    Why are Giants fans here on the Packer Forum? Is it to stir the pot? Maybe cause some trouble?
    I have not seen another teams fans cause trouble like this since the Super Bowl. Someone will reply to this saying they aren't here to be troublemakers but yet that is all they have done. I know how this forum handles good visitors. We get them all the time.
    Best example is the Falcons fans from last year. Nothing but respect. They knew they were on another team's forum and not their own. I know all Giants fans aren't like this, so why are these select few here? The Giants have forums where you can rant and rant about your almighty 9-7 team. If you want to argue and cause a stir then go to a place where people argue in a manner that many would refer to as childish.

    I don't mind them expressing how They don't like Rodgers "smug" smile or how we are rude to them, but I do want them to remember what board they are on and they shouldn't complain when we do make fun of or criticize them.

    Hard to say. But usually when two teams are playing each other in big games, the opposing fanbase will join up on forums and seek out their fans to talk crap.

    I joined the Saints forum where those guys were talking crap about Rodgers. They banned me lol. They said Brees outdueled Rodgers in Week 1 therefore he's the better QB. Even though they both had 3 TD passes, Brees was more impressive because he had 100 more yards. lol

    You should see that board, they are so obsessed with stats and irrelevant ****. Some of the posts there look like an algebra book with all those goofy numbers.

    Do you or anyone else have an example?
    Either we are seeing different things or the same things differently.
    I haven't seen any smack talk or things that make me react the way you did, Chip.

    My observation is that the majority of them are being respectful.
    They are a bit touchy and have knee jerk reactions to the stupidest, tiniest things and get super defensive over things that mean nothing.
    Other than that I haven't had any problems or seen anything that pushes my buttons.

    I always think that the losing QB is always better than the winning QB.
    They are right.
    Rodgers sucks.

    Another thing I don't get is why do some of the Giants fans have issues with us loving our team, here on our own forum?
    WTF!!!!??????
    It would be like if I came into YOUR house and started to tell you that the way you are living is all wrong.
    They call us "cocky" or "chest thumping" etc and yet they are doing the exact same thing like how they are going to dominate with their D against the Pack.
    What the hell is wrong with a Packers fan proclaiming that the Packers will win on a Packers forum?
    That is not being cocky. That is being confident.
    Packers WILL win.

    We don't say stir the pot out here, we say stir the medical marijuana. It's just good old fashioned smack talk. which is cool as long as you don't become a dick.

    I was driving with my wife and her kids to my mother inlaws on christmas eve. My truck is the Packer Mobile. A guy pulls up next to us and starts talking smack about the 9'ers. My 30 something stepson who was in the passenger seat, had never had that happen and was kind of like a deer in the headlights. I think he thought the guy was going to pull a gun on us, it was funny. Afterwards I gave him crap for being in the smack talk seat and letting that guy get away without defending the Packers.

    Don't cry over some trash talk. I'm not one of the trash talkers but its pretty sad seeing some of your fans crying over us coming on these boards. Personally, im here to have smart discussion about the game but you guys are overreacting in terms of "causing trouble".

    First of all, please put smack talk in the proper forum. We have had this discussion repeatedly on this board of why fans of another team are here. Let this be the last thread made on this topic. Why are they here? Their team is playing ours in the playoffs. Of course they are going to come here. For the most part, most of the Giants fans have been respectful and knowledgeable. Some have not, but you can expect an increase in trolls going into the playoffs. They know and love their team and we do ours. Surely we are not going to agree with who should win but as I have said, that is to be expected. Personally, I like their presence here and I welcome their perspective and insight on both teams and the game. I love a good debate and I don't back down, but at the same time I like to admit when the other side is in the right. If we cannot handle a little heat and rep our team with respect, then perhaps there is nothing wrong with us. I think we need to step back here and look at this objectively, or as objectively as possible. There need not be a war unless we ourselves start one.

    They were sent here to remind us that without the annoying Dallas and Philly fans, the new yorkers reign quite high on the loud mouth list.

    Personally I welcome other fans on the Giants Boards.... I didn't realize our presence was so resented here. I will respectfully cease all activity on this board... Good luck guys should be a great game.

    Oh and one more thing to the guy Whining about his packers stock you do realize that just like PSLs the Packers are just perpetrating another scam to dupe fans out of their MONEY!!!! In fact its far worse than PSLs because its not as deliberate...

    More ignorance on the Packer stock sale. No one - not a single person - has been duped. And if you understood our history, you would see why those of us who own shares of this team are grateful for the opportunity to invest in it.

    Ignorance or jealousy...it's always one or the other.

    No one is scammed, it is regulated and I would say 99% of people know exactly what they are getting into..

    I hope you NEVER bought anything from a ticket broker, as IMO you were being duped even more so.

    "Although the Packers - professional football's only publicly owned franchise - declined to comment in detail, the Packers' plans surfaced in a public filing in the state of Utah and were first reported by Bloomberg News. Packers lawyers have been checking in each state as well as with the federal Securities & Exchange Commission to ensure the stock sale is legal."

    You're Damn right they declined to comment... And by the way just because something is legal doesn't mean that its ethical... Need an example why dont you guys look up the glass-steagall act... Now if that's not a scam I don't know what is...

    Give up. Good grief. Now it's unethical for us to be given the opportunity to buy shares of our own football team? Guess what. We don't have a single owner, and we like it that way. And what do you think the Packers are declining to comment about?

    Cue the ominous music. LMAO

    You're wrong, it's been amply demonstrated. Now please shut up about it.
