I was a New York Giants fan for almost fifty years. Ever since I was six years old and my Dad took me to Yankee stadium to see the Sam Huff Giants. I followed them through thick and thin. Like most fans I made excuses for the criminals that they put on the team because they could play ball. Lawrence Taylor. The shit head who shot himself. Countless players who had felony arrests that they got out of because they could play. ND used to bust my balls about it all the time. Well you know what? He was right.
The Giants have a number one draft choice/starting cornerback who was just arrested for armed robbery. Typical of the felons who play in the league. I hear a Bills player just got arrested today. A multi million dollar player who held up a bunch of knuckleheads and stole their money and their watches. On tape no less. Jeeze.
I gave up on the league when they started kneeling for the National Anthem. The Giants had a couple of players who did it every game. I would have cut them no matter how good they were. I bet Wellington Mara wouldn't have stood for it the way his spineless son does. I know they won't cut this felon. They will plea bargain and find a way to get him on the field.
The Giants used to stand for something. They had classic players like YA Tittle and Sam Huff. Joe Morrison. Frank Gifford and Kyle Rote. Fran Tarkenton and Tucker Fredrickson. Phil Simns and Harry Carson. Even Eli Manning. Now they have the dregs of society.
I am glad that I gave the National Felons League the Irish Goodbye. Not that it matters to them. I only pay attention when something like this hits the news. They deserve what they get.
They have betrayed their lifelong fans.

At least Plaxico just shot himself, not anyone else.
Justifying the opinion that athletic scholarship is an oxymoron.
You and me both brother.
Sad.
