With so many new people, it seemed like a good idea for people to get to
know one another. Here is a list of questions, answer the ones you would
like to answer.
1) What part of the Country do you live in? Atlanta Georgia
2) How long have you been a Giants fan? Since 1970 (I was 8 years old)
3) What do you do for a living? I am a Sports Marketing Account Manager
4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself? I was born in
Canton, Ohio where my father was a Barber in the city. He enjoyed the
good fortune of being "The" barber that all of the enshrinees, coaches,
players etc. came to see for a clean up before Saturday. When I was a kid, I
used to shine shoes of the men in the chair. Needless to say there were
some great memories of that shop...and I could make this an exhaustive
post. Suffice it to say, that's when football...and the Giants got in my blood,
and it's never left.

I've been a Giants fan since the days of Gifford, Robustelli, Huff and Y.A Tittle.

I just registered today after lurking for quite a while. The only reason I do
that is because other boards tend to do their best to intimidate females and
bash them.
Besides my intense devotion to the Giants as far back as I remember, my
family and my pets mean the world to me. I was married 45 years last June
to the same guy and marvel at how he's put up with me that long. He's very
much a NASCAR fan and we highly respect each other's choices. I have
Giants paraphernalia all over the house inside and out but he is not so
decorative and accepts the Giants bed set very graciously.
My mom is 96 this year and absolutely loves the Giants. My girls aren't as
avid but know not to call or drop in when the game is on. My granddaughter
is also a fan at 11 and has been since she was born. My 2nd granddaughter is
due next month and already has enough Giants clothes to learn to be a fan
also.
The name Cosmo comes from a cat that I rescued and is a huge beast that can
rock the house when he purrs. We also have another smaller cat and a
Golden Retriever who is the silliest thing imaginable.
Career-wise I'm a Corporate Controller for an Audi and a BMW dealership
and love what I do. Anybody in the market for new,used or service just
holler out. The owners are avid Giants fans and give me their season tickets
a few times a year. They are not typical car dealers in any way. My office is
also laden with Giants paraphernalia. Only one employee is a Dallas fan and
one other is a Patriots fan. The rest love the Giants which makes work
enjoyable.
Amani Toomer is my heart throb and has been since day one. (I even sleep in
his Jersey) I never make excuses for a loss since everybody has one. Some
day I hope to make it up to Albany for training camp.

1) I live in Rochester, NY. I have a Cottage on Guffins Bay closer to
Watertown (hence the alias). I have more time in the summer to relax and
post on the site than I do during football season.
2) I run engineering and operations for a Telecommunications/Networking
company here in Rochester.
3) I am 32 and have been a fan since I was about 10. The 85 and 86 seasons
are my first real memories of being enthralled watching a football game.
The NFC Championship game against the 49ers and of course the SB in 86
were it for me. I grew up with my Grandparents mostly and they never cared
for sports so I had to watch games however I could. I remember my
Grandfather had Firehouse Meetings on Monday night so I would always
look forward to the G-Men on Mondays when they played. I started to be an
"Avid" fan probably in the mid-late 90's where I started watching every
game and really getting to know the make up of the team.
4) I have been posting - mostly reading - on this and other iterations of this
board for almost 10 years. I have a 3 year old Giants fan. My wife does her
own thing on Sundays (rides horses mostly) so I look forward to the 4-5
hours on Sunday with my Daughter about as much as anything in the world!

To reiterate a remark from a few weeks ago, I am so happy to have found this board and
all my old and highly intelligent friends from BBGC.
Anyhow, I was born and raised in New Jersey and became a Giants fan for life during the
Conerly/Tittle era. Passed on from my father and every one else in the Fords, NJ area
where I grew up. I presently live in Clarksville, Maryland, which is mid-way between
DC and Baltimore.
To break the ice with new acquaintances, I tell them a little bit about myself, which goes
like this:
"I have four sisters, two older and two younger. I have a wife. I have four daughters. I
have a female Golden Retriever and a female cat. I also have one grandchild, naturally a
granddaughter. So if I walk around as if I'm oblivious to everything, please remember
that there is a logical explanation."
I am a Certified Financial Planner and Money Manager. I also have a fairly strong
knowledge about tax matters. Any BBGC member who would like to make financial/tax
inquiries of me is welcome to do so, and I will do my best to respond, free of charge, as
feasible.

