedroom 2 bath house here goes for roughly $300,000, and seeing how I will become an ordained minister soon, I do not believe that I will be able to afford houses in that range, so we plan on moving to states in the South (Alabama, Georgia, S. Carolina, N. Carolina, Tenn).

I have been a Giants fan since I can remember (7 or 8 years old). I used to get into trouble a lot, and my father grounded me all of the time. He couldn't trust me too much, so he used to make me sit down and watch the Giants with him. I remember him yelling at the t.v. often, and it used to make me laugh a bunch. I guess it made me like the Giants for that reason, and it just kept on growing inside me.

I am currently in college working on my major (Counseling) and minor (Youth Ministry) at Florida Christian College. I am currently in my Junior year, and work two full-time jobs. My first job is working at a local Christian High School, that enrolls students that have been expelled from the areas local public schools. Eventhough the school has the title "Christian" on it, most students are minorities that belong too, or have come from gangs of all sorts. Most kids also come from broken homes, and do not speak much of the English language. I work in the school as a tutor/counselor, and love it so much. My second job is during the summer and I run a high school summer camp for the city. I also help run D-groups for my Church, and go out and minister at pubs/bars/pool halls.

I am married to my wife (Misty), and we have 4 children. Cheyenne (10), Gracie 8, Aj (6), and Emmalee (4). Yes, we have suffered through many broken tv's in our earlier relationship years  ;D I tried out to play quarterback for a local Arena Football team and to my surprise, I made the first cutts. I was one of 4 guys who were asked to stay after the initial try outs to continue on, and than was blown away by the other 3 guys (Who all played at major D-1 colleges). I coach my College's flag football team, and also play quarterback for them. I was recently asked to coach my son and daughter's football team this year, and that is on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I am also in a steel-tip dart league, and can hold my own for most of the time.

We recently had the fantasy football draft, and I think I am a huge sleeper to win it. So watch out guys  ;)

I love sports more than anything.  Baseball and football are my two favorites.  I am more passionate about my Giants  but ironically, baseball is my favorite sports to watch.  I was an Expos season ticket holder from 2001 to 2004.  I was lucky enough to attend to the "blue Monday" game in 1981 as an 8th year old kid.  To this day, even with guys like Eric Gagn

I live in Aberdeen, South Dakota which is in the heart of Vikings country.

I've been a Giants fan since the days of Gifford, Robustelli, Huff and Y.A Tittle.

I am a mental health therapist and corporate consultant. I do extensive work in chemical dependency and domestic violence. I'm 62 years old and looking forward to retirement in two years.

I have five children and six grandchildren who all live in the Minneapolis area. I am an avid Michigan fan and travel to at least one game in the Big House every year. Love to fish and hunt. We are the mecca for pheasant hunting.

I live in Jamestown NY which is in the southwestern corner of NYS about 70 miles south of Buffalo and about 45 miles east of Erie, Pa.  Right in the middle of Bills, Steelers and Browns country.

I have been a Giants fan since the mid-50's when we would get all the Cleveland Brown's games on tv.  Just loved watching Huff vs Brown.

I worked in common carrier trucking for 20+ years in operations supervision and sales until the bottom fell out of the industry.  Since then I worked for the
Jamestown Police Department and now the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Department in communications.  We dispatch police, fire, ems and nonemergency equipment as needed. 

My son and I are both certified NYS football officials.  Yup, we are zebras and just love it.  Like Terry M.  I have a passion for golf.   And I truly stink at it.  Usually struggle to break 100.  Big fan of the Yankees and also follow the Rangers in hockey.  I enjoy watching the future stars of the NHL play in the Ontario Hockey League as Erie Pa. has a team in that league, the Otters.

1)  I live a little south of Fredericksburg Virginia, but have my home on the market. I'm looking to move back to the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania area.

2)  I've been a Giants fan since the early 80s.

3)  I'm an insurance agent. I've been in the industry for about 10 years. I've been licensed for about 7

4) I'm getting married in October, I'm selling a house, and will be looking to move soon. Based on a stress relief book I had been reading, that's three of the five most stressful things in life, and I'm looking to get them out of the way within a months time of each other. I never claimed to be the sharpest spoon in the drawer.

I'm a guitarist, producer, and writer of music. This has come to a stop recently as there isn't much time for me to take and do these things. Aside from that, I still like to play sports as much as possible. Adult flag football, adult dodgeball, basketball and volleyball are the ones I'm playing the most right now. Once I move I'll probably be looking to get back into indoor football, or possibly semi-pro, I haven't played since 2005.

Kingm56 - from one former zoomie to another - thank you for your service.

1)  What part of the Country do you live in? - Currently north of Jacksonville, Florida. - Actually closer to the Georgia border than Jacksonvile - any golfers or tennis fans might recognize Amelia Island. . .

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan? - All my life.  I like to say I was born into it because on my mother's birth certificate, the "fathers employer" states NY Giants.   I remember at a very young age in the late 60's that I would sit on my grandfathers lap listening to the game and understanding that there was no interuption at all while the game was on.  I still practice that today.

3)  What do you do for a living? - Currently a network administrator for an enterprise level (800 windows servers / 150 Mac servers) for a local school district.

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself? - I am currently in my second to last semester for my graduate degree in Information Assurance (the latest buzz word meaning Network Security).  In 4 - 5 years, we will be empty nesters and both of us want out of Florida so bad.  We are looking at the Washington / Virginia Areas (g-d forbid I go back to Redskin land - lived in Glenn Burnie 20 years ago) or the Albany area of New York.  But now that they wont have the spring training there, we might have to consider Northern New Jersey :)

1. I live just south of Albany on the opposite side of the Hudson, and like GiantsGuy I'm just about 15-20 minutes from training camp.

2. My passion for the Giants is genetically imprinted, going back to my Irish immigrant grandfather on my dad's side. My earliest memories of the Giants are from the late 60's.

3. After 20 years of running my own small advertising and PR firm, I'm currently making my living doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that -- designing graphic presentation pieces for use in trials, copywriting subbed out to me from other agencies, etc.  Also gearing up to start playing solo gigs again after a long absence from making music -- and gearing up includes growing my hair long again and getting my first tat. You're never too old to enjoy a second childhood.

4. I've got a great wife (Nora) and two great kids (Martin, 6 and Elizabeth, 13). I've just built my first electric guitar (a Telecaster copy) from a kit and am about to embark on a 'scratch build', making the body and neck myself from raw lumber. Avid reader, decent cook.

I live outside of Troy, NY. (surprise, right?).  In my career I've advised Kings, Popes and Presidents on various matters of historical importance.  I also invented the microchip and DOS, which I gave to Gordon Moore and Bill Gates respectively.

What? You say you don't like my Algore routine?  Well, OK..

I've been a Giants fan since The Game.  Allie Sherman, Al Webster, YA, Tucker Frederickson, frantic Fran, somebody Goldstyn, Phil, LT, Mark, Dave, Rodney, and Eli, I've seen them all and forgotten most.  But I've loved watching, reading, and (lately) posting about everyone of them.

Harry Carson is my all-time favorite, a great player and a class guy.  The epitome of the Giants football organization.

I worked in the field of energy economics for 30 years and still consult a bit.  Can't say I've made us energy independent or stopped global warming, but it has been interesting.

My wife and I just celebrated our 35th anniversary.  Our daugther (only child) is a truck driver.  No lie.  And I'm proud as Hell of her.

I was born in Port Jefferson, LI, and we moved to Huntington when I was still a baby.  In 3rd grade we moved to East Orange NJ and migrated to Boonton through Byram Township.  I currently live in Germany.

I've been a Giants fan since the 70s, but didn't really become a fantaic until the 80s.

I'm the program manager for the United States Air Forces in Europe's (USAFE) Emergency Management program.  I also have oversight of 106 chem/bio defense technicians supporting 92 countries throughout USAFE.  In January I'll have 25 years in the Air Force with no plans to retire for at least 2 more years.

I get up asa late/early as 2 AM on Monday to watch the Giants play if they are on TV here.  Sometimes that really hurts.

-He McGiants I'm curious how did you become a Giants fans living in the Midwest?  It's funny I live and grew up way out on the end of Long Island and before cable came out here, we're talking the early 1980's, the only broadcast football games came by the way of Providence RI and Hartford CT and because of that many of my contemporaries are New England fans.

I wonder if something similar happened out in your neck of the woods.


- Thatsnotgross don't be shy about posting here nobody is going to give you a hard time for being a novice.  In fact you'll find a lot of people eager to help you out in understanding the intricacies of the game.  They do it for me and I've been posting for 10 years on the BBWC.

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?

Since the early 1960's.

3)  What do you do for a living?

I have been in government security and law enforcement since 1980.  I presently work as a security consultant for the U.S. Department of Defense under the DTRA Cooperative Threat Reduction treaty with the Russian Federation.  I travel to Russia and former Soviet Union satellite countries performing vulnerability assessments at their biological and nuclear storage facilities.  Once our reports are reviewed and approved by US and Russian or FSU nations, our government purchases security upgrades (and we track their implementation) to assist in eliminating insider and outsider threats to those facilities.  I also train security personnel at FSU countries on how to upgrade security programs at their sites.

I work out of my home when not traveling abroad, so to pass the time and get out of the house I work P/T as a NH District Court Bailiff.       

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?

Married to the same lady since 1975.  I have two daughters; one who is married (and expecting our first grandchild) and one in college.

I live in north Jersey in Bergen county. Twenty minutes from the stadium. Transplanted from Queens, NY. Have been a fan since the early 1950s when I used to go to the  Giant games with my dad at Yankee Stadium. Can still remember the DEFENSE chant which I believe was started by Giant fans. Huff at linebacker is unforgetable. The battles with  Jim Brown of Cleveland were classic. I am now retired  from over 30 years as an orthopedic surgeon.  Have 5 children and the three boys are all Giant fans. One has to put up with  the Bear fans in Chicago.

finnref, I too remember the Sam Huff and Jim Brown battles at the old Yankee Stadium. From everything I have read, the Giants were the first NFL team to introduce the Defense before certain games, as well as starting the "DEFENSE" chant. I too am a retired, transplanted NYer (Brooklyn, Queens and LI) and also have five children (must have been something in our Fifties NYC water).

