Patriots. 34-24.
They are playing the Giants, but the Dolphins of 1972 are the real opponent.
I never want to hear those guys gloat again. So, GGOOOO Pats.
Agree. Go back to selling nutri-systems, Shula.
The Patriots were great at mid-season but seem to be coming back to the pack. The Giants have been getting better, but I don’t think they’ve reached the Pats yet.
38-24, Pats.
Pats 31-Patsies 12
no one reading this is a giants fan, right?/?
Not me, but I am a fan of eternal pessimism at this point (go Cubs). And being an A’s fan, any Gnats team is out of the question (some of the ancestors were Brooklyn Dodgers fans).
There’s also a little bit of Red Sox fan in me that says rooting for the Patriots at this point is a little like rooting for the YankMees, but it’s only just a little and it’s not like the YankMees have won it all in the last 7 years.
Also, this is kind of a fun article about Tom Brady. They just re-printed a story they ran in December, 1999 right before one of the most exciting bowl games I’ve ever watched, where the Wolverines narrowly beat the Shaun Alexander led Crimson Tide.

hmmmm….
I was. I graduated in 2000.
The Democrats will score more points, but as a powder-saving measure they’ll let the Republicans carry home the trophy.
Oops, sorry. I got my threads confused.
Despite outscoring the Republicans, the Democrats claimed to require a supermajority of points instead of a simple majority and left the field in unnecessary defeat once again.
Poised to score the winning touhdown, the Democratic quarterback took a knee instead. At the postgame presser, he explained “We believe it will be more important to score those points in next year’s rematch.” David Broder immediately hailed this as an important act of bipartisanship.
In a related development, claiming unitary powers, the Commissioner cancelled all further Super Bowls and awarded the Rozelle Trophy permanently to the Republicans. David Broder immediately hailed this as an important act of bipartisanship.
Giants and a conservaturd loving Manning family member win it 72 – 9.
BTW, last night a rerun of the Bears beat down of the Patriots was on the tee-vee. Ahhh, da Bears and Ditka – back when I was younger than dirt. (Actually saw them get their butts handed to them that year at Soldier Field in a preseason game.) Jim McMahon was such a goof and Sweetness was so cool but the Fridge was in the end zone.
The other day…I have to figure out new ways to entertain my kids daily, so I told them a fairy tale with William “The Refrigerator” Perry as the main character.
Excellent! My kids were sitting there last night with my husband and I laughing at us because we kept talking about the Fridge. Then a shot of McMahon with his “PLUTO” headband popped up and more laughter ensued.
I am proud to have Jim McMahon (well, James McMahon, actually) as my middle names.
McMahon and his dopey headband were one of the main reasons why the NFL uniform fascists are so persnickity.
We go strolling down memory lane via YouTube and I have to say, it’s pretty hard explaining things to my 4 year old.
When I play music videos (Prince, Depeche Mode, Michael Jackson), it’s time for her to play Guess the Sex. And we get into some interesting discussions. We have a lot of transgender friends and she’s been aware of them transitioning. Still, she’ll call butch lesbians ‘he’. Still, Boy George throws her for a loop. It upsets her that he’s obviously a girl and chose the name Boy George. She said, “He should have changed his name to Girl Ella like Sara did. She was Jacob before, remember mama? Now she’s Sara. Boy George is trying to be magical.”
I have no idea what’s going on in her head. I do know that no matter how many times we watch Thriller (at least twice a day), Michael Jackson is “the girl in the red”. And she’s convinced that Prince is Michael Jackson’s little sister.
“Well I’m the Fridge, and I’m the rookie, I may be large but I’m no dumb cookie.” Well said.

And say that the Red Sox will win the Super Bowl with an assist from Ajay Gupta. The score will be (4 -3) (6-1) (5-2). The Goodyear Blimp will have coverage of the showdown at Staples Center.
I’ll tell you who the definite loser is: University of Phoenix Stadium
Ewe Gee Elle Why!
Looks like a giant bottle cap.
It’s hideous – inside and out. Apparently was supposed to resemble a giant barrel cactus, or something. It looks more like the movie set to a sequel for ‘Killer Klowns from Outer Space’
Patriots 34-10.
Match-ups don’t look good fer the New
JerseyYork Giants. Maybe if they would just admit where they play they mgiht win. Without that happening the Giants will always know , in the depths of their hearts, that their whole team is a cowardly sham composed of New Yorker Wannabes.patriots 31-13
pats 34-27
and lieberman’s a world class ass
obama’s mentor, if you need a reminder…l’ve off to the neighborhood bar cuz after today, l need a drink.

When is this “Super Bowl?”
I hear the commercials are really good.
Pitchers and catchers report in 20 days.
🙂
If I were nuetral I’d have to pick the Cheatriots by a field goal, but I’m as far from nuetral as a guy can be. So, I really believe the Giants defense and ground game will take just enough of a toll (and time off the clock) on the Pats to pull off an upset. There hasn’t been one game that the Giants were universally picked to lose that I didn’t really believe they could win and they’ve blown away the credibility of nearly all the so called experts. That, and they truly have something special and intangible working for them.
They will win this game.
Now, how to get Umenyora to keep his yap shut? He’s fucking with the karma.
