Obviously answers are voluntary. McCherry’s post of tribute to GL got me thinking about this.
When Im high fiving your comment, or finding a polite way to say I think you’re nuts (I’m sure my comments illicit the same responses, more of the latter than former), I want to make sure my mind’s eye has the right image to congratulate or chide.
I’m 51.

I'm an old fart cdn, I'll be 77 in June. There's nobody more surprised than me that I've made it this far. Been a Giant fan since I was 10 years old in 1957. Boy were we a terrific team back then for the next 6 years through 1963. So many HOF players on those Giants teams.
Then the famine of 1964 through 1982. Reminds me of the mess were in now.
My family my kids families and grandkids all Giant Blue.
Bleed Giant Blue !

79 in July and also a Giants fan in the 50's! The sudden death 1958 Championship Game, called the greatest game ever played, loss to Baltimore and Unitas still bugs me!

48 and just reading the replies so far it's something that your mind tells you what age you think some posters are by their username or some of the commentary and such. So far I would've thought some of you were younger especiall you guys in the 70's

Guess I'm on of the babies of the board...I'm 29. Probably why I'm more optimistic than most...haven't experienced a drought period for the NYG longer than our current hole beginning in 2012 lol Pretty crazy to think I was 12 or 13 when I started viewing the old boards, I sure did enjoy the "News and Views" threads and I believe it was after the 2010 fiasco with philly that I actually created an account because I couldn't find words to speak in real life for a couple days...I was so stunned lmao

52, from Hampton, Virginia, and never been to Canada! How are you posting when they don't have power there?
P.S. Strange Brew was one of my favorite movies for many years and besides Flash was the only thing I remembered(*) Max Von Sydow being in.
* of course since then I have seen many things with him.

One of his many professions was a "long haul Tractor Trailer driver" and I let him know where I worked he said he had delivered there before and let me know the next time he be in. Extremely nice guy and very knowledgeable about the draft process and the Giants.

Grew up in Tulsa...always hated the Cowgirls. For some reason (proximity to Dallas?), we got a ton of NFC East games...spent a couple years as a Redskin fan, because of Riggins. LT and Bavaro changed everything and never looked back.

54 and actually in the best shape in my life. Started watching during the end of the dark era, Ray Perkins. Was living in Chicago when the Giants won their first SB in 86, which was awesome as I spent an entire year being told how much better the bears were.

I’m 65.
My dad brought home a program from a Giants Eagles game 1964. He went to a bar after the game down the street and some Giants players came in. My dad got about 6-7 autographs. I was 6. My dad was a huge Giants fan and played semi pro. He had a tryout scheduled with the Giants but was badly injured loading meat into a freight car at his job in Jersey.
No tryout.
Born in New Rochelle. Lived in the Bronx then moved to New Rochelle.
I can’t remember all the names - I was 6. I kept it a few years and I “ think “ Del S Erich Barnes and Dick Lynch were 3 of the names but wouldn’t bet my life on it.
I find reading the posts interesting - good thread!

This board isn’t short of accountability or feedback. Optimism? Little low.

I am 54.
Back in the early to late 80's my dad used to take us to Pace for training camp. We lived close and it was free so it was a great way to keep us busy. Running through the parking lot getting autographs, watching my dad leaning on the fence talking to Parcells while Harry Carson came over and gave me a pudding pop. Shaking LT's hand...Dudes were all bigger than life back then with those huge shoulder pads. Too many good memories growing up with this team. So glad I grew up in a Giants house and not a Jets house! Left NY in 96 for UT and then been here in SoCal since 97.

I'm 39, gonna be 40 before Labor Day. Family is from Parkchester in The Bronx, my dad and my Uncle Mike used to games at Yankee Stadium, so you can say I was born into this.
I've lived all over the country, from Brooklyn to LI, LOL.
I've met some of you guys in person and am always looking forward to meeting more of you in person.
The G-Fambulance is no more, but I still attend games
My avatar is a picture from the 07 super bowl that the daily news posted and I'm right smack dab in the middle with my hard hat on
