My point regarding the New York Football Giants is not to belittle Jets fans (they do a very excellent job of that themselves). All I am saying, as Good, Dolphin has realized, is asking you to imagine being a fan of a longstanding franchise such as the Bears. All of a sudden, another team is dropped into Chicago. Not just an AFC team, but an AFL team, from an inferior league. What kind of lunatic abandons the Bears and begins rooting for the new team?
When the Titans were formed, the AFL was like the XFL. Wha' happen? Did Queens secede from reality?
Was there a player or did they have more accessibility to the games? What were the Giants doing at the time? I'm asking honestly, I don't know...I'm pretty pissed at the bears right now. I don't know if I could make the switch but I'd be tempted if there was a better run organization.
The Giants went to the championship in '63 and lost, and then they were mediocre to bad until LT and Parcells hit the scene. I'd venture to say that it would have been pretty easy to jump from Giants to Jets in the '60s, when the NFL didn't mean nearly as much as baseball in New York or elsewhere.
Did you know the Giants played in New Haven for two years in the '70s? I didn't until just now!
