Giants co-owner Steve Tisch took a swipe at "America's Team" in Dallas after a ticker tape parade down New York's Canyon of Heroes attended by nearly 1 million people:

There's a group of guys in Dallas that call themselves 'America's Team,' but looking out at all of you and the millions of people in the streets [Tuesday], we're 'America's Dream.'


Fine. It's your day and you deserve it but leave other teams out of your speech.

Poking a stick at a team that won't finish better than 3rd in their division. BFD! Most owners just talk about thanking the players, coaches, fans, stadium personnel and consume the day with themselves.

What a dooooshbag. One more reason to dislike the Giants organization.

Because they are NOT as good or ELITE as some people think.

Not trying to fuel a fire, but Dallas is only America's Team in Dallas...

I have never accepted Dallas as America's team, but I do think that the owner could have handled that a little better.

That name was never given to them by anyone ever associated with the team, players, fans, owners, whatever. Except for JJ most people wish it would go away. This is Rangers country now!

Tex Schram was the guy that called the Cowboys America's Team.

agree.... wasn't too appropriate to talk about any other team. the focus was and should remain on the gaints and their accomplishments this year. but owners stick their foots in their mouths just like everybody else. and that whole "America's Team" is humorous. dallas hasn't played quality football in 15 yrs and there is no reason to believe next season will be any different. many think that another .500 season next year and JJ finally cleans house.... we can only pray (not that i'm hoping for failure next season, but this bunch isn't going to win any games in january!)

Jones should sell the team to someone that can deliver a winner.
