The massive Giants Super Bowl ticker tape parade on Tuesday wasn't just about shredded Social Security numbers and Mike Tyson spotting: a group of rowdy Giants fans took some time out from their celebrating to wreck havoc upon a parked police car. One person stomps on the hood of the car and breaks the front window; another gets yanked off the car by a cop. Watch two videos of the scene below. more ›

With the euphoria of the Super Bowl finally wearing off, football fans, bloggers, reporters and caricaturists all have to face the fact that there are over 200 hundred days until the next season starts. Which means football fans have nothing better to do for the next 208 days than debate statistical/nerdgasm questions back and forth. Which is how we got to a point where everyone and their mother is asking: has Eli Manning now booked himself a one-way-ticket to the NFL Hall Of Fame? more ›

They didn't quite get a helmet catch, but after a thrilling game with a dramatic last drive, the Giants came back to defeat the New England Patriots and win Super Bowl XLVI 21-17. An estimated 111 million U.S. viewers watched as the Giants became the first 9-7 team to win the Super Bowl. Mario Manningham's fourth quarter catch with less than four minutes left in the game was one of the defining plays, setting up Brandon Jacob's butt-first, clock-eating game-winning touchdown. And in case you were wondering, the game finished at 9:55 p.m. more ›

With all the talk here at Giantsist.com about tonight's Super Bowl XLVI game between the Giants and the New England Patriots, it's easy to lose focus of just how incredible Super Bowl XLII was—who could have guessed that an incredible David Tyree helmet catch would become the symbol for the team's unlikely upset victory over the Pats? more ›

All week, the internet has been making fun of the infamous Huffington Post, "What Time Does The Superbowl Start" SEO-trolling article from last year. As Deadspin summarized, the post existed "for the sole purpose of garnering internet search traffic from the thousands of people Googling 'what time does the superbowl start?'" And it was damn successful too. But instead of just following that trail, we thought we'd pose a much more difficult question to pin down: what time does the Superbowl Super Bowl end? more ›

We already know that Giants fans are passionate about their ass tattoos, but it seems Patriots fans are just...insane? Or maybe insanely creative junkyard artists? Some intense Pats fans made an elaborate effigy to the Giants, "roasting" a mannequin of QB Eli Manning on a spit above the "flames" of a burnt-out Giants car. The whole thing is a metaphor, of course, for the sorrow which engulfs our lives as we drift aimlessly from one vicarious event to the next. Which reminds us: did you know the Super Bowl is today? more ›

According to sources, the NY Giants and New England Patriots are playing in the "Super Bowl" today in Indianapolis. Fans have already started converting their lawns into tributes to the gritty men and women who shall do battle today for our undying love (and/or hatred). What this all has to do with bowls, heaven knows. But it should make for some tasty bread, and some delicious circus. more ›

There are lots of parallels you can draw between the 2007 Giants and the 2011 Giants. Both teams gelled late in the season. Both teams went on the road and beat the #1 seed in the NFC. Both teams won the NFC Championship in OT. And both teams went to the Super Bowl and faced the Patriots. more ›

Sometimes with all the bad moods and boondoggles, it's hard to remember that Mayor Bloomberg is just a humble billionaire in Bermuda shorts like the rest of us. And he's got his own daydreams to help him while away the last days of his third term. With him running a temperature due to Giants Super Bowl fever, Bloomberg revealed one of those fantasies on his radio show this morning: he thinks about coming back to Earth in a second life as a quarterback, ala Warren Beatty in Heaven Can Wait. Well, it's certainly better than coming back as this guy. more ›

Finally, what watching the Super Bowl from your living room needed: FANCY FOOD. Daniel Boulud's Épicerie Boulud is accepting orders until tomorrow (Saturday, 2/4) at 7 p.m. for items like Amish Chicken Wings (Traditional Buffalo with Blue Cheese or Thai Style with Peanut Sauce), Pulled BBQ Short Ribs (with Brussels Sprout Slaw & Peppered Buns) and House Made Hotdogs... there's even White Cheddar & Smoked Bacon Popcorn. more ›

We've spent the last week and a half getting to know all the gnome worshipping, ass tattooing, elderly rapping Giants fans—but it's time to take a look at the state of Patriots Nation. Are they confidently following the lead of their supreme leader, rollerblading pirate and impish genius Bill Belichick? Or are they wetting their pants and getting their supermodel girlfriends to write "disgustingly sappy" emails imploring their friends and family to pray for victory? more ›

