Guest Blogger Richelle Ryan on Sports!
As most of know I am a HUGE Ny Football Giants fan, I’ve been very lucky over the past year to have attended the ESPY Awards in Los Angeles which fell on my birthday July 11th, what a nice present 🙂 I also went to Training camp for my first time this year in Albany Ny and attended 2 games so far this season.
The ESPY Awards was such an amazing experience, I went with 2 of my friends and we had the time of our lives! We sat in row M on the floor and were surrounded by tons of Giants players. I sat next to Prince Amukamara and he was nice enough to let me wear his Superbowl Ring, how awesome was that! The awards show was amazing even though my Giants didn’t win Team of the year and the Miami Heat took it boooo! 🙁 Halfway during the award show their was a performance by Hip-Hop recording artist NAS which got the entire venue to their feet. After the Award show we had tickets to the VIP after party and that was where all the fun began. We mingled around had a few drinks, I met some more of my Ny Giants and got to try on a few more Superbowl Rings and as a joke my best friend had Rob Gronkowski from the New England Patriots sing me Happy Birthday Hilarious!!
In August I was booked for a Feature dance Appearance at Club Pleasure Island in Newburgh, Ny which is about an hour away from Albany. The Sunday after my Dance appearance was over I loaded up my rental car and headed to Albany. Monday afternoon I made my way to Training camp and was amazed at how many people attended, I would say at least 4,000 fans were there to watch the Superbowl Champs warm up and run threw some drills. I saw the 1st round draft pick rookie David Wilson from Virginia Tech for the first time on the field and he is fast as lightening, maybe faster! It was great hearing the crowd yell "Cruuuuuuuuz" once Victor caught a 10 pass for a Touchdown but no Salsa Dancing happened at Training Camp, such a disappointment 🙁
My First game I attended this season was Week 4 in Philidelphia against the Eagles. It was my first time going to that stadium and probably my last, I was warned a million times before going there that it was a rough stadium and their fans were crazy ( which I already knew) but I still went. I was rocking my away jersey for my favorite player Ahmad Bradshaw #44. Going into the stadium I heard the usual "Giants Suck" and people singing the Eagles chant and blah blah blah….I’m pretty good at ignoring idiots but once I got into the stadium and in my seats was where it got rough, over the course of the game I had beer thrown on me, was tripped by 2 guys as I was walking to the bathroom and of course had the usual shit talking going on. The game did not end in the G-men’s favor, we lost the game 19-17 and I left Lincoln Field a sad Giants girl.
Week 13 we were playing our other Division rival the Washington Redskins and I invited my girlfriend Lisa who knows absolutley zero about football (except for what a touchdown is) hahaha I still love her tho to go to the game with me under 1 condition- She HAD to wear a Giants jersey which she did 🙂 We loaded up my car and made the road trip 2 hours north to Fedex Field, I was surprised to see a ton of Giants fans, way more than I saw in Philly. I was wearing a custom Ahmad Bradshaw jersey of course and I made Lisa wear my blue one. We walked around the stadium a little and then made our way down to the field to watch my guys warm up. Lisa and I had a blast in the stands during the game, I had to explain every play and made sure she knew when to jump up and cheer. Sadly my second game of the season did not result in getting the win, we lost 17-16.
Coming up we have 2 tough road games against the Atlanta Falcons who are 11-2 in the NFC South this Sunday and the Baltimore Ravens who are 9-4 in the AFC North the following week then a home finale against the Eagles who we will hopefully get some payback on from week 4. Giants right now are in the Playoff hunt, we still lead by 1 game in the NFC East and I believe if we come out the gate hard this Sunday against the Falcons we can beat them especially with our strong offensive line going up against Atlanta’s defense which has played poorly the past 2 games- cue the Carolina Panthers replay hahaha

The Ravens have lost 2 straight games and recently fired their offensive coordinator but I feel this game will be a dogfight!!! I’m actually really looking forward to it 🙂
Can’t forget about the last game of the Season in week 17 at our home against the Eagles who are 4-9 in the NFC East. being that it’s a home game the energy at Met-Life Stadium should be out of control and we can finally get some much deserved payback! But Chatter all you want Giants Haters were still the Champs until you take it from us and we still have a 1 game lead and just dropped 52 points this past Sunday on Drew Brees and his gang with our back up running back!!
Here’s to a great rest of the season GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!

