Turning Giant games into a drinking game.

One can complain about the same stuff over and over again, and be
miserable. Or, one can make the best of the situation and... turn
Giant games into a drinking game. This is how it works...

Gather your buds around the TV, and have shots ready to go. Take a
shot when:
- Tiki fumbles the ball.
- The Giants get the ball inside the 10 yard line and don't score a
TD.
- The Giants miss an extra point or fieldgoal under 30 yards. Take
another shot if it was due to a poor snap or hold.
- Collins fumbles the ball.
- Collins throws a bonehead INT.
- Collins is sacked by a guy who is left unprotected.
- Mitchell returns the ball less than 5 yards, and it isn't a fair
catch.
- The other team returns a kickoff or punt more than 35 yards. Take
another shot if it is run back for a TD.
- The Giants blow a lead of 3 or more points with less than 2 minutes
left.
- Johnny Lynn fails to make a second half adjustment.
- Fassel challenges a call, uses instant replay, and it isn't
overturned.
- The Giants punt the ball when they are within their 35 yard line.
- The opposing team manages to have a running play or pass reception
of more than 30 yards or more due to a DB falling down on coverage or
at least 3 broken/missed tackles.
- An offensive lineman goes down with an injury.
- A player deemed "essential" to the Giants success goes down with
injuries.
- Toomer drops a catchable ball.
- The Giants go 3 and out.

The way the Giants are playing, it is likely people will be totally
wasted by half time.

Well it took only two plays until the first Tiki fumble. Getting
penalized for unsporstmanlike conduct for kicking the official's flag
(and the penalty flag was going against the Skins) is a new one even for
the Giants.

If you play this game, make sure you have a designated driver!

Who kicked the flag?

LOL. Whoever the new coach is we won't have to worry about the same
guys jumping offside every week or the same guys roughing the passer
every week or the same guys fumbling all the time. No other coach is
going to tolerate this crap. I don't care who the new coach no one
will ever run an NFL team like Fassel does.

Did you see the play where Ralph Brown dropped 5 yards into the end
zone and Harris had to cover the corner of the goal line from 15 yards
away in the center of the field? Did you hear Baldinger say that the
coaching, that's bad coverage for that part of the field? Damn what a
surprise.

He did ok. He won't be taking penalties like that next year. He's 31
years old though. Actually the best player on the field by far was
Strahan. He was excellent all day.

The coverages Johnny Lynn has these guys in are a joke. Even when the
starters were all playing they were all over the place. What they've done
to what was once a good defense is as big an indictment of this coaching
staff as any.

LOL...the best part about that game is that you'd pass out by the start of
the 2nd quarter and sleep peacefully through the rest of the debacle.

Add to my list, stupid penalties that cost the Giants a positive game.

During the game today, I would make a comment, "that is another shot!"
(I don't drink though).

Everyone, a bandito. Bandito, everyone.

You guys seriously need to get a grip. You care going to produce more
and more Chens if you decide to do retaliations and the Laker's
newsgroup will end up worse for it. That is the problem with spamming
EVERY newsgroup of someone you dislike for their spamming the Laker's
newsgroup. Someone else dislikes what you write and do it.

You guys are the reason why you have Chucky on your hands now. And
that is indirectly as a result of you insisting on playing a game with
me on the Knicks newsgroup. Of course, nothing will stop you, me,
Chucky or anyone else doing what is going on, which is why I don't
give a flying iota what happens now, except for the people who
maintain these newsgroups. I did try, and it was pointless.
However, usenet shouldn't be one's sewer to piss wherever they like.
Check some FAQs out and see the case of etiquette of newsgroup
posting.

Just out of curiousity, you wouldn't happen to be a liberal?

We had him on our hands when he called himself VerizonNews before we
ever set foot in the Deuce.

Just as soon as Chuck Chen cools it, we're done. Well, here at least.

I wonder if he's noticed that becuase of him, there's been attacks on
the Giants, Mets and Rangers groups and the citizens there have become
angry.

Thanks for the head up dick.... I haven't seen the memo yet but there
might be reason to belive that chucky is verizonnews. If so, your
words about how we brought this on ourselves is completely out of step
with reality.

He's such a drama queen sometimes, but then again that's sorta why we
like him so much.
