Starting to wish....

John Mara would sell the remainder of his half to Steve Tisch.

So tired of listening to all his statements. Maybe he wants to be more like Jerry.

Just shut up and stop getting so publicly involved.

Tisch is around at times, but at least he doesn't seem to be meddling like Mara does.
Holy chitt!

Why does this keep getting brought up? Lol
You don’t have to listen when he talks

that’s the cool thing about on/off buttons and that little x on your browser.
You’re bringing this up now

Because Barkley had a good game last night? lol. His comments are tame and pretty standard if any owner. You sound like someone who gets bothered easily.

Do yourself a favor. Don't be that person that is always whining
John Mara is in a similar place  
81_Great_Dane : 9/7/2024 11:49 am : link
to the one his father was in 50 years ago. Team is chronically bad, bad drafting, instability, cronyism, nepotisim, organization (was? is?) behind the times.

The NFL rescued Wellington Mara by forcing George Young on him. That's not happening this time.

But I think John Mara is aware that this is his moment of crisis and he attempted to fix it with Schoen + Daboll. Will that work? Are they the right guys? That may depend on ownership as much as on the guys he hired. Some of the Giants' hires in the 70s had a lot of success elsewhere: Bill Arnsparger, John McVay for example.

I am not confident in the Mara family. I'm a little more confident in the Tisch family but I think they've mostly deferred to the Mara family over the years. I'd rather have one really good owner with a vision than a gaggle of owners who run the franchise like a family-owned deli.

But you know, hope springs eternal.

I hope ownership stays out of the way.

I hope Schoen and Daboll are the right guys.

I hope the team is ready to take off like Ray Perkins teams were.

I hope the Pacific is as blue as it has been in my dreams. I hope.
Whining is easy when we see how a real franchise is run

I still will go to my grave saying that Roseman/Lurie are playing tri-dimensional chess while our owner/GM (and last few GM's) are still trying to find their way to a game of checkers.

The Eagles keep getting the players that matter while we dicker around and lose franchise players to other teams.

How many Superbowl have the eagles won in the last 10/20/30/40 years?
They had Andy Reid and didn't win a Superbowl.
Stop with the nonsense.
Lurie has own the since 1994 and has 1 super bowl, Roseman has been a GM for 10 years and has 1 SB.
He's the owner

He's not supposed to have an opinion???
John Mara has run the Giants for 19 years  
larryflower37 : 9/7/2024 12:13 pm : link
And has 2 SB wins.
I know most of you drool over the great front offices like the 49ers, eagles, cowboys and all their winning.
Last 30 years the have 1 SB combined.
I am 52 and have been lucky enough to witness 5 Giants SB and 4 wins yeah it's been a rough 14 years but SB are what matter.

It's only a rough 14 years for the die hard fanatics. I recognize the decade plus sh*t and click the TV off. I'll then catch the few seconds of comedic low lights the next day.

True, but the goal should be to build an organization that can compete for a title most, if not all years - drafting well, waiver wire pickups, key free agent signings, etc. The good teams do that and sustain that. They don't turn into the laughingstock we have been for over a decade now.
some of this sounds stupid - like owners care about winning  
Giantsfan79 : 9/7/2024 4:57 pm : link
while the books are secret so no one knows exactly how much profit the Giants bring in for the Mara & Tisch families but that's what's important at the end of the day to ownership not the W/L record.
Oh

Fuck Off.
What exactly did John Mara have to do with the 2007 Giants?

I mean if we want to get technical, Ann Mara was the owner for the 2007/2011 Giants and we have exactly nothing at all to show for John's tenure.
If nothing else

Wish for Tisch would look really good on a banner flying behind a plane over MetLife. Probably could put it on a shirt too

He was president and CEO from 2005.
Mara bringing back Gettleman and giving him a party when he left
