Official NY Giants Rock SuperBowl Bound thread

[tommy]

Good luck Joey Harrington of the Falcons, the Giants are gonna tear your ass up tonight. 

[tommy]

Now you guys have nothing to say about the Giants. Finally you can shut up about it?  ' s 

[saint]

Is that a sports team?

[shardian]

Unless they revert or Manning goes down, I think they'll win 10 games...then lose the opening playoff game of course.

[ChadTower]

They will revert.  Tom Coughlin teams always go on a losing streak in the second half.  He makes no adjustments and teams beat them easily the second time around.  Look at every Giants team he has had and most of the Jaguars teams for examples.

[Stingray]

I think a parallel could be drawn between the Giants and centrifugal force:

they're both fake forces

Many people here make a point to come into almost any thread i post in to rag on the Giants, believe me, they care. 


Surely after all the crap and how many times I've heard "Giants suck" you guys can put up with me now making a thread like this. If not, too bad. 
 

[saint]

Are we talking about tall, kind of stupid bipeds that throw boulders and carry clubs?

[ChadTower]

That does describe Michael Strahan pretty well.

[Samstag]

I thought we were talking about Barry Bonds.

The Giants suck...

It still makes me laugh.  So I still play it.

That's how Coughlin feels about Brandon Jacobs, BTW.

Hey, this is fun!

You can easily see the "I'm gonna get knocked up tonight!" gleam in her eye.  It's quite red.

Hehe, that would suck.
In all fairness though, he didn't have a prayer anyways. The LSU defensive line was already six steps into his 7 step drop.

[tommy]

      

[ChadTower]

No wonder the Giants keep sticking with Jacobs... he is Eli's boy.

EDIT:  okay, I can't stand Peyton, that that is .

[shardian]

EDIT:  okay, I can't stand Peyton, that that is .

Yeah, that is one of the funniest skits SNL has done in quite a long time. The only other skit even worth mentioning since Will Ferrel left is the blank in a box skit.

[tommy]

Don't hate on the Mannings, Peyton may be better than Eli but Eli is better than 75% of the QB's in the NFL.

[ChadTower]

Eli is only barely the best QB on his own team and is the third out of four in his own division.

Giants are red hot guys. Lets all celebrate.

What's that, 4 in a row?  5?  Pretty good.

[markrvp]

Lucky for the Giants they haven't had to play the Cowboys again yet.  Enjoy your win against Miami this week as it will be your last before the Cowboys come up to the Meadowlands with a healthy Anthony Henry, Terrance Newman, Greg Ellis, Tank Johnson, and Terry Glenn.

[ChadTower]

Terry Glenn is a ---smurfette---.

[tommy]

Terry Glenn is a ---smurfette---.

That's true. 

As for the Cowboys beating the Giants, that's not gonna happen. We almost beat them the first time and we were playing bad.

[markrvp]

Terry Glenn is a ---smurfette---.

That's true.

The Cowboys DID beat the Giants and our defense played awful.  Sorry you're number 2 - I'm sure the view sucks.

Cheers on the Cowboys' view - from your friends in New England.

As your WR Crayton says "we will see you in the playoffs if YOU make it there" 

[markrvp]

Just keep in mind the Giants aren't a historically strong second-half-of-the-season team.

[tommy]

6 Straight, baby.    Cowboys are next on our hit list. 

[shardian]

To the dear Cowboys and Giants fans...ahem, ahem.

DAH DAH DAH DA DA DAH

GO PACK GO!!!

 

[tommy]

The Packers are a decent team and may be able to beat the teams that are in the middle of the pack but when it comes right down to it they won't be able to beat anyone worth anything. If they do happen to make it to the playoffs they will surly be out when they meet a good team and have no chance.

Ok, I admit it. They can't beat a team that is worth anything. They can only beat mid-card posers just like you said...

Week 2: Green Bay 35, NY Giants 13

Very nice.  Giants have played two good teams and lost to both of them (Cowboys and Packers). 

