Everyone knows 'entire history' means 'for as long as I've been watching', aka Jones is worse than basically Manning lol

Kerry Collins, Eli and Jones. That’s it. Those are the giants QBs of my life as a fan.

Sure there are backups and injury replacements and tinder dates with Kurt Warner and Tommy Devito but for all intents and purposes it’s just those three lol.

I caught the very end of the Brown and Fossil era and even got a Fossil watch which I thought was so cool.

I remember watching my first Giants game and Brown fumbled an easy I formation snap, no reason just slipped out of his hand. I thought 'wow there can't be a worse fumble than that'.

Jets: hold my beer

Do you mean Jim Fassel or are you really talking about fossil watches?

Jets butt fumble has nothing on the miracle at the meadowlands.

I was at the game where the Jets beat the Redskins 3-0 in Washington like 30 years ago. This game gives vibes of that, lol

Yahoo says Bo Nix has minus 7 yards passing on 15 attempts? Is that correct? That is the craziest stat I have seen in a long time.

Unless you're going to pretend like you have a high powered rifle and gun down the opposing sideline, they really gotta stop calling that shit. He did the equivalent of a "pew pew!" directed at no one. Come the f*** on. I really hate the NFL, honestly.
anytime someone on this site says something like "NHL refs are the worst in sports" or generally about the NHL "best sport, worst league". I want to grab them by the face and ask them if they have ever heard of the National Football League

Lol, I'll second this. NHL officiating is far from perfect but it's a fast moving game with much less stoppage compared to football.

The NFL literally has games ruined by officiating. That Cowboys vs Giants game on Thursday night was a good example. It's college football but in the Georgia vs Bama game last night thr refs called a face mask penalty against Bama even though the complete opposite happened (GA player grabbed Bama player's face mask).

At least in the NHL you get a power play (usually) after a penalty which makes things exciting, even if it's not in your favor.

Whatever...Roll Tide!

Same thing happened to Bellinger on Thursday night. Cost the Giants 30 yards and despite being early in the game it may have been the difference points wise.