I live in Central Connecticut however I grew up in New Haven and was an usher as a kid at the Yale Bowl where the Giants played before the first Giants Stadium was built.

I've been a fan since 1966. A tough year to break in.

I am a high school principal so the frustration of the Giants pales in comparison.

I think I have seen almost every single game since 1966. Just a couple exceptions.

Yale Bowl----I'll add my hello and welcome too.  The Yale Bowl is sort of special to me.  I saw my first Giants "home game" there.  As a kid growing up in western NYS I never got to see the Giants play in Yankee Stadium in person.  I did see them play a couple of times against the Steelers in Pitt Stadium but I always wanted to go to a home game.  A good friend of mine was a huge Packer fan so we decided to make the trip east for a Giants/Packers game at the Bowl.  That of course was during the dark times and they lost.  But I had a great time and will always have a soft spot in my heart for the Yale Bowl.

The Giants won only one game in two years at the bowl. They were always competitive except for the last game vs. the Vikings in the snow (31-7). John Mendenhall was clearly the crowd favorite and the defense kept them in the game. I was a teenager but I remember how loud and zealous the fans were. There were significant fights in the stands as the Cowboy fans were at their arrogant best during the early 70's.

Been a fan since 1981.  Before hand, I was a Cowboys then Steelers "fan", but I didn't know much about football in elementary school.  When I started wanting to watch a understand the game, I realized that I would have to root for the Jets or Giants if I wanted to see them every week.  I picked the Giants because they were a stone's throw away in East Rutherford (the Jets were still in Shea at the time). 

I am an IT Director at an apparel company.

Married for 3 1/2 years with a 2 year old daughter who WILL be a Ginats fan.

Hey there.....good to be here.
I was on the other board for a couple of years and was glad to finally find this board. I was wondering where all the regulars went.

Let's see......

I'm 34 years old and live in Bergen County. I have been a Giant fan for as long as I can remember. My family has had tickets since the Polo Grounds and I have been going full time since 1984. This is actually my father's 51st year going to the games. Before that it was my Grandfather and his crew.

I've been married for almost a year and I work in financial services.
My favorite all time player is Simms, and my favorite game of all time is the 1990 Championship game against the 49ers. IT'S OVER FOR THE THREE-PEET!

I'm fairly new here but kept my screenname from other boards so I shouldn't be that much of a newbie. 



1)  What part of the Country do you live in?

Originally Long Island but now West of Boston.   There are a lot of Giants fans up here as they used to be the only team on TV prior to the merger.

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?

1981 at age 9.  Prior to that I only really watched the playoffs and actually pulled for the Cowboys but this year I was fully converted to the Giants after they needed to beat the heavily favored Cowboys in the last hame of the season on OT. 

3)  What do you do for a living?

Loan processor in a down mortgage market

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?

I get the shakes if I miss a second of a Giants game.  I bleed blue and can't sit still during games.  I wear a white jersey when the Giants do, and blue when they wear blue.  I'm always looking for new apparel, especially for my baby girl.  I just got a her a Giants binky.

1)  What part of the Country do you live in?
Recently moved to West 71st st in Manhattan after living in Washington DC.  Grew up in a military family but I guess you could call Massachusetts home.

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?
As long as I can remember.  First team I ever cared about.  When I was 4 and living in Maine I can vaguely remember watching of XXI, watched it many times since.  Remember loving to say "Stephen Baker the Touchdown Maker."

3)  What do you do for a living?
I am a Compliance Recruiter at a search firm in the city.  Worked for two years as an admissions counselor at my alma mater of American University immediately after graduation.

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
Was a member of the BBWC since 2002, and am really enjoying the new board.  One of the younger guys on the board but have always enjoyed the respectful discourse available through the Giants boards.  Never lived in the NY area before now and I'm so excited to finally be able to root for the home town team.

HondurasGiants,

I'm jealous. It sounds like you are watching more games than I am from North Carolina. Of course, in the non-televised games I could go to a sport's bar, but for personal reasons I stay at home with my "better half". Hell, my cable company doesn't even give us the NFL Network.

It's great to have you with us and I'm looking forward to your input.

I have been a Giant fan since 1986, when I was in the sixth grade.  I am also a Michigan Wolverines fan; have been so since around the same time I started following the Giants.  I am an old school kind of boy who loves to read about the history and players of the Giants and Wolverines teams of the past. 

My favorite Giant is Brad Van Pelt.

I can speak some French.  I enjoy art, music, photography, food and wine, swimming, the Jersey Shore.  My favorite TV shows are whatever's on Turner Movie Classics, I Dream Of Jeannie, many shows from the '60s and '70s.  Music-wise, I love everything from classical to doo wop to British Invasion to disco to easy listening.

I have been a Giants fan since the early 80's (ugly).  I used to listen on Armed Forces radio network prior to it coming on British TV regularly in 1984.  We get a choice of live games on Sundays and all the Thursday/Saturday/Sunday and Monday night games live here, although with the 5+ hours difference this means early morning finishes regularly (worse next year as i guess the g-men will be on a lot of night games!)

I also support Man Utd (soccer) and have a season ticket for them.  If they can win the European Cup this year that would be the perfect double with the SB, it also means I will get to go to Moscow.

I work In IT for EDS

I went to the Wembley game this year and if you had told me we would win the SB after that I would have laughed at you!

Hi to all,

1. What part of the country do you live in?

I live in Kissimmee, FL. A few miles south of Orlando. via Ft. Myers ('01-'04), via Schenectady/Scotia, NY.

2. How long have you been a Giants fan?

For as long as I can remember. My guess would be ever since 1984, only because I remember watching the SuperBowl against the Broncos fairly vividly.

3. What do I do for a living?

I currently am a full time student at Florida Christian College, majoring in Counseling/Bible. I also work full time with the City of St. Cloud/Hopkins Park. I run a teen summer camp. I also work part time for my church as an associate minister.

4. Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?

I have been with my beautiful wife Misty for nearly 12 years, and we've been married for 6. I have four children; Cheyenne (11), Gracie (9), Aj (7), and Emmalee (5). I have been sober for a little over 6 years now. I coach all of my children's flag football teams, I coach/play on my college's flag football team, and play on my church's softball team. I've been playing basketball ever since I was 7 and eventhough I'm a little older now (31), I can still play with anyone.  I've been a Christian for only 6 years and have a very long way to go. I lead a D-group on Wednesday nights for married couples. I have 2 years left in school, and am possibly moving to either Lincoln, Illinois or Cincinnati, Ohio in 2010 to go to school for my Master's Degree in Counseling. My family and I have a Wii, and my kids think I am the Super Mario Grand Master because I can beat all of the games  :laugh: My family is my life, and ever since being sober I have realized how detrimental my drinking was to my family early on. I love playing chess, and being a member here at the GC.

I live in Marina Del Rey, California about 2 blocks from the Pacific Ocean.  I have been a Giants fan since the late 1960s/early 1970s.  I grew up in the NYC area but moved out to California about 6 years ago.  I'm a University of Michigan graduate, both undergraduate and graduate school.  I bleed the maize and blue as well.

I've worked in investment banking my entire life, more specifically in fixed income structuring and trading structured mortgage derivative products, basically the exotic securities that are bringing down the world credit markets.  I love to golf, surf, ski and hike.  Living here is fantastic if you enjoys those hobbies.

I must say that I have found the tone on this board to be wonderfully more civil than on the previous BBWC board.  Many of the same folks migrated here, but I am not reading posts that rip other posters. 

Peace to all.

Good to hear from you Philosophers.  I am sure you are thrilled to the marrow with the Manningham selection.  And congratulations on Michigan for restoring some semblance of Big Ten pride when they beat Florida last year.  I look forward to your insights on football.  By the way a certain board administrator was highly agitated when the Giants did not take Mike Hart in the sixth round.  Seriously I think he's in a better spot in Indy.

I have been a Giants fan since around 1980.

I work in IT, for a local college.

I used to post on the original BBWC, then made the several switches to what is now the current board. I stopped posting on there around the time Gabes passed away, mostly because I was laid off from my job, and was too busy trying not to lose my house to post on a Giants board. Several times I almost went back, but the crowd seemed different.

Welcome Chris, you live in a really nice area.  Usually I spend a day in your home town, when I go up for my annual Albany visit.

Thanks Retro for your kind words.  I like Mario as a 3rd round pick.  He has great skills but a head that has historically been up his a$$.  I am cautiously optimistic.  He is a good route runner with  very consistent soft hands so I believe we may be seeing the last of Sinorice.  Right now, Ohio State is the class of the Big 10 with Michigan a distant second.  I love the hiring of Rich Rod as he has that kick you in the a$$ mentality that Lloyd Carr seemed to have lost.  Actually I think Rich Rod will be good for the Big 10.  Generally he has a lot of speed at every position, particularly in the interior and I think that will force the Big 10 to get faster.  OSU and the rest have speed at DBs and WRs, but generally not at LB or DL.  I think that is one reason the Big 10 gets smacked by the SEC annually.  The best hiring of Rich Rod was his S&C coach, Mike Barwis.  He makes fast players faster whereas Gittleman made fast players slower.  Michigan players will be much leaner than in year's past.  It will take 3 years to get the kind of players Rich Rod needs so I think next season could be an ugly 4 loss season.

I live in Point Lookout, New York (Long Island) but I also lived in Baldwin, Long Island for twenty years. I grew up in Brooklyn.

I've worked in Banking for the past 25 years.

I have been a Giants Fan since 1967 and during my early years as a fan I really enjoyed listening to Marty Glickman do the games on radio.

I don't post much, but I really enjoy coming here every day reading about Giants Football.

1)  I live in Rochester, NY.  I have a Cottage on Guffins Bay closer to Watertown (hence the alias).  I have more time in the summer to relax and post on the site than I do during football season. 

2)  I run engineering and operations for a Telecommunications/Networking company here in Rochester.

