Sport-Related

So this is totally off-topic for everything and I am normally not a big sports guy, but the Super Bowl was freaking AWESOME! Hope you all caught it! Drama, excitement, a close game, two fantastic teams, diametrically opposite styles of play and leadership, coming down to the wire. AWESOME! I believe Reed said it best when I was talking to him last night, "If all sporting events were like that, I'd be a sports fan!" Good show Giants and good show Patriots!

Absolutely right... I've never rooted so hard for someone's else's team in my life like I did for the Giants Sunday night. No one gave them a chance in hell of coming a way with a victory... but they showed up, they played their fuggin hearts out against "The Perfect Team", and won.

The superbowl should all come down to one simple thing: who wants it more. Nobody wants to see an inferior team just going through the motions, getting thrashed, and the victors being crowned at half-time while victory is a foregone conclusion.

And while I wouldn't say the Giants are a better team than the patriots, they played balls out, nothing but heart, and absolutely stuck it to New England.

The Patriots have been steamrolling opponents all season... Even to the point of being unsportsmanlike about it, running up the score at away games just to rub the other team's nose in it, on their own turf, no less.

Which makes it even sweeter that the Giants, a 10-6 team in their ugly ass white jerseys, beat a little humility into Tom Brady n' Friends. Every time I saw Brady get sacked, a jumped out of my seat in triumph... :P

Even if the Giants had lost, it would have been a very good game... but the fact that they won made it an excellent game. :P
