If you’re a New England Patriots fan and just can’t accept the fact that they got spanked by the Giants in the Super Bowl, you might want to consider relocating to Nicaragua. The NFL recently donated a lot of the pre-printed Patriots Super Bowl Champion hats and jerseys to less fortunate kids in the Central American nation. Now when those kids grow up and want to be football stars, their hearts will be broken when they realize that their inspiration was a fraud. I feel a war brewin’.
With the Super Bowl finally over and the New York Giants victorious, football fans are left to wonder, “What happened to the almighty Patriots and their shot at undefeated history?” It all went down exactly as I had expected (and hoped). With so much riding on the outcome of that game, how is anyone expected to be at their best? Even the best team in the league is still made up of human beings (yes, even Tom Brady is human), and human beings get frazzled.
In the end, I’m ecstatic that the Giants showed the Patriots what’s what. I’d much rather hear the story of the underdogs beating all the odds and naysayers for the next year than have to listen about Tom Brady and his team of bastards breaking the record.
The stage is set for the biggest game of the year for all of American sports and the two teams facing each other are probably not the most likely foes. Well, the Patriots were pretty much a shoo-in since week nine when they beat the Colts but who would have picked the Giants? The Giants have done something no other NFC team has done: win three road playoff games to get to the Super Bowl and ten straight road games for the year. (more…)
I hate to say it but I think the Patriots are going to do it. 16-0 may be one of those records that is up there with the all-time home run record. The talent level in the NFL is like none other and most people can’t comprehend how hard it is to play the sport; that includes me. What the Patriots are doing this year is pretty impressive, and that is coming from a guy that would love to see Tom Brady snap his ankle in two.
What makes it even better is that the Dolphins, the team that holds the current undefeated season record, could throw up a turkey themselves and go 0-16. So alert the nation, Don Shula may do something crazy in these upcoming weeks. He cherishes that record way to much.
