I believe he wanted to hire a general manager first and his choice was another “old friend” from one of his past teams. Does anyone know who Wellington wanted that caused their feud to go public?

The name escapes me at the moment, but wasn't it the guy who was running the program at the U. of Miami? Schellenberger, or something like that?

First time poster. I have been lurking on the site for over 10 years. I was born in Manhattan but grew up in Boston Area. I come from a very large New York family and it is all Giants 24/7. I have moved many times with a 16 year stint in St.Louis and relocated to Dallas 4 years ago to the land of Jerry World... It is a trip here with Cowboys 24/7 365 days a year. The sports stations are convinced they have the best talent and they are always getting screwed.
I check the site every day and thought I would come out of the closet and post to get some real football conversation. I have missed less than a handful of games over the last 30 years but remain devout no matter the record. I like the history and facts part of the Giants and will try to stick to the non-emotional which we all know "isn't easy."
I love Eli and his body of work over the last 11 years. I find it interesting this week that Tom Brady all of a sudden sucks because he can't get the ball off. Amazing what an offensive line and a little talent around him can do for a good Quarterback!!! See you all on the forum...

I know George Young wanted Schellenberger to replace Parcells after his first year. I'm not sure if Mara wanted him a few years earlier? I'll probably post in a new thread later as this is driving me crazy.

Just joined from Toronto, Canada. been fan since early 80s. great game today and past 3 weeks. congrats all Giants fan.
Keep it up all the way to the Super Ball Gmen.

Canadian, just joined. Here's your hacker

posts?

Hey all. I'll be visiting NYC for the MNF game vs. the Colts on Nov. 3. Very excited about it. LOVE getting to see different stadiums. But I'm wondering what "real" Giant fans might recommend a visitor do pre-game. A cool bar nearby? A tailgate experience outside the stadium? Something cool inside?

just wanted to drop in and say hello.
Been a lot of years I'd guess, more than 6, 07 or so, is when I last posted I think,
Hope all is going well.
I still see quite a few old names here.
Good to see them, like returning to a old neighborhood and finding the crew still well and happy.

Nice to see you posting again, hope you will continue to. I took a long sabbatical once myself but still came back.

It's been quite a while but I do remember some of my most enjoyable discussions were with you on varying issues.
This place has always attracted quite a varied diverse group. Quite remarkable for a football board.

Wow...welcome back Ron!!


McConkeyStache...just saw your post...you may want to start new thread asking that question as I doubt most have seen your question.

Although this might have been discussed and I missed it, what is the purpose or the repeating certain statements in a thread or quotes with a reference number?

Also when reading threads and you go to page 2 or any other additional page when you arrow back to continue reading threads on that page it takes you back to page 1. Can that be corrected? Thanks this is by far my favorite site.

Hope the adds are helping with expenses. Two weddings and college the last few years have made it hard to contribute.

The quote function is simply used by some posters to highlight the fact that their comments pertain to a specific post (so the post is repeated, the number is tied to that particular post...clicking on it takes you to that post).

I don't have the issue you do with the back button. When I click "back" it takes me to the previous page, not to the first page.

welcome guys!

Time to go my friend.

I wanted to tell you, before I do, a thing, I think you should know….My only regret in life is really, I sometimes do not say some things that need to be said.

Sillly me and strange me, I know. But this place you provided for me, years ago. A very difficult period I was going through. You, this place, and peoples I had met here... brought me through it all.
We little know each other (not at all really), but know now you this…..you have helped a stranger, one you did not know.

Not intentionally perhaps, your love of the sport and the G's, I know are first, and it is for this youi do this thing. It is thankless mostly.
But nevertheless the intention or cause…your actions helped me when I needed a place in the heart to stay. And stay I did and you this board and the various peoples here... many years ago filled that empty spot.

It is time to go, as truth be told.. I have changed. No offense to others, I do no longer quite fit it. It is yes, I, that have changed. No fault to others.
Delete this if after you read it or leave it, as it is intended to be left. Others should perhaps know things are more than they seem by appearence at times.

You have done the greatest of things, you have helped one strange to you. When we pass they say we remember little, but the things of kindness we have done for others. I think there is truth to that, so I say remember this…..your actions, this place you created, were a kindness to me, though you know me not.

I cannot repay you, but feel certain you will be repaid.
Thanks
Ron in New Mexico

Sorry you didn't stick around, but I understand. Kind of like the old saying that you can't go home again. I enjoyed your posts and wish you well in life. If Eric keeps the site going maybe visit once every year or two.

i picked this handle .favorite holiday character. giant fan 1969

Hello All,

I admit to be a lurker for years. Used to post back in the day quite a bit, but the amount of trolling from eagle fans would enrage me. As a fan, its easy to root for a team and talk about greatness when everything's going well and breaking it right. I think its times like these that makes makes boards like this great! Ill give my two cents in appropriate areas on the forum, but...lets remember why we love this team..They give us the highest highs and lowest lows. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Im 28..life long fan from bridgewater, nj

Probably one of the few of my age to go back and watch a full season from the 86 and 90 team to appreciate what was and what is! Looking forward to next year pre thanksgiving sucks, but hey we all know damn well when the eagles and cowgirls beat themselves out the playoffs all will be well :)

.

hey guys!! My names shawn, I'm 36 and I was born bleeding blue!!! I'm a fanatic I LOVE the GMEN,KNICKS,RANGERS,YANKEES... I was born and raised in NJ.. I'm current in pa but at the end of the month I will be moving just outside of Dallas to Plano texas where my son was born on game day of the championship game against the packers January 20 2008!!! I've been reading on this sight for years but never posted

Lombardo!