I love the Giants, Mets, Knicks and Rangers. I play a very little golf and completely

I live in Northern New Jersey- Bergen County, about 15 minutes from the

Been a fan since 1965(9 yrs. old) with vague memories of 1964. Tucker
Frederickson was my favorite player. I inherited Giantitis from my
father(may he rest in peace).
I am an executive recruiter with a focus on advertising/marketing
professionals that support the pharmaceutical industry.

I live in north Jersey in Bergen county. Twenty minutes from the stadium.
Transplanted from Queens, NY. Have been a fan since the early 1950s when
I used to go to the Giant games with my dad at Yankee Stadium. Can still
remember the DEFENSE chant which I believe was started by Giant fans.
Huff at linebacker is unforgetable. The battles with Jim Brown of Cleveland
were classic. I am now retired from over 30 years as an orthopedic surgeon.
Have 5 children and the three boys are all Giant fans. One has to put up with
the Bear fans in Chicago.

cheered for Wash to tick off the Cowgirl fans. Yea it's confusing. So when I
was a kid I picked the Giants as my team. I figured we like the Yanks, so I
went with Giants. Thank God I didn't pick Jets!! My sister went with the

nice to be here,
I have been a Giant fan since the 60's and grew up in Jersey City where I was
one the those typical smart ass wise guys always looking for trouble, you
know the type. I have been married to the same girl who I met in my
freshman math class in high school for over 50 years. My first experience
with the Giants goes back to Yankee Stadium on a day when we were
playing the Eagles and I was sitting in the end zone seats and clearly
remember hearing the bone crack in Hopalong Cassidy's leg while trying to
run the ball out of the end zone on a kickoff, it was snowing, raining and
sleeting, typical Giants weather. Retired now and loving it and enjoying the
class of guys who post on here.....

Kingm56 - from one former zoomie to another - thank you for your service.
1) What part of the Country do you live in? - Currently north of
Jacksonville, Florida. - Actually closer to the Georgia border than
Jacksonvile - any golfers or tennis fans might recognize Amelia Island. . .
2) How long have you been a Giants fan? - All my life. I like to say I was
born into it because on my mother's birth certificate, the "fathers employer"
states NY Giants. I remember at a very young age in the late 60's that I
would sit on my grandfathers lap listening to the game and understanding
that there was no interuption at all while the game was on. I still practice
that today.
3) What do you do for a living? - Currently a network administrator for an
enterprise level (800 windows servers / 150 Mac servers) for a local school
district.
4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself? - I am currently
in my second to last semester for my graduate degree in Information
Assurance (the latest buzz word meaning Network Security). In 4 - 5 years,
we will be empty nesters and both of us want out of Florida so bad. We are
looking at the Washington / Virginia Areas (g-d forbid I go back to Redskin
land - lived in Glenn Burnie 20 years ago) or the Albany area of New York.
But now that they wont have the spring training there, we might have to
consider Northern New Jersey :)

I am one of the ones who still reside on Long Island. Just a hop, skip and a jump from
Baldwin and Long Beach.
I am 61 and have always been a Giants fan. I say that because when I was a young pup, I
was more a Brooklyn Dodger fan than anything else, but I still rooted for the Giants.
When O'Malley (may his soul rot in hell forever) took my beloved Bums away, all my
energy was directed towards the Giants and it hasn't wained since then. There have been
times where it was severely tested, but my blood always has, always will, remain BLUE.
I owned a carpet cleaning business for almost 29 years, and have since given it up. I now
work part time installing Lifeline machines (I've fallen and can't get up things).
I umpire baseball games for High School and college and summer leagues. been doing
that now for 38 years.
I am a Viet Nam era vet, serving in the Air Force, mostly in Germany, but did a short
tour in Viet Nam in the late 60's.
I have been married for 33 years to a wonderful woman who lets me watch all the
football I want on Sundays, can't beat that. I have 3 grown children, all still single, with
two boys still living at home.
Besides that, I live and die with my Giants. My License plate is GIANTFAN and my
pleasure each day is to come here and converse with so many of the good friends I have
made during all these years.

