My dad is quite possibly the biggest Giants fan in the world. I believe he wore a Phil Simms jersey to my high school and college graduations.
My goal had been to win a championship, work toward the Hall of Fame, have my jersey retired by the team and I'd go in as a lifelong New York Giant, but I'm now resigned to the fact that this won't happen.
I mean, if you told me I would be one of the quarterbacks of the New York Giants when I was 6 years old in kindergarten, I think I'd take that.
Yankee Stadium is a mistake: Not mine - the Giants'.
'All In' is like the Giants motto, so I kind of took that, and I kind of used New York as the backdrop - how diehard New Yorkers are for their team. Me being a New Yorker, I just had to show my love for the city as well as my love for the New York Giants.
For me, it was watching the New York Giants growing up, with Bill Parcells and Lawrence Taylor and that whole crew coming up through the '80s. And then, as I moved on to college, I thought I'd want to coach for sure.
I'm the best Manning.
I started rockin' the BowTie when I was a rookie with the New York Giants.
Me, personally, I was a Mets and Giants fan.
Eli Manning is the one man I just don't want to see in the playoffs. He is a flatliner.
As much as I loved Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, Junior Gilliam, and Don Newcombe, I loved watching Willie Mays play more than all of them combined, even if he played for the 'bad guys!'
[Bad Influence]was David Koepp's first big screenplay. It was actually a writing sample that was around town to get David work at the time, and Steve Tisch - now the owner of the New York Giants - found it, loved it, and together we put it together. But I'd say that would be the one I'd tell people to go and look at if they haven't seen it.
In 1927, my father descended the heights and took his place as the newly appointed water boy for his beloved New York football Giants.
You get so used to going to MetLife and then going right to the Giant locker room and now you go left to the Jet locker room and that's a little weird - not anymore, but it was at first.
Playing for the Giants for four years, you had this idea that the Jets are the other team, and then, going to Miami and playing in the same division, you learned to hate them as well.
I'm a Giants fan through and through. I am crazy about Eli Manning. I'm all about the Giants.
I SEND YOU MY HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS UPON BEGINNING THE THIRTIETH YEAR OF YOUR GREAT CAREER AS MANAGER OF THE NEW YORK GIANTS, IN WHICH YOU HAVE DONE SO MUCH TO UPHOLD THE TRADITIONS OF CLEAN SPORTSMANSHIP IN THE MOST BELOVED NATIONAL GAME.
I like Strahan a lot. I've known him for years. He was a Giant here - in many ways. Had a big following with the New York Giants. He's very funny. He's got a great sense of humor.
There's not one person that sets the standard better to be a New York Football Giant than Eli Manning.
As many Giants fans know, we're one of the few teams without cheerleaders.
With the Giants I broadcast the debut of Hall of Famer Willie Mays.
The Giants have a great organization, great fan base.
Any time there's a coaching change, that's something that's pretty significant, and especially for the New York Giants, who have had the same coach for a long period of time. But we embrace it.
The injury that ended my time in football turned out to be serendipitous. I tore my Achilles while training for a pending tryout with the New York Giants, and when it snapped, so did my career, basically. That's what led me to gain the confidence to get into the acting world on my own terms.
I want to be a New York Giant for a very long time.
