If we make the offs, we're winning the Super Bowl.
I'm dead serious, this feels like one of those years. We may start off 6-2, lose 3-4 games straight, then get hot at the end of the season.

remember "All IN", now its "Burn The Boats"

On the eve of the first practice of his 11th Giants training camp in charge, coach Tom Coughlin invoked a new Super Bowl rallying cry when he addressed his team Tuesday morning:
Burn the boats!
“It’s a mentality … the idea of coming into something with no turning back,” Coughlin told The Post. “The whole theme is, there’s no turning back.
“If you’re here for the right reason, all right? And you share with us the goals. And you’ve put the time and the effort into it, there is no turning back. Once this thing starts, it’s a full commitment, and we have to have everybody in that circle to get it done.
“And that story just illustrates the way in which the Grecian warriors were treated when they attacked another nation. As they landed onshore, the commanders told them, ‘Burn the boats.’
“Well burning the boats symbolized what? It symbolized that if you survive, you’re gonna defeat the opponent, take his boats, and you will have a chance to return home. But if you don’t do it, you’re not ever going home.
“So, the idea of that type of commitment, the idea of no turning back, is just an illustration, a story, a parable, which drives home a good message, and that’s what I was after.”

Organization blasts Giants for hiring David Tyree, who opposes gay marriage

The story of the New York Giants hiring David Tyree to be their director of player development seemed heartwarming on the surface.


Tyree made one of the greatest plays in NFL history, the famous "Helmet Catch" that led to the Giants upsetting the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. He never caught another NFL pass. The Giants hiring him was a callback to their past glory, bringing a former Super Bowl hero home.

The Human Rights Campaign wasn't so excited about the idea, recalling Tyree's views on gay people and his stance on gay marriage in 2011, and ripped the Giants for the hire.


Tyree tweeted in 2011 that “there is no scientific evidence to support the claim of being born gay," according to CBS New York. He also told the New York Daily News in 2011 that he'd trade his famous catch and the Giants' championship to stop gay marriage.

Remembering this, the Human Rights Campaign criticized the Giants for hiring Tyree, according to ESPNNewYork.com.

"When did Tyree decide to be straight?" HRC president Chad Griffin said in a statement to ESPNNewYork.com. "The idea that someone can change their sexual orientation or gender identity is ludicrous, and the New York Giants are risking their credibility by hiring someone who publicly advocates this junk science. His opposition to basic legal equality aside, David Tyree's proselytizing of such dangerous practices goes against the positive work the Giants organization has done in recent years."

Tyree had no comment on the HRC statement when reached by ESPNNewYork.com. The Giants told ESPNNewYork.com in a statement, that Tyree "was expressing his personal view, and that is not the view of the Giants organization."

Wade Davis, who came out after his NFL career was finished and now is a LGBT advocate, supported Tyree.
