OMFG... OMFG... THE GIANTS BEAT THE PATS

My goodness... the unbelievable just happened. It's amazing. Seriously, games like this are games that you thank the Good Lord for. Go Giants. Seriously, everyone (except Bostonians) wanted you to win. The game gave me the chills it was so good.

OK so other things to note about the event.

Best commercial was the Tide Stain Pen commercial, there were a lot of funny ones. But this one was brilliant. Gotta love the talking stain.


You'll get your ring soon Junior. Just stay patient.

Eli was solid but the TRUE MVP should go to the Giant's defensive line. This was the first time this season I've seen Brady hurried, knocked down, punched in the mouth, etc... etc...

Tyree's catch in the 4th was the most amazing catch I've ever seen in a game (non ESPN Sports Center highlight reel).

To be honest, it kinda worked out that the Pats didn't win... it would have been asterisked anyways with Spygate.

--------

So I had a $5 pool (the pot was $50) going on with some friends and it was 15 questions with a tie breaker. Here they are with my answers and rational:

1) Predict the Super Bowl XXII Opening Coin Toss
- Heads

2) Team to receive the opening kickoff in the game
+ Giants (Giants have to score early to establish themselves)

3) Team to score first in the game
+ Giants (I felt they would do ok but get stopped in the red zone. It was a combination of shaking out the cobwebs, settling down and the Pats Red Zone Defense)

4) The first score of the game will be a: touchdown or field goal
+ field goal (by the Giants, gotta keep the rational consistent)

5) The last score of the game will be: a touch down or field goal/safety
- field goal/safety (I felt it would be a close game based off the way the Giant's have been winning their games and the Pats Superbowl history of winning with Viniteiri field goals)

6) Will there be a successful 2 point conversion
+ no (they are rarely used)

7) Will the game go into overtime
+ no (but it almost did)

8) The New York Giants Total Team Points Over/Under: 22 and Over or 21 and Under
- 22 and Over

9) The New England Total Team Points Over/Under: 34 and over or 33 and Under
+ 33 and Under (I had a close game with both teams scoring in the 20s)

10) Will Eli Manning throw an interception?
+ yes (he's due)

11) Will Tom Brady throw an interception?
- yes (he's been throwing them)

12) Will Randy Moss score a touchdown?
- no (he's been double covered the whole postseason, why would things change?)

13) Will Plexico Burress score a touchdown?
+ yes (he's been scoring them the whole postseason, why would things change?)

14) How long will it take Jordin Sparks to sing the National Anthem: 1:42 and over or 1:41 and under.
+ 1:42 and over (Come on... it's an RnB singer and it's the Superbowl... gotta make it special ya know?)

15) What song will Tom Petty sing last in his Halftime Show?
+ Runnin' Down the Dream (Gotta do the inspirational song to finish off)

Tie Breaker) Total Number of Points by both teams without going over
47 (I had the Pats winning via fieldgoal over the Giants 24-23)

So I ended up with 10/15. I'll update with how I did. I think it'll be competitive but a winner... we'll find out. (An update, I lost... the winners had 12)
