Giants Fans Act More Like Boston Yobbos, Proving Yet Again That That Which We Hate Most Is What We Recognize In Ourselves
That’s the “Patriot” bar, not the “Patriots” bar, you morons:
Posted: February 6th, 2008 | Filed under: Jerk Move, Things That Make You Go "Oy"Another Patriot suffered a big loss yesterday, as unruly Giants fans shut down a bar of that name in Lower Manhattan for several hours.
“Fans got too hyped up,” the bar’s owner, Chardee Raymonde, said, describing the scene around 1:30 p.m., when patrons crowded onto the second-floor fire escape of the Chambers Street bar. Armed with pitchers of beer, some threw toilet paper onto the street below, where a crowd was tossing around an oversize beach ball. “Giants fans have a long history of wanting a Super Bowl win, and they finally got it,” she said, referring to the enthusiastic and, at times, rowdy celebration yesterday.
Even as crowds converged along the route of yesterday’s tickertape parade, revelers wreaked havoc downtown, clogging sidewalks and leaving trash in their wake.

Across the street from The Patriot bar, the owner of a photography store, Mark Mozaffari, closed his shop to avoid vandalism. “I’m afraid they’re going to break the windows,” he said, eyeing the crowd.
