No one seems to have this thing figured out. The bets are all over the place. Do you care? Who is your favorite? Any bets? Not me. I'm staying out of this one. :D

I saw some surveys of what people were doing. Almost half said "nothing to do with any damned football game". Probably chicks. :D

I'd invite anyone to explain how the Patriots can be taken, especially by the Giants.

how did i know that this would happen. SPORTS ARE A FORM OF CORUPTION!!
sure, some like rugbee and football aren't bad, but the U.S's football causes enough gambling and such to be a form of corruption

says you! Both my husband and I are in football pools at work. He bought 4 $5 squares and I have 1 $10 square. My numbers are 7 (Pats) and 4 (Giants), his are 0 (Pats) and 7 (Giants).

Nice. I'm happy for Strahan. Only watched the fourth and it was pretty good.

About 100 million.

Last night over 200 million watched a regular season NBA game for the second time this year (Chinese viewers watching Yao vs. Yi :p).

NY won 17-14. I'm waiting for people to start blaming W. :rolleyes:

Yaaaaaaay!!! Giants won!! Thanks Bush!!! :yay:

That play where Manning shook the would-be sack surrounded by dudes tugging on his jersey and tossing it out to Tyree where he lept up and barely caught the ball, falling down with his arms still up in the air was the play of the night. They showed they wanted it with that last run with Manning and Tyree not giving up on that play.

This 18-1 season by the Patriots won't even be remembered in 20 years now. They needed that win! :(

i'm not blaming the bush i am blaming for one thing the refs the giants did not deserve to play in the superbowl

Some people think the outcome will effect the election--that the "Patriots" lost so the real "patriots" (Republicans) will lose the election. I don't know about all that...:shrug:

Yeah, that and Toomer's catch of that 35 yard pass several minutes before were two of the sporadic moments of glory amidst several hours of really ugly gameplay.

Plus, as sad as it is to say, the Pats were playing like shit all night and didn't really deserve to win.

...ok ;)

Let's see.

First they would neutralize Brady by blitzing and constantly applying pressure. Brady is a good quarterback only when he has a lot of time to set and throw. He is one of the slowest throwers in the NFL.

Next they would neutralize Moss and the other receivers through superior coverage downfield.

Third, they would get pissed at Randy Moss' hotdogging after his touchdown catch near the end of the fourth quarter.

Anything you want explained, Echo3Romeo?

No, that pretty much covers it.

do you always have to insult people

:confused: What are you mumbling about? If you want to discuss patriotism, I'm ready. Not here, though.

Where exactly are the New England Patriots from? Vermont? And same for the New York Giants? Is it the state of New York or the city

Massachusetts.

Massachusetts.

where is their stadium?

Some truisms overlooked by the 12 point spread:

"A pash rush late in the game is the key to professional football"

"Defense wins in the playoffs"

"The game is won on the line of scrimmage"

I won my bet. But I didn't actually bet the Giants to win, I just thought a 12 point spread facing that defense was ridiculous.

where is their stadium?
Foxborough. Gillette is the new one, opened in '02. The old one (Foxboro) is nearby.

Foxborough Mass?
Never heard of it. They must be very proud.

More like very depressed. My wife is a native Masshole, and the shame and disappointment is running strong. Maybe next year, I guess, but I don't know what they're going to do with Moss. He isn't necessarily coming back.
