Because of the loyal and growing following the New York Giants have in Dallas, Big Blue DFW and Buffalo Joe's of Addison TX get a mention from the website Thrillist. Together we make their list of NOT-Cowboy Bars! Say it again... NOT! Cowboys Bars! Thank you Thrillist from the Big Blue DFW.
Check it out here:
Thrillist.com Link
On a lighter side of www.bigbluedfw.com : It shocks me to see how many hits we get internationally. Are they lost or Giants fans. Maybe it's the irreverent rants of Dirty Bob and Jmall or the Atari retro look we bring to the Blog that attract our hits from abroad.
Nonetheless, this past year we had an oddly strong Netherlands following, but we now have a new all time international leader. Russia has the most international views. Pushing strong for the top spot is Germany. I think we could be the David Hasselhoff of Blogs if the rest of Germany logged on and read our take of the NY Giants. Top three international viewers:
Russia
Netherlands
Germany
In closing, we cannot say it enough... Big Blue DFW shows up! Whether on TV or not show up at Buffalo Joe's in support of our New York Football Giants for Monday Night. You can't beat the energy and the excitement of the crowd! Wear Giants Blue and be Loud! Drown out everyone watching another team. See you Monday and Go Big Blue!

Giants vs Rams - More like Goats if you ask me
Week one of the 2011 football season didn’t start off as we all had hoped, but that’s not going to stop me from believing this New York Giants team has potential. Week two is here so come on out Monday night, September 19th, and watch the New York Giants take on the St. Louis Rams. Yes, they have the Giants former defensive guru, Steve Spagnuolo, but he doesn’t have the Giants pass rushers.
Will Justin Tuck play? Will JPP put Sam Bradford on the ground? Will the offensive line hold up and make some room for the running backs? Will the defensive backs actually stop making QBs have career best days? Let’s hope so, but there is only one way to find out. You have to watch the game with the rest of the New York Giants fans in Dallas.
As most of you know, BigBlueDFW is now at Buffalo Joe’s located in North Dallas. You’ll find the address listed at the bottom of this message. Thank you to all of you for getting the word out about the new location. We had a fantastic turnout for week one and I know our group size impressed a lot of people. The owner mentioned that he was short on servers before the game, but hired 4 that day because they saw how great the Giants fans were. I’m not kidding. Thanks to all of you for making it a great game day even though the final result wasn’t what we hoped for. Please continue passing the word around to any Giants fans you know.
Game time is Monday, September 19th, at 7:30 pm CST.
I’ve told the owner we still show up for Monday night games, because as you all know, it’s more fun watching Giants games with other Giants fans. Hope to see you all there.

Week 1 Therapy Session
Like most of us do after a loss - we hang around after the game and have a little therapy session. To me - losing is miserable and everyone knows that misery loves company. To me - any time I can share my frustration and disappointment with fellow Giants fans...it actually helps. So when I asked the question, "Can you name something good that happened today?" There was an uncomfortable silence.
How bad is that?
The only thing I could think of was Steve Weatherford. He didn't get a punt blocked and he didn't shank one 15 yards. Wow - the only shining light on the day was our punter? Now - given the punting situation last year - the bar has been set pretty damn low...but our punter? I guess you could throw JPP in there too...he had a pretty solid game filling in for O$i.
And I don't want to use injuries as an excuse so you won't hear it here. Injuries happen and there's nothing you can do about it. Bottom line is this team - as banged up as they are - should still be better than the Redskins. I mean - we made Rex Grossman look like a Pro Bowler.
-The offense seems predictable...again.
-Bradshaw running between the tackles and Jacobs around the corners...really?
-What about using our 264 lbs RB on 4th & 1. Why not use him as a decoy for a play action to the TE? Wouldn't that be something?
-The defense is just soft. And describing them as soft is about the biggest insult I could express.
-The guy that buzzes down for challenges should be fired. Hell - he should have been fired a couple years ago.
I guess it just feels like we lost to Arizona when they were in the NFC East. Even in some of the lean years - you could always count on 2 W's from Arizona. I guess the Redskins have become such an afterthought lately - that even I took them lightly. I can only imagine the players did too.