3)  I am 32 and have been a fan since I was about 10.  The 85 and 86 seasons are my first real memories of being enthralled watching a football game.  The NFC Championship game against the 49ers and of course the SB in 86 were it for me.  I grew up with my Grandparents mostly and they never cared for sports so I had to watch games however I could.  I remember my Grandfather had Firehouse Meetings on Monday night so I would always look forward to the G-Men on Mondays when they played.  I started to be an "Avid" fan probably in the mid-late 90's where I started watching every game and really getting to know the make up of the team.

4)  I have been posting - mostly reading - on this and other iterations of this board for almost 10 years.  I have a 3 year old Giants fan.  My wife does her own thing on Sundays (rides horses mostly) so I look forward to the 4-5 hours on Sunday with my Daughter about as much as anything in the world!

I know what you mean Cottage.  My wife isn't a football fan either and she usually goes out(a good excuse to go shopping) while the games are on.  My daughter will be 2 in November so I am going to get her started on the Giants.  I have her screaming "Yaaaaaayyy" and throwing her arms up when I say "Giants" so it's a start.

Welcome to the board.
Title: Re: **Members Profiles**- Post a little about yourself
Post by: Cottage on July 28, 2008, 10:31:14 AM
Thanks Kmed.

My Daughter was born in September, so the first football season was easy - she couldn't go anywhere  :yes:  She does cheer when they score and I taught my dog to high five when I have her sit and I say "touchdown, high five"  We worked on that for a whole season a couple years back.

Now I usually Tivo the game so for a 1:00 for example I start watching it around 2-2:30 and zip trough the commercials to keep her attention.  We play outside or whatever while the game is recording to guard against accidentally hearing a score.

1.  I now live in Tampa, FL.  I've been here a little more than 2.5 years, and wish I would have made the move 25 years ago.  My Dad was Navy, so we made the obligatory move every two years or so.  Most of my youth was spent in redskins territory...Va Beach, and near DC.

2.  I've been a NY GIANTS fan since I can remember.  My parents are both from Staten Island, and most of my relatives are Jets fans....given my disposition, pulling for the GIANTS was a no brainer.  I'm 45 now, so I've been a fan since at least the late 60's.....obviously the 70's were tough, especially considering my best friend was a cowboys fan...ouch

3.  I'm currently an IT Manager for a company in Largo, FL that focuses on risk analysis and policy management for insurance companies.  My background is in Marketing, but about 5 years ago I decided to go into the IT world.  I'm currently half way through obtaining my MCSE certification, and am not sure which direction I'll head after that...loving life in the IT world...good stuff.

4.  Up until now, I've been terminally single.....45, never been married...no jokes or questions please...lol.  Now that I'm in FL, and after I get a bit more stabilized in the new career, I'll be ready for that "Rest of My Life" lady....somehow my love for sports, and in particular, the GIANTS, has been a little stumbling block in my previous relationships....

Of course, my taste in women may have something to do with that....last two significant others have been a 'boys fan and a 'skins fan....not good.

nice to be here,
I have been a Giant fan since the 60's and grew up in Jersey City where I was one the those typical smart ass wise guys always looking for trouble, you know the type. I have been married to the same girl who I met in my freshman math class in high school for over 50 years. My first experience with the Giants goes back to Yankee Stadium on a day when we were playing the Eagles and I was sitting in the end zone seats and clearly remember hearing the bone crack in Hopalong Cassidy's leg while trying to run the ball out of the end zone on a kickoff, it was snowing, raining and sleeting, typical Giants weather. Retired now and loving it and enjoying the class of guys who post on here.....

Glad to have another member of the 'senior' division here. There are several of us who go back to the 'old' stadium. I never saw a Giants game in Yankee Stadium LIVE, but my memories of those days are as clear now, as they were back then. (or, at least I think they are  ;))

New here. Usually over at the over forum. So hai everyone!

1. Born in Dallas, still in Dallas

2. First game I really watched was the 1991 SB win.

3. Bartender

4. My dad was born outside of Dallas. Growing up he was huge Yanks fan and naturally so was I. He hated the Cowboys. He liked the Vikings, but cheered for Wash to tick off the Cowgirl fans. Yea it's confusing. So when I was a kid I picked the Giants as my team. I figured we like the Yanks, so I went with Giants. Thank God I didn't pick Jets!! My sister went with the Aints. My mom could care less. LOL

I just registered today after lurking for quite a while.  The only reason I do that is because other boards tend to do their best to intimidate females and bash them. 
Besides my intense devotion to the Giants as far back as I remember, my family and my pets mean the world to me.  I was married 45 years last June to the same guy and marvel at how he's put up with me that long.  He's very much a NASCAR fan and we highly respect each other's choices.  I have Giants paraphernalia all over the house inside and out but he is not so decorative and accepts the Giants bed set very graciously.
My mom is 96 this year and absolutely loves the Giants.  My girls aren't as avid but know not to call or drop in when the game is on. My granddaughter is also a fan at 11 and has been since she was born. My 2nd granddaughter is due next month and already has enough Giants clothes to learn to be a fan also.
The name Cosmo comes from a cat that I rescued and is a huge beast that can rock the house when he purrs.  We also have another smaller cat and a Golden Retriever who is the silliest thing imaginable.
Career-wise I'm a Corporate Controller for an Audi and a BMW dealership and love what I do.  Anybody in the market for new,used or service just holler out.  The owners are avid Giants fans and give me their season tickets a few times a year.  They are not typical car dealers in any way.  My office is also laden with Giants paraphernalia. Only one employee is a Dallas fan and one other is a Patriots fan.  The rest love the Giants which makes work enjoyable.
Amani Toomer is my heart throb and has been since day one. (I even sleep in his Jersey)  I never make excuses for a loss since everybody has one.  Some day I hope to make it up to Albany for training camp.

I second Terry's welcome. Who cafres what sex you are, all that counts is the Giants fan label.

You sound about my age, and if you nwere a Giants fan all that time, you go back to the days when most here just don't remember. But we have quite a few 'oldies but goodies' here, so you definately will fit right in.

Again, welcome.  Where are you from, then and now????

Thanks to both of you.  I grew up in North Plainfield, NJ and have spent my married life in South Bound Brook, NJ, a small town about 2 miles square where my husband grew up.  I have one son who was born with brain damage and resides close by in a development center, two daughters, two son-in-laws and one gorgeous granddaughter and a new one coming next month.  My one son-in-law goes to the games with me and when we can't watch the games together we are texting throughout the game along with most of the people I work with. 
Normally I'm not home week days. But I took a dive down the basement stairs and split my head open. As I sit here and heal I'm watching NFL Network and reading all of your articles almost 24/7. 
I do tend to get quite wordy as you can see.  But I am glad to be here and enjoy all that I see.
Thanks again.

1)  What part of the Country do you live in? Atlanta Georgia

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan? Since 1970 (I was 8 years old)

3)  What do you do for a living? I am a Sports Marketing Account Manager

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself? I was born in Canton, Ohio where my father was a Barber in the city. He enjoyed the good fortune of being "The" barber that all of the enshrinees, coaches, players etc. came to see for a clean up before Saturday. When I was a kid, I used to shine shoes of the men in the chair. Needless to say there were some great memories of that shop...and I could make this an exhaustive post. Suffice it to say, that's when football...and the Giants got in my blood, and it's never left.

3)  Maintain Communication and Navagation systems on the KC-10 Refueler

4) I am 25 and in the Air Force for 7 years now and have loved the Giants as long as I can remember back.  I have to get the Sunday Ticket to watch the games and avoid the lame 49ers and Raiders but its well worth it watching the possible dynasty in the making.

4) Married to my wife Janet for 17 years. We have 2 boys. My favorite Giants over the years have been Phil Simms, Gary Reasons, Rodney Hampton, Jesse Armstead, Amani Toomer, and now my favorite Eli Manning. Eli just like his dad, unflappable, cool under pressure, just basically a winner. Archie was the greatest QB ever not to ever appear in a playoff game.

1) I live in Rockaway, New Jersey, a short 30 minute drive to the stadium (without traffic of course!).

2) As you probably can tell from my screen name, I am a season ticket holder.  My dad had tickets back to the Yale Bowl days, but I have been going to games since the 70's.  My first real memory I have is finally getting back to the playoffs in '81.  I probably was at the fumble game in '78, but I don't remember (maybe I blocked it out!  :laugh:).

3) I am a Senior Manager for a small biotech/pharma company in Parsippany, NJ.

4) Really looking forward to some good discussion and maybe meeting up with everyone someday.  I found my way to the board from the Giant Insider one since there is so much trolling over there that I got sick of it.  Anyone who lives in the area and wants to go to a game - let me know!

I made some great video, topped off with some great play by play by John and friend, who were right behind me.

My wife and I retired in 1997 and moved from CT to FL the following year.  We maintain a home in Las Vegas where our daughter and her fiance live and whom we visit 6-7 times a year.

I'm 65 and have been a fan since the mid fifties when the local CBS affiliate began broadcasting the games.  Attended my first game at the Yale Bowl where I went to each Giants/Jets preseason game and one regular season game....the season-ending game against the Vikes, the same day OJ broke the 2,000 yard rushing barrier.  Worst days were the '70's.

I've attended about twenty games at Giant Stadium since, mostly as part of a group from the AOL Giants message board.

As I said earlier, we're retired, me from a CFO position and my bride as a teacher.

We like to travel, cruise mostly, gamble (slots for my bride and poker for me.  I also like to garden and love cruising with my all-black restored '70 Mustang Mach 1.

My favorite Giant is George Martin, a real man.

Welcome aboard Chief. Myself, I am 63 so we are from the same generation. I became a die hard when my beloved Dodgers, up and left us, after that, it was always and still is always, Giants.

I also loved to cruise. We try for (hopefully) one a year, as my wife is still working (for the NYC school system). We just got back from a Baltic cruise on the Jewel a few days ago.

