Wheat was the most exciting time you ever had

Bleedblue10 : 1/11/2022 10:07 am
On BBI? Like what news made you come back to this MB over and over again in anticipation? Kind of like most of us are probably doing these last two days. For me I would say it was the Plaxico Burress signing! I remember checking the MB over and over again and being so mad when I heard he was going to Minnesota and then so excited when he finally signed with us after firing his agent

I mean non-football wise, there were so many amazing threads that you kept refreshing over and over.


Football-wise, definitely when we won both Super Bowls. I was on the board for both. Really amazing time.
I wasn't around for the 2004 draft.  
McNally's_Nuts : 1/11/2022 10:12 am : link
But 2019 draft was exciting.

It was cool to have 3 first round picks, first time the Giants have ever had that.

Now there is a real possibility none of those guys will be on the team next season, one already isn't!

as far as offseason goes.

Nothing topped either Super Bowl run for me. The game previews, the discussions, CiP artwork, all the excitement. On a side note, it's pained me to see this proud franchise get dragged through the mud and I can't wait to get back to those times.

That was best time and the reason I joined. Huge news breaking every day, Burress getting on a plane, etc. Crazy stuff.

Hockey game in Lake Placid. This was the most important sporting event I ever attended in my life and the emotional intensity walking into that building you could cut with a knife. It was the most important and exciting sporting event I ever attended and it surpasses the Giants Superbowls.

but it was an entertaining read.

LaVar Arrington was pretty good

Jonas Seawright memes were always entertaining
Of course the Eli draft in 04 was a lot of fun  
Bleedblue10 : 1/11/2022 10:45 am : link
All the drafts actually. It’s fun to go back and see what people thought at the time. Getting jumped for Mighty Mouse(I forget his name) and ending up with David Wilson, Aaron Donald vs Zack Martin and OBJ. And who can forget the great Josh Rosen

I was reading that on my phone on a bus from Cork to Galway in Ireland.

Back to the OP - Matt in Syracuse and the draft where we took who he predicted. Or didn't. I can't really remember but it was funny.

I still remember the raging angry asshole at the draft day party that literally laughed in my face when I said the trade up for ELi would be the best trade in NYG history. Never saw that guy again....


gloveone and the build up to that day almost felt surreal. The Giants had a chance to get a MANNING. NFL royalty. I remember thinking once the trade was announced that we finally have credibility. Ever since that day and up until 2018 we played on prime time 3-4 times a year. Even when bad, the team had credibility with Eli under center.

We need another move like that.