[ChadTower]

The amusing part is that when they come into week 17 beaten up, fighting for that last wild card spot, and on their usual 2-3 second half run...

...they play the Patriots.

[CCM]

Wow, Tommy, the Giants really are a powerhouse this year!!!   

They actually beat a grand total of 1 team that has a winning record, Washington at 4-3.

The combined record of all the teams they beat:  11-33

The combined record of the teams they lost to:  12-2

[ChadTower]

Washington is a bigger house of cards than the Giants.  Look what happened when they played a real team this week.  Even the Pats' backups were crushing them.

[Crax]

The amusing part is that when they come into week 17 beaten up, fighting for that last wild card spot, and on their usual 2-3 second half run...

That may actually be lucky as the pats could have home field all wrapped up and sit guys, but Hopefully Bill still feels like beating the crap out of opponents and wants to go undefeated  . 

GO PATS!

History doesn't bear that out... Belichick doesn't sit his starters once the division is wrapped up.  He pulls them at halftime, mostly, or in the third quarter.  They should have the Giants well underfoot by then.

I guess you all will be silenced this week when the Giants kick the ever loving ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of the Cowbitches.

Be prepared to bend over Sunday.  Kind of like every other day.   

[tommy]

The Giants defense is too much for the boys to handle with romo and how he likes to throw interceptions. This time we will not let Witten run free and beat us like the last time.

31-21 Giants

[Zero_Hour]

I guess you all will be silenced this week when the Giants kick the ever loving ---Cleveland steamer--- out of the Cowbitches. 

Will the reverse hold true? 

[tommy]

If the Giants lose i will not be happy but i will be up for whatever you guys want to say. I can take it, but they will win. 

[ChadTower]

The only reason I'm not sure about this game is because the Giants have yet to get their Belichick/Brady atomic wedgies.  It's hard to judge at this point which team is more inferior to the Pats.

I suppose it's better that way... when the Giants come limping into week 17 at 8-7 fighting for a wild card spot, it will be fun to watch them get the college common area beanbag treatment.

[shardian]

Giants are a combined 8-24 over the last 4 years in the final 8 games of the season. Me thinks they'll "improve" to 4-4 in the back 8 and lose in the first round of the playoffs.

[ChadTower]

They've already started their slide.  Look how much trouble they had with the Dolphins.  Beating them by anything less than two TDs right now is technically a win but it's a moral loss.

Hey, those dolphins are poised to start a winning streak. I mean, with a guy named Cleo Lemon as the QB, how can you go wrong?

[ChadTower]

Even Marino couldn't save this Dolphins team.

[HaRuMaN]

Even Marino couldn't save this Dolphins team.

Maybe Ace Ventura could... 

[ChadTower]

He would at least make them entertaining.

Maybe they should hire Kathy Ireland to placekick.

Poor stupid Tommy.

                        

                        

                        


Cowboys 31     Giants 20

                        
 
                       

                       


And the Giants were even at home and wearing their "scary" red jerseys, so Tony Romo could "see the rush coming."



                        

                        

                        

[tommy]

At least i had the score right, it was just the other way around. And i was right about Witten not getting much, but oh well. 

The Giants defense is too much for the boys to handle with romo and how he likes to throw interceptions. This time we will not let Witten run free and beat us like the last time.

31-21 Giants

[ChadTower]

Their second half fold-job is well underway... they tried to give the last game away but the Dolphins are too stupid to take it.

[tommy]

We had a few holding calls that might not have been right that might have taken 2 touchdowns away from us but...

Good game Cowboys. 

[koolmoecraig]

Wanna go $20 on Bears/Giants this Sunday?

[shardian]

The Giants face a very real possibility of not winning another game.

[ChadTower]

The Giants face a very real possibility of not winning another game.

Ever.

[koolmoecraig]

I'm serious though. Any takers on the $20 bet? Tommy?