WELL, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH:

I'm 77 and have been a Giant fan since 1946.  However, my first remembrance of the Giants was on Dec 7, 1941.  My family (we lived in Valley Stream  LI) were visting relatives in Woodside, Queens.  My brother & cousin were listening to the Giant/Dodger before they went into the Garden to watch the New York Americans in an NHL game.  I was playing a board game of some kind with another cousin when the network broke into the broadcast to announce the Pearl Harbor attack.  It took me another five years to pick up on the NY Football Giants.  I had first been a NY Baseball Giant fan.

I've attended Giant games in the Polo Grounds, Yankee Stadium & Giants Stadium.  I've been going to Giant games AT LEAST once a year since 1986.  Prior to that, it was fewer because of my youth, my career and my living away.

I graduated from St. John's in 1953 with a degree in Math; went directly into the USAF; trained at NYU in meteorology from '53 - '54 serving on active duty at MacDill AFB, Tampa (with several overseas trips) until '57; stayed in the active Reserve until retiring in '85.  In '57 I began working at Con Ed in their newly formed computer department.   In '59, I joined the  National Weather Service, working at Idlewild (soon to become JFK Airport); transferred to Burlington VT in as the Chief Meterologist; then came over to Portland ME (living in Gorham ME).  I retired in 1990 and still live here in Gorham.  (I LOVE IT IN ME!)

My wife, Marie, & I will celebrate out 55th anniversary tomorrow (the 11th).  As a maatter of fact, we were married in the middle of Hurricane Edna, a storm big enough that' its name has been retired.

I hope I haven't bored you all.

Oh yes, I consider Frank Gifford as "Mr.Giant."  MY two favorite players are Harry Carson & Phil Simms.

Post by: Sam56 on September 10, 2009, 09:38:49 PM
jimv,

Giff has always been my favorite Giant. I'm 67 and started following the Giants a couple of years after I started following the Yankees (although I was born in Brooklyn, raised in  Queens and than about age 12 moved to Nassau County).

Started following the Giants in 49 or 50. Giff became a Giant in 52 and in 56 when I was 14 we were NFL Champions and he was NFL MVP.

So The Mick and Giff were my two favorite sports heroes growing up and are still my two favorite Yankee and Giant players.

PS. I am an Air Force retiree (20 years active duty - 4 in the Corps and 16 in the Air Force). Welcome to the BBH.

Hey Sam, great to hear from another AF guy.  And, also a guy from my own era.  When the Giants left town, I eventually switched to the Mets (but Istill rooted for the Giants til Willie left). 

And, Burt  ("the Chief"), I'm sorry I missed your post the first time around.

Burt had a really GREAT set up at Giants Stadium; the BLUE BUS.  Ask him about it.  He's a great guy and loves micro-brews.  I introduced him to Shipyard from up here in Portland.

While I became a full fledge Giants fan when my beloved 'Bum's' picked up and moved West, they have been in my art since birth. YA was and still is my favorite all tiem Giant player. You upped and left Valley Stream, which is only a couple of miles from where I live now, in West Hempstead, but just so you won't feel deserted, my daughter lives in Valley Stream today. If we ever get out of  we want to retire to Vermont, we also like the cold. Once again, welcome to our little part of the internet.

OK Jim.  Sorry I missed your anniversary!  Congrats.  I know how important your family is to you.  You always seemed to bring one of them with you to the games.  Glad we were able to hook up.  Hope we can accomplish that again.

Had a friend and colleague whose name you might recall....Air Force Sgt. John Levitow.  While in Washington for the first inauguration of young Bush I visited his grave at Arlington.  He was a Medal of Honor recipient.

1)  What part of the Country do you live in?

Manassas in Northern VA (Redskins territory)

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?

Probably since the late 70's/early 80's.  Growing up in the catskills (Warwick, NY), we spent a lot of time outdoors and didn't watch TV much on Sundays.

3)  What do you do for a living?

Systems Engineer for a large defense contractor, mostly IT stuff.

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?

Graduated with Engineering degree from Hofstra Univ (1984).  Attended OTS and spent 7.5 years in USAF.  Have been in VA area ever since.  Got a wife of 21 years and three kids (boy 20, girl 17, boy, 14).  My oldest is shipping off with the Navy in Jan 2010.  I have been absolutely obsessed with the NY Giants for quite some time now.

Never made it there.  Got to Munich a couple of times and spent some time in Garmisch (sp) next to the Zugsptze (sp), the highest mountain in Germany.  Saw people swimming in the lake in the morning and skiing on top in the afternoon.  Cable car ride to the top was spectacular.

Overall, liked the tour.

You can lay claim to the "biggest NYG FAN" in the South, Weeze can have the South/Central West, FLADan Can have South/Central East, SonofMojo can have Central Florida (east to west) and I'll take the North East Florida Territory. . .(cant remember if anyone has the pan-handle and Western Florida claimed yet). . . :ok:

Okay - 5th generation Californian (Pasadena). Lived there the first year of my life and never since. My dad was CIA, so every two years we moved 10,000 miles. We alternated between Europe & the US. At five I spoke perfect Bavarian Deutsch (since forgotten *dang!*) Back to Maryland, then Greece.....back to Virgina. Dad left the agency and we moved to NYC, were I went to the UN School on E 23rd for High School and became a Giant Fan in the early 70's.

Currently live in Charlotte were I am a partner in a product development company, Enventys. We also produce a TV called Everyday Edisons which runs on PBS. I appear on the show regularly, which is about what it takes for ideas to become products. We also run a site called Edison Nation which links inventors to retailers with us as the only intermediary. If you have ideas for inventions, check it out.

Love to travel - the last trip was a 4-wheeling circuit around Iceland in July. If anyone is interested in Antartica - here is the link to my photo journal of that trip.

I love your comment about becoming a Giants fan in the 70's. boy, you must be a glutton for punishment. In the 70's, most other NY teams were doing pretty good, excpet our giants. You must really take in the old saying, rooting for the underdog.

Jaime, hang in there dude..

Lenn, by all means bleeder or nose is fine and thanks for the welcome. I still don't know why I became a Giants fan. I'm the only one in my family. My dad is the most shameless front runner you ever met. About the show, "check your local listings" as they say. It has been on the air in the NYC area in the past and will be available on Hulu soon.

Edison Nation is pretty cool. Retails run what are called "sponsored searches" where they define categories in which they are looking for innovation. As a member you can submit ideas specifically to fill the posted need. As far as we know, it is the only Website of it's type in the world.

I Live in New Rochelle, N.Y close to the Bronx, close to Yankee Stadium.  The lst pro game I saw was the New York Yankees vs. the Chicago Bears in the early 50's.   When the Yanks moved to Balt., the Giants moved in and I was hooked.   I'm a die-hard Giants Fan, been through all the aggravation with stupid draft choices, especially Rocky Thompson.  I'm 66 years old now, and thank God for the Giants success over the past several years.   The trips to Conn. to watch the Giants on TV during the early 60's was great and alot of fun.  The Packers were tough then.  However, the Win over the Pats, was the best ever championship.

I'm now retired from Commercial Photography, but still do DJ work occasionally. My name is Lou and remember anything that ever happens to the Giants, good or bad,  can be described in One Word....Giants!

Hello Big Blue Huddlers, I am new to your site.
I live in suburban Philadelphia and have been here for 32 years.
I grew up in North Jersey and have been a Giants fan since 1974 (first trip to Yale Bowl).
My Dad got us season tickets in 1975 and we had them until 1994.
I work in the Pharmaceutical industry.
Strange but true fact: I married into a true Philadelphia Eagle family (my father in law is Chuck Bednarik); I have successfully converted my wife to the Big Blue!
I plan to be there tomorrow to see the final game at Giants Stadium.

"my father in law is Chuck Bednarik"

One of the greatest Eagles of alltime (a Hall of Famer). Probably one of the last living Eagles with an NFL Championship (1960).

And for all you younger ones, Mr. Bednarik was the player who (legally) tackled our great Hall of Famer Frank Gifford and knocked him out of football for about 18 months.

Mcwilli, you have one hell of a father-in-law!

Welcome to our site.

1). My name is Dale and I am from Enid, Oklahoma and currently I am living in Denver, Colorado

2) I have been a Giants fan for roughly 20 years of my 29 years of existence. I really don't remember how I began to like the Giants considering I lived in Cowboy country.

3) I am an operations manager for an online scale company, OldWillKnottScales

4) I love Giants football and I am an Oklahoma Sooners football fan as well! I love fishing, hunting, motorcycles & football.
Favorite Giant of all time is LT, then Rodney Hampton.

OK  I don't think I ever got around to doing this so here goes: Name's Dennis, currently live in upstate northeastern NY an hour south of Montreal.  Born in 1947.  ready to retire.  Work for public housing modernizing the buildings.  Mostly contract management work.  Grew up in the Bronx and then the Catskills.  Played football "like a pack of crazed dogs" in HS but I was on a fairly crappy team so we lost a lot.  I made all league as a def. end.  Joined the USMC,  Went to Viet Nam in 67-68.
Married 38 years brought three children to adulthood.  Probably the thing I am most proud of is working with my wife to get three competent, smart, creative humans successfully into the world.  I've worked as a forest ranger, a hotel dining room waiter, a golf course maintenance superintendant, a landscaper- oh the list goes on and on. 
I ran a Cub scout troupe, coached baseball and soccer.  Tried to establish a children's museum in our hometown.   (failed) .  Giants fan since 59.  Met YA Tittle and Del Shofner when they first came to NY at Fordham U.  where they trained back then.  Had a whole bunch of football cards  with signatures but I don't have a clue what happened to them. 
Got 11 acres and a house that I built myself.  We lived here without running water or electricity for about 11 years.  Did some homeschooling. two of the kids were home births.  I'm always busy repairing cars, trucks, motorcycles, chainsaws, mowers and doing all that living on the land stuff like a garden, cutting and splitting firewood, drinking homemade beer (I want to figure out how to make a good whisky but I'll be dead before it ages enough.)  I'm also a Knicks fan (oh the shame) and love to watch soccer.  I play table tennis at a fairly accomplished level.  (like a crazed dog) Play in tournaments up in Montreal and over in Vermont.  I write the occasional poem, plan on making short films in my dotage.  That aught to be more than enough.

