Pats 48, NYG 16. I’m just the messenger.
This will not be a good game – blame the Packers (and Cowboys) for choking. The Giants do not match up well against the Patriots. They will still be unable to run against the Patriots ’soft’ run D; they still won’t have anybody who can even dream about covering Moss; they aren’t going to get any more penetration against a healthy Pats OL than they could against a 60% complete line; they aren’t going to score 35 points this time around; the Pats aren’t going to come out flat. Gisele Bundchen scores on a triple-reverse.
.. Or not so much.
… Or completely not. Great game, even. Bad luck about the score.
February 3, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Dear Bill ‘Adolf’ Bellichek,
Despite what you and your lackeys The Editors, Tom ‘Benito’ Brady, Randy ‘Mein Kampf’ Moss, and Wes ‘Progressive’ Welker believe, the true face of your eighteen fascist victories will be undone tonight. It will be a victory the like of which has never been seen before.
Sincerely,
The New York Classic Liberal Giants

Where’s the Brady song?
February 3, 2008 at 2:46 pm
And so it came to pass that Brady’s ankle injury was more serious than reported, and Brady has been fitted with a prosthetic limb for the Super Bowl.
Final score: Patriots 38 Giants 36.
February 3, 2008 at 3:05 pm
In my heart.
February 3, 2008 at 3:25 pm
But then again, football is nothing but rugby for sissies, so the score doesn’t really matter.
February 3, 2008 at 3:39 pm
The 12 point spread is an insult to the perfection of Das Uber Patriots.
I agree completely with Teh Editorz.

February 3, 2008 at 5:29 pm
The possibility of 30 yards passing at the half and the mobility of an 80 million year old insect specimen in amber… no wonder he’s being called the best ever.
February 3, 2008 at 5:51 pm
As someone who has watched every Super Bowl for going on 30 years, I have to say there is nothing very impressive about this Patriots team. Tom “Joy of Man’s Desiring” Brady is nothing without pass protection, same as any other mortal QB.
February 3, 2008 at 5:53 pm
Oh, and LOL…Brady is stripped of the ball by a guy named…Tuck.
February 3, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Patriots choke.
February 3, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Well, I certainly didn’t expect this. The Pats offensive line seems to have lost something.
I still believe that they’ll hit Moss for a big play in the second half.
February 3, 2008 at 6:14 pm
I like that you and Bill were on the same page about starting with a triple-reverse. Do the Patriots have any Offensive Line Men to play, this might help. The Giants are running the ball really well, Brandon Jacobs/Bradshaw.
I remember the Bills were totally beating the Cowboys at Halftime the last time. I suppose Bill’s going to make the proper adjustments and the spread will be covered, (please baby jesus), but some execution from the Pats O-line might be important. I don’t know, I’m not Cookie Gilchrist, I’m not Steve Grogan, Tony, or Bo Eason, I just heard that blocking and tackling was something you had to do.
February 3, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Could be worse, could be rugby (which is just football for slow, undersized drunks).
February 3, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Y’know, for a team that can’t block or tackle worth a shit, the Pats are doing good.
February 3, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Yeah, but rugby has better songs.
Giants might have a shot if they move the ball in the fourth the same way that they moved the ball in the first. Only problem would be if the Pats move the ball in the fourth the same way that they moved the ball in the first.
February 3, 2008 at 7:06 pm
I’m really looking forward to NFL Films’ Greatest Annoying Games of All Time, featuring this Super Bowl in its entirety.
It’s sad when the only dramatic moment so far has been the review of the punt/12 men of the field play.
Seriously–redo.
February 3, 2008 at 7:12 pm
The Giants just took the lead. Just so’s you know.
February 3, 2008 at 7:14 pm
I didn’t even know Western Oregom had a football program. They did, his name was Kevin Boss a la Sonoma State’s Larry Allen.
February 3, 2008 at 7:22 pm
The same scientists who bring you the global-warming conspiracy agree that 99.99% of the best QBs of all time will hit Randy Moss when he’s that fucking open.
February 3, 2008 at 7:46 pm
My comment could apply at numerous times in the 4th quarter.
February 3, 2008 at 7:58 pm
I told you Hobbs was slow.

February 3, 2008 at 9:27 pm
“How to Rig an Election: Confessions of a Republican Operative”
Former GOP political operative Allen Raymond:
“The mouth-breathers who decide GOP primaries might allow people who steal their money and send their children to impossible wars to get away with anything, but they’ll cut no such slack for baby-killers,”
‘Don’t you know he’s a fag?’ Tommy must have said a dozen times before the meeting…. For some people, even the GOP is too diverse a community. Anyone with first-hand knowledge of the upper levels of the Republican power structure knows it could give the audience at a Rent marathon a run for its money. So you’d think party hacks like Tommy would have gotten over it by now.”
“Even the guys who didn’t expose undercover CIA operatives, proposition congressional pages, and send other people’s children off to die in an impossible war wouldn’t rat on the ones who did…. I was truly beginning to understand how few metaphysical limitations a person is up against once he decides that the truth is what he makes it. From then on, two plus two would equal whatever sum I found most useful.”

I understand about Teh Editors being from Boston and all – it’s not that I condemn his loyalty, just that I feel bad for him.
I mean, 48-16? Or whatever the fuck?
OK.
Not to gloat, but eat it. 17-14. Forever and ever.
Yeah, keep talking. 17-14, brudduh.

