Giants must be hurting for season ticket holders. I went on their website the day the schedule was announced and now they have called me twice and sent me a couple emails to see if I want to purchase season tickets. Maybe I can scoop up a deal.

One of my all-time favorites.

i think i had the Carl Banks to the HOF argument with alsacs back in the day.

he wasnt understanding how dominant LB play was in the 80s.

trying to explain that teams ran away from LT because he was a total loose canon and could make the tackle for no gain even when out of position...so they went to the right and ran into the brick wall that was Banks.

lot of 3 and outs, not many chances for extra cheap tackles.

Sounds like an Alsacs argument but he did only make All Pro and Pro Bowl once. No doubt he played in LT's shadow, but as someone who watched every game he played, he passed the eye test.

thats the thing, All Pro 1x and 1 Pro Bowl...yet 2nd team All Decade.

whats more important?

All Decade.

1 year awards can be blinded with emotion... decade award means people actually have to think.

Much better than the Red jerseys of the 00’s.

While I like the white jersey, blue numbers, I’m not a fan of the all whites or the blue pants of the 70’s.

This works and is cool.

I do prefer the ny helmet logo and gray pants though.
