an open letter to giants fans (or why i'll be rooting for the 49ers today)

dear giants fans,

it's not all of your faults collectively. some of you are cool. but the majority of you are jets haters. you hate on the jets and you hate on jets fans. i've never understood this fully. if you're a fan of the giants, isn't liking the giants enough? isn't that the only prerequisite there is to being a true fan? why do most of you have this urge or need to hate everything about the jets?

and sure, we could blame it on the current jets. rex ryan and his big mouth. a locker room supposedly falling apart. an overrated quarterback who does gq photo spreads. but let's be honest giant fans, most of you were hating on the jets long before coach ryan rode into town.

we're not in the same division or conference. we don't compete for the same playoff spots. except for once every four years when they play each other in the regular season, there's almost no reason for either team to root against the other.

i know a lot of you feel that your team is the superior nyc area football team. and it's hard to argue. you have the superbowl victories to back it up. but why can't you just enjoy that for what it is without having to rain on someone else's parade?

and it's not like you wanna convert us. any jets fan that jumps on the giants bandwagon would still be victim to nonstop ridicule.

i've had enough of it. i've tried to be a positive dude all season and not hate on the giants. and i've done a good job of it. i even watched my jets lose to the giants with my homeboy matt who's a big giants fan and at the end of the game i said, 'well, the better team won today.'

and matt, i'm sorry dude. you are my favorite giants fan but since you're stuck at work today, i have no choice but to go against all this jets hating and say that today, for one day, i will officially be a giants hater. i will hate on the giants for all the hate i took from jets hating giants fans all year.

so go ahead jets haters. talk your trash. giants are one game away from the superbowl and i still gotta read jets hating facebook status updates. enough's enough. the only way i'll feel right about all things football related is if today, just for one day, i say....

FUCK THE GIANTS! GO NINERS! (that felt good, and fuck the pats too while we're at it.)

(matt, billy, doob, and alex... you guys are cool. sorry i gotta do this... hope you understand.)
