Yankees fans speechless after watching different version of ineptitude with NY Giants

The New York Yankees might be an historic franchise with a tremendous track record of winning, but the last 15 years have been a massive letdown. And that makes it even worse in the age of social media. You can't get away with anything as a professional sports team as long as Twitter is still operating.

But if you think being a Yankees fan is bad, then try being a New York Giants fan over the past decade. We can't even mention the Jets because ... is that even a team? Has it ever been?

The Giants were once a proud franchise. They might not have been the winningest, but their 1986 and 1990 Super Bowl wins are among the most memorable in the sport, as are their 2007 and 2011 victories over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

But you never would've thought that team could've pulled off those kinds of wins if you watched them from 2012-2025. Sure, the final years of Tom Coughlin and Eli Manning weren't great, but the franchise is paying for its sins with the way it unceremoniously dumped two legends. Coughlin was fired in embarrassing fashion and then the Giants ended Manning's consecutive starts streak by benching him for Geno Smith during a random game against the Raiders, only to start him again the next week.

Since then, it's been Ben McAdoo, Pat Shurmur, Joe Judge, Brian Daboll and Mike Kafka (who surely won't be sticking around). That group combined hastwo playoff appearances, one win, and a 54-109 record dating back to 2016. The end of the Coughlin era featured a 28-36 record with zero playoff appearances from 2012-2015. And we thought that was bad?!

You would think for as bad the Giants have been, they would've at least capitalized on a lot of the draft fortune they received with the favorable selection spots every April. But the last two years have been a new kind of ineptitude even Yankees fans in the modern era can't comprehend. The Giants have won a handful of meaningless games to screw themselves out of the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft twice now.

Yankees fans getting whiplash over New York Giants' idiocy after draft debacle

We don't endorse losing on purpose ... but if you have a 12% winning percentage heading into Weeks 17 and 18, then is it really losing on purpose? Or is it just ... doing the same thing you've been doing for a decade? It certainly isn't winning by accident! Not with the way they've come out and played the last few weeks of various meaningless seasons.

All the Giants needed to do was lose to the Cowboys — something they've done efficiently and effortlessly since 2016. They were 1-16 against them over that span, until yesterday. Now 2-16! The Raiders were dumb enough to beat the Chiefs, which nearly cost them the top pick. The Giants were just dumber.

The Giants didn't need the No. 1 overall pick because they already have quarterback Jaxson Dart in tow, but they could've used it as trade leverage against another team that needed a QB. You know. Something they tried to do when they traded down for Kadarius Toney and let the Dallas Cowboys draft Micah Parsons.

It's just insane what New York sports fans have been subjected to these last 10-15 years. The Yankees field a good product, but refuse to go above and beyond, leaving them labeled as a quasi-World Series contender and open to endless criticism, given their resources and the fact they were lucky enough to have Aaron Judge sign a team-friendly contract.

And then you have the Giants, who can't handle a simple task sitting right in front of them. And even when it looks like they're about to, somebody gets injured. The defense melts down on the final drive after playing a surprisingly competent game overall. An opposing kicker hits a 64-yard field goal as time expires.

Somebody needs to save New York sports. It could the Knicks, which would be legendary, but it's obvious the Yankees have the foundation to do it — they just put up their own obstacles. That makes it even more painful watching the Giants trip over themselves, or knowing the Jets merely exist.
