HTG, A Rumor I actually heard at TTD about Eli trade

Rich Houston-NYG-WR-1971 : 8/19/2014 8:09 am
I was driving back from work late last night in the city and decided to stop and get dinner at Tick Tock Diner. I was sitting at the stool area and trying to configure my fantasy team when a dude sat down next to me with a binder that had a Giants 'ny" emblem on it. The dude noticed the back of my phone had a "NY" logo on the protector and he asked where I bought that. I told him at a Kiosk in a mall.

So I noticed his binder and said cool binder and we ended up talking about the team. I eventually told him if he were a fan he should join BBI. He told me he already went to the site said alo of crazy posters on the site including a guy that drags an Eagle in the parking lot. Upon hearing this I laughed and said that guy was me man. He said holy crap..sorry I didn't mean to offend you I said none taken.

He then said to me you know I am into marketing and I hear a lot of stuff around the stadium and he told me the Giants might trade Eli to Houston or St.Louis in a two or three way trade. I said no way. The dude said very possible because Eli is in his option year and he is not comfortable with this new offense. I said well Houston needs a QB and St Louis is not all that enamrored with Bradford. He also said Tenneesee might be interested too.

I thought the guy was full of it until I saw him driving away in a brand new Audi Quattro. In any event

HTG means honest to God.

TTD has an impressively broad menu...everything from disco fries to broiled tilapia.

Most NJ diners have menus that

respond back earlier and I forgot my phone today

I wanted to add the dude who told me this story must have been a big wig marketing guy..and yes he drove a brand New Audi Quattro like a previous poster posted the link.

We talked about a lot of stuff and he told me about the aforementioned trade scenarios. The dude was very adament the Giants will move Eli soon prior to the season beginnng. So many teams need a new qb I ate the Meatloaf dinner while he had a Reuben Sandwich. He offered to pay for my Meatloaf dinner because the conversation was good and he felt a little bad for insinuating I was crazy dragging the Eagle.





How was the meatloaf?

...he drove a brand new 23-34 year old car.

Makes even more sense now.
What you've linked to is a concept car...

I know I hear the commercials on the air all the time. You know the one with the dumb fisherman who is looking for the Moby Dick of Quattros. The one where he screams at the end "Quattrrrrooooo!"

The rest of Rich's story is probably BS, however.
Current Audi Quattro - ( New Window )


...not a production vehicle that's sold to the general public.

The "Quattrrrrrrooooo!" ad is for the AWD addition available on all Audi models. That's why the ads are in the snow.

I bet an in-person conversation with Rich is probably
