Chris Snee Appreciation Thread

on and off the field. He epitomized what it meant to be a Giant. Good luck to him and his family.

Good luck to you!

Chris for the top quality consistent play for over a decade. One the all time New York Football Giants greats on the O-line. Enjoy your retirement.

Snee was a tremendous player for us over his career. From 2004 to 2010 or so, he was consistently one of the Top 5 or so Guards in the game. He was the OL MVP on this team for years and formed one of the best OL interiors in the game with O'Hara and Seubert.

The 2008 OL unit was an absolute joy to watch and Snee was clearly the best player on that unit. We had one of the prettiest running games in the NFL for the first 5 or so years of Snee's career and he was a huge reason why.

He clearly lost a step or two due to injuries these past couple of years, but that's just what happens to OLineman after all the wear and tear. It still absolutely sucks to see him go.

If Eli and Coughlin are the most valuable Giants of the past 10 years, Snee is 3rd or 4th along with Justin Tuck. Great Giant who will be missed.

Absolute steal of a second round pick. Multiple Pro Bowls, multiple All-Pros, and, most importantly, multiple championship rings. First class guy on and off the field. You can tell being a Giant means a great deal to him, and I'm sure he'll be close to the organization for the rest of his life.

over the last 10 years! You have made all of us Giants fans proud! Wish more players could be like you.

an offensive lineman to be. Thanks for the championships. Hope you enjoy the time with your family.

the best of luck Chris. Thanks for all you did in the 10 years as a Giant

.

Thanks for so many great games!

One of the the all time Giants, and a major reason why the Giants won two more Lombardi's. With better health, I'm sure he would have landed in Canton. My favorite OL ever.

two rings, one of the best OL's during his time in the NFL, which made us one of the most entertaining offenses.

Hope his health remains good, that's most important now!!


Thanks CS!!!!!

that Chris Snee gave us his best effort every time he took the field. For that reason, he's the kind of guy I want on my team. The fact that he was a mauler for periods in his career make him even more valuable in my eyes.

Good luck Chris in whatever the future holds for you.

get 2 Super Bowl wins. Good luck, Chris!

to one of the great Giants of all time. Good luck in whatever path you choose. Here's hoping you stay with the organization.

without all the hype that happens around you.

You slugged it out with the best Defensive players. You are greatly responsible for the Championships.

The kind of player that makes you damn proud to be a Giants fan. Been a pleasure to watch this guy play football for the last decade.

Cherish your rings and your memories, and enjoy your post-football life with your family.

And just for fun, show up a few minutes late to Thanksgiving dinner this year, just to poke fun at your father-in-law!!

Thanks for all you have done for your team and fans.

that's he's retiring. He was a great player and instrumental in the Giants Super Bowl runs. He will be missed.

road grader with a mean streak. Kept his head down, his mouth shut, always did his job and never embarrassed his family, the fans, the organization or the game.

What's not to love as a fan?

Thank you, Chris Snee and best of luck going forward.

Enjoy retirement with your beautiful family and I wish you and yours the best of everything. Stay away from that grumpy father in law / grandpop between August and March, tho...

I was very happy when the Giants drafted you. A tough excellent interior lineman was exactly what the Giants needed at the time. You fit the bill perfectly. Thank you for all the hard work and superior play. Thank you for all the victories. But, most of all, thank you for being a Giant.

Best of luck in all of your future endeavors.

Watched him play at his best and it would have been sad to watch him try to play at a lower level. I'm, glad he gave it one last try and went out on his own terms.

One of the best ever at his position, strong, tough, agile, team player, great technician, and outstanding competitor.

All the best and hoping much success to him and his family in his post Giant career.

NYG fans are proud to call you one of ours.

you will be missed!

albeit inevitable.

Chris is from northeastern PA, Montrose in Susquehanna county. I'm from Wayne county, bordering on the east. As such, he was a little more special to me than the rest of the players. Sorry to see him go, but he gave us his all for 10 great years.