Giants fans are turning out to be weirder than we ever could have imagined: some of them shave the Giants logo into their heads, some of them get tattoos of Eli Manning on their asses, and some of them worship garden gnomes. But then there are the fans like the ones in the video below, residents at Cedar Crest Retirement Community who want to show their support for the Giants the way they did back in the 1920s: by lip-syncing to rap songs and wearing backwards Giants caps. more ›

On Sunday, those who don't care about sports or advertising are going to feel like Will Smith in I am Legend with all the zombies huddled en masse in front of 54-inch plasma screens, devouring chicken wings. For those who think football sucks, America's annual Bread & Circus extravaganza presents a perfect opportunity to take advantage of a relatively empty city. To that end, click on the photos for five fun alternatives to the stupid Super Bowl. more ›

This week, we've spent some time diving into the eccentric underbelly of the world of hardcore Giants fans, including vocal local pol's such as Councilman Jumaane Williams, guys who shave the Giants logo into their heads, and of course Travis from Queens, who got a tattoo of Eli Manning on his ass. Now we have a few more specimens to add to that motley crew: fans who worship garden gnomes. more ›

We know the Giants are officially the underdog heading into Super Bowl XLVI against the New England Patriots—but considering how consistently they've been playing lately, considering how elite Eli Manning's Manningface has been, considering they've already beaten the Pats at Foxboro this year, and considering the psychological ramifications of a Super Bowl XLII rematch, the Giants certainly don't seem like underdogs. Which makes Smokin’ Al’s BBQ Joint's Super Bowl deal even crazier to us: “Pick up the food. You put it on a credit card, and if the Giants win, we rip up all the credit cards. We cancel them all out and the food is free on Smokin’ Al’s,” owner Al Horowitz told WCBS 880. more ›

While Jets fans are huddled in a corner praying for a Dark Knight Rises-esque stadium collapse to occur during the Super Bowl in two weeks, Giants fans are practically glowing right now. And though they may be considered the underdogs, the crazy-eyed smile on the face of normally frowny coach Tom Coughlin should give you an idea of the team's current spirits. Does that enthusiasm justify shaving the Giants logo into your head, like the man above? Sure, why not. But does it warrant getting a tattoo of Eli Manning giving Peyton Manning a noogie on your butt cheeks? more ›

If giant millionaires concussing one another in an orgy of calculated violence isn't barbaric enough, it's estimated that 600 million chickens will be slaughtered to appease ravenous Americans in time for the Super Bowl. That includes 1.25 billion chicken wings—or 100 million pounds according to HuffPo. Everyone's favorite purveyor of tasteful nudity, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, is currently negotiating to put the image above on a billboard outside MetLife stadium. more ›

It's just like 2008 all over again, with our New York Giants poised to lay the smackdown on the Patriots in Super Bowl XLVI. Though the big day is still two weeks away, it's not too early to think about how you'll be celebrating the biggest game/commercial phantasmagoria of the year. To save you from slaving away in the kitchen, we've put together a list of good catering options for your football fete so you can focus on the important things—like watching pretty boy Tom Brady get his butt whupped by the Giants defensive line. more ›

Last night, more than 50 million people watched as San Francisco punt returner Kyle Williams conjured the ghost of Bill Buckner, and Eli Manning's facial expressions led the Giants to defeat the 49ers in OT to advance to their second Super Bowl in the last four years. Despite turning into arguably the best overall team in the league over the last five weeks—and despite having beaten them already this season—the Giants are still considered the underdog going into their game with the New England Patriots, a rematch of Super Bowl XLII. But at least they can still hold this over the Jets on Twitter: "Some teams are happy getting to Conference Championship games, but #ImReallyGoodAt winning them! 5-0 all time!" more ›

Why don't football teams make music video theme songs anymore? Because there is certainly an audience for things like the Chicago Bears' Super Bowl Shuffle and this video below of the 1986 NY Giants strutting their stuff over what sounds like a third-rate Prince instrumental outtake. Although, maybe it's because the song is really a thinly-veiled anti-drug commercial: "We are the New York Giants/ Don't you know were great/ Football is our business...And drugs are not our thing/ That's why we're winners." more ›

In 2008, the Giants won in overtime of the NFC Championship game on the road thanks to a Lawrence Tynes field goal and advanced to the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots. In 2012, the Giants have done the exact same thing, beating San Francisco 20-17 to setup a rematch with New England. more ›
