Talkin Giants interview with Brandon Jacobs was really good

D HOS : 6/28/2022 5:25 pm
Surprised Klaatu didn't post this. Boy was this a cool interview. Actually more like a bunch of fans including Jacobs just reminiscing and shooting the shit for a while. License Plate Guy was in on this too.

Some really funny and interesting stories from LPG and big ol 27. I laughed out loud a few times.

LPG story about meeting Jacobs and also vs the Vikings in Detroit story are really cool. Jacobs had some interesting things to say about the Plaxico incident and some other things as well.

My biggest LOL was Skinner asking him "When you threw your helmet into the stands, how quickly did you realize you fucked up?" BJ (quietly) "oh man. immediately." Listening to them all talk about that incident was really funny.

👏👏👏.
I have not watched this interview yet ...

But, I thought I watched on Twitter(?) ... that he has a son who is gigantic and he is working with him on OL blocking moves?

It will be interesting (to me anyway) to see if anything comes of one of his children that has expressed some interest in Football.

Loved the combo of "Earth, Wind, and Fire." (Jacobs, Bradshaw, and Ward).

I think that was their nickname ... nice line-up to keep the defense guessing?
is it just me or does

Jacobs look like Idris Elba?

Why is LPG still revered and cited here so often?

His son Brayden is a rising sophomore OT in Georgia and already has at least a dozen FBS offers, including Auburn and UGA. Big, athletic kid playing at a high level of HS ball. Qualifies as an expression of some interest, in my book! I look forward to seeing him develop... he's a frequent subject of Jacobs' social media posts.
I had forgotten about him throwing his helmet into the stands in Indy

I didn't mean to imply any veneration. I think he is kind of a clown myself, but I think that's his point. Just that he had a few interesting and humorous stories. Apparently he and Jacobs are somewhat of buddies.

I thought it came across more as a regular guy statement. That's something I might say (ok I'm not that regular of a guy but you get my point). There is Jacobs the millionaire and Jacobs the regular guy who understands that primo seats are stupid expensive, especially every single game.
What happened with Jacobs? I don't remember anything  
Ten Ton Hammer : 6/29/2022 3:12 pm : link
and his wiki doesn't have any stories on it.
My guess is Matt is

No, I get where Jacobs was coming from at the time the story took place. That's the first thing I asked when I started seeing this guy at every game home and away. My point was more about people on this site citing his tweets, pointing out his participation in this podcast as if it's a treat, etc. There is a dark history to this guy, yet he is still being embraced. If he were a fan or player on another team and did what he did, he would be getting blasted.

I also am shocked, knowing what they do about him, that the organization includes this guy in functions and allows players to continue to fraternize with him.

What is the dark history of which you speak?

He was cleared of this. If you want to start accusing the guy of stuff he was cleared of, we are going to have to take those conversations down, but also you are spreading untrue and unverified statements.

You want me to not mention it again...fine. But this site regularly vilifies athletes for far less.
Jacobs is the man, so is Bradshaw.  
Dave in Hoboken : 6/30/2022 9:31 pm : link
Would take that tandem as our RB corp right now over what we've had since those guys retired (including the last few years) in an absolute heartbeat.
I haven't had a chance to meet LPG in person but I can tell you this:  
GiantSteps : 7/1/2022 6:58 am : link
as far as I know, a few teams around the league have standout "superfans", like LPG or Fireman Ed, or the Whistle Guy for the Saints, and I'm glad LPG is the guy for NYG.

LPG has done so much to use his platform as a superfan to raise money for various charities, and has really organized some cool events over the years. He interacts with other fans regularly on Instagram. He is clearly a Giants die-hard and turned his fandom into a platform that reps Giants fans very well, and is as openly passionate about the team as any of us are.

For years now, he's always taken a second to send a quick happy birthday note on Facebook to me. We've never met, he just does it because I'm a Giants fan who friended him on FB a while ago. He certainly does't *have* to do that, but it's a small, cool gesture of thoughtfulness that is always really neat to receive on a birthday.

I dunno. I've seen him catch a lot of heat on BBI, and I think that's a shame. He's said in interviews that he tends to stay away from fan forums because they get kinda toxic, but it certainly would be cool to have his perspective shared here.

Matt M we are liable for slander/libel if we knowingly allow slanderous comments on our website. In this case we are aware that this individual has been cleared of charges you were using and justifying slanderous comments for, therefore I must ask you to stop doing that and cease such comments.
Interesting interview, but  
JOrthman : 7/1/2022 12:41 pm : link
If you get a chance to interview Jacobs, why bring up all this stuff with LP guy? As a Giants fan I don't care about how he met a fan or they hung out. I want to hear Giants stories.
