I just dont want the Giants to be the team that knocks the Patriots off. I feel like the Giants are the Jets big brother dealing with the big bully(Patriots) that the little brother couldn't take care of themselves. Screw that, I want the Jets to take downf the Patriots themselves, at least if the Patriots win I can still have that hope.
Well their are two outcomes,both horrible, to look at it for me living in NJ giant infested area: 1.)If the giants win I will never hear the end of it for years to come. 2.)If the patriots win i will cry just because of the fact that they go undefeated and i hate the patsies with a passion. either way it sucks to be me so really, idk who I will root for. I will probably just watch the game booing both teams and hoping that somehow it ends up with both teams getting injuryed and have that affect them year after year and they will never recover from it.:grin:
Anyone who likes pro football who isn't a Pats fan who wants to see the Pats glorified as the greatest team in NFL history is off their rocker. The Pats are the empire, the ones who own the death star, Goliath, The Russian Hockey Team, The NBA Dream Team. If they were a mining company they would stip the rockies, a lumber company there would be no old growth forests left to walk in, a Government Germany in the 30's, they are nothing less than Satan dressed up in blue and silver. The Giants may not be the perfect land lord but they did provide a clean toilet seat to piss on when the flooding in the bathrooms at Shea made us move to higher ground. In this battle rooting for the Pats over the Giants would be like rooting for Goliath against David, Russia vs USA, The Dream Team against Costa Rico, Germany against Poland, Weyhauser against The Seira Club, the Exxon Valdez against Green Peace, etc., etc., etc. Worst case scenario a Giants win reinforces our Mickey Mouse status in the metro area. I think our Mickey Mouse status is well deserved and it doesn't bother me in the least. The prospect of the Pats being considered the greatest team ever is to awful to contemplate. A Giants win makes the entire Pats season a complete failure of epic proportions. Now that's something I can get behind and enjoy.
I absolutely hate the Jets.....burning our seats during the Monday Night Game against Buffalo.....Al Toon in 1988.....sharing a Stadium with us.....Gate D.........taking Parcells.....and just being the "other team"......I wouldnt root for you guys if you were playing Satan himself.............Now I can understand those who hate the Patriots more and would rather see us win but please don't root for us because "we are New York"........I like the Yankees Giants and Rangers.....hate the Jets Mets and Islanders.......PLEASE I beg you not to root for us and none of us would root for you. Thanks!
He He we're all rooting for the Giants........because we love you........and we love New York.......and those lovely blue Jerseys.......I would love to get a LB called Satan.......:gpc:
This is a good post for Jets fans who are rooting for the Giants to read. I love all these fans that go.."Hey, I have nothing against the Giants". Read this post. They have something against you...and it ain't just this guy. Any Jets fan that was at the Jets Giants game this year would concur. Go Pats. I hope they blow the Giants doors off, and I hope it rains and the retractable roof gets stuck on open. I hope a bunch of Giants fans get left by their tour guide at the bottom of the grand canyon on Saturday.......just like the Brady Bunch did. Only the Brady Bunch didn't have Super Bowl tickets. I'm with you on the hate, Giants4ever, and by the way - I farted on your seat at the Swamp. That's why it was warm when you sat in it.
I hope the Giants win, I live in New England and all I hear from Pats fans are how good they are and how they kick the shit out of the Jets, so if they were to lose this game, than I think it could finally shut them up and I can get along with some Giants fans.
I'm not rooting for the Giants to win, I'm rooting for the patriots to loose, it feels better that way somehow.
if i didnt know you from GG i knew you werent from new york. the pats will win, the giants are thinking stop the run, we will have a chance like they did in tampa, not dallas but lambeau, the patriots did not run the ball on purpose in a couple of games to test the passing game, they will win. and if they focus on the passing game the will get burned, to many recievers to cover.
I live in NE and I will never root for the Pats. The Giants are from the same city as the Jets I can't root for them so I will just drink alot on Sunday
here's my view of things if you're a jets fan, there is absolutely no way you can root for the patriots because THE JETS. HATE. THE PATRIOTS. they are the epitome of division rivals. they cheat (against us!), lie and bend the rules (brady has been on every injury report for years) as for the giants i think jets fans only hate the giants because of their fans. if youre surrounded by giants fans who are cockier than they should be, then you tend to gain a hatred for the team. I have a few friends who are giants fans and they will talk trash on 5 yard gains. in my eyes this game isnt about who i would like to win more, its who i want to lose more and i want the patriots to lose every game everytime no matter what
I loathe the Manning family and loathe the Patriots. Unless the Giants beat the Pats on purely defensive/special team scores, this S.B. and it's aftermath is my greatest nightmare.
