Ulcers were forming at an alarming rate; but I had been dealing with this my entire life and was well prepared. After all, I endured an entire decade of Knicks basketball that was more stressful than solving the American economic crisis. Charles Smith missing layup after layup against the Bulls, Patrick Ewing trying the finger roll instead of dunking, Reggie Miller taunting our fan base multiple times after raining down clutch three-pointers...and this was all when the team was good!

But as my beloved Metropolitans failed to score with the potential winning run on third and less than two outs for the 3rd straight inning last night, it all of a sudden hit me. Considering all the crap I have head to deal with between the Mets this decade and the Knicks in the 90's, I am so grateful to be a Giants fan.

My name is Andrew Rizzi and I am starting my Giants blog here. I am a diehard Big Blue fan with what I think is a pretty good sense of humor, and I love to write about sports so I thought this would be a great place to expand my experience in prose.

I have written for a few different blogs and sports sites over the years, and have a background in journalism. But the main reason I am writing in this blog, as opposed to others in the past, is to bring joy to other young Giants fans out there.

 
So please feel free to post whatever you want in response to my entries and let me know what I should change or what I should continue doing.  If you want me to rip on Plaxico Burress for acting like a baby and missing practice this week, thus costing the Giants a better chance at going 4-0, then tell me and I will be your Internet slave. If you want me to analyze each game to the very last detail about what shampoo the third string quarterback for the Seahawks uses (Charlie Frye, and he prefers Pert Plus), then so be it. And if you want me to post pictures of Eli Manning and Amani Toomer naked in the locker room...well then you're out of luck.