week 1
So I did have to wait a couple of days after a GIANTS win/loss.. before I post... First of all... it was an awesome representation of the bigbluedfw crew.. it always warms my heart to see all the faithful showing up with all the enthusiasm and genuine bravado one expects from an East coaster.... lets hope that we continue this trend... As for the game..... well I believe that until bigblue gets healthy on D, we pretty much will have to get lucky in the first couple of weeks... As you all know the fuel for our beloved GIANTS starts with the D, and that starts with JT.. then the O can get into the mix.... I will have to say I was disappointed with the O unit... when the D- is hurting, and your playing the F-ing redskins, you just have to step that shit up... One thing that always holds true as it relates to the NFL is... If you're gonna make the play offs, you HAVE to beat the teams that you're supposed to beat, its just that simple... Now while I didn't expect to go undefeated this season, I also didn't expect to lose the these chumps, the same holds true for Ari, Sea, Buff, the 49er's, and the Dolphins.... In the past I've been known to get all pissed off at the fact that the media doesn't show any love... but I'm beginning to understand a little... performances like that one on Sunday makes bigblue look like bush league... That being said, the silver lining to this business is that: its easier to fix the shit at the start of the trip than it is towards the end... I love my GIANTS weather there's one win or there's 11 wins.... I can't wait to see the crew on Monday night so hopefully we can pop this 2011 season cherry... and call her back every Sunday for a little tickle and nibble..
Peace..... Jmall

Game Day Baby!!!
Don't forget to come out and hang out with NY Giants family today for the opening game of the season. If you're afraid of coming out by yourself, DON'T BE. I promise you that you won't regret it.
In case you need a reason to come out, here's 3:
1. Division Game
2. NY Giants fans
3. Lots of attitude
Remember, we'll be at Buffalo Joe's Bar and Grill on Frankford Rd and Marsh Ln in North Dallas. It's in the same shopping center as the Aldi foodstore. Game time at 3PM Central.
Let's go BIG BLUE!!!!

It's About Time Somebody Said It
I think most of us were willing to forgive Plaxico for his stupidity, and the extra drama, if there was a chance that he might rejoin the Giants and see if there was still some magic left in the hat. As always, Senor Marble Mouth, decided he'd rather take shots at his former team and coach than move on and talk about how he's looking forward to his future, and not the past.
Dan Graziano did a great job and put it best in his blog posting on the ESPN NFC East blog.

Plax, on behalf of all of us, move on............We have.

Well It's Finally Here!!!
We’ve waited 253 days for it. The 2011 football season has finally arrived. Come on out on September 11th and watch the New York Giants start the season against their divisional rivals, the Washington Redskins. The Giants finished the 2010 season against the Redskins and now they’re going to open up the 2011 season against these chumps.
Don’t let the injuries and all the doubters have you believing anything less than what we already know. These Giants have something to prove to everybody. Come see it for yourself.
As most of you know, BigBlueDFW has relocated to a new location due to Cape Buffalo closing its doors this summer. We can now be found yelling and screaming at Buffalo Joe’s located in North Dallas. You’ll find the address listed at the bottom of this message. We’ve done our best to get the word out about the new location. Please help us but passing the word to any New York Giants fans you know. Let them know that we’ve moved and how to find us. We’ve told the owner at Buffalo Joe’s that we show up strong. Please show your support on opening day by joining the rest of us and showing them how strong our fan base really is.
So come out and watch the New York Giants open up the season at 3:00pm on Sunday, September 11th. Is there a better way to start off the season, and share the 10 year anniversary of the September 11th tragedies, than by standing with a bunch of ROWDY, PROUD, NEVER GOING TO GIVE UP, TRUE FANS that represent the greatest fan base in all of sports……
The Fans of the NEW YORK GIANTS!!!
I hope to see all of you out at Buffalo Joe’s on Sunday. Cause there’s no better to way to watch Giants games than with your fellow Giants family.

A Bold Prediction?
Earlier today, Peter Schrager with FoxSports released his 20 Bold Predictions for 2011. Prediction number 11 included:
"11. With their playoff lives on the line in Week 17, the Giants squeak out a victory over the Cowboys in a blizzard: Yes, I’m now predicting the weather, too! This, of course, comes just one week after the Giants eliminate the Jets from playoff contention with a “road” win in their shared building in Week 16. Tom Coughlin’s job is saved."
Also interesting, he had the Giants and Cowboys rounding out the wildcard playoff spots. He predicts both will finish with a 10-6 record. It'll be interesting to see how accurate this will beat the end of the season.
