Hey, Giant Fans. Welcome to the Giant Insider podcast. My name's Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the

giant's newspaper. And with me, as always, is the beat writer, the heart of Giants Nation. Nobody beats the biz. Chris Bizignano. Well, Chris, championship Sunday is over. And if you didn't know who won yesterday, all you'd have to do is drive up the New Jersey Turnpike, around exit 13 or so, look to the right, and you'd see that the Empire State building

was lit up green and white

for the Philadelphia Eagles.

And that's where, Jersey Turnpike, around exit 13 or so, look to the right, and you'd see that the Empire State

building was lit up green and white for the Philadelphia Eagles. And that's where we are right now.

That's where we are as a fan base. We get to go to our city and see an iconic landmark lit up

with our opponents or our arch rivals colors. And then if you drove by a little later, you'd see

that it was lit up for the Kansas City Chief. So listen, what an absurd thing to do. It's beyond stupid. It's embarrassing. I hated it. When I saw it, I couldn't believe it. I know it happened. I think they did it after the Eagles won the Super Bowl. Did it happen years ago? They did. Yes.

After the Super Bowl, they did it.

And to do... Every Super Bowl lasts four or five years?

I don't know, because I only noticed it when the Eagles did, but I looked up...

I think they did it for the...

When the Dodgers and the Astros went at it, too.

It's...

Really?

It's insane, dude.

Okay. I don't get it. I don't know if New York's looking at, I guess it's a global city. It's a global city. They look at themselves like Paris. Okay, I get it, but there's also sports teams that play here, guys. Um, I mean, as a, look, I guess my, my question when this happened was if the Flyers win the Stanley Cup and you're a block away from the garden, do you really light it up orange and black? I thought at first, like, maybe this was an FU to New Jersey because the Giants play in Jersey. I don't know. I was looking for any reason, Chris. Not that that's a good one, but I was looking for anything. And then I looked in the past and I think they lit it up for the Astros. Astros, like, you know, I think what Bob Papa tweeted about if the Red Sox win or something. I don't know. I forget what he tweeted. But somebody tweeted if the – maybe someone with the Giants organization. If the Red Sox win, you're going to light it up for them. So congratulations, Chris. If the Sox win the series, you just look at the Empire State Building and be happy, bud.

Well, you know, I'm curious, Jerry, because, you know, somebody tweeted that, oh, they did this in 2018, too, or something, right? Yeah, I remember that. Well, the Red Sox won the World Series in 2018. I don't remember the Red Sox Colors. I mean, am I wrong? I think I would have remembered that one, bro. Yeah. So I don't quite get it. I don't know. I guess obviously some infants running a Twitter account, the way they're tweeting. And the whole thing of we're going to put up sports team. I had no idea. They were obviously catching a lot of backlash because, you know, who the hell wants to see Eagles colors up there?

But, and the thing is this, Jerry, like there's no way to do it in Philadelphia if the Giants go into Supertown. They don't do it in any. They rather burn their town down and put anything blew up in Philadelphia. So, I mean, it's just so idiotic. I mean, you know, and, and I, you know, you look at it and say, what the hell, what the hell is, I don't get the

what the hell is a point of it, you know, whatever, you know, New York trying to be, you know,

all like, oh, we are, we represent everybody, you know, the whole world and whatever.
