Dear Giant Fan,

I’m wary to write this letter. It’s not of my character or upbringing to intercede in the personal matters of others, especially people I do not know.

But, as someone who has experienced loss I know the leavening effect a little foreknowledge can have on grief. So this letter is one of condolence. For your loss. The loss you will experience on November 12th at the Meadowlands. It is there that the Monsters of the Midway — our Monsters of the Midway — will end the Giant’s season and relegate them to the ignominy of a chance — if they’re lucky — at a wild card spot. Or, more likely here, some middling slot in the draft.

Prepare, my friend, for the weeks when Chicago comes to New York, owns the town, destroys the competition, and heads home to continue their march to Miami.

With our condolences,

Bearz Nation
