And inevitably - largely on the strength of that final drive - the tipsy eli gets the MVP and that Cadillac Escalade.

He should hang the keys up in the locker room for the NYG D to use.

Alright, so I live in Manhattan. I gotta say that seeing all my elated co-workers tomorrow is going to make me feel worse about having a chance to win a championship at Ohio State 3 times over the last 2 years and having come up short every time.

Looking outside my window, I can see a sports bar emptying and people partying in the streets. It makes me feel bad all over again about OSU's recent losses.

What did this game teach us?

For me it finally showed what the weakness of the Patriots is. Old lines on both sides of the ball and an old linebacking corp that had a hard time dealing with a team that hit them in the mouth play after play and that brought pressure from all over the field. Can New England get back here? Absolutely, but they have more work cut out for them than I could have imagined now that the rest of the league can use this game as a blueprint for success against them.

Bill Simmons "analysis" is a great read now... :slappy:

And over everything else, that's why I'm picking them to crush the Giants on Sunday. Remember the trailer for "The Perfect Storm" with Clooney and Wahlberg? How that gargantuan wave peaked toward the sky, a miracle of technology, something that probably took weeks to create in a CGI lab? When you watched the trailer, you didn't think about the time it took to create the wave ... you just wanted to see the power of that wave. Everyone heading to that movie knew Clooney's crew couldn't possibly survive, and yet, they paid for tickets and rooted for them to survive against all odds. Does that remind you of everyone talking themselves into the Giants as a 12-point underdog this weekend? A little bit, right?

If this Patriots season really is a perfect storm, then the Super Bowl should end like that Clooney movie. In other words, the Patriots would charge out to an early lead, throw all over the place, make a couple of big plays, put the Giants on their heels, force the Giants to abandon their running game and put Eli Manning in the position of playing from behind. And the lead would keep growing and growing, and by the time the game ended, New York's boat would have been smashed to smithereens. That's what the football version of a perfect storm should look like.

Will we see it on Sunday? I say yes.

The Big Pick: Patriots 42, Giants 17.

I would nominate this for idiotic post of the year, but then I would have to nominate damn near every roid defending post that you have made here. Maybe someday we will have a balance to the "Great Post Award", an icon that can be used to "award" idiotic posts, and simply name it after you!

He was out shaking hands with 1 second on the clock, conceding the game and congratulating TC. Hard to call that sore loser. NFL made them run a play.

It taught me that if you're a heavy favorite playing for an end of the season game in that stadium, prepare to lose.
