• 0:51
  Speaker 1: so I'm a diehard Giants fan. I was. I'm the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: for generation Giants fan, you could say, because my family
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: is the family of immigrat uh my dad, mom, like,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: we all moved here in two thousand and one and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: uh and that's when I actually I was. I was
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: like literally grew up in India at that time. Till
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: that time when I moved here, I didn't have like
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: cricket was not a sport here, so you know, I
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: mean I started watching baseball because of Yankees and stuff.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: But but then football was like one of one of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the sport that that that everyone used to play. My
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: high school football team was good a lode I Rams,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: So you know what, I wanted to know more about football.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I the temple I used to go to, everyone was
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a Giants fan there. All the kids growing up wearing
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Giants jerseys and like on Sundays had the practices. Uh.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: So I started watching football in their basement. Uh. And
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: then that's when I started to know this sport, got
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: in love with the sport. Uh. And then when Eli
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: got drafted, that's when it was a totally different vibe
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: in New York, like, oh, we got a we got
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: a nice back, Peten's brother, you know all that stuff.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: That's when I got I got to read more about
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: like what what exactly these players are, what the things are.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But then fast forward, you know when he won a
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I was a casual fan till then, I
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: mean watching games here and there, but like, you know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: rocking my Giants like gear Giants T shirt or something.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't have jersey back then. I was waiting till
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you know, I didn't know what, but why why you
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: wear jersey? Or do we wear jersey? You know. But
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: funny story, So you know, when Giants won the Super Bowl,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that's when I actually I become a diehard fan.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I understand that you actually were watching some games in
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: the basement of your seekh temple at the time. Tell
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: us about that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So so when I used to watch football in the basement,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: like you know, like with with with a bunch of
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: my friends who grew up in Giants families, that made
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: me interesting. And then after that when Eli got drafted,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: that there was a totally different vibe you know in
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: New York City, like you know, the Paton's brother is here.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: You know, Eli is going to be the next Giants quarterback.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: All so, all those all those good stories, good vibes,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and I started watching Giants more often, more like, you know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: with more interest. Fast forward to two thousand and seven,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that's when we were on the first Super Bowl. That's
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: what converted me from a part timer a fan of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants to like a die hard
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: New York Football Giants. Since then, I have not missed
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a single game either on TV or in the stadium, watching,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: rooting for them, trying with them, happy, excited, with them.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I've I've had, I have suffered or I've
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: enjoyed every single moment. But this team has given me
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: twenty eleven super Bowl. I've seen it, you know. And
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: now I'm in all this drought, like all the stuff
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: out that we have, I'm being part of it everything,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: you know. So that's so now big Blue runs in me.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: When my older son was born, the first jersey he
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: had was a Giant jersey. First shirt he had was
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a Giant shirt. His first photo shoot was a Giants
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: photo shoot, you know. Same thing I did with my
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: my little one who was born last year. He's fifteen
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: months now, same thing. His first photo shoot was a
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Giants photo shoot. So yeah, so that's that's that's that's
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: where I am. That's where I my my fandom is.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I started. I became a season ticket holder late because
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I used to go with my uncle to a few games.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I used to go with my friends to hear two
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: games here and there. Because I was never a stadium person.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: It's not like I never watched the Giants. I always
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: watched the Giants every single game, but not in the stadium.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But then my son came up to me once and
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: he said like, hey, Dad, like you know, he was
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: five years old, like four years ago. So that's when
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: he told me that I want to go to the game,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: every single game, you know, in the stadium. So I
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: was like, okay, it's time for me too. I guess
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to buy season tickets. So I started with like three
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: hundred level, the cheapest ones possible, whatever it was available.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: We sat there for a year and he was like
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that I want to move down, you know he was.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: He was pretty demanding. So I look around whatever, like,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you know, even I wanted to move down, you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: because upstairs it's not like upstairs is not fun. But
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you know the games like you know Eagles or like
