Message: [QUOTE="goofnoff, post: 4135740, member: 6909"] When I started watching pro ball the NFL wasn't on national TV, yet, and it was still a bush league. We had two channels in Syracuse and one had the Browns, and the other the Giants. Home games only as I recall. The Jints became my team. Those first 6 seasons I followed them the Jints won the division 5 of six years with Philly winning the odd year. That was the year Bednarik nearly decapitated Frank Gifford. The giants LOST in all five championship games. Then it was 24 years before they played in another. During the interim the Jints really sucked. As a lifelong Orange and Giants fan I'm inured to pain. The highs are so much more delicious when you live through the lows. Tell me you still can't see Hakeem blocking that shot or David Tyree with the "helmet catch", or Michael Owens going in for the two point conversion. Maybe I take sport too seriously but they were high points in my life. [/QUOTE]
