Awesome work as always. But since I'm a Jet fan and I hate the Giants, LGP!

What I don't understand is all these people who tell me I have to root for my city. Lol yeah right. And that garbage always comes from people who only watch sports when one of our city's teams is in the playoffs.

If you're a Jet fan, how can you be rooting for the Pats?

I'm a Seahawks and Saints fan, but I despise the Pats, and I never had a problem with the Giants. Rooted for them last time in the SB. So, GO G-MEN!!!

Chomping through my fingernails, game can't get here fast enough. Can't decide on the usual SB party or the local bar where I watched them beat the Dirty Birds, Pack, and Niners. Watched at the bar because Miami FOX affiliate (WSVN) & DirecTV were in a pissing match, games weren't on, now my superstitious side is just taking over!

Because to me it's not really a rivalry. They're just better than the Jets and I have nothing against them.

Been down here eight years and the only year I didn't go to my buddy's SB party was Giants-Pats in '08. Had to lock myself in my room to watch that one alone. Friends or not, couldn't watch with a bunch of people who didn't care about the game and were more interested in the commercials.

I know how you feel, Law. I've worn a Mark Teixeira Yankees shirt for the past 3 wins, for whatever reason. No question what I'll be wearing for the game tomorrow.

Yeaahhh, who ever wins, I lose. Unrealistically, I want the game to go to OT 0-0 and then have the stadium explode. Realistically I want the Patriots to lose the game and not for the Giants to win. And yes, for a Jets fan there is a difference. lol

Can't wait for the game tomorrow. And by the way, Butch was dead wrong last night during the Isles game saying all of New England is rooting for the Pats.

The Giants used to hold training camp in Vermont, there are tons of Giants fans up here. We held a tailgate party at work yesterday and judging by the Giants jerseys and t-shirts on display, the Giants are the favorites here.

It's funny how I was a fool for wearing a Giants jersey in September in the eyes of most of my friends and now everybody is wearing #10, Eli Manning.

GO GIANTS!!!! THANK YOU FOR A WINTER OF MAKING THE KNICKS AND ISLANDERS TOLERABLE!!

It's also nice to see the NY media pay atention to the Giants for once. That is until February 10th when the fat ***** declares his team the best in football again.

Haha, I'm just hoping to make it to the Finals against you and the rest of the Sharks' board, holy jeebus.

Seriously, do you work in some sort of graphic arts field?

Already voted for you in the first round and just voted for you in the second, really the best on the boards.

I feel you should make it through. The amount of love you pour into each GDT shows, dude. Each GDT always feels 'complete' if you catch my meaning. I love the movie themes and the double-bagging


I've been 'professional' for about 2 full years now with the last year being official in my company. Before then I was just a code monkey for a the marketing firm. I mainly just fiddled with PS/CorelDRAW over the years (first was on a 133Mhz :laugh). Nothing too serious. A wallpaper here and there was pretty much it.

What about yourself? You've shown a very good eye for design.

I do work in advertising, but I'm on the numbers side of things -- media planning for 10+ yrs, go figure. I've mostly just messed around in Photoshop the past few years. Outside of an occasional Google search or a 'how to' video on Youtube here and there, mostly just self-taught. I've always wondered about graphic artist type of work, but my guess is I would find out just how little I actually know or how ass-backwards I probably do things.

You're too generous, Law


I sharpened my teeth on elance.com. There are TONS of real easy jobs from logo-making, picture-resizing, masking/cutting out, etc. It's a good way to start getting paid for it and you learn the lingo/etc. You'd be amazed at how much people value working with someone from the States instead of India or Vietnam

Rangers fan here in peace. Awesome GDT Mr. Law.

A few thoughts;

-I'm very confident in this Giants team but very nervous at the same time. I think they have a good shot if they play their game and win the turnover battle. Pressure Brady of course.

-Any of you who are superstitious, thanks for making me feel less neurotic. I've not worn a Giants jersey (only a hat) and watched the last 6 games with more or less the same people and always wore the same pants and hoodie. I'm skipping out of a SB party tomorrow to watch it with the same few people. LOL. I'm nuts.

-Also, I really don't get this whole Jets fans rooting for the Patriots thing; they play in your division and have more of an impact on you than the Giants. Would ANY of you root for the Rangers in the playoffs over lets say the Leafs (a team that has a bloody history with the Isles back in that 2002 playoff series)? If the Jets ever play either the Eagles or the Cowboys in a Super Bowl and any Giants fan would root for those two over the Jets, they need to be hit over the head with a Homey The Clown balloon.

-The Giants/Jets rivalry is totally fabricated and has been hyped by the media for only the last few years and Rex Ryan. I grew up a Giants fan but was always cool with the Jets. I was really happy when they made it to the playoffs in 91 and root for them except when they play the Giants. They've had a grand total of four incidents in the entire history of the two teams (Al Toon's spoiler game, Giants KO Pennington in preseason, Jets give Eli a concussion in the preseason, and this year's game). In fact both teams have helped each other out with players (Allegre, Leonard Marshall, Pepper Johnson and Plaxico all went on to play for the Jets and McKenzie and Weatherford for the Giants etc.)

-The biggest all NY rivalry is between our two hockey teams who have been playing and beating the @#%% out of each other for the last 40 years. Even the Mets and Yankees don't have the history of our rivalry (only since 97).

Ok, Go Giants!

It's the Jets fans who are trying to turn it into a rivalry. Since the fat ******* was hired, him and their fans miss no opportunity to take pot shots at Giants fans.

And the team treats that preseason game like the freakin' Super Bowl every year.

But I'm biased. A Jet fan can easily say that Giants fans before the Ryan-era disrespected their team like Yankees fans disrespect the Mets for being second and less successful.
