Brady’s got a busted foot; Osi, Strahan, and Tuck will make sure that’s a dislocated foot. Randy Moss has legal issues; Welker’s not ready to do it on his own. The Giants have had the tougher road to the Playoffs: Tampa, Dallas, Green Bay, no really they have… Look for the G-Men to come out firing on all cylinders and to frustrate the Pats into DUMB penalties early (Rodney, Seymour, I’m looking at you)… Brady gets hurt in the second quarter and the Pats completely fall apart. The 72 Dolphins storm the field, canes, wheelchairs, and urine bags in all. The G-Men bring it home for NYC!!!!

Let’s just say it now, before Vegas beats us to the punch: it’s not going to be close. Sure, the Patriots have endured more close games in January than they did in all of 2007, but on the world’s biggest stage, wedged between our country’s most expensive 30-second film festival, they’re going to shine. The Giants, for all the success they’ve had, haven’t played a team of this quality in the playoffs yet, and they’re going to notice the difference when they take the field on Feb. 3, and the opposing quarterback doesn’t make rash decisions that would embarrass Britney Spears. They’re going to notice when their opponent doesn’t hand them three opportunities to win the game on a nicely frosted platter. And they’re going to notice the difference when they look at the opposing sideline and it’s Bill Belichick getting the Gatorade shower instead of Tom “Rosy Cheeks” Coughlin. We’re calling it: Pats win by 20. It might not be a shut-out, but as far as we’re concerned, it’s perfection all the same.
I’m a Giants fan.
I’m becoming an Eli Manning fan, or, at least, a Manning agnostic.
(I’m still not a Jeremy Shockey fan, but that’s neither here nor there.)
But really: The Giants versus the Pats? Lamb to slaughter. 40-0 whooping. Etc.
For once, the Pro Bowl may be worth watching, because it may be more interesting.
The New York Giants, written off as dead at the beginning of the season due to losses to both the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers, and who were beaten by a mere three points by the New England Patriots in the last game of their regular season, shocked the football world today by avenging that regular season loss with a thrilling upset of the unbeaten Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Jerry Rice. Ricky Sanders. Isaac Bruce. Lynn Swann. Rod Smith. Those are the only five players to shine on the Super Bowl stage with 150 yards receiving and a touchdown. Randy Moss will join them on Sunday.
Moss set the NFL record for receiving touchdowns in a season by hauling in his 22nd and 23rd scores against the Giants in week 17. There’s no one on New York’s roster that can handle Moss, and it’s doubtful that any scheme can even contain him. Now that the Patriots are playing in Arizona, that is. Read the rest of this entry »
The ‘07 Giants are playing like the ‘01 Pats. They are relying on excellent defense and special teams coupled with a careful offense.