Good write-up, murder.  I'll give my official welcome.  Obviously, you don't live far from Plattsburg.  When I lived in S. Burlington VT, I used to do my USAFR training at the base.  Boy, that ferry ride across from Grand Isle in the winter was something!  Is it still running or have they built a bridge?

I work in Plattsburgh, live 20 minutes northwest of town.  About ten years ago the ferry company bought a ferry that had an ice cutter front but they could have saved their money because winters have been pretty mild for quite a while.  The biggest problem with the ferry ride comes when the wind is out of the south.  Then it gets hairy but in the winter the prevailing winds are out of the west/northwest.  The airbase was shut down in 95 and they've relocated the town airbase to that location and now it's called "Pittsburgh International Airport".  No more bombers or tankers, just flights down to Orlando and Myrtle Beach.  I think it's mostly Canadian traffic.

murder, it brings back memories.  I know about the stong south winds.  When I there, i ran the NWS Office in Burlington ('66 - '71).  One winter I made the last trip on that ferry before they closed it down for the rest of the winter. That was a toughie :o with blocks of ice clanging against the sides of the boat  I was happy I made it! #:-S

Hey peeps this is Matt, I live in Maryland and I'm 39.  I grew up in CT and started rooting for the Giants in 1986 (was also a Mets fan, what a great year that was  8))).  My wife and all of my inlaws are die-hard Eagles fans so it's good to be here amongst the good guys.  I work from home as a telecom project manager.  I've only been to one game, in 1992 vs. Green Bay which was noteworthy because LT ruptured his achilles and was lost for the rest of the season.  After that I moved to Atlanta for 12 years which was an NFL wasteland -- the Falcons were blacked out most weeks and there was no Sunday Ticket, so I focused on chasing tail and kind of lost touch with the G-men.  Since moving back up north I'm die-hard again and I love the team's current makeup.  Went to the open practice on Tuesday which was a blast.  Someone from this site gave me a roster which is how I found this forum (thanks whoever that was!).

My wife wants us to go see the Giants in the new stadium next year, for my 40th birthday.  It's only fair since I've gone to countless Eagles games with her and her obnoxious screaming Philly friends and family not to mention the Phillies rally after they won the WS.  Then she accompanied me and my cousins to the Canyon of Heroes to celebrate the miracle against the Pats (18-1 baby!!!).  Seriously, what could ever top that experience??

Anyway, don't want to ramble too much.  See you in the forums.

1)  What part of the Country do you live in? Atlanta Georgia

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan? Since 1970 (I was 8 years old)

3)  What do you do for a living? I am a Sports Marketing Account Manager

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself? I was born in Canton, Ohio where my father was a Barber in the city. He enjoyed the good fortune of being "The" barber that all of the enshrinees, coaches, players etc. came to see for a clean up before Saturday. When I was a kid, I used to shine shoes of the men in the chair. Needless to say there were some great memories of that shop...and I could make this an exhaustive post. Suffice it to say, that's when football...and the Giants got in my blood, and it's never left.



Edit to add:

I've relocated to Los Angeles to run a sports marketing firm which represents all of the radio play by play broadcasts for every NFL, MLB, NBA, and NHL team...as well as select college programs. After 9 years in the south, I'm ecstatic to be back in LA!

I don't contribute very often to these boards, but I do like to come and read all your posts to get the inside track on what's going on with the Giants now.  My interest is more Giants past than present, and I do contribute to the Giants.com history section when I have time. 
1)  What part of the Country do you live in?  I live in Connecticut, just north of Danbury near the New York border

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?  I have never not been a Giants fan, although I don't pay much attention between games

3)  What do you do for a living?  I was ordained as a minister in 1970 and for the past 20 years I've been the senior pastor of the First Congregational Church here. 

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?  my main link to the Giants was through my father who played for the team from 1929 to 1934.  He would have been 110 years old this past Sunday.  We lived in New York City and he took me to a fair share of games when I was young - we'd ride the subway - and I don't think he went to many games after they left Yankee Stadium.  He and my mother came to live with us when we moved to Connecticut, and when he celebrated his 91st birthday the Giants sent a video team up to interview him, since he still held the record for the longest run from scrimmage for the team, which was 91 yards.  It's a priceless video for me, because they asked him a lot of questions I had never asked - and generally he did not talk about himself.  Apart from the Giants I'm a very casual football fan, but I do feel a strong tie to Big Blue and always enjoy seeing them succeed.

I am from Central NJ, borderline eagle country
I am fortunate enough to go to all  home games as I become connected with a long time fan who wanted to share two of his seats
A giant fan for most of my life (being 54, that is a long time, love the yankees too).  As a kid I recall watching games whenever I could and I do recall that redskins game in the mid-60's, I will never forget.  I lived through every eagles bungle and have grown to hate the eagles as much as any other team in team in the league.  I was in London last year visiting my daughter and her boyfriend(now husband) and I subjected everyone to watch that game (my son-in-law saw a different side of me and he still married my daughter!).


I am on twitter, same name, I get into arguments with Eli haters all the time.  He will have to win 4 superbowls for the haters to accept him.


Ok too much about me already. to paraphrase Terrell Owens:


"I Love Me Some Giants"

Hi there!



1)  I'm from the South West of England.

2) I started getting back into the NFL and picked the Giants at the start of the 07 play-offs. I've watched every game on Gamepass since.

3)  I lecture law at university and I'm writing a PhD about the role of the modern day defence lawyer. All terribly dry stuff.

4) I've just turned 30, got married in 2010 and my wife and I are heading to the US to watch the Eagles @ Giants in November. I cannot wait!

I am presently living in central Jersey (about as central as it gets 3 miles north of six flags), prior to that I was in North Plainfield.

I became a Giants fan back in the early 80s when I was living in London and they first started showing games on channel 4 on sunday evenings, at the time I was playing Rugby and became fascinated with the chess game nature of football, such an interesting mixture of explosive physical strength and subtle skill. The influence that he coaching staff had on the game, calling in plays, setting defenses and moving situational players in and out of positions was comething that it took a long time to learn and appreciate (or occasionally second guess). I think I started liking the Giants during the 1986 season, watching Bravaro drag Redskins down the field and of course win.

I work as the sales manager for a company that provides services to the healthcare industry, trying to prevent hospital acquired infections, something that a number of professional sports teams could use for their locker rooms.

I am gradually getting old, I now have two kids in collage, and have had the pleasure of paying tuition whilst wondering if the boys are having too much fun.  My wife is doing a nursing course and we spend lots of time looking at text books with gory drawings and pictures.

My name is Keyshawn and I have been a Giants fan for 25 years. I live eat and sleep New york Giants football.  I am the kind of hardcore fan who gets updates on his phone when they score, even though I am still watching the game. I watch the game untill the clock say zero. No matter if we are up big or getting blownout. I was raised by my Cowgirl loving father who to this day still sends me burn up Giants gear. There has been many of broken coffee tables in my house after watching the Cowgirls play the Giants. Why he became a Cowgirl fan I don`t know. I was born and raised in NYC but moved to south Jersey for a house and trees for my wife and kids. Now I am stuck with all the no Rings Eagle fans who hate my Giants flag in my front yard. I have three kids two girls and one boy who have no choice but to be a giants fan along as they live in my house LOL just kidding.  Well thats about all, I hope we put those Miami Dolpins in a tunafish can and ship them off to Stanford for Luck to get a head start.

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?

It's so nice to see names like WORF, Drake, LennG, Wheeze, BamaGiantFan again and I hear Painter is here too.  So looking forward to reconnecting.

What part of the Country do you live in?  New York City

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan? September 1979, went with my dad when I was four years old.  Have missed about three games (on tv or person) since then. 

3)  What do you do for a living? Lawyer

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself? I like the Rangers, Yankees, Knicks (not as much), and Spurs football (EPL).  Big reader, Springsteen fan, and poker player.  Married with a son (1 years old).  Oh and this, after the Cowboys (first one in Dallas) game, I told my colleagues at work that if the Giants win the Super Bowl I would write Tom Coughlin an apology letter (for all the nasty things I said about him) and profess my undying support.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have to write the letter, but I am sure glad that I am.  (anyway does anyone know the address to send the letter?).

Glad to be here.

I probably should have responded to this a few years ago.

Ok, here we go:
I live in upstate NY, Troy, about 15 minutes from the Albany training camp site.  Sweet.
I watched my first Giants game with my father in 1958, the NFL Championship game against the Baltimore Colts.  Loved the Giants ever since [and yes, I also lived through the 60's and 70's with the team].  Not so sweet.
I work for the NYS court system in facilities management.
I am married to a great gal... she's known me for over 35 years and still likes me.  I often tell her that alone proves there's something wrong with her.
I have two grown sons, one newly married to a terrific gal that we consider a daughter more that anything else.
My youngest son flew the nest and moved to Tempe, AZ.  At least I have a warm place to visit.

1)  What part of the Country do you live in?

Upstate New York - by looking at my user name I am sure you can guess which City - born, raised, and schooled.

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?

I have developed a diehard (insane according to my wife) relationship with the Giants over the years, but I honestly do not recall "the day" that it finally clicked.  Wide Right in the Super Bowl was probably the time I first remember going crazy after a win.  I have been "all in" for quite sometime and life has adjusted around Big Blue - as my wife says "we interrupt this family for football season".  Starting the next generation as well, my 7 year old son is quickly becoming a big fan (even the dog has a jersey) and my one year old daughter is already signaling "touchdown"..

3)  What do you do for a living?

Architect

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?

Been lurking here for a while and finally decided to log-in as a member, seems like a great collection of fans.

In addition to Big Blue, I BLEED ORANGE and can't wait for the game in the Giants Stadium in September, looking forward to March Madness as well.  Also a big fan of the Yankees and, on a lesser level, the Rangers and Knickerbockers.  Finally, in the spirit of the EPL thread: COYS! (I am told I watch too much sports)

Let's Go Big Blue!

1) I am from the Jersey Shore...born in Brooklyn, moved to Jersey in mid-50's.

