For this 2018 year to start? This is something new. We are going into a year where (thanks to the refs) the Eagles are defending champions.
I must say I am not as excited as I used to be, maybe the sin last February puts a dumper on things. Things have been ruined. I am not hyped.
Not extra excited , I thought it was the Yanks doing well and my job distracting me, but I think this is 100% it, deep down I know all the eagle fans and media will just be stroking them and somehow we will here about it 16 weeks atleast even if we only watch Giants games and like 2 football talk shows
Not to be mean but I don't care about "your life" right now. The question was based as a football fan if the Eagles winning the Super Bowl has a negative impact on your attitude going into the 2018 season.
I don't know why you have to go out of your way to prove "there are more important things". Keep it in the sports realm, please.
Mook with the homerun.
Your best post ever. Couldn't be more true.
But, I've been moaning and groaning about the NFL product for years. Probably since the new CBA? I used to be all over football 10-20 years ago and couldn't get enough of it. I'd never see the day where I skipped AFC Championship games just because I knew who would win.
Ugh but those 0 Eagle Super Bowl jokes were great.
Everything went wrong for us and everything went right for them. Seemed like a scripted WWE event. I say yes because it never should've happened like this. I'm pissed more so at the Giants. They had them twice and let Philly get away.
If they beat them at home maybe they wouldn't had two dome teams come to Philly.
I just don't think the Giants have what it takes to compete with Philly...and you know what? They HAVENT for the last 10 fucking years. I was a Philly naysayer all year last year and they did get a bit fortunate with some of those calls but that doesn't change the fact this Giants team has been embarrassing.
Also yep, I had a family member pass right before the Eagles super bow in January, doesn't mean that those scumbags getting a sb victory didn't tick me off.
I just don't think this Giants team will be good. Average at best. Eli's last season. Maybe 7-9 or 8-8.
By the way, don't forget, you're going to get a different reaction from the North Jersey/NYC crowd who really doesn't have much of an idea like those of us south of Exit 129 on the GSP.
Maybe it's just because it's July and I'm really not in football mode yet. I hate the fucking Eagles, but whatever.. I'm over it.

What really else is there going on that's noteworthy? LEBRON to the Celtics?
I still root against teams but if they win, whatever.
My team losing still bothers me although my way of dealing with it is basically just to pretend the sport doesn’t exist until the next game. So if the Giants lose I won’t really listen to or read anything about the NFL for a week. The recent years of mostly bad Giants teams have made me pretty out of touch with the league as a result.

Baseball?
Fucking disaster.
Spot on.
And thank goodness this happened when I was 29. If this happened 10 years ago, I probably would have done some thing insanely stupid.
It definitely sucks but not at all in a way that makes me less excited for the season. I just cannot wait to see Barkley and Odell in the same offense.
For not beating the Patriots?

Because they should have beaten the Eagles in the Divisional game and fucking blew it.

Yep. Classic Matt Ryan.
I'm sorta over it, but not really.
But to each their own.
Because of the refs? Eagles are champs because they were good enough to take advantage of good breaks, like every champion, including the Giants.
You guys sound like fragile fans.

I'm guessing you didn't watch the Super Bowl then. Yes, because of the refs.
Fragile? I mean this is common sense here. We hate the Eagles because they're a rival. Keep it weird, dude.
Like?

Exactly. The rest of the NFC East has dealt with 2 Giant SB’s in the last 10 years and they have all supported their teams just fine. The Eagles winning was brutal, but I’ve moved on.
I thought no way will the Eagles offense move against the two corners of the Pats.....and then BB shit the bed....

Yes...that Clement TD by all means wasn't a TD and the Foles catch was an illegal formation and should've been ruled dead. The ref was wrong.
You live in LA lol
What would you exactly know about Eagle fans?
My take has always been they did an awful lot of good things during that season to get to the point we're one spectacular play would propel them to a championship.
All champions get good breaks, the difference is they did enough that it mattered.
I watched, rooting hard against the Eagles, I live in PA after all. It bothered me, but they deserved to win and it certainly doesn t mean anything for this season.
I called you fragile previously, but after reading some of your other responses maybe I should have written immature.
