Thanks, RushDog, for the article on Jordin's dad, Philippe..I have been a New York Giants fan since 1980..(my current Ca. license plates read "I Love (heart sign on tag for "love)My NYGiants"..my Va.plates were "NYGiantsFan"..Philippe was always a favorite MANY years before Jordin was my favored Idol. However, Jordin is NOT my favorite just because of my love of the Giants, she is my favorite because she is the Best Contestant in the Season 6, 2007 American Idol Contest and deserved the honor of being our Season 6,2007 Champion.:boldblue:

You mean you're not a Chargers fan? Just kidding. That's cool that you stick with your team. I've stuck with my Bears everywhere I've lived. Although, I do have a Jeremy Shockey jersey, that I like to wear to piss off all the Cowboys fans around here, especially after the Cowboys lose to the Giants. That's always fun.

Yes, Rushdog--I know where you are coming from..when I lived in the D.C. area of Va. (RedSkin Country)I loved wearing my NYG teeshirts, and sporting my NYG license plates,etc...I was such a Phil Simms,LT (Lawrence Taylor NOT LaDanian Tomlinson of the SanDiego Chargers)fan..have to say that now that I am in SanDiego, that the Chargers ARE my 2nd favorite team..even tho as a rule I prefer the NFC to the AFC. And Love Jeremy Shockey.Also, wanted you to know that you save me from so many posts...everytime I think I am going to have to reply to something someone says that I don't agree with, you come along and reply for me, saying in essense what I would have said...Spooky, sometimes!:)

Oh man, I hated the Redskins when I lived in the D.C. area. That's when they won the Super Bowl with Mark Rypien. Their fans are so annoying. But, now I don't really care about them, because they suck.

I like the Chargers too. I was hoping they would go to the Super Bowl last year. I think they should stick with their throwback powder blue uniforms, though. Those are my fave.

I've been a Shockey fan, since he was at Miami. He's my favorite Tight End. I always try to pick him for my fantasy teams.

Yeah, that is kinda spooky. Great minds think alike I guess. LOL It's up to us Jordin fans to stick up for Jordin, and to bombard Jordin haters with all kinds of Jordin articles and clips. Just to remind them how special she really is. :D

Yes, RushDog..Redskin's fans are the true reason for most of us disliking the Redskins...the fans are SOOOOOOOOOO obnoxious..I remember one year they had a...don't know what you'd call it..facsimile??..of Danny White (Dallas Quarterback as I know you would know, maybe not too many others) HANGING from a tree...
the fans of the years of Dexter Manley and Joe Theissman were the worse, I think..hence my love of the Giants!!:1luvu: But back to the Jordin haters, I don't understand them..I can love Jordin, and still appreciate Melinda, who I feel is also truly fantastic...Why do they have to put down Jordin in order to support Melinda? There is more than enough room for both!! :argue:

Yeah, I hated that whole Joe Gibbs era. I couldn't stand Dexter Manley. I still can't stand Joe Theisman. I was not a happy camper when they beat the Broncos and the Bills in the Super Bowl. I couldn't stand all the stupid commercials with Rypien, and Charles Mann, and all them people. I'm so glad they suck now. When Gibbs quit, and they started sucking, I was very happy.

I don't understand the haters. We all know that Melinda will have a great CD, and she'll be able to do her own thing, and have a great career of her own. But, man when she got voted off, I couldn't believe how many people went off the deep end. They weren't saying bad things about Jordin before Melinda got voted off, but afterwards they were saying all kinds of vile things about her. I mean if Jordin got voted off, life would go on for me. I wouldn't lose mind like some of these people did.

What's really sad is that they're wishing ill will towards Jordin, hoping her career won't be successful. I'm afraid they'll be disappointed again.

Yes, Rush, as I have said before, we are of one mind...there is so much venom,so unwarranted...I loved the top 4 and even +...Chris R and Phil were also so very talented...had Jordin lost, I would have still been happy knowing my Fav had made the final 2 out of thousands..and that she had a lucrative career, ahead of her. And --once again,I appreciate all your comments as they usually concur with my own,but besides that, they cut to the core of the matter and with a few sentences you state the obvious..and I am left with not having to post anything as you have already said it for me! Thanks!!:jump1:

It's my pleasure! Hopefully the venom will fade away with time. Time heals all wounds, I guess.

I actually got an email on my myspace the other day from a guy I'd never met before, who said he appreciated all the positive things I've posted about Jordin on here. It made me feel pretty good. With every Jordin hater, there's hundreds more that love Jordin, and want her to do well.

Nice article.
It's nice that Jordin's dad is so supportive.
Not that he woudln't be, but it's still nice to show that.

Unfortunately, success breeds hatred.

Unfortunately, success breeds hatred.

You're right about that. I guess they'll be hating her for a long time then.