2) I have been a Giant Fan since the late '50's, listening to Marty Glickman and "DeRo" on the radio in the home game blackout era.  Went to my 1st game at Yankee Stadium on my 8th birthday in 1960 (they lost to St. Louis...oh well).  Pretty sure I still have a splinter in my arse from the god forsaken Yale Bowl.  Been a season ticket holder since early '90s.

3) Retired.

4) Proud to have passed on my passion for the World Champion NY Football Giants to our 3 sons and daughter.  We were all together at home for Super Bowl XLVI, and what a party it was!

Here we go, Giants, here we go!

I've been a NY Giants fan since about 1988. Been a Washington Nationals (baseball) fan since they moved to DC from Montreal in November of 2004.

I've lived in Washington DC among silly delusional Redskins fans for pretty much all of my life up until a few months ago when I moved to West Virginia.

I'm a relative newbie here and do enjoy the site.

1) I live in Westfield, New Jersey which I think of as central NJ bit others tell me it's northern.  Originally from Brooklyn but living in Westfield for 25 years. Before that we lived in the upper east side of Manhattan where we had a huge rent stabilized apartment that people never give up but we did to raise our family in the suburbs. 

2) I am almost 63 years old and my oldest memory of the Giants is the listening to the 1958 game against the Colts but I believe l was a fan since 1956. Back then, I was a big fan of Frank Gifford as were most of my friends.

3) I'm retired now ( 2years ago) but do consulting part time.  I was chief fiscal officer for an organization that gave out unbelievable amounts of grant money.  My consulting is around monitoring how grant money is spent. 

4) I've got 2 sons in their mid-twenties, one of whom is a big time Giants fans. The other is a fan but not a die hard and is getting married this summer.  My wife hates football.

Hey Guys! I've been enjoying coming on here and reading about what everyone is thinking. It's better then some of the other blogs I've been to.

1) I live about 40 minutes outside of Philly (behind enemy lines). I've lived here for over 10 years. Originally born in Brooklyn and lived most of my life on Long Island.

2) I've been a Giants fan since my inception into this world. I was born with blue blood. As a kid I watched all the games with a Giants helment on, a mouth piece in my mouth and literally 6" away from the tv screen!

3) I'm in insurance sales

4) I have 2 young kids, a beautiful wife, a dog and 2 cats. I'm living the American Dream (even though there are major storm clouds upon us!)

Thanks for the warm welcome!

1)  I grew up in Jersey and live in Connecticut now....I lived up in Maine for a few years and lets just say that after the Super Bowl in 08 I was not a popular guy. 

2)  I am 36 and have been a Giants fan my whole life....Started watching football in the early to mid 80's, it was a great time to be introduced to Giants football.

3)  In the process of opening a restaurant right now.

4)I am thrilled to have found this page.  I don't watch much of other sports so it is great to find a place where people are 365 Giants Football

I'm from upstate New York. I run a program for troubled teens. Been a fan since 1985... I was five years old and watched the wild card game against San Francisco with my Dad and got seriously hooked. I used to post over on the "Inside Football" board, I see Jim V. is a familiar name. I wonder if any of those other guys still write here?

Welcome aboard.  I believe Jamie was from that board as well.

1)  What part of the Country do you live in?  Staten Island

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?  ~1981

3)  What do you do for a living?  Teacher

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
I have been an on and off regular at bbwc for awhile, probably going back to 2005, 2006.  Maybe even earlier.  When I say on and off, I would disappear for months at a time.  Probably why I missed this place being formed.  Also never really paid much attention to the board happenings, so probably why I didn't notice a lot of what was going on back then.

Anyways, I am a season ticket holder.  This year 2 of my brothers and I took on 6 tickets from my friend.  He had 14, was looking to get rid of 8.  We took 6, another guy took 2.  I had seats through someone else going back to 2004.   Also love to take road trips to see them play.  Last year went to San Fran in November, then GB in the play-offs and the ultimate trip.  Yup, went to the Super Bowl.  This year going to Cincy, Baltimore, and possibly Atlanta.  Wanted to go back to D*ll*s, but things didn't work out with those whom I was planning on travelling.  Most of the time, I go with my wife, but she is running the NYC Marathon next month, so can't go to D*ll*s the week before.  I played football from the time I was 11 into college, now I ref HS, semi-pro, and mens rough touch.  I freely admit I can be a bit of a football snob.  I try to keep it in check, but sometimes I just can't take it.  I also try to remain even-keeled after both wins and losses.  Anything else you want to know, just ask.

Welcome coggs & bass.    I also remember coggs well from bbwc.  Great to have you over here.   I think you will like it.

As far as Fox taking over the Rivals site I hadn't noticed any big change at bbwc but last week I went to The Ranch to see what the cowpukes fans had to say about their miserable game on Monday night.   I couldn't recognize the site.  It was listed as part of Fox and was no wheres near up to date.   I didn't know any of the posters and the ones that were there just bitched about the site, little or nothing about their team.

I've welcomed you before Coggs, but now that I know you are another fellow NYer and a HS official, consider yourself welcomed again.
I have been umpiring HS baseball in the Queens and Long Island area for almost 40 years. We probably know many of the same people.

Why don't you try and make one of our functions. We are doing a sort of tailgate and watching the Giants/Bengals game at one of our people's homes in November. Why not try and attend. Guaranteed you'll have a great time, just stay away from Jaime (LOL)

Missed this when it was posted.  Thanks for the invite (although I am late on that), but I actually went to Cincy for that disaster.  Going to Atlanta this weekend, too and most likely skipping Baltimore.  I umpired out there for a while.  Worked for Blue, so I know a bunch of the old IBUA guys and have worked with guys from Big Apple and North Shore over the years.  Blue sort of merged with AFU and I wasn't into the whole AFU thing.  So, now made the switch to mens softball.  Ump games in SI only.  Should have made the switch a long time ago.  games are about 65-75 minutes, 85 minute time limit.  Best of all, I just have to wear a mask and little soccer shin guards.

Brand new here and sorry I only found this place AFTER the season...

1) Born in NYC, living in Hoboken

2) Been a fan since 1986 (11 years old), 37 yrs old now

3) Work in finance

4) I'm a huge fan of "chalk talk" and love re-watching the games on DVR in order to see if I can pick up anything about the routes or the reads. I wish I had access to the coaches' tape and in another life I'd be coaching football to middle schoolers. Besides that, big baseball fan and NYY season ticket holder and fan of books, movies, music and food. All around passion for talking sports, whether online or at a bar. Happy to be here!

Hi!  Just found this place and I'm really excited I did-- As a displaced Giants fan it can be hard to find an outlet sometimes!

1)  I'm currently living about an hour north of Los Angeles at Naval Construction Battalion Center Port Hueneme, and before moving here, I had been living in San Diego, CA since December 2010.  Home, on the other hand, is Waterbury, CT... Hence the "displaced" thing.

2)  I grew up in a Giants (and to a far lesser degree, Chargers) household, and my NFL first game was in 1989 at San Diego -- Giants won.  I remember being there despite being INCREDIBLY young, I remember it was raining my mom took me home a little early, while my dad stayed behind, haha.  I think I really took an interest in the Giants (and began to develop an understanding of the game) starting with the 2004 season.  So really, I'm kind of terrified to think that someday, Coughlin and Eli will be gone, because the Giants I've known began when they did! D:

3)  I went to school for psychometrics, with the intention of working to develop more refined measures for psychological testing, my interest in particular being high functioning autism and autism spectrum disorders.  My husband has two years left in the military, after which I would like to move back east and continue pursuing what I went to school for, but this isn't exactly the place to hold a research position.

4) Like I said, I'm looking forward to talking to fellow NYG fans on here.  If anyone is active on Twitter, follow me @sorrymymistake and I'll do the same-- really enjoy the Giants fans I've followed on there, and certainly would like to have more tweets to read, haha.

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?  since I was 14 (...I'm currently 58 -- well, for another week, but hanging on to every year!)

3)  What do you do for a living?  have my own 'virtual-COO' consulting practice, working with the the founders of emerging software/tech-based ventures whose businesses have hit a wall -- helping them get their company back on track by strategically assessing current business needs/challenges... and then working hands-on to tactically help get them to their desired 'next level' of growth

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?  Just that I love this Board -- I don't post often, but read every single entry... can't get enough on the Giants!

1)  What part of the Country do you live in? Currently I live in the Bronx, NY. I grew up in Saratoga county.


2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?
I was born a Giants fan, though I didn't watch football for most of my life. My family with the exception of 2 of my brothers were all NYG fans. So I rooted for them in passing.

Then 2007 came. I started watching the last few games of the regular season through the Superbowl run. I was hooked. The excitement was too much to ignore.

Since then, I get more and more into football every season. It's to the point that if there is football on TV, I watch it.

3)  What do you do for a living?
I work for United Tote. I'm currently station at the NYRA tracks. That will change after this summer though.

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
I love to play video games in my spare time. I also like outdoors in the summer. I guess that's it. Have a nice day!

This is just a great spot to talk Giants football without any of the garbage that goes with many other sites like this. Obviously, this is a slow time of year for all football fans, but we chug thru, but wait until the season gets going, this place rocks.

Hope to see and hear more from you.

Hey all, new to the Giants community and extremely excited for it, can't wait for even preseason to kick off.

1)  What part of the Country do you live in? Upstate NY (Albany area). If anyone can recommend good bars in the area brimming with Giants fans, I'd really appreciate any advice.

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan? 4 years after moving to NY from CA and getting back into following the NFL and all 32 teams, and couldn't be happier.

3)  What do you do for a living? Paralegal with a small local company.

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself? If there are any groups of Giants fans in the Albany metro area looking to get bigger and cheer even louder for Big Blue, let me know.

First let me also welcome you to our place. And do NOT believe anything you have been told, Jim, and I are just lovable old foggies. :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

As far as being in the Albany area, we have several members who reside a few blocks from you (maybe). Sorry you just found out about us, but for more years than we can count, we have always done a weekend thing at training camp for the group, families and all. We are all heartbroken that camp is now at the Timex center and our Albany days may be over.

Anyway Giantguy (George) lives in Troy and he can put you in touch with several others from the area.

