Man oh Manning This Superbowl will be so super! After watching the playoff games, this may turn out to be the better matchup over Pats - Cowboys... Packers, etc. I'll tell you why... the strengths of one team will offset the strengths of the other team making it, hopefully, competitive. The passing game of Brady & Co. has been the thing that has boosted them during the regular season. I think the Giants will neutralize that with their amazing secondary. It's such a great thing seeing good defense in any sport nowadays. I think it takes more focus to play that role compared to the offensive side, and people who excel defensively never get the spotlight unless it's the only thing working for a team. Anyway, for the Patriots I see their strength being their run game lately, and also the way they protect Brady. The Giants really need to get that first step and, more importantly, collapse that pocket, because only when Brady gets hit and starts to feel shaky is when it shows in his passing. I keep saying what the Giants need to do because they're the underdogs here. They're the ones who are going to have to learn "on the job" much quicker during one game than the other team. The Giants only really found their groove in the latter half of the season on into the playoffs, but the Patriots had it the whole time. Damn, F the Patriots! The more I think about them, the more I hate them. Boston doesn't deserve to have all of these championship teams, at least not all at one time. For godssakes, how about some parity, people. I guess I shouldn't rail against parity because then the Giants wouldn't even be in this year. Well, I'm not going to make a prediction this year. I will predict without a shred of confidence, that it will be a close game. I will also predict that Tom Petty will blow big chunks, but the caliber of commercials will be of a higher quality as compared to last year. I believe there will be a great Bud commercial involving some type of animal and a hot chick (or 2 different commercials dealing with each separately). I think they'll also unveil the trailer for the new Indiana Jones movie and for a Godfather prequel. OK, maybe the Godfather one is a stretch, but it'd be cool to see them do a new Godfather and completely CGI Marlon Brando, ha! Actually, they should just dig him up and dress him like Bernie, that would be a hoot. OK, I'm clearly done here.