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the years rounded but like all Eagles fans, because everyone
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: sells their tickets, being in the stadium is a totally
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: different wive understood. I understood after year one. And now
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going into my fourth year as a season ticket
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: holder full time, every single game, and I love being
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: part of that Giants big blue family. At the tailgates.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: A couple of tailgates have accept me. You know, they
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: welcome me every single week, they welcome my son every
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: single week. We are we are the Sunday buddies basically
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: on on any given day, game day at home.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Tell us about the content you put out there supporting
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Big Blue.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so so content wise, I'm not like a big
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: content creator. I'm not like a big analyst when it
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: comes to like sports, like not like talking Giants or
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: like you know or like Giants like other other giants,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: like content creators that are there authentic, you know. But
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: but I'm like, I'm more into like a non bias
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: like Giants fan. I'm more of a fan than than
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a content creator. You could say, I never I give
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: my honest reviews. I give my review but like I'd
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: never say I never go out and then analyze a player.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: You know. So all my videos, all my things are
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: like you know, about the Giants, like news about the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Giants or or something that's coming up, something to hyping
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: up the crowd or hyping up like you know, my
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: followers like, oh hey, this is coming up. So if
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you've seen my last few posts, I'm talking all about
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: this Giant Giant weekend that's starting tonight, from the Fan
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Fast to the five K run tomorrow going into the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Giants home opener. So I'm going to all three of them.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: This was one of the weekend I was looking for
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: starting when they when they first announced it. It's all
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: over on my wall, all all my social media channels.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I try to give away tickets. I got some extra
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: tickets from the fans who were not able to go.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I still have some few leftovers for tonight. If someone
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: that you know, someone needs a ticket, come come to
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: me and then I'll help them out.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: For the Giants to put this caliber of an event
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: on for free for their fans, what's that mean to you?
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Just me?
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I mean fan Fast has always been free. Uh,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: they never charged, but it has never been this big.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I mean they started doing fan Fast, I would say,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: if I'm not wrong or what I know of fan
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Fest has been maybe three four years now. But the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: first fan Fest was actually a pretty successful one just because, uh,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: they had a Giants practice, like the Giants offensive defensive
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: practice was on the field, so everyone actually saw the
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: first live practice. After that for two for a couple
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of years, it actually got down. Yeah, it was more
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: like it was more like a like a fan show,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: like you know, fireworks in there, a movie night last year,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing. So but this year
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: they're actually not doing a practice either, but they're bringing
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: all the legendary players on the field, the giants, one
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: hundred of whoever's alive, whoever committed to come tonight they're
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: gonna do. You're gonna see a whole lot of players
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: out there, all the legends, all the legends, plus some
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: current players too that are that are in the building.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So it's gonna it's gonna be a very nice experience.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: The first I believe this is the first time they're
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: doing a drawn show. I've never seen it because of
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the I guess they have the regulations around Tboro Airport
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and and a new work, so I guess this is
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the first time they're doing a drone show now that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: that I'm I'm looking most forward to because that will
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: that'll be a different experience. So that's why I'm taking
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: both of my kids to have them experience this. Fireworks.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: We have seen it before, you know, last year at
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the and also at the draft party. But but yeah,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: drone show. Drone show is one of the best, I mean,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: one o the things that I'm most looking forward to,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: besides the panel discussions that they're going to do it
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in the middle on the middle of the field, uh
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and and the hundred one hundred players ceremony, A lot
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of things tonight for.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: You to be a Giant season ticket holder just meet.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Is that a legacy thing for you? Are you excited
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: to eventually one day maybe past these season tickets down
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: to your kids? Is this a legacy thing for you?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, definitely. I mean that's why that's why I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: got this stuff. I did not even waste like time
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to like, you know, experience the like not being a
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: season ticket holder versus being a season too or as