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
I love sports more than anything. Baseball and football are my two favorites. I
am more passionate about my Giants but ironically, baseball is my favorite sports
to watch. I was an Expos season ticket holder from 2001 to 2004. I was lucky
enough to attend to the "blue Monday" game in 1981 as an 8th year old kid. To
this day, even with guys like Eric Gagné and Russell Martin being the pride of the
Montreal area, I still hate the Dodgers.
I had my 15 minutes of fame twice when I was interviewed by Chuck Johnson of
the USA today and Joe Lapointe of the NY times. The Lapointe column is my

departure but when he discovered that my wife and I became partners in life
because of our love for the Expos, he decided to insert our story in one of his

Now that I'm finally on board this site (I know, took me long enough) I
figured this would be the best place to start posting. By the way, I've been
wondering where most of you disappeared to - it's good to see you all again.
I live in Dubuque, IA and I'm probably the only Giants fan who's never
actually set foot in New York. Crazy, isn't it? I just had my 33rd birthday on
the 25th and I've been a Giants fan for well over 20 years (22 to be exact).

I live in Point Lookout, New York (Long Island) but I also lived in Baldwin,
Long Island for twenty years. I grew up in Brooklyn.
I've worked in Banking for the past 25 years.
I have been a Giants Fan since 1967 and during my early years as a fan I
really enjoyed listening to Marty Glickman do the games on radio.
I don't post much, but I really enjoy coming here every day reading about
Giants Football.

1) What part of the Country do you live in?
I presently live in Keene, NH
2) How long have you been a Giants fan?
Since the early 1960's.
3) What do you do for a living?
I have been in government security and law enforcement since 1980. I presently
work as a security consultant for the U.S. Department of Defense under the
DTRA Cooperative Threat Reduction treaty with the Russian Federation. I travel
to Russia and former Soviet Union satellite countries performing vulnerability
assessments at their biological and nuclear storage facilities. Once our reports are
reviewed and approved by US and Russian or FSU nations, our government
purchases security upgrades (and we track their implementation) to assist in
eliminating insider and outsider threats to those facilities. I also train security
personnel at FSU countries on how to upgrade security programs at their sites.
I work out of my home when not traveling abroad, so to pass the time and get out
of the house I work P/T as a NH District Court Bailiff.
4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
Married to the same lady since 1975. I have two daughters; one who is married
(and expecting our first grandchild) and one in college.

1. I now live in Tampa, FL. I've been here a little more than 2.5 years, and
wish I would have made the move 25 years ago. My Dad was Navy, so we
made the obligatory move every two years or so. Most of my youth was
spent in redskins territory...Va Beach, and near DC.
2. I've been a NY GIANTS fan since I can remember. My parents are both
from Staten Island, and most of my relatives are Jets fans....given my
disposition, pulling for the GIANTS was a no brainer. I'm 45 now, so I've
been a fan since at least the late 60's.....obviously the 70's were tough,
especially considering my best friend was a cowboys fan...ouch
3. I'm currently an IT Manager for a company in Largo, FL that focuses on
risk analysis and policy management for insurance companies. My
background is in Marketing, but about 5 years ago I decided to go into the IT
world. I'm currently half way through obtaining my MCSE certification, and
am not sure which direction I'll head after that...loving life in the IT
world...good stuff.
4. Up until now, I've been terminally single.....45, never been married...no
jokes or questions please...lol. Now that I'm in FL, and after I get a bit more
stabilized in the new career, I'll be ready for that "Rest of My Life"
lady....somehow my love for sports, and in particular, the GIANTS, has been
a little stumbling block in my previous relationships....
Of course, my taste in women may have something to do with that....last two
significant others have been a 'boys fan and a 'skins fan....not good.

