New York Giants

The first article, “The Real New York Giants” by Rick Reilly is writing to readers that are worrying about the Giants’ next season. Only being six months after the 9/11 catastrophe, Reilley uses pathos to convey his message. He plays heavily on the reader’s emotions, his entire article about the lost heroes in the collapse of the twin towers with a tone of remorse and melancholy. First, he starts off with establishing the determination of the firemen. “We'll have a team if we only have 10 guys. We're

Aesthetically, I really enjoyed the New York Giants website. One thought that I immediately had when visiting the site, though, is that if I did not google it I may not have found it. Because there are other professional sport teams called the “giants” I wasn’t sure what website to type in, so I googled it and it actually came up after their twitter page and after the Google in the news section. The layout of the home page was very pleasing to the eye. I loved that they had a large picture of Eli

NFL kicker for the New York Giants who was recently suspended. The reasoning behind his suspension were allegations on the grounds of domestic violence. Though the charges were dropped due to lack of cooperation from Brown's wife and the local law enforcement, Brown still had to sit out on the opening season game. Many fans of the Giants were outraged by that ruling. That outrage would subside though since Brown will return for the rest of the season. Although maybe not as a Giant for long, for another

harsh winds in the air on the day of that 11th day in April 2002 in Roslyn, New York. Besides the awful weather, I was born that day. My life contains of my wonderful family with all my brothers, parents, and even my dogs. I also like to do my hobbies which consist of golf, fishing, and the racetrack. The 3rd thing that is very close to me is my New York football Giants. My exceptional family, my hobbies, and the New York Giants all explain my life. My number one priority in my life is my family. I

Rick Reilly uses a lyrical tone in his essay “The Real New York Giants” through his images comparing the attacks on The World Trade Center to their fireman football team. He shows this emotional tone full of images by comparing a pile of football players to a pile of rubble. The brothers Tommy and Danny would pull each other out of the pile of big, sweaty football players; but this time Danny was not pulling him out from the pile of players. “One last time, Danny pulled Tommy out of the pile.” Just

His nostalgic and somber tone reflect the gravity of the situation, remembering his dear friends who were lost in the tragic event.

“It’s part of the game… Until it’s you.” Wide receiver Mario Manningham, who has played for the NFL’s New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers, spoke these jarring words in response to commentary by other players around the league indicating their beliefs that vicious, helmet-to-helmet hits are simply “part of the game” (Battista). For many years, this view, in which concussions are actually considered to be good in the way that they show one’s toughness and dedication to football, has been shared

included conversations with players, on both the Baltimore Colts, as well as his New York Football Giants, for their recollections of that time and pieced together a fascinating story.

college, Eli followed in his brothers footsteps, becoming the No. 1 pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. The New York Giants traded four draft picks to the San Diego Chargers for Manning with the dream of being led to a third Super Bowl Championship. Eli was very unreliable coming into the league. He would throw four touchdown passes one week, and turn around the next week to throw four interceptions. The New York fan base wanted him benched immediately; one newspaper even called him “Eli the Terrible” (Lawrence

From September 11, 1924 (Moritz 270), through the late 1960’s, Tom Landry accomplished a lot of things in his life, and set new trends for many years to come. Whether it be high school football star, or flying combat missions with the United States Air Force.
