The first words in London I hear are ...

Not three seconds onto the jetway from the British Airways flight into Heathrow, and our good friend with the No. 56 jersey welcomes himself to the UK with the following words bellowed as loud as he possibly can:

"Let's go Giants!" clap-clap, clap-clap-clap"

"Let's go Giants!" clap-clap, clap-clap-clap"

You think the locals caught on to the fact that he might have been from the United States?

...

Giants players and coaches due to take off at 6 p.m. eastern. Will arrive at approximately 6 a.m. local time, will catch a few winks, and off to practice at Chelsea Soccer Club's training facility shortly after noon.

Cheers.

Had any fish & chips yet?

OMG, I am a Giant fan, and I would be truly embarrassed by the rant of this idiot.

What time is it over there now, Bob? Will the Giants have to drive down the left side of the field to score TDs?

Gridder Tom:

No Fish & Chips just yet. It's midnight over here. Just a little roast beef sandwich for dinner.

Tom:

That was nothing. I've seen entire planeloads of Jints fans chant "Here we go Giants, here we go!"

Part of the culture, I guess. But hey, they're what make Giants Stadium rock.

Hi, Bob,

Do hard-hitting football players eat bangers and mash?

Greg Gordon:

Jolly good question, mate. Will investigate shortly.

Cheers

Understood, Bob, but I don't know...seems so...I don't know the word...childish?

Tom:

Just look at it like these Giants fans are just a bunch of kids at heart. I assume many of them have high-paying jobs during the week, and that they can kind of "let it all out" once they leave the office, no?
