David Stuns Goliath



Well...it finally happened. I knew it was coming....and it did. The freaking Patriots lost. Poor Randy Moss. Poor Tom Brady. Poor Bill...nah...fuck him. I don't like him anyway. But congratulations to the New England Patriots for failing. I knew you could do it. From the first snap, I knew New England had virtually no chance to win.

Now, New England can join an elite class of failures that includes Brooke Hogan. Seriously though, did New England think that the cheating scandal would not come back and haunt them? They cheated to beat the Rams their first year. They tried to cheat at the beginning of the season. They tried to cheat...and they were unsuccessful.

With the Super Bowl out of the way and the city of Boston in flames, I can honestly say this was the best Super Bowl since the one in 2000 when the Titans and Rams squared off. That was a great Super Bowl, game and commercial wise. No Super Bowl has come close to duplicating that great combination.

This one failed horribly. I've seen some horrible Super Bowl commercials (last year ring a bell?). This year's batch of commercials were not that funny. The few exceptions were the Doritos commercial where "human rat" jumped out and the horse training to pull the Bud Light carriage. The others were very lackluster, especially the lame "anti-drug" commercial.

Nevertheless, this game was very good. The best play, of course, came when David Tyree leaped up and caught one of the hardest passes all year. When I saw the play, I jumped out of my seat, pulling almost all of my ab muscles since my stomach hadn't fully digested the numerous goodies I ate during the game.

I will say that the last drive the Giants put on was the greatest one since the 2000 Super Bowl. It didn't end on a field goal and it was very decisive. Even though my Titans fell, I was very happy with the game. I still remember the conversations after the game at school the next day. Enough of the sentimental crap though. Time for business.

The Giants won on the road every game. That's very impressive. I don't think any other team has done that...but I could be wrong. However, the Eli Manning "dynasty" is upon us. It's his first ring, and it was an impressive performance by him. The only mistake was an INT that his player gave to the other team...idiot.

I am disappointed in Steve Smith's performance. For this to be his "comeback" Super Bowl and to blow missed opps like that...well...that's almost like how Donte' Stallworth played. I digress though; he has a ring. Moss and Stallworth do not.

As I see the end of the Bowl...I'm still disappointed. For all the hype, there weren't many good commercials. That hurt me...as I always look forward to the commercials delivering. I guess there's always next year. Maybe the Patriots will play fair and not cheat...but then again...maybe they need to cheat to win. But wait...I guess this Super Bowl proved something...cheaters never prosper.
