Dear John,

56goat : 9/9/2024 6:46 pm
I think we need to see other people. It's not you, it's me - oh whos kidding who, it's all you. I gave you the best 40+ years of my life, but after some exciting times and a few thrills, the last 12 years or so have been an extended water torture - drip, drip, drip. Lately you don't seem to have any idea what's going on, you surround yourself with hangers-on, unqualified hires, and dead weight well past their prime, and have fits of rage where you throw things. Your choices are curious to say the least and an exercise in insanity to say the most, medium Pepsi notwithstanding. Your fixation with sons by proxy might require professional help.

I deserve a relationship that reciprocates my feelings and emotions, and treats me with respect. I'll leave my #8 jersey and empty Pepsi cup by the door.

Signed,

Along Tymefan
Dear John,

Please ask the NFL Commissioner for an "intervention", as occurred for your father in the late 70s, and accept his recommendation for an individual to be put in place as an overall Giants Football Operations Executive outsider to run the franchise. Remove all family members from any duties outside of team ownership.

The late 70s intervention was after "15 Years of Lousy Football -- We've Had Enough" airplane incident in 1978. The appointment of George Young, hiring of Ray Perkins, drafting of Phil Simms and of course later Lawrence Taylor started the return of the NY Football Giants to NFL Greatness in the 1980s and early 1990s.

In the 2020s, drones are cheaper, so unless you want to see your own, "12 Years of Lousy Football -- We've Had Enough" banners flying over MetLife, I'd suggest you call Mr Goodell today.

Signed,

(Blank and) Blue Giants Fan

What exactly do you want the owner of the team to do? You think he hasn't tried to win?

Not have his son and nephew be in charge of player personnel.

I'm sure th'e love to win. He just doesn't have the acumen to make it happen.
I think next step is to get proven guys at HC/GM  
PetesHereNow : 9/9/2024 8:12 pm : link
No more first job HC, or first job GM. Granted, these guys don't necessarily grow on trees, but, spinning the wheel again for the hot young coordinator doesn't seem like it's ever gonna work.
Put Parcells in charge of all football operations

Curious?...

Well, how about realizing what he thinks is a good idea isn't.

Then replace himself, his brother, and his nephew from the team.

Enjoy the filthy lucre this organization has brought to him and his family for doing shit. Take a long cruise.

Leave the real work to those who can do the job.

Quit pretending you know what you're doing.

Excise any family member from personnel decisions and hire a president of football ops. Run the business and collect checks, but nothing to do with players.

Drain the swamp!
How many owners are team president?  
Doubledeuce22 : 9/9/2024 10:13 pm : link
It’s very few of them for a reason. Mara is a giant bozo. They need to clean house and not half a**. Get rid of EVERYONE. Not a soul left.

You need to keep the players that are a huge part of the team. We couldnt sign Barkley and McKinney, but we brought in a guy who had 8 sacks last year for $30 million and a draft pick. He had to know the QB was not going to be good enough to make us competitive or at least hire people that will relay that to you. If it was the GM's idea not to sign Barkley or McKinney, he should have been fired after the Friday night game.
