posting this in the off chance that the tumblr community comes through…

my dad’s 60th birthday is this tuesday. in an act of (insanity?) new york giants fan-dom, he and my mom are trying to secure two tickets to the super bowl before thursday.

this is where you come in: know someone who’s selling two tickets? my parents will pay face value!

send me a message and help make a giants fan’s birthday dreams come true. :)

“Justin Tuck says he wants Plaxico Burress back in Giants blue.” - mikefiammetta

“Justin Tuck really wants Plaxico Burress to return to the Giants. “And that’s coming from the captain of the New York Giants. Tuck said check out the Giants record when Plaxico shot himself. The answer: 10-1.” - @NYPost_Schwartz

oooooooooooooh shit. justin WENT THERE.

That’s Tiki Barber, talking to the New York Post about his attempted football comeback in the sort of puff piece article that you think couldn’t possibly exist in the sports world anymore, but still manages to persist.

Snow and ice may be dominating the weather report, but January is also a great time for another very specific type of precipitation: the Gatorade shower. With the college bowl season winding down tonight and the NFL playoffs heating up this weekend, get ready to see some coaches covered in sports drink. Here are the answers to some burning questions about this fairly new tradition.

Although the exact origins of the tradition are hotly debated, former New York Giants defensive tackle Jim Burt often gets the credit for the first bath. According to Darren Rovell’s interesting book First in Thirst: How Gatorade Turned the Science of Sweat into a Cultural Phenomenon, Burt had the idea for the prank while the Giants were struggling during the 1985 season. Head coach Bill Parcells had been riding Burt pretty hard before a midseason game against the Washington Redskins, and after the Giants emerged from that game with a 17-3 win, Burt playfully dumped a cooler full of Gatorade on the Big Tuna.

gpoyw from this past saturday:

me, the new york giants fan, offering a themed cupcake to my cousin-in-law jim, the green bay packers fan, as a ‘peace offering.’ 

i guess it worked?

Q: Where is your confidence right now?

Matt Dodge: It’s good. I’m still here obviously. I came in and my locker was still here. So that was good. I’m a confident guy, regardless. Football doesn’t define me. I know it’s my job and everything, and I didn’t get it done. But I still walked out with my head high. I had family here, loving on me, and I actually had my pastor from back home here last night. So it was good. I had a lot of support.

NYTimes

is “good” the only word that matt dodge knows? because i think we can all agree that the word “good” was the last thought on every ny giants fan’s mind on sunday.

…unless it was followed by the word “grief,” that is.
