Ok, let's all agree that the 2013 version of the New York Giants isn't very good. Let's also agree that the Giants have been one of the best teams during the past 13 years. Not necessarily great, but really good and really entertaining. With trips to the playoffs in 2000, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2011, the Giants have been generally feared by opposing teams for a very long time, mostly because of three marquis players - Eli Manning, Brandon Jacobs and lately, Victor Cruz.
Not much to say about Eli Manning except that the guy somehow wins. I don't get it but his record speaks for itself. How about Brandon Jacobs? He's one of those great football stories that old guys will be talking about in 30 years, "Oh yeah, I was there in 2009 when The Creator ran through the Cardinals like butter." From 2005 to 2011 Brandon Jacobs played great football, mostly injured, which is why New Yorkers will always have a soft spot for the guy. And then there's Victor Cruz. Another great story. After an unremarkable college football experience at UMass, he doesn't get drafted but somehow gets signed by the Giants in 2010. The next thing you know, the guy is catching footballs all over the place during a Monday night preseason game against the Jets. Gets a ton of yards and scores three touchdowns, and ends up making the team. His exploits during the 2011 Super Bowl run are now legendary with killer games against the Cowboys, 49ers and Pats.
Its in honor of these three greats that we offer this cool Giants logo football:
