The Harbinger

What ever happened to rooting for your team…you know, the old fashioned way? Painting your face, screamin like a banshee…the occassional expletive? These days, you can’t watch any big game without some kind of giveaway tchotchke being waved in the stands. I am SICK of it. It REEKS of bandwagon. I saw a TON of this at the Tampa-Giants “game” (it is in quotes because this was more of an ass beating than a game…).

I get supporting your team, I do. But do we REALLY need to be like sheep and all wave towels? Seriously…can we just not CHEER? Must we have “Somacow” or some other such sponsor give you a 99 cent towel to show your support? Back in the day, sponsors gave shit out at a game, people dug it, and kept them. When did we start waving the freebies about like lunatics? Do we see Yankee fans waving their miniature bats around on Bat Day? Ok…maybe that is a bad example, considering the Bronx and all, but you get the point. I am not against people getting something free at the big game, but just keep in, and lets enjoy the game. Your cheap towel is not going to affect the game.

Anyways, on to the playoffs…Giants will win, and face the Packers in Lambeau. From there, Fav-re will be the new Theismann when Strahan gives him the ol’ LT move, and then move on to face the Pats in the Super Bowl. From there, the GEEEE-Men will show the Pats that the tight game in week 17 was just a taste of what they will get when we TRULY play our best.

On to baseball…pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in less than 6 weeks. Spring already, bitches! See you then…
