Giants

mind, it's going right into this post...

-New York football is riding high, as both the Jets and Giants have improved to 3-0. The Giants had a walk in the park against the laughable Tampa Bay Bucs, but the Jets had to work extremely hard for their victory against the desperate Tennessee Titans. Rex Ryan's boys (and my favorite team) certainly earned the win, but Tennessee's wide receiver drops had a little something to do with it. Kerry Collins' statistics were very misleading today; he actually played well.

The Patriots and our ego-maniacal leader expected to be competitive with the Giants, that their skill and intelligence would get them what they wanted, but they forgot that you have to go out there and take it. So what if Matt Light made the Pro Bowl, he played that game like he was entitled to stop the G-Men with that small honor and whatever skill set he wielded. That was NOT enough ... Asante Samuel held out in the pre-season, had a strong regular season, but showed nothing in the Super Bowl ... the ball HIT HIM IN THE HANDS!!!! That is a play that, once again, a Pro Bowl player NEEDS to make! I could go on forever with this!!

When I found out it was the Giants to be in the big game, for the first time all year I was very nervous about the team finishing the season perfect.    In 2001 the Patriots lost to the Super Bowl champion Rams in the regular season, but hung in there with them and saw it as a morale victory. Fast forward to 2007 and the

And yeah, I've seen the gracious Boston fans, tipping their hats to the New York Giants, giving credit where (admittedly) credit is due, and all those hallmarks of grace and cordiality. But then I remembered: I'm from Boston. It's not really our style. So, yeah, I'm bitter. I'm bitter that we had a chance to seize the title of Best Team of All Time, to grab Mercury Morris and Don Shula and the rest of the insufferable '72 Dolphins by the throat and tell them to Shut The Hell Up Forever, that we could have cemented a true football dynasty in an era where such a thing is supposed to be impossible. Now? 16-0 doesn't matter so much as 18-1, and any discussion of the Greatness of the '07 Patriots is followed with a "Yeah, but..." And

On one side we have a Giants team that is best suited to try and play ball control and keep Tom Brady and the vaunted Patriots' offense off the field. But football is unique in that days of gameplanning can be shot to hell almost instantly. The Patriots can win the coin toss, receive the opening kickoff and, if they execute as they have for the majority of this season, put the

The title (Patriots, 34 - Giants, 20) is not a prediction. It is the result of the remarkably life-like experience of playing a board/dice game known as Pizza Box Football, published by On the Line Game company out of California. Each year, at this time, the company offers owners of the game special gaming charts which tailor the game experience to the specific strengths and weaknesses of the two teams involved in the Super Bowl and ask that participants report their results on the company Web site ( www.pizzaboxfootball.com).

Sorry, Eli.  It looks like the Giants will come up one game shy this season, and after a nice run in the playoffs, I have to day that the Giants are the Patriot's 12th man!  Thank you

Was I watching “Jerry Maguire 2” Sunday night after the Giants/Cowboys game? T.O.’s tearful comments to the press came off as the emotional climax of a melodramatic Rod Tidwell scene. Where’s the T.O. we all know and love (except for the love part)? Why wasn’t he ripping Tony Romo for his previous week’s exploits or ripping Jason Garrett for limiting him in the second half? Where’s the negativity which reared its ugly head in Philadelphia and San Francisco? What’s with the teammate act he’s trying to pass off as genuine? Is it just another media ploy or is this the new Terrell Owens?

Even as recently as this past weekend prior to the Giants/Bucs kickoff, the FOX studio crew was pondering which Eli would show up? The Good Eli or the Bad Eli? And yet as recently as halftime during the same game, the same studio crew was praising Eli saying that we may be witnessing the coming of age of the young quarterback.
