Default Anyone work with any NY fans?

I work with one and only one.....I'll be nice....Giants fan. Every week he stills brings up how they beat us in the SB. When they were 5-0; it was a given they were going to win it again this year. I told him; they were the greatest team of all time and should win it all to shut him up.

The last 4 weeks not a F word from him. Won't even look me in the eyes. I smile and say Morning and I know its eaten at him. My time is more important than arguing with him but it is interesting how ....
some people can dish it out but sure can't take it.

I'm happy to say there are no Rats fans at my work!

Sounds obnoxious. Even during the 18-1 run, I rarely said anything to people at work, even though we would all watch the NFL games and they were fans of other teams. After we lost the SB, I got 3-4 text messages just saying things like "Amazing Season", "Tough loss, but you guys will be back" and "Sorry buddy." And these guys didn't like the Patriots. It's a lot easier to take losses when you're not an ass to everyone, and the wins are more enjoyable when you're not rubbing it in.

There's nothing more enjoyable then watching someone suffer a loss after they rub it in your face when they win.

My old roomate and best friend is a Giants fan. He gave me crap about it right after the Super Bowl but hasn't really taken jabs at me since then. He actually likes the Pats and likes to watch them play. Anyway, when they started out 5-0, he was telling me how the Giants had no weaknesses and were going to win the Super Bowl again. I told him that, as long as their pass rush kept up, they didn't have any weaknesses. However, if their pass rush disappeared, he would very quickly see that their secondary is a major weakness. He laughed. Four weeks later, here we are.

So I ask you guys: should I start taking some pot shots at him or should I just let him wallow in his own misery?

Nope... however, every time they lose, you ought to send him a funeral bouquet with a card of condolences, opining as to how "it is such a sad day for your team....." Sign it Tony Soprano.

If you can find a picture of the real LT and BB together, just send him that with no message.

That's actually one of the reasons why he respects the Pats so much...

I've been resisting taking a jab at my Jest co-worker. He's taken pot shots at the Pats all season but he's gotten quiet lately. Trying to keep the high road...

look, as football fans, we have to gloat a little bit

but thats the trick, how far you go

u have to keep it friendly still, but still make them sure you know whats going on, and you could really bring it on if u wanted, but are toning it down