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: soon as my sin came to me, I thought about it,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, it could be a
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: great investment, you know, not money wise, because you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: you know, giants like charge PSL, right, so PSL is
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: probably like an investment. Everyone thinks that as an investment,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: But if your team is not doing good, you probably
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: not be able to if you ever need to sell it,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you will not be able to get the same money
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: you back. So I didn't even think of that way
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: because I know I'm actually if I'm buying it something
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: for me right now, since I'm a first generation fan,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I can definitely give this to my both sons and
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: then they could take it from there. And I've seen
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that the people I talked to out at the tailgate
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: or people who sit next to me, there are generational fans,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and they tell me that their parents or their grandparents
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: have I understand I given these tickets to them. So
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that's a big thing. That's I'm
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I'm happy. I'm that I'm part of the such a
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: big organization. That's not that wasn't started like twenty thirty
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: years ago, but a hundred years ago, now, you know.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: So so I've seen, like I've met people who have
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: been fans of starting from day one or their family is,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: and now they're carrying that tradition.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Am I right in saying that you were in the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: running to be Giants Fan of the Year?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: So yeah, So it's pretty funny. Though I don't know,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I was nominated or not. But
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I mean Giants never made it official or they never
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: told like anybody, but I don't know if they can
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: do that. But when they announced that there's a Fan
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: of the Year competition going on, they put they put
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: one of my photo uh from the stadium on the
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: on the flyer and I was like, Okay, well that
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: that that's that's that's pretty sounds pretty amazing.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: And I took that opportunity and maybe like if I
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: reach out to my followers, I'm like, yeah, hey, I mean,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you know, Giants put me out there. Do you think
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: if I deserve it, vote for me? And and some
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: people did reach out, came back to me, and they
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: got excited. They were like, hey, definitely the kind of
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: work I do for helping out, going, going out of
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: the way and all that stuff, like I don't want
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to say good things about me, like you know, like
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: but but yeah, but so people see it, I guess.

  Speaker 2: the Giants will be and what Giant fans can expect
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: from what you've seen from training camp through the preseason,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: as as well as the fact they unretired Ray Flaherty's
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: number for wide receiver Malik Neighbors, who will certainly make
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: a difference on this team.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Right, I mean we're talking about like losing a running
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: back and getting an electric wide receiver. I mean, they're
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: two different positions, right, There's definitely gonna be two different
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: play callings for both of those positions. Yes, I do
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: understand Daniel Jones have never got his wide receiver one,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: so things gonna do look different. But losing Barkley is
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: also gonna hurt in some sort of the other because
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: he was he was actually a good like running back,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: but his injuries and his loss of time on the
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: field has drifted him away. Plus the price point, you know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: drifted him away from from the Giants. It is what
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: it is, you know. But we didn't we couldn't find
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the true replacement of him, But we did find a
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: good guy who can actually carry the ball, Devin Singletary.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Who's an NFL veteran by the way, right.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he has also worked with Dable in the past,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: so in the Bill during his time in the Bills,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: So so he knows, he knows them, he knows what
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: mindset Dable carries. Uh So, yeah, so it will be
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: it will be a good combination. And this is a
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: huge year for Daniel Jones, I mean, coming off of
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the A cl injury, uh and being a playoff one
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: one playoff game winning quarterback a year before that. Twenty
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: twenty two was a huge year. That's because of That's
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: that's why he got that contract. So I'm so looking
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: forward to him. As long as he wears that Giants blue.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I will always support you know that that quarterback. People
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: do say bad things about him and whatnot. I mean literally,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: from my point of view, he has never got like
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: he may not be a great quarterback, but he's good
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: enough to win some ball games, and that's what I
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: really want him to do with this year. He got
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: all the weapons he needed, he got all the protection
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: he wanted, he got the defensive side of the ball
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: is also very good, except the cornerback positions that we have.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: So yeah, So I mean, I'm I'm so looking forward
