The Giants Are Eating So Many W's They May Actually Be #BACK
Look, I'm not going to overreact to a preseason game I just watched...because there is no way you can overreact to a preseason game you just watched. If you spend any amount of time in your life watching a bunch of guys at the bottom of the Cut List battle for their jobs alongside a handful of potential starters in the last preseason game of the year, you gain the right to overreact. Doubly so if your team has been one of the worst teams in football over the last decade.
So yeah, I'm gonna get excited about my team not only going undefeated during the preseason but some of the young guys they are building around playing well with immaculate vibes on the sideline.
The Giants QB Room is legitimately The Meme Team with that absolute nutjob Russell Wilson, a preacher wannabe in Jameis Winston, a living Italian stereotype named Tommy DeVito, and a Gen Z poster boy named Jaxson fucking Dart who unironically loves the Star Wars prequel so much he patterns his eyeblack after Anakin Skywalker. Yet somehow they have navigated these admittedly worthless games to trigger some excitement in me I didn't know still existed after #Giants100 was the biggest nightmare in franchise history. Clips like that is the reason we lift all those weights keep coming back to football every single season no matter how much it kicked us in the dick the previous year! I know it doesn't mean shit and the Giants can lose their opening game of the regular season like they have almost every single year dating back to when Eli was still playing. But to go to bed with a nice dose of the warm and fuzzies until the reality of Week 1 arrives is about all you can ask for as a fan who has gone through some dark days.
So if the Football Gods do indeed exist and have grown tired of treating the Giants the same way Sid from Toy Story treats action figures, I kindly ask them to allow us to enjoy this season as much as the schedule will allow us to. Even if it doesn't translate to a playoff spot or even a .500 record, please just let us get a few moments that make us smile regardless of where we stand on the In The Hunt graphic come Thanksgiving. That's not too much to ask for, right? RIGHT?!?
Whatever. In the end I just need Jaxson Dart to be good so if they can at least think about making that possible, I'll be thrilled beyond belief. Here's to getting out of the Top 10 of the draft almost every single year!
P.S. If the Giants do actually rise from the dead this season, I have no choice but to thank this video dropping from the internet heavens out of the blue on a random August morning that I still cannot believe actually happened.