Wow....considering who the G-Men's QB is, you might not want to bring up throwing interceptions.....

BTW....the Giants looked AWESOME against the Vikes.

[tommy]

Man, skin of your teeth.

Way to support your team. Silent about the bet until the game is over.

Giants are in, woo hoo!!

Now should we beat the pats and ruin the perfect season?

[btp2k2]

I cannot wait for the Giants to roll into Qwest Field for the first round and get absolutely KILLED.

The Giants are going to Tampa.  Seattle is getting either Washington or Minnesotra, IIRC.

[boykster]

yeah, seattle gets either washington, minnesota or NO EDIT: looks like they get the Redskins. When they win  they go to Green Bay to face the Packers......

[tommy]

Good luck Giants tonight. 

[boykster]

Gotta give them credit, they played the Pats tough...but still lost

[tommy]

The Giants played great but too bad they couldn't come out with it. The Giants playing all their starters and getting Manning and Burress on track was much better than any resting they could have done, now they are ready for the playoffs.

[shardian]

I'm very suspicious one of the Giants defenders was bought off or 'persuaded'.

Patriots throw a deep ball, and the Giants guy falls down for no reason.

VERY NEXT PLAY is the SAME play and this time the same guy starts jogging to a stop more than 10 yards away from the end zone.  Could have easily made that tackle.  With the way the Patriots had been playing at that time, they probably would have been held to a field goal.

And what was with that clock management?  Burned off 3 minutes to purposely have to rely on an onside kick?

Hey this is the Giants we are talking about. THey don't need bribes to blow games.

[tommy]

I'm tired of hearing all these 72 Dolphins negative comments about the Pats. They keep showing clips of old Dolphins saying, "it means nothing what they did so far" or "they still are not better than we were".

Give it a rest already old time Dolphins, act like men not a bunch of mean pissed players who can't stand to see their old records go down. And while we are at it lets stop even showing those old ---smurfs--- on TV and quoting them.

The Pats have a longer season than the Fins had and number of games that they won, I think they are better already without winning a Super bowl.

[shardian]

To be fair, NY's defensive line played awesome. Eli played well...for almost three quarters.

I can  just imagine Belicheks half-time speech: "hang in there guys, Eli will hand us the game sooner or later.

[ChadTower]

You could definitely tell with like 4 minutes left that Eli had already packed it in.  He ran that last drive like it didn't matter after he threw his usual Eli fourth quarter INT.  They played really well up until that point... I'm not liking that for next week.

[tommy]

Our other TE Boss really picked up the slack of Shockey not being there, I'm impressed.

[ChadTower]

That's probably more of an indictment of how overrated Shockey is than how good Boss is...

[tommy]

They played really well up until that point... I'm not liking that for next week.

One week of rest will not mean anything.

I think having a good showing against a good team will mean a whole lot more.

Whoever said this in another thread must have been some kind of NFL Expert or something. 

You wouldn't be worried about the Giants had they rested.

[mr.Curmudgeon]

Good luck Giants tonight. 

NY Giants suck!   

[ChadTower]

Whoever said this in another thread must have been some kind of NFL Expert or something. 

You wouldn't be worried about the Giants had they rested.

I'm sure those starters the Giants lost won't hurt at all. 

The Giants lost center Shaun O'Hara, backup safety Craig Dahl and linebacker Kawika Mitchell, all with knee injuries, and cornerback Sam Madison with an abdominal strain.

O'Hara is a huge loss if he's out next week.  So is Madison.  Did you happen to notice who that guy was flopping on the turf trying to keep up with Moss?  That is Madison's spot, yes?

Joey Galloway is faster than Randy Moss.

The Giants played well, but they lost, and it cost them in injuries.  That is exactly what I said they couldn't afford.

[tommy]

It's not a good thing that they lost those guys, but without Manning and Plex playing well it does not matter who else is in there, we would have just lost anyway in the next round due to lack of confidence.

