Slowest Giants Month of the Year?

mstyles22.0 : 7/18/2017 11:18 am

Little mini debate going at the office. The contenders are...

Feb - In a non-SB season, things fall off pretty quickly once the season ends.

May - Pretty significant fall off after the draft.

June - Mini-camp and that's it.

July - Up until the start of camp at the very end of the month is as dead as it gets. (This is my vote btw)

A few fringe football fans tried to say March but that quickly got shut down because of free agency/draft prep.

July since there's no other sports on

Baseball isn't a sport

February - Hockey, NBA, NCAA winding down
May - Hockey playoffs, NBA playoffs, end of main soccer leagues
June - Same as may + summer soccer tourneys

July - Jack shit

I'm not sure

but I'm glad someone else believes baseball isn't a sport, too.

(Gun to head - July)

Literally counting down the minutes until

Training Camp starts (im only half-kidding). July is BY FAR the worst, especially since the Mets have been terrible this year. The previous 2 years were okay because baseball got me through. When your baseball team sucks, July is truly terrible sports-wise.

All I know is that camp opens in 10 days and I can't wait.

This thread needed some nonsense. Saying baseball isn't a sport? Nonsense.

call it boring

hate it all you want. Doesn't mean baseball isn't a sport. Just means you don't like it.

Baseball vs Football

Baseball
Unless my team is on, will catch sports center.
If its late pass, or a great afternoon weather wise doing something else.

Football.
I can watch any game.

NFL & NBA

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 7/18/2017 12:16 pm : link

are my two favorite sports, but I don't watching baseball if I'm at a bar or lounging around at home. I'm not glued to it, but it's cool to have on in the background.

I also have become a big fan of soccer recently so I like watching that too.

I don't like hockey or soccer.

Does that mean they're not sports to me?

Me too. I need football. I like or at times love baseball. Baseball is rarely appointment TV. Football rarely isn't.

July summer in full swing

Plenty of golf to still play, beach to look forward to, baseball races heating up, and football right around the corner, kind of a cool month

july is a football graveyard

I break out my movies to get my fix. Watch all our Superbowl runs. Watch North Dallas Forty(best football film ever) and Burt's The Longest Yard.

July Is The Slowest Football Month

Trainmaster : 7/19/2017 10:07 am : link

I agree sports in general are slow in July. Baseball is a sport, but not a very interesting one.

Personally, this time of year, the sport I'm most interested in is Formula 1 racing. If you think it's not a sport, check out the G forces these guy endure. Racing around the world, including some really hot a humid climates. Keeping focus at over 200 MPH on twisting, climbing road courses and street circuits (i.e. no ovals).