3) What do you do for a living?
Work in the IT sector, used to like it.
4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
I like the Giants, fishing, and music, but not all at the same time.
Two "kids" daughter 21 and son 24.
My wife was recently diagnosed with MS though currently doing quite well.
Post by: OGHWGA on August 29, 2007, 09:28:33 PM
I'll join in here.
1. I'm from central NJ and have lived within a 20 square mile area all my life.
2. I've been a Giants fan as long as I can remember, but I actually get a little more into it
every year. (I'm forty something, and I think I've mentioned before that my development
growing up had all the streets named after the great Giants of the late 50's, Landry,
Larsen, Summerall, Tripplet, Renfro, etc. so it was destiny.)
3. I have my own crappy business repairing warehouse equipment and automation and
sometimes the work is brutal and no fun and I'm not getting rich but do it because I get to
go to almost every one of my kids games and most of the time I get to coach, I can earn a
living after they've grown up.
4. I've been married for 22 years to the best woman ever. A great 22 years for me and a
horrible 22 for her. Post by: pagan43 on August 30, 2007, 02:47:35 AM
1. I live in scenic Albrightsville, in the western Pocono Mountains of PA. I built my
home almost 17 years ago, escaping from NJ, where I lived most of my life in
Bergen and Hudson counties. I was born in Mount Vernon NY.
2. As a youth I hated the Giants for being losers and doormats. But I went to
work at The Meadowlands when it opened in '76 and gradually learned to love the
Giants by watching them develop from closeup. My father was given two season
tickets my Wellington Mara in '80, and the stewardship has passed onto me in '97,
on the condition that I provide them to my sister and brother equally. I attended
Super Bowl XX in Pasadena, CA, and regard it as the highest point of my career
as a Giants fan.
3. I have worked for a manufacturer of piping system components as a
Construction Project Manager from their Allentown, PA office for 9 years. I had
been their Western Divisional Manager for the last 7, working in all states west of
the Rockies, traveling often. Earlier this year I was promoted to Construction
Services Training Manager, and I have been involved in hiring and training for a
new design center in Mumbai (Bombay) India, and I have been living there since
June. I will return to the US in September.
4. My wife and I have been married for two years, but we've been together for 11
years now. We each have one kid from a previous marriage. My step son is 18
and about to begin college in San Diego, CA. My daughter is 17 and is about to
turn all of my hair white, with her first driver's license

I live in Houston, TX now. Born in Hoboken, raised in Jersey City until 7th grade, then
lived in Norman, Oklahoma for the next 15 or so years.
2) How long have you been a Giants fan?
Since I can remember. I remember dressing up as LT during Halloween in the 3rd
grade. I didn't become a diehard, follow every off-season move, read the boxscore
religiously fanatic until I moved to Norman, Oklahoma and was surrounded by Cow fans.
3) What do you do for a living?
I am in my 2nd year of law school. I worked for 4 years as a computer programmer
before that.
4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
Diehard University of Oklahoma fan as well. Had 50 yardline, row 25 seats for the OUBoise St. Fiesta Bowl... in the University of Phoenix Stadium. In about 13 months, that
stadium has hosted a top 5 BCS game where my team lost and a top 5 Super Bowl where
my team won.

I live in Marina Del Rey, California about 2 blocks from the Pacific Ocean.
I have been a Giants fan since the late 1960s/early 1970s. I grew up in the
NYC area but moved out to California about 6 years ago. I'm a University of
Michigan graduate, both undergraduate and graduate school. I bleed the
maize and blue as well.
I've worked in investment banking my entire life, more specifically in fixed
income structuring and trading structured mortgage derivative products,
basically the exotic securities that are bringing down the world credit
markets. I love to golf, surf, ski and hike. Living here is fantastic if you
enjoys those hobbies.
I must say that I have found the tone on this board to be wonderfully more
civil than on the previous BBWC board. Many of the same folks migrated

1. I live just south of Albany on the opposite side of the Hudson, and like
GiantsGuy I'm just about 15-20 minutes from training camp.
2. My passion for the Giants is genetically imprinted, going back to my
Irish immigrant grandfather on my dad's side. My earliest memories of
the Giants are from the late 60's.
3. After 20 years of running my own small advertising and PR firm, I'm
currently making my living doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that
-- designing graphic presentation pieces for use in trials, copywriting
subbed out to me from other agencies, etc. Also gearing up to start
playing solo gigs again after a long absence from making music -- and
gearing up includes growing my hair long again and getting my first tat.
You're never too old to enjoy a second childhood.
4. I've got a great wife (Nora) and two great kids (Martin, 6 and
Elizabeth, 13). I've just built my first electric guitar (a Telecaster copy)

and neck myself from raw lumber. Avid reader, decent cook.

I live in Sheffield, England and am 42 y.o.
I have been a Giants fan since the early 80's (ugly). I used to listen on
Armed Forces radio network prior to it coming on British TV regularly in
1984. We get a choice of live games on Sundays and all the
Thursday/Saturday/Sunday and Monday night games live here, although
with the 5+ hours difference this means early morning finishes regularly
(worse next year as i guess the g-men will be on a lot of night games!)
I also support Man Utd (soccer) and have a season ticket for them. If they
can win the European Cup this year that would be the perfect double with the
SB, it also means I will get to go to Moscow.
I work In IT for EDS
I went to the Wembley game this year and if you had told me we would win
the SB after that I would have laughed at you!