A warm welcome to you. You have found the best spot on the internet for talking Giants football. Other places may be larger, but over here, we are known for intelligent talk. No smack, no flamers, just a bunch of Giant fans who love their team and always want to discuss them.

Hope to see and hear a lot more from you. Times are slow now, but in a few weeks watch out. Big Blue takes the field once again.

Hi Erik... first, welcome to the Board, you won't find one better.  I live in Troy and there are a few of us in the local area.  There's a guy on the Board [an Admin. actually] named RemembersHuff... he's from the Albany area as well, but you may want to disregard any directions he gives you, he gets lost a lot.

PM me and we can discuss places to go for games and some get-togethers.  My son is a huge fan as well and I'm sure he'd love to join-in.

Erik, my directions are fine - and I now have a GPS that runs through the car's 8-speaker stereo so I can turn it up louder than whoever happens to be in the passenger seat **cough**. (George, you act like PA isn't a nice state. I was trying to surprise you with a trip to see Joey in Scranton and you went and spoiled it.)

Welcome to Albany! I think you'll find most of the sports bars here have a big contingent of Giants fans -- they're the Capital Region's favorite team by a decent margin, followed by the Jets, with a smattering of Bills and Pats fans.

I'll shoot you a private message with my contact info in case you need any info about your new home base. I've been here since I was a teenager in the 70's - not as long as George, who used to trade for beaver pelts with the French and Indian trappers who traversed the Hudson, but long enough to know my way around.

I started in the right field mezzanine of Yankee Stadium in the early 60's, survived the Yale Bowl, and made it to the old Meadowlands.

Late night TV games, PSLs, horrible traffic and overpriced tickets have managed to drive me away.

One a year, I will pay the price for a single game, a Sunday at 1PM in October, and enjoy football the way it was supposed to be enjoyed.

The traffic and parking still stinks, but... occasionally I feel the need.

I remember you talking about your treatments last time you were on.

You are a long time member here. If there is anything we can ever do for you, from helping out to just an ear to listen, please do not hesitate to ask.

Glad to have you back.

Just joined up, live in Edinburgh, Scotland

Loved the NFL since we had the Scottish Claymores in town in the mid 90's

Decided to follow the Giants since NYC is the only part of America I have been too (and why would anyone choose the Jets!)

Watch most Giants games at home (even primetime that don't start until 1:30 am!)

Hoping to actually make a game at The MetLife one day, or that the Giants make it back to London

  Thanks everyone for your kind words it was a tough battle and I will continue to fight it ( I have maintenance  in October but then that should be it) my Cancer caused severe  Narapathy it is an infection of the nerve endings in your muscles  and caused very severe spasm's that had me in the hospital 8 times for 25 days between October and April. The reason they treated the cancer was to also treat the Narapathy  It worked because I refereed 25 basketball games this summer and fill great. All of your kind words mean a lot to me and I will always think of my fellow giants fans as Friends  Jim Eccles

1) I'm from Vitoria, Brazil. The city is located around 300 miles from Rio de Janeiro.

2) I saw a few games in 2010 season, but that it's all. In 2011 I really have started to follow nfl games, and i liked Giants. But I think the moment i really became a Giant was when the big blue won the game against the Jets, in 24 december 2011.

3) I'm in college. I'm a law student.

4) I'm 18 years old, and 2 months ago i went to US to visit NY and Orlando. I bought my first Giants jersey (the blue one, from Eli), and was very exciting to be in the city of my team. I hope I can go back someday and watch a Giants game at MetLife. I'm also expect to make friends here and learn a lot from you guys! And sorry for my english.

1)  I am from the Northeast, but currently in the South.

2)  I was birthed at Giants fan in 1982.

3)  Work and College

4) I haven't sweat and blooded a lot of crazy seasons with the Giants, but I am a fan through and through. To think that I have watched four of the five Super Bowls live, is every fans dream. I enjoy reading about the Giants in Yankee Stadium. I have spent a number of days in the old Albany Training camp watching one Super Bowl team form. If they win or loose I will watch all the snaps as I am able.
If I were to have a favorite game it would be the 1990 season when the Giants played the 49ners for the second time. I had to go to bed so I missed most of the first game, but the Championship game will live on in my memory forever. Hoss is the man.
My all time favorite Giant is Charlie Conerly. What a player that is overshadowed by other Giant greats like Taylor, Carson, Tittle etc.
I love the game and I love the Giants.
2014 Brings promise!

With so many new people, it seemed like a good idea for people to get to know one another.   Here is a list of questions, answer the ones you would like to answer.

1)  What part of the Country do you live in?

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?

3)  What do you do for a living?

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?

Also if you modify your profile (the profile button on the top) and put in your date of birth, your birthday will appear on the board's calendar.

Hello BIG BLUE'ers.. Here is a little about me.

1) I live in Houston, Texas.
2) I have been a Giants fan as long as I can remember, which is a very long time.
3) I am a facility coordinator for a Major Computer company
4) I would like to mention out of my entire family, I am the only Giants fan, they all are Jets fans.. Sucks for them and Dallas still sucks no matter where you live!!

Let's GO BLUE !!!!!

Just retired from 29 years as NCAA Division 1 Football official (R, BJ and Replay) and 18 years as an NCAA basketball official. Been around for awhile but keep a low profile. Not sure I am overly impressed with some of the positions put forth on the site but I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion. Not a fan of Reese or Manning. But still root for the Giants and still have my seasons tickets since 1955.

1) NY Giants fan from Gillingham in England (basically just south of London) Sounds random, and it is.

2) Been a fan since the Colts Bears Superbowl in 2006 season. Was the first NFL game I watched, and the coverage in England spent a fair amount of time talking up Peyton and how much better he is than his brother. Decided to look into it more and heard of Eli and the Giants, so picked them to be the team I'd follow. As luck would have it, they won the SB the following year (which certainly helped) and my love of the NFL has grown from there.

3) Network Security engineer for an IT firm.

4) I'm 31, have a great wife and 2 lovely little girls who are 6 and 2, both massive trouble makers, sure to cause me much stress and grief in the years to come.
....... Oh, I also follow the Braves when it comes to baseball, was on a family holiday in the US and my dad thought we should experience American sports.... So I blame him  :(

Hey, guys, nice to meet you all.  I have been a Giants fan since I was six years old and cried when my dad and his buddy left me behind when they went to watch the Giants play the Dolphins in '72.  Now I live in Seattle and am one of the few non-Seahawks fans here. 

It's nice to find what appears to be a civilized, grown up place to talk Giants, without the middle school name-calling and insults that run rampant on some other Giants sites.  I'm looking forward to voicing my opinion without being punched in the face, kicked in the ribs and called fourteen different names.

Hey, guys, nice to meet you all.  I have been a Giants fan since I was six years old and cried when my dad and his buddy left me behind when they went to watch the Giants play the Dolphins in '72.  Now I live in Seattle and am one of the few non-Seahawks fans here. 

It's nice to find what appears to be a civilized, grown up place to talk Giants, without the middle school name-calling and insults that run rampant on some other Giants sites.  I'm looking forward to voicing my opinion without being punched in the face, kicked in the ribs and called fourteen different names.

Welcome!   :greetings:  I look forward to reading your posts

Welcome GiantsForLife. Yeah, we pride ourselves in civility so don't worry about name calling or getting punched or kicked.  ;)

BTW, we have at least one other Seattle area poster here, he goes by the handle of Rafael Sabatini. He's always in the game-day chatroom but only posts here occasionally.

Welcome GiantsForLife!!  I doubt that the Rafael Sabatini from Seattle is the one who wrote "Captain Blood." :happy:

I've been following this site for some time but figured I'd officially register!

1)  I currently live in North Jersey not too far from Metlife Stadium.

2)  I've been a Giants fan since I was a child in the 1980's.

3)  I studied business in both undergrad & grad school & currently work as a Business Development Manager.

4) I am a proud season ticket holder.  I have been to some of the Giants' worst games: Brian Westbrook's punt return for td in 2003, Desean Jackson's punt return for td in 2010. But I have also witnessed some great moments: Eli Manning's 1st career win in 04 season, Odell Beckham's 1 handed catch in 2014, etc.  I follow the NYG year round and they are my first love when it comes to sports.

Been a Giants fan since before I had a choice. Been a long time Big Blue Interactive reader and poster, but BBI is full of little angry men now lol just can't take the negativity anymore. People don't share opinions there anymore, they attack each other. Not a good place for someone who tries to view things with a positive outlook and just wants to talk Giants football.

So anyway here is my background:

-Grew up in upstate NY but moved to Tampa FL 6 years ago.

-My father got 2 tryouts with the Giants in 1978 and 1979 made it to final cuts in '79

-I played for Northwestern for 2 seasons(2000-2001) as a HB turned WR, project didn't take and had my bouts with irratating injury's (hamstring, broken hand)

-After Finishing my degree became a teaching pro at a golf course in NJ for 5 years.

-Left golf to help my dad with his dream of owning a sports bar.

-After the Bar went bankrupt I now work in Florida on the corporate level for restaurant equipment and supplies.

That's probably way more info than I needed to share but I got on a roll lol

After logging into BBI everyday for the last 12+ years, I really hope this place becomes my new hub for Giants insight and news. It was actually a linked review on BBI that brought me here, it was a post from UKgiantsfan and I believe he used to be on BBI IIRC. So I figured if it's good enough for him then it's worth a shot.

Also recently through a work contact I have developed a friendship with DRC, so every now and again I get some insight and info from a current Giant.

Anyway happy to be over here now. Great time of year to be a Football Fan !

Welcome to the Board, Tampa!!!!!  Have you signed up for Dan the Man's group for the Giants/Bucs game?

I spent three years in Tampa, 1954 - 57, in the USAF, assigned to MacDill.  It was a lot different then :yes:

Thank you and I have not. Will definatly look into it though and yes Tampa has changed a lot since then. My wife is a teacher and worked on Macdill AF base at the school a couple years ago. They just redid all of the housing on base. It's awesome.

If you get a chance can you ask DRC how he views the safety situation.

I'll be in Tampa with Dan and the rest of the crew, hope you can make it.

