1. Most boring SB ever
Edited on Sun Jan-20-08 10:18 PM by sjdnb
NYG vs Patriots --- it'll be a blow out -- no one except NoEasterners will be watching. Midwest and West Big Yawn ... but, hope folks still spend big bucks to advertise, cuz we need the revenue.

24. I wouldn't have blamed him, not with that high snap throwing
the timing off for the kick. It was a great game. Sorry Packers, Big Congratulations to the Giants! I'm looking forward to seeing some great things from Eli Manning in two weeks, too, and watching plenty of harassment from his family!

15. One of the best games I've ever seen
And considering how the regular season meeting between NY and NE went, this could be an interesting Super Bowl.

31. A horrifically bad football game
When no one wants to hit the ground that tells you that you are not going to get some good football. Favre was horrendous and didn't seem to care very much about it. I guess inside his private locker room everyone else isn't all that important.

Bad football.

38. They're my adopted training camp team
I go to one or two practices per year at Albany, while vacationing at Saratoga.

That lends itself to rooting for them during the season, although I'm a Dolphin fan foremost. Left plenty of time to root for the Giants this year.

This is what I was remembering late Sunday: In camp the FG kicker job was open. I watched Tynes battle a rookie from Ohio St, Josh Huston, for the job. On the day I was there Huston had the clear edge, while Tynes missed repeatedly from 40 yards. When Tynes blew the second kick I was wondering if the Giants blew the decision, and would already be in the Super Bowl had they retained Huston.

Last I saw, Huston was relegated to gimmick kicks at halftime of the Sugar Bowl, narrowly defeating an LSU alumnus, best total distance among 3 kicks.
