Pat Hanlon doesn't take crap from anybody on Twitter. While most professional sports team spokesmen work hard to be as bland as possible, the Giants' vice president of communications unabashedly uses social media to cheer for Big Blue and lash out at critics.

We tried to get Hanlon to talk about his tweets, but the Giants PR chief declined out interview request.

"I'm glad there was some entertainment value there, that certainly was part of the intent," Hanlon said in an email to the Daily News. "But I really have no interest in discussing them any further."

Hanlon, described on the Giants' website as "irascible," hosts the "Reporters Roundtable" segment on WNBC-TV's "Giants Insider." He's also a regular on WFAN-AM's Giants' pregame show.

Here are the top 10 tweets from Hanlon, whose tag is @giantspathanlon:

10) Hanlon: The last proclamation out of Philly that meant anything was a Declaration in 1776.

9) @BarstoolScott: On paper they ARE worse. no matter who signs your checks.

Hanlon: We don't play on paper. You know what you can do w/ that paper?

8) @bbhkf78: All teams need to rebuild at one point, I'm not going to panic until the season begins.

Hanlon: Re-build my ass! I got your re-build.

7) @Ste"enMurray10: Can you say definitively the Giants are better than last year?

Hanlon: Can you say we're worse, knucklehead?

6) Hanlon: This is great. We usually get to play two regular season games before people tell us we aren't worth a s***.

5) Hanlon: The fantasy football gurus are king right now. Enjoy it while it lasts. Eventually you have to line up and actually play the game.

4) @AGruber73: because the giants are making barely any noise while the eagles are "the dream team."

Hanlon: A lot noisemakers end up in the ditch.

3) @moltisanti5: sorry pat no way u can put a positive spin on what went down with smith! n 29 years never been so disappointed.

Hanlon: Sleep it off.

2) @gmen8069: your job is to be a company man but how can Giants fans be excited when they did nothing

Hanlon: You like winning? Sit tight.

1) Hanlon: I'm angry about a lot of things, but I could give a s*** about the proclamations at end of the Turnpike.