1) I live a little south of Fredericksburg Virginia, but have my home on the market.
I'm looking to move back to the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania area.
2) I've been a Giants fan since the early 80s.
3) I'm an insurance agent. I've been in the industry for about 10 years. I've been
licensed for about 7
4) I'm getting married in October, I'm selling a house, and will be looking to move
soon. Based on a stress relief book I had been reading, that's three of the five most
stressful things in life, and I'm looking to get them out of the way within a months
time of each other. I never claimed to be the sharpest spoon in the drawer.
I'm a guitarist, producer, and writer of music. This has come to a stop recently as
there isn't much time for me to take and do these things. Aside from that, I still
like to play sports as much as possible. Adult flag football, adult dodgeball,
basketball and volleyball are the ones I'm playing the most right now. Once I
move I'll probably be looking to get back into indoor football, or possibly semipro, I haven't played since 2005.

register a nick name, and as a usual reader of BBI, I enjoy the maturity and respectful
nature you guys try to bring to the discussion board. Those other guys just get plain
annoying after a while. I'll continue to read on, and thanks for introducing me.

I work in IT, for a local college.
I used to post on the original BBWC, then made the several switches to what

Hey there.....good to be here.
I was on the other board for a couple of years and was glad to finally find
this board. I was wondering where all the regulars went.
Let's see......
I'm 34 years old and live in Bergen County. I have been a Giant fan for as
long as I can remember. My family has had tickets since the Polo Grounds
and I have been going full time since 1984. This is actually my father's 51st
year going to the games. Before that it was my Grandfather and his crew.
I've been married for almost a year and I work in financial services.
My favorite all time player is Simms, and my favorite game of all time is the
1990 Championship game against the 49ers. IT'S OVER FOR THE THREEPEET!

Hi to all,
I live on the campus of Florida Christian College in Kissimmee, Fl (South of
Orlando). As a youngchild I lived in Rochester, NY until the age of 12. My
family moved to Glenvill, NY when I was 13, and went to high school at
CBA, and graduated in '95. Once I complete my degree here at FCC, my
wife and I plan to move out of Florida, due to the outrageous prices in homeownership. On average, a 3 bedroom 2 bath house here goes for roughly
$300,000, and seeing how I will become an ordained minister soon, I do not
believe that I will be able to afford houses in that range, so we plan on
moving to states in the South (Alabama, Georgia, S. Carolina, N. Carolina,
Tenn).
I have been a Giants fan since I can remember (7 or 8 years old). I used to
get into trouble a lot, and my father grounded me all of the time. He couldn't
trust me too much, so he used to make me sit down and watch the Giants
with him. I remember him yelling at the t.v. often, and it used to make me
laugh a bunch. I guess it made me like the Giants for that reason, and it just
kept on growing inside me.
I am currently in college working on my major (Counseling) and minor
(Youth Ministry) at Florida Christian College. I am currently in my Junior
year, and work two full-time jobs. My first job is working at a local Christian
High School, that enrolls students that have been expelled from the areas
local public schools. Eventhough the school has the title "Christian" on it,
most students are minorities that belong too, or have come from gangs of all
sorts. Most kids also come from broken homes, and do not speak much of the
English language. I work in the school as a tutor/counselor, and love it so
much. My second job is during the summer and I run a high school summer
camp for the city. I also help run D-groups for my Church, and go out and
minister at pubs/bars/pool halls.
I am married to my wife (Misty), and we have 4 children. Cheyenne (10),
Gracie 8, Aj (6), and Emmalee (4). Yes, we have suffered through many
broken tv's in our earlier relationship years ;D I tried out to play quarterback
for a local Arena Football team and to my surprise, I made the first cutts. I
was one of 4 guys who were asked to stay after the initial try outs to continue
on, and than was blown away by the other 3 guys (Who all played at major
D-1 colleges). I coach my College's flag football team, and also play
quarterback for them. I was recently asked to coach my son and daughter's
football team this year, and that is on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I am
also in a steel-tip dart league, and can hold my own for most of the time.
We recently had the fantasy football draft, and I think I am a huge sleeper to
win it. So watch out guys ;)

