Gutless

From the Associated Press...

Internet auction sites that allow customers to buy and sell sports tickets have seen a surge in ticket sales for the game by Giants fans, The Star-Ledger of Newark reported for Tuesday's newspapers.

"It looks like it's on pace to be one of our top 25 events for all time. It's definitely one of our hot sellers," Joellen Ferrer, a spokesman for Internet auction site StubHub, which specializes in tickets for events, told the newspaper. "Although it's meaningless to the Giants, it's still going to be a great game to watch."
As I noted in a picks column a few weeks ago, the existence of Road Field Advantage is a growing phenomenon in the NFL, and a huge point as to why attendance at NFL games is at near-capacity.

Now, how should we take the individual decision of Giant Fan to cash in on this bonanza, rather than go to the game and root hard for the Giants second-stringers to stay in it against the Patriots first-string... in 45 degree weather with no rain...

Well, I'd probably roll on my team, too. (Let's face it: once you've cross the Rubicon of fantasy football, you've already had your team allegiance go into Le Toilette.) But that doesn't mean you won't get hated on by fans from other fan bases. BOO, GIANTS FANS, BOO!!!