I still think we are better off for putting up a good fight and all the players now feel like they can do something more in the playoffs because of it.

[ChadTower]

Scary story - Pats just coming back, middle of the fourth quarter... my living room Tivo crashes and comes back with a CANNOT BOOT KERNEL error.

Thank ---smurfing--- god I have a second Tivo and was smart enough to tell that one to record it too.

[Jdurg]

I'm tired of hearing all these 72 Dolphins negative comments about the Pats. They keep showing clips of old Dolphins saying, "it means nothing what they did so far" or "they still are not better than we were".

Give it a rest already old time Dolphins, act like men not a bunch of mean pissed players who can't stand to see their old records go down. And while we are at it lets stop even showing those old ---smurfs--- on TV and quoting them.

The Pats have a longer season than the Fins had and number of games that they won, I think they are better already without winning a Super bowl.

Because it's true.  In order for a team to truly be undefeated, they have to win it all.  The 16-0 record is meaningless if they lose a game when it counts.  How can a team be 'better' if they don't win the important games?  If they go undefeated in the regular season and then lose in the playoffs, all it says is that the Patriots were good enough to win if the game didn't mean anything, but if the game was important they simply weren't good.

The '72 Dolphins team not only won every game when it didn't really matter, but they won every game when it did matter.  They proved that nobody could defeat them that year and that no circumstance was too much to overcome.  Until the 2007 Patriots do the same thing and win every game they play this year, they can't be compared.

Has what they've done been impressive?  Oh hell yeah!  It's been amazing.  But to compare them to the '72 Dolphins at this point in time is laughable.  The '72 Dolphins were Superbowl champions.  The 2007 Patriots have yet to do that.

[ChadTower]

The '72 Dolphins had the easiest schedule of any super bowl winner.  Ever.  By a good margin, too.

[tommy]

The Fins only won 14 season games, the Pats won 16, if nothing else the regular season record should be beat already.

A perfect "Season" is games during the season to me, not the playoffs. After that you could add on to the numbers but the season is still perfect past the Fins.

[Jdurg]

And the Patriots are playing against a diluted field of talent.

Are you telling me that a team that doesn't have the ability to win in the clutch and win when it counts is better than a team that can actually win when everything is on the line?  So far, the Pats have NOT proven that they can win the big game this year.  NONE of their games have meant ANYTHING to them since their division is one of the weakest divisions in the history of the NFL.  From the first kickoff of the season it was apparent that they were going to win the division. 

I'm just stating that the 16-0 season is a good accomplishment, but it's completely meaningless if they can't win the Superbowl.  The season includes the playoffs, so thus far they have a perfect "Regular" season, but they don't have a perfect season quite yet.

And saying anything about the number of games they won is a joke.  What matters is the winning percentage.  The '72 Dolphins had no way to win 16 games since their season was only 14 games long.  In addition, the '72 Dolphins didn't have the trainers or rehab facilities, or equipment that the modern players have which makes the wear and tear of the season less severe.  (Hence why the modern schedule is 16 games long).

Also, you can't compare directly the two teams since the Pats had their perfect regular season against a diluted field of talent with more teams in the NFL.  The talent, you can argue, was much more concentrated for the '72 Dolphins since there were less teams out there.

Seriously, the Pats had a great regular season but so far they can't even hold a candle to the '72 Dolphins who are Superbowl Champions.

[markrvp]

While I agree that the overall talent level is diluted in the league, I still believe that today's players are bigger, stronger, and faster than those in 72.  I don't think the older teams could compete with today's players.

[tommy]

There were hardly any real athletes playing back then. Not like today where almost every player trains and plays their position really well.

Back then there were just a bunch of guys like you and me playing football.

[ChadTower]

Back then there were just a bunch of guys like you and me playing football.

 

I tell you what... you go up to Ray Nitschke or Dick Butkus and express that opinion.  Even at their current age they'll destroy you, your dog, and your extended family.

