Celeb NYG fans?

lugnut : 5/21/2020 12:15 pm
Bored and random-ass thread, I know...

Read interview y'day with Ozark actor and NJ native Tom Pelphrey -- Wendy's brother Ben -- where he notes he is "fucking obsessed" with NYG.

Just curious what other stars we might count among our brethren? (Citations of actresses/models require pics, preferably in Giants gear.)

Ozark is great show, BTW - think there are some converts on this site(?)

I met Viggo Mortensen when I was at work a couple of summers ago. He was dressed in Giants merch and we had a discussion about the team and some of his movies. Yes, he is definitely a Giants fan.

Fans from all over will rise again when we start the process of winning football once again this year. Remember, we start another run this time, we add to 4 titles already won, we have had 2 nice runs in the super bowl era, another and we start doing things other teams have never done, be nice to the first organization to have 3 runs with multiple titles with new head coach, 2 with Bill, 2 with Tom, and now ? with Judge.

from Run DMC rocking the old school starter Giants jacket (though it wasn't old school at the time).

To be fair, I have seen them in other teams gear (Raiders?), but being from NY I would like to think they're Giants fans.

Nixon used to speak very fondly of the Giants.

Yes, he called a play for the Skins - an end around that lost 13 yards and the Skins ended up losing a close game. Never heard about Nixon and the Giants.

Nixon was a huge football fan. He played on the freshman team at Whittier but never really got off the bench with the varsity.

Thanks. Yeah, I never heard of Nixon being fond of the Giants either. I know he lived the last years of his life in Jersey, but when I think of Nixon & football, I think of him & the Skins/George Allen.

He started going to games after he moved to NJ. I have video of him at the Giants vs. Cowboys game in 1989 sitting out in the stands.
