if bradshaw has a good game and jacobs doesn't, the giants will likely win
if jacobs has a good game and bradshaw doesn't, i dunno...

if isn't too much to ask, where is adam schefter?

afternoon tv is delivering. jaws says that eli will "throw the ball 50 times for almost 400 yards". it is cool to see gruden's eye go dead every time jaws speaks. as a bonus: commercial that somehow manages to make hooters seem creepy, of all things.

robby krieger got that black eye blocking a punt iirc

madonna is performing w/mia and nicki minaj i hear

haha morbs

man that tom brady pic should be used in elementary schools across the country to help boost self-esteem

'hey even if you look like this you might one day become tom brady'

nfl channel is playing old superbowls, glimpsed a young belichick on the giants sideline the other day, lol

man got to go see if i can dvr 49ers 55 broncos 10

ah no go but lol anyway http://www.hulu.com/watch/123641/super-bowl-highlights-1990-super-bowl-xxiv-san-francisco-49ers-vs-denver-broncos

lol theres a show on the nfl network right now abt how brady is mad that he was drafted in the 6th round, it opened w/him reciting the list of qbs drafted ahead of him from memory

was he actually mad about that at the time, or has he just read enough sports writer bullshit that he's decided to accept that narrative as key to his success

it is p hilarious be barely started in college

49ers 55 broncos 10

this was awesome bc my asshole freshman year roommate was a broncos fan

a+ xp

shit theres a show on belichick next, im in too deep

haha brady is crying abt being drafted so low now, this is from this year fyi

I'm right he has been reading stupid shit on the internet, he probably forgot about it until recently

He's just trying to make Ryan Mallett feel better.

haha i just interviewed a dude who's buds with ryan mallett

ha theyre reading bradys draft scouting report right now and its pretty hilariously wrong

no poll?

i'll be rooting for the giants but i really cant help but feel the pats are gonna take this. you can argue that the giants are better than they were in 07 and the pats are worse, but i think the matchup favors the pats a little more this time. in 07, if you took away randy the pats had difficulty working the intermediate area of the field. their current offense is in a much better position to mitigate a great pass rush. obv the defense is bad and eli's gonna have a great chance to throw it around the field, could be a shootout, but i could see the pats controlling the ball for a lot of the game

Prediction: the Pats will have a big play using Chad Ochocinco

That will be their "use Aaron Hernandez as a running back" surprise play of the game.

i'm kind of losing track of what this argument even is

the argument = "ILXers wish Superbowl had lasted forever, attempt to simulate it via opinions; also, lol @ Patritos"

two really good teams playing each other doesn't always lead to 50/50 games, but this one did. I guess my only argument is that if the giants played better they did by a v. tiny margin really but, yeah, that was enough. this was a margin of error game and not at all a victory that demonstrated that the giants were 'better'.

well sure, cue angry swigging

i guess my point is trying to argue what a team like the giants or the patritos "should be" able to do "on average" is sorta pointless. it's not average! they're playing each other!

well... the Giants were better at turning their drives into points; considering that both teams scored two touchdowns and a field goal, the Giants had an unanswered field goal which won them the game even without the lol saftey

well I am not trying to argue that the giants did not win that game, statistically they did win that game 100% of the time iirc, this is about 'who played better' and 'what did that game reveal about the two teams'.

the browns beat the Patriots two years ago and last season if the ball would've bounced the right way they were super bowl shoe-ins so ergo

i can't do this

hahaha

there is a ceiling on hope
and it lives in cleveland
