I'm Screwed.

Oldgiantfan : 9/18/2018 3:02 pm
At 81 there is no way I will outlive Mara and see a Giants turn around.
Hang in there

You could live another 20 years, you never know!
Plus I'm 42  
allstarjim : 9/18/2018 3:03 pm : link
I could have a massive coronary in the next 5 minutes...all of us are on borrowed time!

HoodieGelo : 9/18/2018 3:03 pm : link
Yes, there is!
Forget a turnaround  
jcn56 : 9/18/2018 3:04 pm : link
I don't think I'd watch any more this year if your concerned about your ticker.

Br00klyn : 9/18/2018 3:04 pm : link
I'm 31 and starting to think I wont be around long enough for a turnaround.

just kidding, keep the faith, this is a year to year league and many things can happen in a short period of time
Not necessarily true...

start eating Dannon yogurt and you can live as long as this guy...



You’ve heard of military coups....  
superspynyg : 9/18/2018 3:10 pm : link
How about. Sports team coup?

You back certain members of the organization. Install puppet leadership.
80 is the new 60.  
Bubba : 9/18/2018 3:12 pm : link
you'll be fine.
You are on death's doorstep  
pjcas18 : 9/18/2018 3:20 pm : link
but even if by some miraculous stroke of luck, you do manage to outlive Mara, I think there's another one waiting to take his place.

it's how they operate.


So, in your case, you may as well go gentle into that good night....

Forget about a Turn Around...

Let's just get you a F'ing WIN!!!

think you need some work on your bedside manner.
Thanks All.

I started with Steve Owen and J.L. Howell. Got sucked in and loved it. Then suffered through the Allie Sherman years.
Was hoping for one last run. But it seems highly unlikely under young Mara's ownership.
You have been alive long enough

To enjoy the fantastic fifties then the awful seventies. You were rewarded for your pain with for Super Bowls. You know pain and you have enough the splendor. Hang in a while longer because you know these barren years make that next one so much sweeter
Imagine how an 81 year old Browns fan feels

My old man went to his first game at the Polo Grounds in the late 40s, and stayed loyal throughout the mid-60s/70s mediocrity. I’m grateful he got to see us win XXI, XXV, and XLII before he passed.
The first 100 years are the hardest  
HomerJones45 : 9/18/2018 3:50 pm : link
after that, it gets easy I hear. Hang in there
Not for nothing  
mrvax : 9/18/2018 3:54 pm : link
but they could miraculously win on Sunday.
Oldgiantfan,

My old man is 95 and he’s not giving up, neither should you.

Great stuff. I hope you get to see another SB win.
I’m screwed..not

When I read your heading I thought you had made a similar bet as I did with my wife. i convinced her to have an afternoon trist and made her promise if the Giants won we would do that before each game. She smiled and said sure.. that was to easy I thought.
When I came up from my man cave after the game there she was smiling at me and said.... maybe next year!
Us Giants fans leave it all out there when the team looses. thanks team and now I hate the cowpukes even more...
P.s
Old giant fan... I’m 69 years old and may never experience an opportunity to make a similar bet again.

lolol "You'll be fine."
Haven’t you witnessed 4 Super Bowl Championships already?  
Hsilwek92 : 9/18/2018 5:07 pm : link
Not to sound like a dick but, you’re acting as if your a fan of a team that hasn’t had success in the past.
Actually, a good point in this discussion  
JohnF : 9/18/2018 5:10 pm : link
Who takes over from the Mara family for John Mara when he "moves on"?

OK. I see you're not familiar with the 'consolation tryst'.
Old man,

Hang in there, it is always darkest just before dawn.

My pop is going on 85 and still pulling in striped bass.