Seriously.  Being dead won't stop Nitschke from making you into tommy soup.

[ChadTower]

You're in no position to say what I'm capable of.

Any man who claims he could stand toe to toe with Dick Butkus, even the old Butkus, is very very very likely a liar.

[tommy]

You take a guy like Shawn Merriman and try to match him up to Butkus at their primes there is no comparison. Shawn will run circles around him and will bowl him over.

[ChadTower]

X  What you said is:

Neither you nor me nor anyone on this board could have played in the NFL back then either.

[tommy]

I could have played back then. I run about 6'0, 230LBS.

Edit. I also have a heart of steel.

[ChadTower]

It's not about how big you are.  Many NFL players are smaller than average men even now.  It's about how fast you are at a given size.  Always was, always will be.  Unless you run a 4.8 40 you weren't playing even then... and you wouldn't be good enough to sell peanuts now.  Those are the 4.8 40 guys these days.

[Jdurg]

I'm in great physical shape (after going to a gym for the past 10 months and forcing myself from being a lazy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- into being an active individual), and I'm nowhere CLOSE to what even a 1920's NFL player was.  I'm just happy to be in shape.  I was in HORRIFIC shape before I started going to the gym.  At work, we have a gym and I spend an hour there every day.  It's killed me not being able to go into the gym this past week while on vacation.

When I started going there back in early February of 2007, I could do four push-ups before my arms gave out and I had to stop.  In September, I did 26 before my arms couldn't do any more.  (No time limit.  Just how many you could do before giving up).  Also, I started with a weight of 175 pounds a % body fat of 32.7%!!!!     In September, my weight was only down to 165 pounds, but my % body fat was down to 22.4%!  I dropped a LOT of fat and put on a LOT of muscle.  My arms now look damned good, and I can go without wearing a shirt and not feel embarassed.  In fact, I shocked the living hell out of some friends of mine when we did a push-up contest to see who could do the most in a five-minute time-span.  I won easily and everybody figured I'd be the first one out.  I took my shirt off and everybody was stunned that I was muscular. 

Just a bit of working out and trying to keep my muscles in shape has done wonders.  Still, any NFL player regardless of the year could beat the living crap out of me physical wise.

[hypernova]

I loved the quote I heard one fin said.  He claimed that their team was on the "inside pole" because they were the first to do it.

16-0
14-0

Hmm...which is better?

So far, the Pats have NOT proven that they can win the big game this year.

They have in the last few years.  Not the same, I agree, but it generally refutes your statement.

their division is one of the weakest divisions in the history of the NFL.

Division, maybe.  Conference?  No.  In fact, they played the toughest NFC division.
Notable games:
SD 14 @ NE 38
CLE 17 @ NE 34
NE 48 @ DAL 27
WAS 7 @ NE 52
NE 24 @ IND 20
PHI 28 @ NE 31
NE 27 @ BAL 24
PIT 13 @ NE 34
NE 38 @ NYG 35

6 of those are playoff teams.  (almost 7 due to Cleveland's tiebreaker circumstance.)  4 of those 6 are division champs.

From the first kickoff of the season it was apparent that they were going to win the division

You could apply that to San Diego without question, and some other teams as well, but they would be a bit more disputed.

Seriously, the Pats had a great regular season but so far they can't even hold a candle to the '72 Dolphins who are Superbowl Champions.

Umm...I'm pretty sure they can hold a candle.  That's what they're doing right now.  They've got the flamethrower for lighting it too.

I do hope they win the Super Bowl.  That will put an end* to the discussion.  Being such a dominant team, I think they deserve it.  If they don't do it now, someone will do it in the future, at some point in time.

*You'll still have Miami fans and former Miami players saying they're equal, but the 19-0 vs 17-0 will be an undeniable fact.

[hypernova]

Just found this, to articulate on Drew's comment earlier about Miami's schedule.