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: to this we should have. I mean, like I said
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: to other people as well, if prediction goes then I'm
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm thinking, if all goes well, this team stays healthy,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: everyone connects. I do see us winning at least eight
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: to nine games this year. I would definitely want a
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: nine win season because that will put us over five
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: hundred and that will be that will definitely be a
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: good sign coming what we were last year.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: You know, does the rest of the NFC East look
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: a little shakier than the Giants right now? I mean,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: is it possible toens are one of the more steady
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: teams in the division.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: I mean you could say that way, but I mean
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Eagles are Eagles were missing a good running back. I
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: mean it's not like Deander stiff Sif was a very good,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: very good running back. He was a very good running back,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: but I mean they were they needed that Barkley kind
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: of like spark, and they got it. They already they're
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: already very good in offensively, Yes, defensively they could be soft.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: That will be a challenge that I already want to see. Uh, Cowboys,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean they're they're they're known to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: choke in the in the end, you know, in the playoffs,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: you know, like that kind of I mean, they everyone
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: knows their history. Dak has been Dak. You know, he's
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: probably good in the regular season. But but I don't know,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: like they have the talent around it. Same thing. They
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: have a talent around it. It just depends on how
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: they execute it. Washington is a new team. I called
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: him a new team right now, just because they have
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a new manager, new owner, new even a new name
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: on their field and new quarterback, new everything. Right, So
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: they may be a surprise. You never know, because because
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: there's always that aura, right like the new team always
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: impresses you. Yeah, so that could be that could be it,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: you know. But with the Giants, I mean, uh, there's
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: gonna be a tough competition, you know. Vikings, if we
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: if we open up home strong, that will put us
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: into a good start, not only a good start, but
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: going then going into Washington, who's a fairly a new
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: team and and I don't see myself coming out of
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: that game not winning and then you know, or starting
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the season two and no after that is gonna be
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: our big questions with Cleveland, Who's who's a playoff caliber team?
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: And uh and then Dallas after that at home?
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: What do you think of the series Hard Knocks featuring
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: you know, Brian Dable and Joe Shane and the way
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: they've been operating the Giant team behind the scenes.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Really, it was a good reality It was a good
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: reality show. I'm sure they knew the cameras were on. Uh,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: so they were there. They were there were a few
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: things that they couldn't show and all that stuff, But
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: but it actually did from a from a fan perspective
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: from us like we have never seen Giants behind the
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: scenes like that. Uh, there's there a lot of work.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, I would I would give if I want
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: to see all those people who were part of the
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: scouting team. I would actually want to line them up
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: together and then give them up, like you know, honor,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: like you know, because they did a heck of a job.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: What What what I see from that hard knock is
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: their their effort to analyze each and every player. Uh,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to make all those trips across the country. It's not easy, man,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: like with the family in the back, you know, like
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and you're doing all that work in and out and
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: and making and try to make this team a better
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: competitive team. It was amazing, amazing done, amazingly done. I
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: wish they would have touched a little bit more on McKinney.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: McKinney was like off the chart basically they never covered it.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, like one segment they probably covered, like where Okay,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: he's asking more money, like you know, if he has
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: he was getting somewhere else, Okay, go you know that
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: kind of thing. But other than that, I mean, it
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: was Barkley was like you know Barkley, we knew it
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: from day one, Like it's going to be more on
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Barkley Barkley stuff. I'm surprised they did not touch anything
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: on Vink Martindale departure. I guess they probably want to
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: keep that behind the books, you know, they want to
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: to everyone. But overall the other thing that was very happy.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Nothing nothing different. I mean, you know, I see everything
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: like the reality of like of how the football team
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: is run, how Joe is Actually Joe showed how he
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: wants to run this football team.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Jazz meet as a season ticket older. Who have you
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: got to meet as far as Giants legends go?
