I know we have a slew of Yankee fans here, and when it comes to football, we have large contingencies of Redskin, Cowboy and even a handful of Bills fans. Are there any other NY Giants fans here besides myself? * * * Yer pal, [Satan](http://www.members.tripod.com/jmspoofe/sdmb/satan.jpg) \*I HAVE BEEN SMOKE-FREE FOR: Six months, four weeks, one day, 17 hours, 3 minutes and 15 seconds. 8508 cigarettes not smoked, saving $1,063.55.

What, afraid that youā€™ll lose a bet to another Doper when the Giants beat your Iggles yet again, Monty? As for you, Falcon, we have another game coming up.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Satan \* > **What, afraid that youā€™ll lose a bet to another Doper when the Giants beat your Iggles yet again, Monty?** Considering that the next time the Eagles play the New Jersey Football Giants will either be in the NFC Championship (quite unlikelyā€¦) or early next season, I donā€™t have to worry about losing a bet with anyone else for now. And, you never got back to me on my offer to bet over the Phillies/Yankees interleague series next yearā€¦ ---

Go Giants! Itā€™s so much easier than rooting for those heartbreaking Jets. ---

Well, OK, you caught me. Sorta. While I root for the Bills in the AFC, I still like the Giants in the NFC. When they played each other in the Super Bowl, I was disappointed cause I would have preferred Buffalo to win. But I wasnā€™t totally bummed that the Giants won. So yeah, Iā€™m a Giants fan, if you want to take it as such. I even went to the Giants/Eagles game the other week. Cold, but it was a great game. ---

Satan, how about we send the Seattle Sea Buzzards over to Jersey? You are more than welcome to them! We can replace them in Seattle with Granny Sorentos quilting club. ---

Can I get half credit? Iā€™m really a Jets man, but as long as the Jints donā€™t play the Jets, I root for them. Oh, I also hate the Dallas Cokeboysā€¦ ---

Yep, I love the Giants. Or as my husband calls them ā€œThe New York Football Giants.ā€ Least respected 7-2 team in the NFL. I love watching Ron Dayne run up the middle. Hubby and I are in disagreement, however, as to whether Jason Sehorn is a big pussy or not. ---

Iā€™m a big Giants fan. What do you think about the St. Louis game on Sunday? Its a shame we donā€™t get an opportunity to beat them at full strength. ---

Well, I say itā€™s better to beat them in depleated state than to get killed to them when theyā€™re healthy! šŸ™‚ Seriously though, I see this as instant sports karma. Last year, our entire secondary was in traction when they played us. Turnabout is fair playā€¦ Not that I think weā€™ll win, but I do like our chances more than I did when I saw the gme on the schedule a few months ago!