The way New England went about perfection was far more impressive than the 1972 Dolphins perfect season.  First and foremost, their predecessor’s opponents pieced together a 70-108-4 combined record, and they faced only two teams with a winning record.  On the other hand, the Patriots opponents went 94-89, and they faced six teams that finished with a winning record.

edit:  how did this guy come up with an odd number for the Pat's opponents' record?

[CheffoJeffo]

Even at their current age they'll destroy you, your dog, and your extended family.

I guess that Tommy has been right all this time ... pitbulls aren't the deadly menace that the media makes them out to be ... Dick Butkus is!

[ChadTower]

The way I see it, 19-0 is a fantastic achievment... from a team that has already had 18 and 21 game winning streaks.

This isn't a first, it's a third, just for the Patriots.

[tommy]

Mercury Morris is a pathetic little ---smurfette--- who is afraid his team record will be beaten (if it is not beat already) and cannot even say what the Pats have done so far is a great job. He is a loser.

[ChadTower]

I just noticed something... the Giants have beaten only one team with a winning record this year.

[tommy]

I just noticed something... the Giants have beaten only one team with a winning record this year.

They beat a few more teams that had winning records at the time they played but the teams ended up bombing.

[tommy]

What a horrible team those Bucs are. 

    

[ChadTower]

Garcia didn't play very well, that's for sure.  The Bucs beat themselves more than the Giants beat them, but a win is a win, and the Giants go to Dallas next week. 

[tommy]

I think the Giants defense had something to do with Garcia not playing well.  Better luck next time.   

Oh and by the way, resting players is not a good idea, momentum is key.

[ChadTower]

Yeah, all those first round byes are a total disadvantage.   

[markrvp]

Congrats Giants... you just earned a trip to your 3rd beatdown by the Dallas Cowboys this season!

[markrvp]

Congrats to the NY Giants and fans for their victory over the Cowboys.  My beloved Cowboys rolled over and played dead.  I think we're cursed.

[billf]

Just saw on ESPN that they have lost 6 straight playoff games.  Ouch.

yep, and I think this loss will extend to 12 years how long its been since they've won any sort of playoff game...

 

[ChadTower]

I was looking forward to seeing both Mannings get whacked in the same day.     Romo really tends to fold in the playoffs... some of those plays from him in the second half were atrocious.

At least this ends the possible "Manning v. Manning" Super Bowl for another year.  I don't think I could take the media hype for that one.

That would be two weeks of hell.  Did you see the Manning and Manning Oreo commercial?   

However, I do like the Peyton Pep Talks commercials.

[shardian]

I saw this commercial during the Colts game, and felt the urge to run to a bookie immediately.

Seriously though, that Giants D-line has me a bit worried about next weekend. I'm starting to get that buzzy superbowl feeling already now that the Pack gets the NFC Championship at home.

Pack Vs. Patriots Oh yeah baby!!

The Last Gunslinger Vs. The undefeated Juggernaut

[billf]

I heard the early line on NFC Championship is Pack by 7.

[shardian]

I heard the early line on NFC Championship is Pack by 7.

Don't worry, the NFL will fix it so that Favre gets a win on his way out, just like they did for Elway.

So I wasn't the only one with a strange feeling about the Packers Broncos Superbowl huh?

[hypernova]

So what was Romo doing the two weeks preceding the game?  The commentators seemed to make a decent sized stink about it.

[tommy]

Giants roll on just as expected.

I had all my popcorn ready and all I saw was TO cry about not winning. He could say it was about loving Romo but he was all ready to burst out crying because the Giants kicked his teams ass way before anyone mentioned Romo.

[tommy]

I just noticed something... the Giants have beaten only one team with a winning record this year.

You forgot 2, the Bucs and the Cowboys? 

[tommy]

Just keep in mind the Giants aren't a historically strong second-half-of-the-season team.

 

[tommy]

The Cowboys DID beat the Giants and our defense played awful.  Sorry you're number 2 - I'm sure the view sucks.

