John Harbaugh thrills Giants fans with his philosophy for beating the Cowboys
· Yahoo Sports
On Monday night, the Giants held their annual Town Hall event. For the first time arguably since the days of Bill Parcells, the team has a good head coach who is also a clear and direct (and at times blunt) communicator.
Art Stapleton of USA Today has posted a snippet from the event that will be music to the ears of Giants fans.

Here's the question to John Harbaugh, from one of the folks in the crowd: "We turn on the TV on Sundays, and then we face the Eagles and the Cowboys, and a lot of the time they just kick our butts. How confident are you, Coach, that going into this season we'll go into those Dallas games, those Eagles games, and those Commanders games, and we'll take them down?"
"I could care less about what's happened last year, the year before that, or ten years before that," Harbaugh said. "Honestly, I don't give a crap about any of it. Not one bit. All I care about is tomorrow's practice. Because if tomorrow's practice is the way it's supposed to be, that'll be one more step in the direction of being a good enough football team to kick the Cowboys' ass."
And with that, the room exploded in cheers.
"That's our job," Harbaugh added. "That's our job to be good enough to do that. We gotta make ourselves good enough to do that. That's our responsibility."
And the countdown to Week 1 continues. With the Cowboys coming to town to face the Giants in Harbaugh's first game of his first year in New York.
While the proof will be in the proverbial pudding, Harbaugh has the fans more excited than they've been in a long time.
