John Mara and Giants fans have at least one thing in common.

They’re both weary of his annual pleas for patience as the team rebuilds, the latest of which came on Wednesday at his season-capping press conference.

"I know it’s a tough ask," the co-owner of the franchise said. "I know they’re tired of hearing me say that."

He added that he is as well.

"I’m tired of sitting up here at the end of the year trying to explain what went wrong and why I feel optimistic about the future," he said.
