new jersey tries to ruin giants' glory

"Whether you or a football fan or not, I'm sure you found yourself caught up in the hype this past winter with the success of the New Jersey Giants," said Sen. Paul Sarlo, D-Bergen. "I emphasize the New Jersey Giants."

i'll first concede by saying that i'm partly embarrassed with the fact that the new york giants play in the swampy wastelands we refer to as new jersey. but the fact remains that many teams don't play in the city they represent. the bills play in orchard park, the angels play in anaheim, the pistons play in auburn hills.

if the giants played on long island or in westchester, they would still be called the new york giants. regardless of what city or state they play in, the giants represent new york city. no one can deny that north jersey is merely a suburb of this great city. the name new york means the city, not the state of new york. if you could find a reasonable place for the giants to play in the city limits, they would i'm sure, but that's unreasonable. so instead they play ten miles west of city limits.

i won't continue to rant... bottom line, it's the new york giants. they will never be the new jersey giants, but god bless these silly senators for trying. why don't they hold some congressional hearings!