I knew Philly fans were mean nasty fucks but I never thought they would stoop this low. Men tripping women with the possibility of someone falling and knocking their teeth out on the concrete. Richelle has beautiful teeth and I would hate to see anything happen to them.
These fans are unbelievable. You name it, they have done it. They cheered when the cart came out after MIchael Irvine landed on his neck. One guy jumped into the penalty box at a hockey game and fought Tie Domi.
Then there was the genius woman who offered sex for some Phillies World Series tickets. She was arrested.
If the Giants ever play in Pittsburgh, Richelle should go. The fans are friendly and its mainly just good natured ripping on a fan of the opposing team.
They can’t be worse then Oakland fans. Them motherfuckers will shoot ya or give ya a beatdown if you cheer an opposing team.
You are right Karmafan, Raider nation looks like they came straight off the playground of San Quentin.
When the Steelers played the Raiders years ago, a fan Steeler fan was beaten so bad he has permanent brain damage.
Im truly amazed when I see fans wearing the opponents jersey at a Raider or Eagle home game.
Ive heard the same about Yankee fans. A co-worker told me he went to a Tigers-Yankees game in New York. A guy in a business suit with a Tigers hat was watching the game a few rows in front of him. This guy was quiet and not bothering anyone. He got doused with beer, ruined his suit, and they insulted him the whole game.
People take this shit way too seriously
People take RefBall too seriously*
What a stupid barbaric sport, bunch of brutes all hopped up on HGH.
Beer and Circuses. Scream for “your” team even though players jump from one team to another, one year after the next. According to GQ mag rag, the worst fans are in Philadephia, with both Eagles and Phillies fans getting the top two votes.
Btw, I just don’t know about “real” men waving white hankies or towels around…
If you count hockey as a major sport, which you shouldn’t, Flyers fans are the ones that rate right behind Eagles fans as Lowest Form of Human Scum. Veterans Stadium was the first major sports complex to have its own court in session during games.
I have been to a Phillies game or 2 at the old Vet, and I can’t say the fans were that bad. They are in no way as rowdy or delusional as Eagles fans. Only good thing Eagles fans ever did was cheer for Micheal Irvin to be crippled.
Hockey fans count it as one of the big four along with Baseball, Basketball, and Football but I always found Hockey to be pretty boring. Kinda like watching the grass grow.
Thats why there are so many fights in Hockey (to spice the game up). More fun watching guys knocking other motherfuckers out then slapping a puck from one end of the ice to the other.
wtfru talkin bout sir jerkalot? hockeys the most hardcore sport, just ask any of the many with their front teeth missing…. any game where the players aren’t at risk of getting seriously hurt, like golf, shouldnt be called a sport… the only ones at risk are spectators who might get smashed in the face with a slice… no wonder its an elitists game!
and hockey is not boring… its like football on speed with fighting a regular part of the entertainment.
Sports form of entertainment for the masses. There are huge masses of people who lead boring lives and accumulate thrills and satisfaction from watching others perform, kind of like porn nuts. As for the actress who is all ga-ga about the jocks , there have always been tag alongs , groupies who stalk the jocks regardless of sport. They follow all sports because the guys tend to be in great shape and have more money than they know what to do with. I have seen such groupies passed around the team at all levels of sport. High School–at College and Pro.
A seniors tour golf match in Palm Desert the old golf groupies follow the Senior PGA pros like dogs sniffing bacon on a griddle.
The govt. loves professional sports. The average middle class peon american works his ass off and comes home at night just happy to turn the ball game on, drink a couple cans of beer and eat some potato chips. A couple times a week he gets a piece of ass from the wife and considers himself blessed.
He keeps his attention on frivolous matters like sports, movies, and TV and doesn’t think about how badly he is getting fucked over by the rich and powerful. Its escaping from reality until the next day when he gets up for work and does it all over again. Its the same story with women only instad of sports its Dancing With The Stars, The Voice and American Idol.
As for Karma Fan —-Raider fans are the greatest. Try a tailgate party with Sierra Nevada, Gus’s New York Pizza , some chicken wings and some fresh buds
grown in the Trinity forest. Then settle in for some smashmouth football. The team needs a coach from the ranks of veteran players. The new guy is a JOKE.
with all these singing shows… hey someone already sang that song… create your own shit! oh, sorry, the corporations don’t really want that!
