Except the Giants have had a sensational playoff season, pulling upsets over the Cowboys and Packers when nobody expected them to beat Tampa Bay.

And before anyone makes comparisons to the Chargers letdown, the Giants proved themselves twice in elimination against the two best teams in the NFC who were also among the top five in the league. The Chargers pulled an upset and then ran out of gas. This will be a great Super Bowl, possibly more so than it would have been if Green Bay were there.

the only thing that could have made this super bowl better in my opinion, is to have had San Diego beat NE and see a Rivers / Manning face off. talk about media blowing drama way out of proportion. it would have been hilarious.

but this is a great story.

i'm wondering where all the Eli haters are these days?

I admit I had given up on Eli, I thought he was a bust. I was a big supporter until the Vikings game when I decided that what we were seeing is what he is and he wasnt going to get better. I'm thrilled to be wrong. His play since week 17 has been exceptional. Gilbride realized that Eli is not the type of QB who can always be taking long shots down the field, and he tailored the offense to Eli's strengths. He has responded with one bigtime performance after another. I';m so freaking excited now I don't know what to do with myself.

It's like pats fans don't even remember that game.

I don't know if I've ever written a more difficult sentence.

I couldn't bear to see that sniveling bitch Eli Manning hold the Lombardi trophy.

I dont know.. Im a hardcoe Cowboys fan too, but as a New Yorker I cant bring myself to root for any team in teh Boston area. But I dont see how I can root for the fucking GINTS either... Gawd I hate that they won today, pack would have been such an easy decision.

I think NE vs. NY will be great as is: The New Story vs. History. I'm excited!!!

By the way, what's the backstory to Rivers/Eli?

They were essentially traded for one another. Giants traded rivers and 3 picks to the Chargers to get him. Chargers used Draft picks to get Shawne Merriman and Nate Kaeding.

I think this will be the first time I root for a NFC team.

 

[Capt Caveman]

Is there a line out for the game yet?

 

[Deeko]

God, this is the 2nd time in a row I've been forced to root for the Patriots in the Superbowl because I couldn't stand their opponent enough.

It's gotta suck to be a Cowgirls fan. And even suckier to have your own sniveling bitch Terrell Owens, weeping like Hillary Clinton on TV.
Tony Romo? Hehe.

You better be kneeling at Coughlin's altar!
Show the man some respect after belittling him the whole season.

Since I was at a football party, I didnt get the chance to post "This thread just got fucking owned today" in the Packers vs Patriots thread before it got closed. So I do that here now.

Lol, two pick prediction threads owned in a little over a week.

Oh lets be serious. Eli is the biggest whiner in the NFL. He refused to play for the team that drafted him! That's pathetic.

And no, it doesn't suck to be a Cowboys fan (note - its really clever to say "cowgirl", did you come up with that one all by yourself?). The team has won plenty.

I think it's both hilarious and saddening how sports hooligans take one insignificant issue out of context and use it as their single attack against another team. Asterisks, botched snaps, noise boosting, girlfriends, irreverent crowds, vacations, trash talking athletes, crying: they all mean nothing, yet it's the only thing hooligans can cling to, like dingleberry clings to anal hair.

I will preface this by saying that I am a lifelong eagles fan.

But, for the super bowl this year, I am rooting for the giants.

I gotta give them props for making a great playoff run.

And making TO cry is priceless.


Also, I really really hope they take the Pats down (my father in law is a huge Boston and Pats fan).

We heard you the first time.

Everyone here is saying the Giants have no chance... I wonder how many of those people were also saying the Giants would be out after the first week of the playoffs? Of course they're a long shot, but things happen...

Let's go Giants!!!!