Rugby players are, in general, significantly faster than football players. For one thing, they aren’t weighed down by 40 pounds of armor like NFL players are. And yes, Rugby does have better songs. I think the only song that football has is “Waah Waah Waah, we’re afraid of being injured, let’s all cover ourselves in hard plastic and get really fat.”
..Oh yeah, and the Superbowl Shuffle. Much respek, Fridge.
T.D. Cool-V, out, yo.
February 4, 2008 at 4:34 am
I’m looking forward to you talking your way out of this one.

February 4, 2008 at 5:48 am
Whoa. Easy now, it’s not like The Editors went for it 4 and 13 in the SB. It was unusually for the Pat’s O-line to get knocked the fuck out. That Manning to Tyree pass was a freakout. This team was like the Rams team that the Pats beat for their first SB win, or the ol’ Vikes team with Randy, Cris, Doleman and them. This team could have easily been 12-4 or 13-3, been a regular ol’ quality SB team, shit just catches up to you, especially vs. a team you only beat by 3, so the Giants have the SB incentive, the revenge incentive, and beat the “greatest” football team incentive.
The Pats could have won that game Welker and Stallworth, Faulk and Maroney were doing work. They just fizzled out on drives at crucial teams. The Giants bent be did not break, and they got home on Brady at five clutch times. Strahan, Tuck, and Osi were just going by Kaczur and Light like they weren’t there on third down. The Pats could have lost to the Ravens, Philly and the Giants in the regular season for most of the same reasons. The Giants seemed surprised that they could throw if they wanted to, Steve Smith was always open. Brandon Jacobs should be illegal, Ahmed Bradshaw was the Giants very last pick in the draft. Boss came out of nowhere. A perfect confluenceh of incidents erupted in a phantasmaghoric quasi-transdemensional ode to sheep’s bladder related athletic variation. Like Super Bowl 25, The Bills were a +20 favorite in that one. The Giants are a team that doesn’t shake easily playing in the glare of Gotham. Except for Kerry Collins.
Matt Light will still have lovely blond ringlets next year. They have the 7th overall pick in the draft next year. The Pat’s are just going to fume like a volcano over the summer, add five more of the best FA in football, and hopefully lose the next three Super Bowls in a row. Winning is everything, and it’s sad that they wasted perfection, and they’ll be remembered with distaste as losers, like the Bills who lost four in a row, instead with perspective for what they did do, not what they didn’t. Unfortunately that’s just the way it is. That’s what keeps the Super Bowl ring valuable.
February 4, 2008 at 5:51 am
…and yes I do realize that the 90s Bills are not on the same level of this Pats team.
February 4, 2008 at 6:37 am
Eh, doesn’t say much about the Pats that they couldn’t beat a mediocre NFC team when all the marbles were at stake. Did I mention that Eli Manning is their Giants QB? Eli Manning!
I haven’t watched much football this year, how did the Pats even get to the Superbowl? Did they just go on a good run in the playoffs or something?
hahahahahahahaha…
February 4, 2008 at 6:46 am
I still wonder why Randy Moss was used so little during the post-season. While they were winning I stuck with the “decoy” theory, but no one else was getting open much during the Giants game either, and they shut Maroney down.
The last Pats drive with the short passes looked rally good but I wonder why they couldn’t have done thatearlier.
February 4, 2008 at 7:08 am

And how do you like THEM apples?
Despite many thinking they weren’t “good enough” (even though they were able to make it to the Bowl), the Giants “magically” beat the Patriots.
Blame it on Brady.
Blame it on nerves.
But face the facts.
They lost.
February 4, 2008 at 7:24 am
Chokin’ freaking dogs. LOL! Enjoy that crow, dude.

Other than regular season college basketball, I mean.
February 4, 2008 at 10:26 pm

I myself consider the months of February through August to be a wasteland of boredom, sportswise. March Madness is amusing for a moment or two, but once baseball kicks in, it’s truly a death march.
Dude, are 162 games enough? Seriously? Or would you like us to add a couple of months to the calendar, just so there could be more baseball games?
Wait, don’t answer.

It’s like a computer was just given random phrases and it vomited back at you with no grammar or care for the reader. Or, if you will, I whispered some random observations about the game I was watching into the ear of an ESL student and then they got loaded and screamed it all back at you whilst doing about 75 MPH. I totally already know that about my shit. I’m too busy stacking all this paper to the ceiling to care.

Max @75:
hardly archetypal. See, this is just one more illustration of the incompetence of George Bush. Even when trying to play rugby, he manages only to be an Italian footballer.[FN1]
Though I must say, there’s something about the idea of Bush playing rugby that I like. I like to think of him alone with the ball, about to make the acquaintance of Sebastien Chabal.
[FN1] Not that kind of football; the real kind. And no, it’s not a slur against Italians. It is, however, a completely justified slur against the Azzurri, the Republicans of the sporting world.
February 5, 2008 at 7:46 am
Heres what really hurts:
As a Patriots fan, you realize that the entire season, undefeated, perfection, coming together as a team after the most overblown scandal since Whitewater…all of this, in the end, was only to serve as a foil to freakin’ Eli and the Giants. This was their season. Yankees suck.