Let me also welcome you Tampa.

Yes, we accept all people who want to talk serious Giants football, (among other things), from all those 'other' sites out there that have become tempests.   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:You just won't find anything like that over here. Just take a look thru some of our pages, open ANY topic and you will see well thought out posts and only respect for those that post their thoughts. Many of us have been here for years and we have met from time to time. We used to do a great BBQ in Albany when the Giants trained there and many have met thru that. We have a great tailgate group from those that go to games and if you glance down the board, we have people in several areas that try to get to games when the Giants play there and try and organize a group to go. We come in all ages and because of that, many of our philosophies about football differ, but we all seem to get along great.


We try and think of this place as a friendly bar where you can voice your opinion, have a debate with fellow patrons, but always do it in a respectful way.

Anyway, welcome here and hope to see your opinions on may things Giants.

Thanks guys, it's funny how different things are perceived based on the forum. I would have never posted such personal info on BBI, but I did read a few pages of posts and really like the vibe around here.

As far as DRC and the safety situation. I asked him that the week after Antrell signed with the Bears. DRC was not happy. Rolle was a huge part of him coming to NY but he understands that players leave and things change.

DRC came to New York because in his words, the league knows the Giants are like a big family and he loves Coughlin's structure. He said when he played in Philly it was a joke and the players just did what ever they want. Coughlin holds you accountable and he feels that's important to becoming your best.

also add DRC thinks that Nat could be a very good player for a long time. He also says Cooper Taylor has Natural athleticism and size that all the guys wish they had, but he is not a hard worker and does the minimum.

Tampa thanks for the info on DRC. I think Rolle also played a huge role in why DRC came to NY.

Funny about Taylor. Wasn't he shining in camp last year before he got hurt? All the talk was about how hard he worked and was ready to take it to the next level.

This is a huge opportunity for both Berhe and Taylor which may not come again. It is time to seize the moment.
Title: Re: **Members Profiles**- Post a little about yourself (now with complete list)
Post by: TampaGiant on April 28, 2015, 12:40:26 PM
DRC said Cooper is uber talented but saying your doing all you can and doing all you can are 2 totally different things. Just meaning Taylor doesn't understand what it takes at that level.

DRC said you have to be hungry in this league. This has to be do or die. A lot of players in this league Black or White don't have a good family or town to go back to. Most players are desperate to stay in the league and would do anything to be there. He said Cooper has a number of things he could fall back on and often talks of them.

To elaborate any further would be putting words in his mouth. But I think what DRC is trying to say is Cooper thinks he's giving it his all but he isn't, he's not scared of not being in the NFL. Kinda like if someone said run as far as you can, you might run 2 miles, put if someone said run as far as you can and was 2 yards behind you in a bulldozer the whole time, you could probably run 10 miles before your legs gave out.

That's how I took it anyway.

1)  What part of the Country do you live in?
Rural area in Upstate New York - somewhere within the triangle created by Syracuse-Ithaca-Binghamton

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?
Since I was old enough to understand football, around the mid-late 50's

3)  What do you do for a living?
Retired Engineer - Trainer/teacher in GD&T and SPC. Still do consulting in GD&T. After traveling the world on business for 8 years, living out of hotels and airports, I left the company and started my own electro-mechanical manufacturing company subcontracting for OEM's. Closed up shop a few years ago.

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
- Divorced
- 3 adult children (had 4, but lost my oldest son from a car accident returning from skiing)
- 6 beautiful grandchildren
- I have degrees in math / statistics and engineering, a graduate of Binghamton University
- Highly opinionated, not always right and often wrong
- hobbies: skiing, fishing, golfing, genealogy, and kind of a movie buff
- I am a gun enthusiast and have a large collection of firearms, but I haven't hunted in years. I shoot paper for fun.
- Besides being a die-hard Giants fan, I also love the Syracuse Orange (my alma mater from grad school), and I'm a discouraged Yankee fan.
- Generally speaking, I am a positive person who always sees a glass half full and tend to be overly optimistic. I tend to avoid negative people for the sake of sanity.

Hey guys

Just joined the forum today... Name's Dom and I live in Zurich, Switzerland

You have to imagine that it's quite hard to find ppl here that actually do understand something about Football AND are Giants Fans. The only one is my uncle but he's not following it so closely as I do.

I try to follow the games as good as I can through NFL GAME PASS but due to the time difference (6 hours to CET) it's sometimes complicated, especially if we play TNF, SNF or MNF.

Anyways, good to be here... Thanks for having me.

Have a good day.

If I may ask, how did you start rooting for the Giants?

We have several posters from London and a few from other parts of the world.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

It is actually a pretty ridiculous way to become a fan but at the same time I like that it was completely random (especially being in Aus where NFL isn't huge)...anyway I was like 11 or 12 years old and got my first Madden game, had no idea what team to choose but for some reason thought New York was a cool place so I picked the Giants and obviously got familiar with the players. The following year I watched my first season and I was hooked and havent missed a game since haha on reflecting I think I've been pretty lucky to be able to witness two superbowls and have such stability in the QB position over the time I've been watching. Finally made it to a live game two years ago, one of the best experiences for sure

Hi all.

I'm from Scotland (live in the Highlands), my real-world name is Ken

Been a Giants fan since roughly 84 ish.

Story is, Channel 4 in the UK started showing the NFL following its lauch in 1982.

At that time you had a highlights show round about 6pm on Sunday evening (1pm ET) basically a round up show of the previous week's games (this was pre-internet and satellite TV.....ask your parents kids).

The format was (as I recall) that there was extended highlights (i.e. 15 minutes or so) of two or three games with round ups of the other games.

So I started watching it without really understanding the game, just the spectacle.

As time passed I got a better handle on the rules etc and started to follow the game.

Anyway, as some will glean from my user name, I'm a massive Bruce Springsteen fan.
In 84 he released Born in the USA and announced a massive UK tour in 85.

I was already aware of the Giants' New Jersey connection, which was my initial "in" but at this time when C4 showed any Giants' highlights they'd accompany it with a blast of Bruce, due to the pre-tour domestic publicity here.

I remember this happening regularly, though it maybe just happened a couple of times, but it sealed my Giants fandom.

Of course the best Giants team of the modern era happened along soon after that, so maybe there's a front-runner element also.

But I've stuck with it through thick and thin ever since.

NFL fans in the UK of a certain age will recall the demands of fandom in those early days, the AFN (American Forces Network) was a God-send.

The live commentaries were the only live action available in the regular season.

The reception on a.m. was garbage, there'd be a third and two and the commentary would crackle away and you'd be left with some German oompah music.

But as time passed technology advanced and coverage improved it became less demanding to follow the game (beyond the time difference) and now every game is watchable with relative ease.

I still miss those early, static filled, commentaries .......and I still recall the despair when the phrase "Hey Flipper Anderson, for all you do this Bud's for you" came all too clearly over the airwaves.

Now I'm a middle-aged man who should know better and keeps dreadfully unsociable weekend hours from September through January in pursuit of my Jints obsession.

1)  What part of the Country do you live in?
The Twin Cities. Great place to raise the kids if I had any. The winters are pretty harsh, but at least they keep out Kim Kardashian.

2)  How long have you been a Giants fan?
Almost two years. They have a great fan base online and I love Saquon Barkley, so those things helped. But the one who really sold me on them was Joe Judge. His first press conference as Giants coach just floored me. I knew this was something I wanted to be a part of.

3)  What do you do for a living?
I work at a department store, where I tidy up shelves and ponder the mysteries of the universe.

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
I've been a football fan ever since watching Super Bowl XXIX as a kid. I love writing, listening to heavy metal, and collecting Giants merch.

I believe I am the 2nd oldest fan on the BBH.  Dan the Man is the only one older.  I'll be 89 on Sep 16th.

My earliest Giant memory is the Giant/Dodger game on Pearl Harbor day in 1941.  The announcement of the attack came over the radio during the game.

I really became interested in the Team in 1945; they lost the Championship Game to the Bears.

I entered the Board thru the good graces of Patty Traina.

I've seen just about all there is to see over the course of my fanship.

My wife Marie & ! will celebrate our 67th Wedding Anniversary in September.  We live in Gorham ME.  We've had four children; Jim, Cathy Beth & Ursula.  Jim died from the effects of diabetes in 1998.  I have two Grandchildren & one Great Grandchild.

I'm a retired Supervisory Meteorologist with NWS.  I'm also a retired Col. with the USAF.

Welcome to our boards.

If you don't mind me asking, how old you are and were you interested in football before becoming a Giants fan? Is so, did you ever root for the Vikings?

I'm 35 and yes, I have been interested in football for as long as I can remember. I grew up rooting for the Vikings, but after 20+ years I got tired of the constant playoff letdowns and moved on.

Ha, so you go from a winning franchise to a team that, over the last few years, has had the worst record in the entire NFL.   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Hey Jim,

Was it in this thread? I did a search of the thread for "Oceanside" and only one result returned. If you can provide a link to the post, I can edit it to reflect your current city/state.

1)  I was born and raised in Princeton, NJ, but have lived in the Leesburg, VA area for more than 20 years

2)  I have been a GIANTS' fan since the late 70s. It was an inauspicious start to my fandom with Miracle at the Meadowlands and the death of Troy Archer, but things got much better starting in the 80s. Five SB appearances and four SB wins have provided much joy over the years.

3)  I spent roughly 27 years in federal law enforcement with the U.S. Marshals Service, before retiring in 2017.

4)  My wife and I have committed many years to raising and competing our Rhodesian Ridgebacks in both conformation and field competitions.  This breed has been our passion since we got our first RR in 1997.

I had never heard of a Rhodesian Ridgeback. After looking that breed up, I'll say it is a very pretty dog.

Thanks!  As a fan for decades, I have always been somewhat of a lurker on multiple GIANTS fan websites.  Don't recall what year I came across Giantsfans.net, but I have been an interested casual observer for a long time.

It's great that you decided to become 'BBH Official'!  :laugh:  =D>

Looking forward to seeing more of your Giants thoughts. Glad to have you  :ok:
