Without going into all the components of my life, it is safe to say I am very busy and have lots of interests and business challenges that keep me very busy.
Busy at the office
Daughter getting married in 2 months
Sit on a couple of boards
Lots of interesting stuff going on
BUT.......................................................................
What the hell is this lifelong infatuation with the Giants?
I can't focus today. I will snap out of it I always do, but the visceral strain for no good reason is dumbfounding.
every year it is the same thing...Any arm chair shrinks here or anyone else find themselves in the same boat?
My only suggestion is to try and cut out the negative shit (what you read probably being the biggest factor) and try to remind yourself that sports are for children and that adults just happen to make money off of them.
The Giants have just sucked so much ass over the years they forced me not to give a shit

my life has meaning. I am blessed with a great family and great circle of close friends. I don't want much, don't need anything really. Good job. Great wife and kid. I look up every day and thank the universe and appreciate every thing I have.
And I am fucking miserable. I've never been in a better place really, but the Giants just won't cooperate and give their desperate fans even just a hollow winning regular season. Not even asking for postseason glory, but we can't even ask for 17-20 wins over a 2 years period, just something to distract us from all the losing, even if it's fake or short lived. Nope, just lose, a lot, and then lose some more.
When my life was shit, the Giants were at their best. I guess I can't have it both ways.
djm........do your friends and family know of your malady?
Do they think you are nuts?
Most of my friends and family are nyg fans like me. Only my wife and daughter couldn’t care less, everyone else is basically a die hard big blue fan. All we do is bitch and moan on text threads. Year after year. Wife says I’ve come a long way as I don’t seem as miserable after games anymore. That just means I’m used to this crap, but I’ve also been trying to live by the mantra enjoy the highs more than you despair the lows. Maybe... but life is so much better when the giants are kicking ass.
This reminds me of a post or something I once heard or read. “Why should I let my day be ruined because a bunch of millionaires running around in my favorite laundry sucked??”
However, I stopped letting it bother me years ago. Got numb to the losing and bad play. I care... but not enough now to let it bother me.
Go Giants!!
Agreed. I just can’t let the current group ruin my day. There is enough negative crap in the world. Right now it’s just laundry running around as far as I’m concerned. And I ain’t buyin anymore of it until they turn around. Used to be the giants sideline hat every year. That stopped in 2017. I’m done supporting this mess.
This f*ckin' team.
All my buddies, every old regular at every dive bar, and really every die hard fan I knew had a great relationship with disappointment — they’d commiserate.
Typically with a few beers (not required). But getting it out, complaining about it, and then tuning in the next game is the great luxury and right of cheering for a bad team.
The New York Giants will turn it around at some point, and that will be awesome. In the mean time enjoy the misery of losing, don’t let it make you miserable.
How about .... No?
