Early thoughts on the Super Bowl...

Alright, so we've got the Giants-Patriots in the Super Bowl.

At least Tom Petty may give us a little Runnin' Down a Dream during the Halftime Show.

Seriously, the next two weeks are going to be nothing but unbeaten season discussion, Eli Manning and his retarded southern drawl, the Randy Moss protective order hearing the week of the Super Bowl, New York vs. Boston/Yankees v. Red Sox parallels and clips on Sportscenter of the teams' Week 17 game. And how many questions is Lawrence Tynes going to have to face about getting over his misses in the Championship Game despite the fact that he won the whole thing?

We know at least the game may be good, if Week 17 was any indication. Without involving the Dallas Cowboys, I'm not sure I could dream up a Super Bowl involving two teams who are both bigger media whores.

But hey, props to the G-men for winning three on the road and making the Super Bowl. That seems to be the trend these days for a wild card or at least at team who has had to play and win three games to come out of one of the conferences and make it.

They should just play the Super Bowl in New Haven or Pawtucket. It'd be more convenient.



Happy 800 posts.

You forgot to mention the NFL Network reairing Game 17 a few to many times.

But no one gets the NFL network, so that doesn't matter.

I can't believe how many more picks Tom Brady has thrown this postseason than Eli Manning.

This game is not a given. Tom Terrific will have to work for it.

With two weeks to think about it, Eli will remember that he sucks as a QB.

Hey, it's a warm away game. I give Eli a punchers chance of covering the spread.

If I were Bill Simmons, I would be cranking out a 2000-worder on Jeremy Shockley and the Ewing Theory today.

As for Tynes, the pre-game show talked about how difficult it is to kick a ball in sub-zero temperatures. The footing looked okay, but apparently the ball is as hard as a rock.

Plus there was the bad snap. I can't remember if that benefited or killed the Giants in that T.O. Wild Card game against the Niners.
