I believe I was a freshman in high school when I caught a few games of theirs on tv. I liked how they played. Their under dog style I could relate too. Bobby Hebert, the QB at that time, became my childhood hero of sorts. I had alot of respect for Swilling, Jackson, Mills, and Johnson too, the infamous linebackers that were awesome. That year they won their first ever playoff birth. That was 1987. I can't stand people who like teams because their good. I like them because they're bad. Now they're good which is a treat.
I can tell you though, in 23 years, there haven't been many good times
As far as not liking the Giants, I just don't. I guess because they are still called the New York Giants when they play in New Jersey. I had friends on the Giants too. Jimmy Finn was one of them. He played Full Back up until 3-4 years ago. I grew up wrestling with that kid. Tough mofo for sure.
I guess, I always like things that are underestimated. Like New Jersey, The Saints, Heck, even myself. I have been underestimated my whole life, even my program. Here we are still in business when many have folded. I know that has nothing to do with the Saint's, but I am just that guy who roots for the underdog. That guy who picks the nerd as my first pick in touch football. I like being an alchemist.
