I love seeing some Coffeyville, KS and some Maryille, MO repped in these connections today.

91), and was a member of New York’s Super Bowl XXI and XXV squads.

the N.Y. Giants asst. OL coach.
Kansas City DE Wallace Gilberry entered the NFL as a rookie free
agent with the Giants in 2008 and spent time on New York’s practice squad.
Giants secondary coach Peter Giunta (2001-05) and asst. special teams

I might be in NY

But I’m in a KC state of mind.

But I’m not “of” N.Y. [tip of the hat to nycchief’s great line]
Been living in this area (NJ, Queens, Long Island now) for going on 30 years, but have still celebrated and lamented with my Chiefs all these years. (The last few years have seemed a lot longer than most prior ones.)

I’m razzing my coworkers that Chiefs will rise up to be Giant-killers tomorrow. Giants are complacent (as they should be), but KC should be like a caged animal by now.
So c’mon, don’t let me down. Even if you lose every other game this season, a win now will keep me going and allow me to fend off the Blue Boys!
