When I have no vested interest in either team, I pick the underdog as well. It just seems like the right thing to do. This year, I do have an interest as I am a Patriots fan. This is not, however, stopping my inner dialogue from mulling things over. To me, the Patriots have had a so-so season. The defense hasnt always been reliable. The number of new faces in and out of the front line was impressive. Tom Brady hasnt always been as sharp as I would like to see. And, I have seen him more flustered this year than ever before. The offense has varied as well. Some games they made it look easy, some hard, some impossible, some grateful to have the win courtesy of the other guys mistakes. The Belichick/Brady magic and mystique isnt quite what it used to be. A few teams seem to have out coached us this year, using Belichick like stuff in the process. Still my guys. Still hope they do well. Grateful they have gotten this far. But, still realistic. The Giants have had an awesome second half. Their defense has stepped up when it counted the most. Their guys are huge and fast and tough. Eli, given enough time, can throw with the best of them. Their offensive can be explosive. They made minced meat out of the Packers, in the playoffs. The Giants, to me, are a team on a mission this year. And they did it quietly but steadily to get to this point. Their coach, to me, is a formidable opponent with many Belichickesque techniques used, especially when playing the Patriots. I think it is going to be a tough game. I hope the Patriots win but it wont surprise me if they dont. |

But maybe you are right about Belichick, his super powers may be waning. But maybe not. Anyway as far as the super bowl goes I, of course, want the Pats to win. This is the team who took the Pats perfect season and rendered it meaningless. This is the first year since that super bowl defeat that the Pats have actually won a play-off game. It would be awesome to kick some Giant ass. Yet, I actually like the Giants. Years and years and years ago before New England had a team, most people rooted for the Giants. They were my father's favorite team (until the Pats of course). So I do have a soft spot for them, although not that soft any more. They weren't my team. The Pats are my team. I like Eli. He annoyed me when he stepped around the draft like he was special. I held the same thing against John Elway. But then I can understand, considering what his father went through in New Orleans, why he stated he would refuse to play for San Diego if they drafted him as the overall first round pick in the 2004 draft. Yet I just don't care for it when someone gets special treatment. Anyway, I don't doubt that the Pats can beat the Giants. Will they? Who knows. That's why they play the game. But the Giant pass defense is no great shakes (29th I think) so it is likely to be an offensive game. And when it is about the offense, my money will always be on Tom Brady.

Thank you, Hollylane. Both teams had some great players this year. It will be good to see the Ravens take the field again.

No real vested interest in either team in the Superbowl, however, with that said, I do like the NFC more than the AFC, so I'm going to pull for the Giants. Looking forward to the game next weekend! Having fun watching the Pro Bowl.

That was a fun game to watch. There were a couple of rounds of keep away that made me laugh. I'm glad I watched the highest scoring game in Pro Bowl history...(according to the announcers)...
59/41 AFC! |

I will not be watching AbFab this weekend, but I do love me some Eddie & Pats! Here's a little gem before we return to football talk: Eddie: Where's my thing? You know, my thing... my vibrating thing... Patsy: Right by your bedside drawer, darling. Eddie: Not THAT, not THAT!... My beeper, my beeper! Patsy: Oh. [fishes inside her skirt] Patsy: Here. Eddie: [disgusted] Keep it. I don't want it now. Don't WANT it now. Go Giants! <---This feels strange and kind of dirty...Sorry Hines & Troy! |