Why To Root For The Patriots (From A Jets Fan) I've been alive 37 years. I just missed by 2 years being alive for the Jets in the Super Bowl, not that I would have even remembered it at that age. Now, I'm suffering and sweating it out as the Giants make their 4th Super Bowl appearance during my life time. I can't imagine what it would be like to witness the Jets WIN the AFC Championship game, especially on a field goal in overtime to get this team to the Super Bowl. Even more, I can't imagine it being a HOME game in New Jersey and winning. Can you imagine the walk leaving the stadium and heading back to the car? I get chills just thinking about it. I've had a Mets World Series Win. I've had three Devils Stanley Cup Championship Wins. But, my sports life is incomplete without that Jets Super Bowl Win. I can't imagine how good it would feel? For 2 weeks my team would be in the paper with the big game being hyped up. Then, imagine waking up and not moving from the TV from 8:00 am until game time. The knots in the stomach. The pacing back and fourth. The cheers. The nausea. The sweaty palms. Seriously, I don't know if I could even handle it. I'd be a mess. Obviously, the Jets are not there yet and when they have been, it's been heart break. We were close a few times. Remember the Mud Bowl? We lost 14-0 because Don Shula didn't want Freeman McNeil to run all over their asses. So, he didn't cover the field and made it impossible to run the ball. So, it forced Richard Todd to throw the ball which he did great...to the wrong team (see AJ Duhe). Then, there was the AFC Championship in Denver. We had a 10-0 lead at half-time and then mid-way through the 3rd quarter, we had a meltdown. I think we had 6 turnovers. The game quickly became an embarrassment. The feeling inside was pure nausea. Finally, there was a game in Pittsburgh. A win there, and we'd be in the AFC Championship vs. the Patriots. But, we figured out how to blow that game by becoming too conservative and trying to kick an impossible field goal on 3rd down instead of trying to move the ball closer to make it easier on the kicker. To this day, I still don't blame Doug Brien for missing the kick. That loss was all Herm Edwards not playing the odds and not properly managing the clock. So, it was heart break again. It's been way too long since we've made the Super Bowl. The last age group to witness a Super Bowl victory was 39/40 years old and there is no way they even remember it. So, I'm saying around 7 years old, you start having sports memories. So, for arguments sake, you have to be around 47 years old to even slightly remember the Jets' Super Bowl victory over the Colts. That was EONS ago. In this same span, now the Giants, our hated cross-town rivals, are back in the game for their 4th time. I hate the Patriots as well as they are divisional rivalries. People don't understand how I can not root for the Giants. First of all, growing up, the biggest Jets rivals were the Dolphins. No one ever gave two craps about the Patriots. The Patriots didn't become our main rivals until midway through the 90's. Secondly, how can you root for your rivals in state? Not many people understand this as not many cities have TWO teams. When you only have 1 team in your area, your arch enemy becomes your division rival. For most avid Jets fans, hating the Giants is a must. And for those people that root for both the Giants and Jets because they are local, I have one thing to tell them - PISS OFF. You are not a true fan if you root for both teams. That's just stupid so their rooting interest isn't worth listening too. Some people have given me the argument of Division Rivals being deeper than Geographical Rivals. But, those giving me that argument come from Giants and Yankees fans. It's different for fans of those teams. Yankees have a long glorified history purchasing 26 or so championships. So, if the Mets made the World Series vs their hated divisional enemy, the Red Sox, they'd probably root for the Mets as there is nothing more hated than the Sox. However, if the Yankees were in the World Series playing the Braves (the Mets divisional rival), I'd root for the Braves as the history is not as strong of a rival as Yankees / Red Sox. Plus, I hate the Yankees more than any other baseball team. They've won so many World Series that no one but Yankees fans would EVER root for them. Same applies to football. The Giants are the Jets geographical rivals. Giants have now made their 4th Super Bowl and have a history of championships before the Super Bowl ever began. If the Jets were to EVER make the Super Bowl against the Cowboys, the same applies for Giants fans. The history vs the Cowboys is so much stronger and has so much more hatred than a Jets / Patriots rivalry which, in terms of NFL History, is pretty new. So, Giants fans would root for the Jets to beat the Cowboys and would bother them less than the Cowboys winning another Super Bowl. This is why the Patriots better destroy the Giants. Come on. The Giants aren't a great team. Hell...they've had a hell of a year winning all of these road games. And it makes it worse that they are in the Super Bowl after what Strahan pulled in training camp to now be rewarded with a Super Bowl appearance. Eli is a weak QB. He's made it through the play-offs playing all of the other WEAK NFC opponents as you have to play someone...right? The Bucs didn't even have a better record than the Giants but won their division to have home field advantage. I don't think the Bucs even deserved to be in the play-offs. Then, there was the Cowboys who have been NFC choke artists for 7 years. Tony Romo takes a Mexican vacation with his girlfriend a few days before the biggest game of his life and played like he was still on vacation. Now, the Giants take on the Packers who played above their heads all year. And, Farve makes his typical HUGE interception with the game on the line. Crap...all of a sudden, the Giants are in the Super Bowl. Bring on the Patriots. Yes, the Giants played the Patriots closer than any other team in the NFL but still lost. The game was meaningless. Yeah, it was nice for the Patriots to try and get to 16-0 but again, the game was meaningless. I'm not convinced they played 100% but instead, played to get by. This team is now focused on making history, trying to become the league's first 19-0 perfect season. And I don't see those Big Blue fags getting in their way. I actually think this game could be like the Super Bowls growing up - Ugly and Over by half-time. Yes, it definitely sucks that the Giants are in the Super Bowl and I'm quite jealous since I've never been in that position, but when the Jets ever do get there (knock on wood), I hope they don't run into a team of destiny.
The only thing about this super bowl that makes me squirm is all the whiny old Jets fans that seem to be having an identity crisis at a time when our biggest rival of the modern era, the most hated team in all of football, is playing our roommates in the biggest game of the year, and they are actually thinking of rooting for them. Mooks.