Hi to all,
1. What part of the country do you live in?
I live in Kissimmee, FL. A few miles south of Orlando. via Ft. Myers ('01'04), via Schenectady/Scotia, NY.
2. How long have you been a Giants fan?
For as long as I can remember. My guess would be ever since 1984, only
because I remember watching the SuperBowl against the Broncos fairly
vividly.
3. What do I do for a living?
I currently am a full time student at Florida Christian College, majoring in
Counseling/Bible. I also work full time with the City of St. Cloud/Hopkins
Park. I run a teen summer camp. I also work part time for my church as an
associate minister.
4. Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
I have been with my beautiful wife Misty for nearly 12 years, and we've been
married for 6. I have four children; Cheyenne (11), Gracie (9), Aj (7), and
Emmalee (5). I have been sober for a little over 6 years now. I coach all of
my children's flag football teams, I coach/play on my college's flag football
team, and play on my church's softball team. I've been playing basketball
ever since I was 7 and eventhough I'm a little older now (31), I can still play
with anyone. I've been a Christian for only 6 years and have a very long way
to go. I lead a D-group on Wednesday nights for married couples. I have 2
years left in school, and am possibly moving to either Lincoln, Illinois or
Cincinnati, Ohio in 2010 to go to school for my Master's Degree in
Counseling. My family and I have a Wii, and my kids think I am the Super
Mario Grand Master because I can beat all of the games :laugh: My family
is my life, and ever since being sober I have realized how detrimental my
drinking was to my family early on. I love playing chess, and being a
member here at the GC.

1. I live in Somers NY in Westchester county.
2. I've been a Giant fan since 1958 when my dad took me to a Giant steeler game
at Yankee stadium. You could, at that time, buy tickets the day of the game at the
stadium box office. The Giants won on a late field goal by Pat Summeral after a
late drive led by Charlie Connerley.
3. I'm a systems auditor for a Bank in NYC and commute two hours each way.
4. I've bee married for 28 years and have three sons. The oldest is now going for
his masters in education to become an English teacher. The middle is going into
his second year at a local college. The youngest just started his freshman year at
ASU last week. His major is Kinesiology and hopes to someday be a trainer and
a high school phys ed teacher. .

I have been a fan since I was old enough - around 1968.
I work for an Insurance company.
I became a Giants fan because my Aunt had season tickets from the early 1950's
until the Meadowlands. I was very fortunate to have seen the Giants twice in the
old Yankee stadium, and twice in Yale Bowl while the Meadowlands was being
built.

I'm fairly new here but kept my screenname from other boards so I shouldn't
be that much of a newbie.
1) What part of the Country do you live in?
Originally Long Island but now West of Boston. There are a lot of Giants
fans up here as they used to be the only team on TV prior to the merger.
2) How long have you been a Giants fan?
1981 at age 9. Prior to that I only really watched the playoffs and actually
pulled for the Cowboys but this year I was fully converted to the Giants after
they needed to beat the heavily favored Cowboys in the last hame of the
season on OT.
3) What do you do for a living?
Loan processor in a down mortgage market
4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
I get the shakes if I miss a second of a Giants game. I bleed blue and can't sit
still during games. I wear a white jersey when the Giants do, and blue when
they wear blue. I'm always looking for new apparel, especially for my baby
girl. I just got a her a Giants binky.

Hi, i'm 26 years old from Brooklyn, NY. Born and raised in Brooklyn as well. Lifelong
Giants fan. Since my family is Chinese, they do not like football.
I never really posted in BBWC but read many of your posts. After the split or something,
I didn't know where you guys went until someone blurb it out. Lo and behold, you guys
are all here. Can't wait to read everyone's post again.

Recently moved to West 71st st in Manhattan after living in Washington DC.
Grew up in a military family but I guess you could call Massachusetts home.
2) How long have you been a Giants fan?
As long as I can remember. First team I ever cared about. When I was 4 and
living in Maine I can vaguely remember watching of XXI, watched it many times
since. Remember loving to say "Stephen Baker the Touchdown Maker."
3) What do you do for a living?
I am a Compliance Recruiter at a search firm in the city. Worked for two years as
an admissions counselor at my alma mater of American University immediately
after graduation.
4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
Was a member of the BBWC since 2002, and am really enjoying the new board.
One of the younger guys on the board but have always enjoyed the respectful
discourse available through the Giants boards. Never lived in the NY area before
now and I'm so excited to finally be able to root for the home town team.