Chris, thank you and best of luck with the rest of your life.

for all the years you put on that blue uniform and performed as a warrior for us. We fans surely appreciate what you did for us, and we wish you nothing but the best as you move onto the next phase of your life and career.

and best of luck in the future!

He put in great effort, fought through injuries, and played at a high level for a long time.

Wishing you nothing but the best as you start on the next phase of your life. Good Luck and Thank You!

Once a Giant, Always a Giant.

...

I hope you get to enjoy your family time. You are a role model for your sons. All Time Great Giant right up there with Rosey Brown in my book

part of a great offensive line, and 2 time Champion. So many guys sort of bounce around end of their career, taking smaller and smaller roles. Glad to see Chris go out in one clean break.

And as Giants fans, we moved past it quick, and kind of rolled our eyes when it would be bought up on national broadcasts, but it could not have been easy, especially early on, to have your Father-In-Law as your Head Coach.

Great Giant. He will be missed.

I will always remember the day the GIANTS drafted Chris Snee because I thought it was an absolutely terrific selection as soon as they made it.

And I will always remember the day he officially hung it up.

Football is a bit like life and death. At some point, a player is born into the game, but eventually the player is separated from it, and it usually isn't a voluntary separation.

Some accomplish more than others while they are in it. Chris Snee wrote a chapter in GIANTS history that will be long remembered. Two Super Bowl wins, an All-Pro selection, and three Pro Bowls is a pretty darn nice career for the guy from a small town in northern Pennsylvania. Needless to say, his name will be added to the Ring of Honor at some point down the road.

But for right now, let us set aside the sadness of this day that inevitably had to come and savor the memory of one of the very best offensive linemen to ever wear GIANTS blue.

And Chris, all the best to you and your family. You won't be soon forgotten.

Thank you for your work and leadership Chris

wish it ended better for him but what a fantastic player.

A beast AND a technician at OG, and one of the guys who brought the real toughness and physicality to the Offensive huddle.

Absolutely an alltime favorite Giant, so glad my kids got to watch you play.

for your decade of hard work and sacrifice. Your efforts have brought us the priceless joy of seeing our beloved Giants win 2 Super Bowls and you got to do so under the coaching of your father in law. Enjoy your family and your retirement. It has been well earned. We will all miss seeing you line up for the Giants but all good things come to an end. You have earned your legacy.

Glad to see that he will be going into the Ring of Honor

Great group this was...

chris for all your dedication on and off the field to helping the giants win two super bowls and challenge in other years!

best of luck in the next phase of your life!

great player, great teammate, solid citizen on and off the field. Like DD, made watching the Giants over the last ten years an absolute pleasure. Starter from day one. Issue with TC being his father-in-law could have been a problem and never was. Sad day for Chris and probably for Tom as well.

One of my all-time favorite Giants and a true warrior!

Bought my custom #76 Snee jersey 8 years ago and have worn it proudly since. Sad day for the Giants and sad day for Chris Snee and his family.

Wish you all the best Chris in your future endeavors and would love to see you on the sidelines someday as an assistant offensive line coach.

Thank you for all you have done, including being an integral part of one of the best Giants offensive lines of the modern era.

All the best as you enter the next phase of your life.

I think of guys like Dave Diehl, Shaun O'Hara, Rich Seubert, Ahmad Bradshaw, Justin Tuck, Michael Strahan, etc.

But, when I really think of what I want in a New York Giant?

I think of the tough, mean SOB that is Chris Snee.

Thank you, Chris.

If there was a Mark Bavaro for this era's Giants teams it's Chris Snee.

an absolute rock of the oline and Championship seasons

with the Giants and always seemed to give your all. Your strength and leadership will no doubt be missed, but you have earned your well-deserved retirement. Thank you for all you have given and for your contributions to the two Super Bowl trophies we achieved during your career. I hope you come back some day as a OL coach when the time is right as I think you'd be great at it, but if that is not in your future I wish you and your family nothing but the best! Good luck to you!

and good luck with your future!

I hope you continue to enjoy the memories - I know I will. Thanks for being you.
