Why are Giant fans obsessed with the Jets?
I knew the Giants winning the Super Bowl would be awful for a Jet fan but I really didn’t think Giant fans would be so obsessed with everything the Jets do. If you listen to any of the local radio shows, all you hear the past weeks is Giant fans calling in blasting the Jets for getting Tim Tebow. I keep hearing why did the Jets have a press conference for the backup quarterback? Well last time I checked, teams generally have press conferences or conference calls anytime a new player is brought in especially one as popular as Tebow. If the Jets didn’t make Tebow available for the media, they’d be getting knocked for that.
My issue with the media is the fact that it’s nowhere near objective anymore. Anyone with an opinion can state anything without checking the facts. Did I like the move to get Tebow, of course not? The reason I didn’t like it is because the media will be all over it this year and Giant fans. I went on my facebook account today and didn’t see anything from fellow Jet fans regarding Tebow. I did see multiple posts from Giant fans about how much of a joke the Jets are though. Why do Giant fans care what the Jets do?
I never really had an issue with Giant fans; I actually rooted for the Giants the first time they played the Patriots in the Super Bowl a few years back. I don’t remember any Giant fans I talk to rooting for the Jets to win either AFC Championship game they went to.
We have to face facts, yes the Giants won the Super Bowl this season and it was an amazing run. Eli Manning had a ridiculous year and is definitely one of the elite quarterback in the league but that run was filled with a ton of luck. We can start in the regular season when Victor Cruz fumbled a ball against the Cardinals and somehow the refs said he was giving himself up. I’ve been watching football since 1991 and I’ve never seen that call before.
How about the playoff game against the Packers where they somehow get a touchdown on a Hail Mary at the end of a half? One kid on the 49ers basically handed the Giants the game in the NFC Championship as well. They happened to catch the Patriots with their best offensive player (Rob Gronkowski) hurt. It’s like they got every possible bounce. How about all the fumbles they had in the postseason that they somehow always recovered. Hey, I’d rather be lucky than good too but at least someone acknowledge the incredible string of luck they had.
Last time I checked the Giants were the team who had fans burn tickets at games and had protests in the late 70’s to early 80’s because the Giants were so bad. How about the group of fans that hired a small plane to fly over a stadium with a banner saying they were sick of the bad football?
I really hope this Tebow partnership works out and we win a Super Bowl because this is going to be the only way to quiet these Giant fans.