I tried to post a .gif today of Beckham's sidestep in the thread titled 'Beckham's FU Touchdown', but it didn't work right. All that's there is the syntax of the statement. Any instructions on doing this?

the .gif file has to be available on a site on the net and you simply link to it by using the code instructions at the bottom of a thread when you hit "reply".

to the WildBunch.
You'll get a worldclass football education.

and I hope all of my fellow newbies allow opinions to be shared without trying to degrade. For some reason many immature posters on this site feel the need to degrade and belittle one, just because one may hold a contrary opinion to theirs. Pretty pathetic, but true non the less.

I grew up in Long Island, became a Giants fan in 1959 as an 11 year old Frank Gifford fan. Have always been a loyal Giants fan, even if the bad times.

I played Div. 3 football (running back, flanker, some safety), plus many years of flag football in Arizona (one year taking our Arizona champions to the National Touch Football League championships in St. Louis (where several NFL retreads and fringe types were playing).

Now, while looking at the truly excellent recent changes made in the way they run and coach the Az Cardinals (after decades of the opposite), I still spend my time looking at BBI and other Giants sites. Go Blue!

CJ in Az

Welcome CJ in Az...a poster with experience playing will be a big asset around here!

Been lurking the past few years. Won't post much but I'm on here reading your comments everyday! Some of you are hilarious!

I'm in the education field in NJ. 27 years old been a fans since my mom bought me a replica Dave Brown jersey lol.

Welcome cheeb87! BBI started when Dave Brown was the QB!

BBI is an outstanding site, and I appreciate your insights, Eric, as well as your effective "policing" of the more emotionally volatile posters.

Thanks for what you are doing so well.

Thanks! But it's the moderators who do most of the hard work with respect to policing. That said, BBI mostly polices itself.

I probably won't post much here but would enjoy the opportunity to be able to. Love my Giants and love talking or listening about them. Go Big Blue!

Welcome aboard 8TimeChamps!

Hello, I have been a fan of the site fro many years.. I am 74 and have moved to North Carolina an this is the best contact for my Football team.. I have watched the Giants through all the BAD and the GREAT times. Eric thanks for a great site . You have done a great job keeping us up to speed..

Welcome and thanks!!!

After reading this site for years I finally made the move to log in and create this user ID. I have always enjoyed the exchange of ideas about the Giants as well as the NFT's almost as much!
I grew up in Brooklyn in the 50's and 60's and have been a Giants fan ever since I heard the Colts/Giants game on my dad's car radio back in the late 50's. I've been lucky enough to make it to most home games over the past decade and despite the "down in front" mentality of many "older" fans I am not of that ilk. Besides, nobody's hollering that at my 6'3" 260 lb. self.
I read here about folks being upset with Eli and his inconsistencies, his occasional "deer in the headlights" look, and his struggles in the past with INT's BUT he's been as good a QB as I've seen in blue and it will be difficult to replace him without sinking to number 1 or 2 draft pick status. Block for him and he is elite.
Anyway, thanks for this forum and the chance to BS with fellow fans!

Look it up....Tehama Street.....NOBODY knows it!!! :-)

I grew up on a much longer one -- Eastern Parkway -- not far from you

Hello, I just wanted to check in. I'm new to the site. I came across it last October when searching for Giants sites after moving out of the NYC area for the west coast.

I found myself missing discussing football with other Giants fans. I lurked for most of last season and have decided to join. BBI seems like a far superior site compared to what else is out there and I'm looking forward to sharing thoughts with other Giants fans.

Hey -- I'm not sure I want to see your nom de plume so often -- lol

Just like to say that I have been a die hard fan since the 50`s. When I started to watch the announcers were (SOrry for the spelling) Chris schenkle and Jonny Lujack. Have seen a lot of bad football, some good football, and some super football, but ALWAYS NY giant football... I have been a fan of BBI for many years and would like to thank Erik.

Don't be a stranger

hi i am tom, I live outside Philadelphia so blogs like BBI provide me with a lot of comfort. i watched the last two Giant Super Bowl wins in NYC sports bars and it was such a great thing for a change to have Giant fans all around me. I do my own real time Giant draft each year (probably like most of you) and may post that today. but really i just enjoy keeping up with things on the blog. thanks for all the work that goes into this.

Welcome....you'll find a lot of Eagle hate around here. ;)

for many years..
