Rooting for the G-Men on Saturday Night

[Aven8]

I go from rooting for the Vikes against them to rooting for the Gents the next week!……tough couple of weeks here….

Living in NY I have to deal with all the NYG fans on a daily. They are coming out of the woodwork on my social media platforms and it's very annoying. I have a few PHI fans too that have been gloating all year long and its equally annoying. I hope they play a 10 OT game, are extremely exhausted and not physically able to play their best the following week if Dallas wins vs SF.

After what happened to the Cowboys in 07 against the Giants I wouldn’t mark anything down. We beat them twice during the regular season only to lose to them at home in the playoffs. It’s not easy beating a team three times. The Giants are playing some pretty good football right now.

Exactly, I still have ptsd from that 07 loss. All my budds back home are Giants fans and they are already starting with their bs. We were the best team in the league that year and we were gone in 1! Daniel Jones to me has come into his own and he has no freaking receivers. Their Defense is coming on as well plus their coach has them believing in themselves, I have seen this act before With these freaking Giants. They should not be as good as they are, same as the 07 team.

Technically, you're saying that you DO care who wins that game. Lol

'I really COULD care less who wins....' would be accurate in your case.

Sorry... couldn't resist.

I COULDN'T care less or I COULD care less?​

Question​

​

What does “I couldn’t care less” mean, and which is correct, couldn't or could? — Judith, United States​

​

Answer​

​

When you say that you couldn’t care less about something, it means that you are not at all concerned about it; it doesn’t matter to you. Here is an example:​

• Tom says he couldn't care less if he gets fired. (=Tom says he doesn’t care if he gets fired; it won’t matter to him.)

But you will also hear people use this expression with could instead of couldn’t, like this:​

• I could care less what happens.

Is this correct, and what does it mean?​

The answer depends on whom you ask. According to most grammarians, this expression is logical and correct only with couldn’t. If a person says, “I couldn’t care less” about something, it means that the amount of care and concern they have about something could not be any less, any lower. This makes sense. Therefore when someone says I could care less, it should mean the opposite, that they are concerned.​

However, if you listen to native speakers, you will hear people saying “I could care less,” and you will know from the context and tone of voice that they mean they are not at all interested or concerned. So while the expression with could may not be as logical, it is used. And if you’re interested in understanding actual usage, like many linguists and learners, you should definitely be aware of both forms.​

Being a logical thinking person myself, to say "I could care less" is equal to saying "I have some room to care about X". Therefore, when I could care less, and someone uses the term, I could care less, I ask them then what is your answer since obviously you care at least some bit.

So .... I repeat: I really couldn't care less who wins between the Eagles and Giants.

[Calvin2Tony2Emmitt2Julius]

Just beat the 49ers !!!!!

 

[Nova]

Rooting for the Giants too.

If we’re fortunate enough to play well and beat the 9ers, gotta want the home game

 

[Blackspider214]

I rather play Philly, want no part of the Giants.

You would rather go on the road to a hostile environment with a chance at a Super Bowl than a home game against a team we own most years? We don't lose to Daniel Jones majority of the time, no matter who is under center for us. Giants scare me absolutely none.

We owned Eli too, until we didn’t.

Count me in as rooting for the Giants as well. It's disgusting, I know, but they feel like the lesser of two evils to me.
