Steve Weatherford Appreciation Thread

Thanks for everything! Once a Giant, always a Giant!

and a big part of our success in the Coughlin/Eli era

We're going to the fuckin Super Boooooooooooooooooowl!!!

Good luck on your next career as a bodybuilder!

and he's yet another of the great NYG punters that played a huge part in a super bowl title. Steve sits at the round table with Sean and Jeff. And he's more than worthy.

I think the lasting image of the 2011 title team is Steve running off the field in San Fran. When I think of that season I think of that shot. And what a great hold from Steve! Truly a championship moment right there.

for him in the NFL.

He had a good run here. Shame it ended a bit earlier than probably expected.

Don't forget Dave Jennings too.

you'll always be a Giant in my mind.

Thanks for everything and best of luck

Thanks for everything, Steve. You will be remembered amongst the Giant heroes for a long time.

He'll be missed.

Enjoyed watching you play the game with an almost fan-like energy.

For giving us a stable punting effort after the Matt Dodge fiasco.

You were one of the best, right up there with Landeta and Jennings.

Best of luck to you and yours.

A great guy. We'll miss you Steve!

Steve for all you brought to the Giants, both on and off the field, especially in the community and your charitable work. You were a great Giant, and your punting was directly responsible for us winning Super Bowl 46. I agree that you were one of the greatest Giants punters ever, as good as Landeta and Jennings. Best wishes, and you will always be a Giant.

This is always the time that the business side of Football sucks... a necessary evil.

Not only was he a great punter for us, but what an amazing individual. I am in awe of how absolutely AMAZING he was to the kids and parents around here after the Sandy Hook incident. Really a heartfelt, helping hand kind of guy. Good luck always in your future endeavors Mr. Weatherford.

I don't think the Giants win SB46 without him. They definitely don't get the safety to start the game without his awesome punt to the 6 yard line.

You are one tough SOB, a lot more than just a punter - a football player in every sense !

...also an excellent holder. A real weapon on ST. A pro's pro. Thanks Steve for leaving it all on the field. Best of luck.

always and forever...a true gentleman on and off the field...the business part of this sport sucks.

a great player on the field and an even bigger class act off the field. Your contributions to our Super Bowl run will never be forgotten.

Good luck!

Did a good job for many years and helped win us the SB in 2011. Good luck and thanks for the memories Steve!

Your heart is even bigger than your leg. I hope you'll bounce back from the injuries, and I'd be thrilled if you bounced back to the Giants. Godspeed.

I hope you ahve a long career as a broadcaster.

Once a giant....
BTW, I'm not on twitter. Has Steve responded or made a statement?

Nothing on his Twitter page last I checked. I doubt he saw this coming. He was always really involved media wise

Nothing yet on twitter or Instagram. He's a classy dude, so I expect something good soon.

You've left me with some great memories of your time spent with the Giants, one of the top being the Super Bowl year.

Wish you the best!

the guy loved the Giants organization more than me. He was an employee and a fan. His social media silence is deafening.

was corralling that poor snap from DeOssie in San Francisco and holding it perfectly for Tynes on that FG that got us to SB 46.

And he was a pretty good punter for three years (he tailed off a little but last year). His punting in the 2011 playoffs gave us an advantage too

for being an All-Time Giant. We'll miss you.

Best of luck.

A Giants career that I'll look back at fondly. He was a good punter for us and an even better teammate. I loved how he got involved in the Beckham sideline brawl last year and kept Odell from potentially doing something really stupid. I don't think there are many punters who throw themselves into the fire like that, but Steve clearly did not have a typical punters mindset.

He has a great career in broadcasting in front of him if he wants it. Good luck.

Very touching

did anything, even when he was healthy he didn't look like himself

You were a great Giant and your punting in 2011 is one of the reasons why that championship was won.
I hope you get picked up,if you do so desire

everything you did as a Giant, best of luck regarding what comes next.

P.S. Your goodbye video - total class act.

Was a great ride. Njoy your future endeavours

I did forget Jennings. My bad ---he was as good or better than any of them.

Confident that he will be successful at whatever he pursues.

And best of luck with your next team. I was surprised by this move.

He's not just a kicker, he's a player.

Thanks Steve for all your contributions, on and off the field, to the team, your teammates, the fans and your community. Best wishes and good luck!

"once a Giant, Always a Giant" Best of luck.... We will miss you!

We couldn't have done it without you. You'll always be a Giant to us.

to you Steve, not only for being a class act and a great Giant, but also for your loyalty and for your dedication to your beautiful family. Best of luck in whatever you do. You will be missed by us fans.

Thank You Steve!

He was the real deal. The great punt vs New England in SB 46 gave us two points square off. We will definitely notice him not being here.

Always Played With Energy and Heart...
Good Luck in the Future ..
I could See Him Working the Booth Oneday ..