I live outside of Troy, NY. (surprise, right?). In my career I've advised Kings, Popes and
Presidents on various matters of historical importance. I also invented the microchip and
DOS, which I gave to Gordon Moore and Bill Gates respectively.
What? You say you don't like my Algore routine? Well, OK..
I've been a Giants fan since The Game. Allie Sherman, Al Webster, YA, Tucker
Frederickson, frantic Fran, somebody Goldstyn, Phil, LT, Mark, Dave, Rodney, and Eli,
I've seen them all and forgotten most. But I've loved watching, reading, and (lately)
posting about everyone of them.
Harry Carson is my all-time favorite, a great player and a class guy. The epitome of the
Giants football organization.
I worked in the field of energy economics for 30 years and still consult a bit. Can't say
I've made us energy independent or stopped global warming, but it has been interesting.
My wife and I just celebrated our 35th anniversary. Our daugther (only child) is a truck
driver. No lie. And I'm proud as Hell of her.

My whole life (44 yrs), other than a brief romance with the Vikings after
Tarkenton got traded and Big Blue couldn't get out of their own way!
3) What do you do for a living?

4) Anything else you would like to mention about yourself?
I have a great wife and a son who will be 11 soon. I am very proud of of him
on a number of fronts, but for our purposes he is big Giants fan in the middle
of Cowboy country. He sticks to his guns even though he has put up with a
lot of crap!

I live in Montclair NJ and grew up in Fort Lee NJ.
Been a fan since 1981. Before hand, I was a Cowboys then Steelers "fan",
but I didn't know much about football in elementary school. When I started
wanting to watch a understand the game, I realized that I would have to root
for the Jets or Giants if I wanted to see them every week. I picked the Giants
because they were a stone's throw away in East Rutherford (the Jets were
still in Shea at the time).
I am an IT Director at an apparel company.
Married for 3 1/2 years with a 2 year old daughter who WILL be a Ginats
fan.

I live in Jamestown NY which is in the southwestern corner of NYS about 70 miles south
of Buffalo and about 45 miles east of Erie, Pa. Right in the middle of Bills, Steelers and
Browns country.
I have been a Giants fan since the mid-50's when we would get all the Cleveland Brown's
games on tv. Just loved watching Huff vs Brown.
I worked in common carrier trucking for 20+ years in operations supervision and sales
until the bottom fell out of the industry. Since then I worked for the
Jamestown Police Department and now the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Department in
communications. We dispatch police, fire, ems and nonemergency equipment as needed.
My son and I are both certified NYS football officials. Yup, we are zebras and just love
it. Like Terry M. I have a passion for golf. And I truly stink at it. Usually struggle to
break 100. Big fan of the Yankees and also follow the Rangers in hockey. I enjoy
watching the future stars of the NHL play in the Ontario Hockey League as Erie Pa. has a
team in that league, the Otters.

I have been a Giant fan since 1986, when I was in the sixth grade. I am also
a Michigan Wolverines fan; have been so since around the same time I
started following the Giants. I am an old school kind of boy who loves to
read about the history and players of the Giants and Wolverines teams of the
past.
My favorite Giant is Brad Van Pelt.
I can speak some French. I enjoy art, music, photography, food and wine,
swimming, the Jersey Shore. My favorite TV shows are whatever's on
Turner Movie Classics, I Dream Of Jeannie, many shows from the '60s and
'70s. Music-wise, I love everything from classical to doo wop to British
Invasion to disco to easy listening.

I live in las Vegas but am originally from Stamford Conn.
My home town used to house numerous Giants in the early 60's when the held summer
training camp at Fairfield University. I went to school with Andy Robustelli's oldest son
who QB'd the Stamford Catholic high school team. A very successful HS team I might
add.
2) Been a giant fan since 1962.
3) I teach Information Technology Management at college of Southern Nevada.
4) Oh yeah I'm am a Trekkie in case you had not noticed! lol
5) Am in the process of getting my computer forensics certification currently.

I live in Central Connecticut however I grew up in New Haven and was an
usher as a kid at the Yale Bowl where the Giants played before the first
Giants Stadium was built.
I've been a fan since 1966. A tough year to break in.
I am a high school principal so the frustration of the Giants pales in
comparison.
I think I have seen almost every single game since 1966. Just a couple
exceptions.
