Ever driven around NY? Not easy if you're not familiar with the area.

What about New Jersey? If he's in New York I would have to assume that he's lost, especially considering that team HQ and the stadium are located in Jersey :D

Re: 2010 HBO Hard Knocks?
 

Got me there, I was thinking of when he was late getting out to Hofstra

Re: 2010 HBO Hard Knocks?
 

Yeah Matty the Giants stadium is right off the Jersey Turnpike. There are only like 22 exits off the turnpike in Jersey.

If you are starting a new job, would you not find out exactly where your office was before you head in?

Even if you didn't and were late the first time, would you not get your bearings by the second time you went in?

Good opportunity to ask you something (Matty as well). If you're from New York how do you decide which football team to root for? Is it usually as simple as who's doing better when you start watching football or is there some sort of territory thing? My friend thought it was something along the lines of people from Jersey rooting for the Jets and people from New York rooting for the Giants. Better yet why are you a Giants fan instead of a Jets fan?

Baseball seems a little simpler since the Yanks and Mets have different stadiums located in different parts of the city.

Re: 2010 HBO Hard Knocks?
 

Giants have always been the main draw, the Jets have always been the kid brother. Sort of like the Yankees/Mets. I don't think you can draw any hard conclusions as far as geographic areas. You find Giants/Jets fans everywhere around the city and Long Island. Upstate is still mostly Giants, Jets 2nd, some Bills, some Patriots.

With me anyway I was born a Blue blood (get it...)my dad raised us Giants Fans it's all we knew.My Dad has had seats for the Giants since 1949 and the Polo grounds in Brooklyn ,generaly most Giants are like myself long time family of fans 2nd and third generation of fans where as a jet fan ...when they first came into the league were fair weather fans and couldn't get to see a Giant game so they jumed on board the Jet fan base.The jet fan base is alot younger then the Giants or at least it was until this new stadium,people like my family were forced out by PSL's....less real fans and more corperate people, hope that helps.:food-smil

LOL.....even if you are...it still sucks!

Re: 2010 HBO Hard Knocks?
 

Good episode last night. I wish they would have given a little more detail regarding what made the Revis deal turn around suddenly, because they made it look like it was a dead deal when Ryan stormed out of the room all ticked off.

Re: 2010 HBO Hard Knocks?
 

Yeah, I watched last night to, just because of the interest in the Revis deal, but they did not get into the way the deal went down much at all.

I also thought that it was reported that Rex went down there with Jets management but they did not cover that at all either. From the way it was reported it seemed as though that they went down and made the deal, but in watching the show the deal was actually done over the phone.

God this was a great season of Hard Knocks

Re: 2010 HBO Hard Knocks?
 

Anyone else think that Mike Tannenbaum always seems so awkward and nervous when cutting guys? I know it's not an easy thing to do but he just seems to make it worse.

Re: 2010 HBO Hard Knocks?
 

Yes, and also so full of sh*t when cuttin them.

So true I liked how the TE was like I am coming for you (if he ends up another team).

We were doing here in the office as joke, role-playing, we thought the funniest thing is they always cut the guy before he even gets to sit down. Shit if you cut me before I sit down, I am not sitting I am like see ya.
