Because he calls the radio broadcast. I was in a car and had no choice.

I can't watch another 16 more games like today. It's sickening. I already paid an obscene amount of $ for Eagle vs Giants tickets. I was fool enough to think this year the Giants would be competitive. What a fool I am.

Fair enough; I wouldn't put too much stock in what he has to say.  Most times, I listen to his analysis and see something completely different on the All-22.  He's made some bold predictions concerning DJ, which have been grossly inaccurate.  It appears instead of suggesting he was wrong, he's just using a transference technique.

There's nothing wrong with being optimistic, miss86!

I'd go in disguise to the Eagle game.  It will be horrifically bad.

It's a home game. I would never go to Lincoln field. I guess I should've said Giants versus Eagles.

Hi Doc: Good one. We didn't get the game where I live, so I had to settle for listening to the Papa/Banks broadcast.  You would need to post a picture of (for example) a 1940's kid listening to an old-fashioned radio broadcast of "The Shadow" or some other horror show. Bob

Quote from: TDToomer on September 08, 2024, 08:12:07 PMSo after today are we all still just deranged? This entire thread and thread title is so offensive I am questioning why I am still even here.

If you can put up with rooting for the Giants, you can put up with reading anything... including my post. Bob

To a point I made earlier in this thread:

1. Nabers did help Jones as he was the only WR who ever found space (needs to cut out the drops)
2. It seems that he will need to be peak Jerry Rice, Randy Moss and Terrell Owens combined to help Jones enough to make him OK
If you live your life as a pessimist you never really live your life at all.

london: Those drops will cease by game five, hopefully by game three. It's just the pressure of knowing that he will actually have to EARN the money they're paying him (and ever going to pay him).  Bob

Point being is that you are comparing the criticism of our QB by equating it with a term used by supporters of a particular ex-president anytime someone pointed out his short comings which is just an awful term to use.

TD: Understood, but I want to continue to press my original point (ignoring the "wrapping paper" I used in attempting to make it). It consists of three sub-points:

(1) the fans (especially season ticket holders and people who spend a lot of good money on the Giants) deserve a lot better than what we've had to endure for the past ten years, especially during the Daniel Jones era; but

(2) there's no reason to heap on ourselves the extra discomfort and disappointment of not being able to enjoy the sport just because (for WHATEVER reason) the GM, Head Coach and Owners of the team have decided to give Jones one "final chance".

(3) IMO (and of course this is where we disagree) Jones deserved another go (so I'm guessing I agree w/Mara, who I'm certain is behind the move).
