From the moment Giants 101 was launched in 2004, James Douglas, known to all of us here as "JD in Dallas" and later "JD in LI", was a daily fixture and regular commentor. He was a good-hearted, lovable man who, for quite some time, was buried in enemy territory. His devotion to the New York Giants never wavered as he took on Dallas Cowboys fans daily.
Earlier this year, James moved back to New York and was excited about the opportunity to attend Giants training camp in Albany, and looked forward to meeting up with some of his Giants 101 brothers. Instead, JD will be watching Giants games from the best seat in the house: on a cushy cloud next to the good Lord himself.
JD was involved in a single-car accident over the weekend and rushed to Robert Packer Hospital in critical condition. He passed away on Sunday. He was 41.
For those of you that had the luxury of talking to James on Giants 101 or away from Giants 101, you truly understand how devastating a loss this is. Not only to the Big Blue community, but to humanity and society as a whole. James was truly, in every sense of the phrase, a great human being. He had been battling his own adversity for the last couple of years and did so with a motivational smile on his face. He had the ability to light up a room and ease your mind with a simple word.
I had the opportunity to talk to James away Giants 101 on many, many occasions and can't even put into words how tremendous a human being he was. We shared many great conversations -not always about football- and I feel truly blessed to have known him. My heart absolutely breaks for his friends and family…
To say James will be missed is drastic understatement. To my Brother from another Mother, may you rest in eternal peace.

Sh*t… that really, really sucks…
His dispatches from behind enemy lines (when he still lived there) in which he would gleefully recount his razzing of the Dallas faithful were always great reads. I never knew the man beyond of the confines of this blog but his love for the Giants and joi de vivre continually came through in his posts.
My deepest sympathies go out to his family and loved ones.
Rest in peace, JD. You will be deeply missed around here.
This is just awful news. So sorry.
Damn. . . That’s terrible.
RIP JD; your contributions will always be remembered around here.
Jesus….
Since there doesn’t seem to be much of a set in stone system for this, I’ll fall back on my Catholic roots and use the same method they use when determining whether someone should be considered for sainthood–I publicly declare that James Douglas (JD in Dallas) ought to be inducted into the Giants 101 Hall of Fame.
Absolutely. 110%. And we’re going to open back up the Hall of Fame to ensure this happens.
And if there’s anything we can do for his family, like flowers or something, we should.
Oh my God.
Haven’t been around for a while. Just been busy, but saw this and wow. This is terrible news. RIP JD, you’ll be forever missed around here and all you brought to this site won’t be forgotten.
Terrible news, sorry to hear this!
I ain’t posted in a couple years. But damn. This is bad news. JD was my brother from another mother for a while on here.
I’m usually impervious to feelings, but I have some tears swelled up right now.
RIP Bro. You’ll always be My ****.
You wouldn’t be KD, wouldja?
What a nice tribute to a devoted fan and friend. My condolences to all of his family and friends at Giants 101.
