It was a great game. What can I say, the Giants played a good game. Small breaks just didn't break for the Pats. 3 fumbles, one negated by the 12 men on the field, two bounce to the Giants. Mankins got used as a turnstile on a couple of plays, and of course Welker not coming up with that grab. But hey, without Welker we're not even in the big game. The defense played well in my opinion, especially with the way they've been portrayed, and with any luck the secondary will continue to gel (I have to say, I like Moore at corner, then McCourty to continue learning the safety position and Chung at SS). A lot of draft picks coming up and another year of Gronk, Hernandez, Welker (hopefully) and co. It was a fun ride. Looking forward to next year.
I must concede, sir, you were indeed right. I think that was the first time I've actually seen Madonna on TV since the early nineties and realized it was a hopeless battle from the start. She had a nice body back in the day, the type I thought would age well, but I guess not. I went out to get dinner during halftime instead. But it's all good, because the Giants won. I was rooting against the Patriots for the sole reason that I'm a Simmons/Grantland reader, and his articles are much more entertaining when he's bitter and angry about his teams' failures than when he's crowing about their victories.
1. The Madonna Halftime Show wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. You all thought the same thing. My secondary thought was "Oh, now Lady Gaga has a lot more material to steal from now." 2. The Patriots need 1 more guy to pass rush and still need a number 1 WR. Wes Welker is a Godlike number 2, but only a damn good number 1. Tom still has it, but he needs faster taller guys that can win jump balls and don't have to be 100% open. 3. BenJarvus Green-Ellis worked his ass off this game. That's promising for next year. 4. Tom Coughlin did not outcoach the Patriots in any sense of the word. The players played hard. Not one coach really schemed anything that beat the other coach. If you think that did, you're an idiot. Nicks was open like a 7/11. 5. Needless to say I won't be watching ESPN for about a month. 6. D26, Trakiel, Ballsack I kindly and respectfully wish for you all go to fuck yourselves on the Washington Monument, sans lube, extra sandpaper. Good day to you all.
I'm not sure they need a "Number 1" per se, but they need a legitimate deep threat. Even a second tier one like a Torrey Smith would do the offense wonders. Also Gisele can fuck off. She just made life incredibly difficult for her husband, his receivers, and the coaches.
I agree, I wish I could fuck Gisele also. Look, she made a wife comment. You love your husband, that is some shit an angry wife will say since she's going to become a secret scapegoat anyway. Patriots haven't won a Super Bowl in the Buncheon era. All of them came in the Moynahan era. That cannot go unnoticed.
At least he had the class to shave off that cheesy 70's pornostache after the game. Not so cute when you cost your team the Superbowl.
The only problem with that is: 1 - she's right 2 - she makes more money than Tom and all the WR combined.
So what? they're the kind of things you don't even say publicly if you ARE Tom Brady, let alone someone who is merely sucking his dick. Fucking with his job like that should be a cockslappable offense.
Oh, it definitely falls into the Jimmy the Greek category. Right but shouldn't be said in public. And of course Brady can't say it. Just like LeBron couldn't say his dunk was better than Griffin's. (Which is was). Welker and Gronk and Hernandez should show up drunk to one of her fashion shows and start heckling her and the other models. "You call those calves? They look more like cows. MMMooooooooo......."
You're right, buddy. You don't, and probably shouldn't. That man's lucky he's good at football, because he doesn't seem very bright.
I went to SIU and I'm friends with guys on the team that played with him. They all agree. Dumb as shit.
I find it pathetic that so many people (especially those I call "friends"), who had no stake in last night's game, enjoyed the outcome not because they wanted the Giants to win, but because they wanted the Patriots to lose. It's so childish when people behave that way in sports, and I don't understand it. I don't get it with the Yankees, the Heat, or any other successful team in sports. Envy can be such a bitch. I suppose the old saying is true: haters gon' hate.
I already stated why I - despite being a Vikings fan - wanted the Patriots to lose. Schadenfreude isn't bitterness. And it isn't really Schadenfreude; Simmons is just a more entertaining writer to read when he's angry and dejected about his teams' losses. I actually feel a twinge of bitterness when I think about the Giants because the 2011 Giants team (up and down QB play, good receivers, mediocre run game, decent pass rush, terrible secondary) is practically a carbon copy of all the Vikings teams from the mid-nineties to early 2000s that always fell short.
The problem is that Patriots fans are usually such assholes, that it makes rooting for them impossible. I don't hate Brady. I don't even really hate Belichick. That said, I fucking hate Patriot fans. They are some of the most high and mighty fans on the planet. If they had won, I'd have to deal with assholes bragging about how the Patriots are the greatest thing ever, and how Tom Brady's piss can cure cancer (see: Parker) while Bill Belichick is the single most intelligent human in the history of the Universe and all things and has never done anything wrong in his life (he WANTED them to lose the Superbowl and go 18-1 to prove to the team that nothing is earned without hard work!). Now I don't have to deal with that. So yes, I am happy that the Patriots lost. That isn't schadenfreude, that is not wanting to deal with assholes.

I can still make a case for all of those given the fact Mankins acted like a revolving door and Welker/Hernandez missed two key catches, AND Patriots don't have a tall fast WR under the age of 25. I can keep going.
Your right. I just heard on the news that the Giants have declined their win and are sending the trophy to the Pats.
Teams like the Yankees and the Cowboys don't get hated out of envy. They get hated because they are, through flesh and bone, evil. They have evil all-powerful owners who use lawyers to bypass salary caps, they hire players on the verge of being criminally insane who lie through their teeth to the world, and have fans who more often than not are so full of themselves you want to stampede them into a volcano filled with boiling diarrhea. Why people that live outside the actual cities or are not from them would root for franchises with track records like that is beyond me. The Heat don't get hated on because of envy. They get hated on because of the megalomaniac with the rocket assembly building-sized ego that made "The Decision" last year. The Heat get hated on because of LeBron James, who is a fucking asshole. How many people did you know hated on The Bulls in the 90's when Jordan ruled the earth? The amount I can think of you can count on the hand of a shitty carpenter. When it comes to hating on franchises, sometimes stereotypes exist for a reason. It's not their winning ways so often as it is the personailites that embody them.
Silly Canadian. There is no salary cap in baseball and could you please tell me of this criminally insane player the Yanks have had?