 

[tommy]

Lucky for the Giants they haven't had to play the Cowboys again yet.  Enjoy your win against Miami this week as it will be your last before the Cowboys come up to the Meadowlands with a healthy Anthony Henry, Terrance Newman, Greg Ellis, Tank Johnson, and Terry Glenn.

 

 

[CheffoJeffo]

Looks like tommy finally backed a winner. 

Savour the flavour because pretty soon you'll be back pushing pitbulls and glassware. 

[tommy]

I only back winners. The idea is to know the difference without someone having to tell you. 

[ChadTower]

He'd better get to the free clinic.

[boykster]

He'd better get to the free clinic.

too late!   

[tommy]

Todays the day the Pack go down.   

[Jdurg]

I have to say, the AFC Championship game was quite entertaining, and the NFC Championship game has been very entertaining so far.  Shocking!

[squirrellydw]

Go greenbay or giants, just beat the pats

[NIVO]

WOOT for the hook, Fagles is lookin good for overtime 

[Cakemeister]

It's official, the Giants do rock!

Congrats for being the Patriots' final victim!

[tommy]

How do you like that suckers. How do you like Eli leading the Giants for the win. How do you like the Giants going to the SUPERBOWL?

This is just great!!.           

[NIVO]

geez tommy, did you break your neck runnin to the computer to post?  I said feagles was lookin good for overtime didnt i?

[tommy]

I think the guy next door called the cops on me for yelling too loud. 

[koolmoecraig]

How do you like that suckers. How do you like Eli leading the Giants for the win. How do you like the Giants going to the SUPERBOWL?

This is just great!!.           

Haha. Seriously.

Do you watch the game with BYOAC open on your laptop?

Nobody in real life to celebrate with?

[tommy]

It's official, the Giants do rock!

Congrats for being the Patriots' final victim!

You will pay for that comment.

[Jdurg]

It's official, the Giants do rock!

Congrats for being the Patriots' final victim!

Here Here!!!  And because the playoff games count in your overall record for the season, if the Pats lose at the Superbowl they will NOT have had an undefeated season.  (If you want to argue this, then how come the teams' records are updated with wins and losses after each playoff game?)

Oh, I have plenty to celebrate with, it means much more to post in your face. My people knew what was going to happen.

Just be happy I chose to share this with you.

[markrvp]

The Giants could win the Superbowl, end world hunger, bring peace to the middle east, discover a renewable source of energy, and Tommy would still be a ---meecrob---.

[hypernova]

Man, that game was a contest of who wanted it least.

And the answer was:  The Packers.

Brett throws INT.  McQuarters immediately fumbles the ball back to GB.
McQuarters returns a punt to around the GB 30, then fumbles again.
Tynes misses twice.
Favre throws another INT.
Tynes finally makes it.

These among numerous other miscues by both sides.

Here Here!!!  And because the playoff games count in your overall record for the season, if the Pats lose at the Superbowl they will NOT have had an undefeated season.  (If you want to argue this, then how come the teams' records are updated with wins and losses after each playoff game?)  

All the more reason to root for the Pats to assert their place as the best football team in history...to dispatch any and all doubt.  Stand aside, '72 Dolphins.

[tommy]

Aw. Is the poor Cowboys fan all upset his team was beat by the Giants. 

[tommy]

For those of you who thought the last game of the season against the Pats meant nothing to the Giants, and that going all out and NOT resting didn't mean anything to us playing well in the future.... we are where we are because of that game. It propelled us to have confidence and play well from that point on. As I said it would.

No doubt.

With two weeks to prepare, we will see what happens.

[koolmoecraig]

I'm in for $100 Tommy. Wanna?

[ChadTower]

Man, that game was a contest of who wanted it least.

I had been trying to figure out a way to describe that game accurately... this is better than anything I came up with.  Eventually time ran out and whoever made the last mistake was going to lose.

Congrats Giants.  Better play a hell of a lot better than that in Arizona.

