The manic-depressive state of being a Giants fan

[moonwise]

(I promise I'll have something more worthwhile to post, but maybe not tonight.)

Arafel is watching the Giants-Pats game. It is dreadful.

The phone rings.

Me: "They STINK!"

My mother: "They're TERRIBLE!"

Me: "This is a travesty!"

My mother: "They can't even run against their second-stringers!"

Me: "Awful!"

*Parrot is yelling "GO GIANTS" in the background*

My mother: "Even Pedro (aunt's parrot) is trying!"

Me: "It's going to be a long season."

My mother: "Cheer fiercely!"

Me: "We must have faith!"

*hang up*

10 seconds later, Giant Shaun Williams makes an interception.

Arafel searches frantically for phone

*phone rings*

Me: "Did you SEE THAT?"

My mother: "IN-TREEEEEEEEE-CEPTION!"

Me: "There is hope!"

Of course, the Giants did nothing with it, but it's all great fun. ^_^

I actually thought the Patriots were playing like crap. I did not like the special teams coverage, or the way the defense let Tiki Barber run through them. Lucky for me the Raiders don't have a great running game, especially not now. It'll be interesting to see the corners and safeties work against Moss.

But wow. Me, in Giants Stadium December 17th, in full Chiefs regalia, screaming my throat raw in the freezing cold in section 122, row 21. It can't get here soon enough.

My only consolation in this...

... is that it doesn't count for anything. Of course, at least four NE starters were benched. Mayhap Eli ISN'T the quarterback of the future for the Jints?