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So I've met call Banks, I mean during the training
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: camps have met I've met a lot of a lot
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: of people. Uh, call Banks. I've seen Phil Simms. H
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: if you talk about the legendary like you know, legendary players. Uh.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Eli Manning came to one of our tailgate when he
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: was when he was doing a tailgate segment a couple
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: of years back that I couldn't see him face to face,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: but I was there, like you know, and I did.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I did see him like you know, like getting in
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and out of the car. You know. That's That's about it.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: But I've met Victa Cruz personally.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: David Tarry is a very good friend of mine. Like
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: we we we talk more and more often. The only
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the only the other person I really want to meet
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: is l t alt lt is on my on my list.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Uh he's uh, I mean I really want to. I
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: really I've never seen him playing because I joined the
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Giants League. But but I really want to, I really
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: want to see him. Alt is one of the best
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: players that Giants chance have ever got. You know. Uh,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: he I've seen I've seen his videos. When I was
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: getting to know more about the Giants, LT was everywhere.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: If if you search Giants best player of all time
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: or Giants best defensive player of all time, Healty always
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: comes up in the front. And Giants just proved it
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: too because the panel that they picked, the panel that
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: picked the Giants top one hundred players, ALTI is number
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: one without any doubt, you know. So yeah, so those
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: those are the few things. Uh. And LT what product
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: he brings on the field was outstanding. At that time.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: He was simply unguardable. Uh. We Giants have not got
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: that kind of person. I mean maybe a glimpse of
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: that in Michael Strahan back in the days. Uh, but
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: that's about it. L T is l T. You know, Uh,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: no one, no one was compared to him. So yeah,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: so that's that that that what makes me one is
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: the one to meet him personally and thank him, you know,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: or maybe have a picture and then I have his
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: I have his twenty five jersey that I really want
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: him to autograph.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Eli Manning is certainly someone I have on my bucket list.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: To me, I would love to meet him at some point.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Speaking of Eli Manning and legendary the two Super Bowls
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: that he won and the Giants won. You know, just
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: as you were starting to get into the Giants fandom here,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: what do those two super bowls mean to you?
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Just me that that means a lot. I mean the
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: me as a new fan of that time, We're seeing
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: the team that I'm starting to love winning two super
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Bowl Super super Bowls and within the span of four years.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: I mean that that was a dream come true. I
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: mean some I mean I see some franchises haven't even
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: win won or have only won one and done, you know,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: and winning and seeing them winning two in front of
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: my eyes, I mean like, that's that's a dream come true.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: And peting Patriots, who's who were the one of the best,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: who were the best team actually undefeatable. Uh In two
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: thousand and seven we ended their perfect season and twenty
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: eleven they were also very good and we ended them again.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: It was it was just a dream come true. I mean,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: any any true New York Giants fan would love to
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: see that.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Well, just main I'll tell you the story for me
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: is I got to know Tom Cofflin after that first
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: Giant Super Bowl even before that, and he and his
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: wife had us had a lot of games the way
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Judy cop when had it had a lot of their
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: games over the years. So we have a connection that
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: OA team and that twenty eleven team. And you know,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: I just I wear that Manning super Bowl jersey proudly.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: Every time I put it on. I had to get it,
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: you know, it's just like, how can you not.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Still I still have that two thousand and seven Super
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Bowl jersey of Manning. That was that's my first jersey
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: that actually got Remember I told you I'd never I
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: never had a jersey before, and that was that was
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: my first jersey that I bought from my pocket money
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven when Giants were going to
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and and and that that jersey. I
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: still have it. I don't wear it anymore because that's
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: it's been done, but but I still keep it because
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: that's that's that's my memory from Oh.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's that's right there, all right. And by
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: the way, real quick, as we're talking about this, did
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: you love how parallel the Super Bowls were because you
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: have the Tyree catch.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Catch in the second Super Bowl on the sideline. I'm like,
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: this drive is identical to the way they wanted.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Oh wait, I don't know if you.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Picked up on that comparison, but it's just amazing how
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: similar it looked.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: They were exactly. You know, I did. I did when
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I when I looked at it, like, you know, we
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: we the same amount of time we had. We had
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: two Super Bowls back to back in in eighties and
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: nineties and then uh and then the same thing in
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: twenty seven and eleven. We had the same amount of
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: time difference. Uh. And yeah, I mean that's that's that's
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: what that's what history. That's what this rich history of
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: this football team is, you know. And I'm so looking
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: forward hopefully this team goes in the right direction and
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: we get to see more Super Bowls and also my
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: kids are able to see their fort ever Super Bowl.