[shardian]

Damn....that sucks!

Ah well, I am a man of my word so....

GO GIANTS!!!!

[Jdurg]

Well you do have to admit that the Giants played the Patriots VERY well in the game they played at the end of the season.  If I were the Pats, I would NOT underestimate the Giants at this point.

[koolmoecraig]

The Giants haven't won a Super Bowl in like 16 years and you won't throw $100 behind them?

Come on man, you believe don't you?

Even I lost $300 betting on the Bears last Super Bowl.  Where is the faith?

[shardian]

Even I lost $300 betting on the Bears last Super Bowl.  Where is the faith?

Wow....you must have quit watching Bears football after week 8 huh?
 

[koolmoecraig]

Well I had heard a rumor that Hester was going to be playing QB as well.

[ChadTower]

Well I had heard a rumor that Hester was going to be playing QB as well.

From the guy with whom you made the bet? 

[koolmoecraig]

But seriously Tommy. You have to put your money where your mouth is.

My heart wants New England to lose just because of the fact that it will cement the '85 Bears as the best team ever .  Unfortunately, out of all the games to lose this year I really doubt that this is going to be the one.

So come on. $100.  Paid via paypal.  If that is too rich let's go $20. Surely you will bet $20 friggin' dollars to back your team right?  Don't be the guy that hides in the fox hole during battle and then runs around screaming "I told you so!" after the victory.

This is your chance to show how much you really think the Giants rock. Officially.

[ChadTower]

This pic was taken of Tom Brady yesterday.   

[Samstag]

He's still about 45% human.  Since he had two weeks between games they decided to go ahead and put the left bionic foot on now rather than wait for the off-season.

[tommy]

Someone tell that kool guy to quit nagging the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out me. I don't have pay pal and I don't want to bet with you. You or you bets do not interest me. I do not need to make a bet with you to prove anything, now beat it kid.

[ChadTower]

I do not need to make a bet with you to prove anything, now beat it kid.

So, have you learned from me, or are you simply mimicking what I said to you when you were taunting me to bet earlier in the season?   

[tommy]

I really do not need to bet to prove anything. If I did want to make a bet with someone It would not be kool and I would not get any satisfaction out of it.

I still believe betting is fine to show your confidence, but I am also done with online transactions.

[Cakemeister]

The spread on this game is something like 12 points. Koolmoe, are you confident enough in the Patriots that will cover that? I'm not. They certainly didn't cover against the Chargers or against the Giants the first time around.

[ChadTower]

The spread will change when more people get wind of Tom Brady in a walking cast...

[shardian]

The spread on this game is something like 12 points. Koolmoe, are you confident enough in the Patriots that will cover that? I'm not. They certainly didn't cover against the Chargers or against the Giants the first time around.

Spreads on Pats games are bloated anyways because bookies got sick of loosing their ass thru the first 10 games of the season.

[koolmoecraig]

tommy - "The Giants are going to win the Super Bowl but I wouldn't bet on it".

[tommy]

You just don't get it do you. I really don't want to spell it out for you and hurt your feelings. 

[Jouster]

Why change your M.O. now?

Jouster

[shardian]

I really do not need to bet to prove anything.

Hypocrisy, we hardly knew thee...

[tommy]

Lets not go down this road guys. I told the guy I don't want to bet now we can leave it at that.

[mccoy178]

I'll take the Giants and 12.5 for $20.  I hate the Giants, but I think they can cover if they only play a half.

[markrvp]

You just don't get it do you. I really don't want to spell it out for you and hurt your feelings. 

Why would it hurt KoolMoe's feelings that you are either poor or too big of a ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?--- to put your money where your mouth is? 

[tommy]

Are you going to cry like TO if I don't bet? Cowboys loser. 

[markrvp]

I'm tired of picking on Tommy.  It's like making fun of retarded people.

[tommy]

What a wasted season the Cowboys had this year.
