Tom [Giants fan] Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 No, I'm not talking about calls they get from the refs as some of you like to try to say they do. I just read on cnnsi that the Giants do not get on an airplane until Oct. 25 when they fly to Minnesota. This includes the preseason. And as it works out, the Giants only fly to Minnesota and that is the only time they are to get on a plane up through week 11. The rest of their road games are at New England, Philly, Washington, and the Jets in that time period. All of which they will travel by bus, train, and well, with the Jets, feet to get to. Is there an advantage to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy-the-Greek Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Congrats on the avatar TOM. I guess they don't have to deal with the jet lag on cross country trips. Your right Tom, The Giants do get alot of breaks. That line gets away with more "O" line holding calls then the rest in the nfc east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I would think that that is a great advantage, although riding on a bus or train still isn't the most comfortable thing to do, especially if you weigh 300 + lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickalino Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I dont think it's an advantage, Tom. Riding on a a bus never semed to improve John Madden's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Om Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 It's not an "advantage," Thomas. It's handicapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I dont see any advantage. Especially if Dayne is still playing for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Consigliere Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Yes it is an advantage. But to be honest, I've never even thought about it. Great job unearthing that tidbit Tom, I never even thought about how much easier teams in the Northeast have in terms of at least divisional travel in comparison to the AFC and NFC West (before reallignment). It's nuts. Btw, nice avatar, but you can forgive me ill feelings, considering that in my view, the only reason Jacoby isn't in the hall of fame is because of the infinite number of MNF games Taylor turned him into his -----. Not like he didn't do it to every other LT, Canton, are you listening Canton and sportswriters? Get yer heads out of your behinds and get Jacoby and Monk in. Hell, the greatest OL of the eighties (and early nineties) has not a single OL in the HOF. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
