Dear Giants fans,

We need to talk. Consider this an intervention. I hate to break this to you, but New Englanders are over “18-1”. That Giants win was ten years ago. 2011 was 6 years ago.

Were this 2012, or even 2013 these might have some sting to them. I know, that as New Yorkers, you have the need to be bullies; but when you’re getting your backside handed to you on a pretty regular basis, your attempts at angry taunts or put-downs look pathetic. If the Patriots weren’t the defending World Champions right now, and won another just two years ago you might still have something to go on. It’s the equivalent of a Yankee fan screaming “Aaron Boone” to a Red Sox fan, or Mets fans bringing up Bill Buckner.

You’re living in the past; and it’s getting old, and laughing at you is getting old.

Here’s a visual demonstration of why your argument is dead.

The Records

Just in case you need a history lesson, here it is. This is what your “G-men” have been over the past five seasons. You’ve got zero playoff wins, no first place finishes, and a losing record (39-41).

Meanwhile, the team you’re trying pathetically to belittle has done… just a little bit better over that period. I’ll refresh your memory.

That’s two Super Bowl wins, and a record of 62-18, and no worse than a conference championship game every year. They just won another Super Bowl, without Rob Gronkowski.

So I’m sorry kids, it’s over.

How about you worry about winning a playoff game? How about you worry about getting past a Cowboys team that is younger and more talented than the your team? Maybe, just maybe you can stop pretending that we’re 2007 wasn’t a decade ago.

Because really, this kind of thing is beneath you. You’re better than this.

Glad we were able to have this little talk.
