deerPhD Sportsday (one day late)
Posted by Bryan on January 29, 2008
I don’t know about all of you - but I hate this time of year with respect to sports. Hunting season is coming to an end (I know Arthur struggles with this as well), football season is almost over, and I can’t stand all of the basketball hype. I’m a football/baseball kind of guy. However, with that said, we do have the biggest game on earth coming up this weekend - maybe you heard of it! If you haven’t CLICK HERE!
Here’s my take on the SuperBowl - I wish it would end in a tie! Here’s why:
- Everyone’s sick of the Patriots: I’m tired of the “Patriots are the best ever” suggestions. Everyone knows that the late 70’s Pittsburgh Steelers were the best team ever (Okay - I’m very biased here…and I’ll admit a little jealous!)
- Cheaters do win: Anyone else upset that the whole SpyGate thing went away too quickly?
- Not an Eli fan: I always viewed Eli Manning as a wanna-be Peyton — and then he refused to sign to the team that drafted him. With that being the case, I always loved it that the Chargers were better than the Giants — until now. But, I guess it’s for the good of the game that the Manning era continues…
- Oh Plaxico: I didn’t like Burress when he was in Pittsburgh - and now that he’s not I don’t like him even more. Bad attitude, selfish, but good!
Wow, I have a bad attitude today! That being said, I do think it will be a great game. The current spread is New England by 12. If I were a betting man, I’d take the Giants and the points…though part of me does think that the Brady foot injury is a mind-game.
What about you — what’s your pick?
Burress, Eli Manning, NFL, Plaxico, Super Bowl, Superbowl, Tom BradyIf you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!
I would love to see Eli pull it off, but I think the Pats are going to end the year undefeated.
Thanks for the link Bryan and what got you so charged up today?:)::)

Hey Arthur - thanks for your thoughts. I think the SuperBowl got be charged - I really don’t like either team that’s playing. However, I do like Brandon Jacobs (RB) for the Giants - so that’s a plus!

A friend of mine is a huge Giants fan, as he is originally from New York. Since I really had no stake either way, I said I would root for the Giants. Besides, it would be so cool to see the underdog team win!
So, I guess my cheer has to be GO GIANTS!

Bryan, you opened on old wound! The Steelers were the best team because they beat, the Warren Moon led, Houston Oilers, with a refs call on a Houston TD on an end zone catch that was ruled out of bounds. This was the play that led to instant replay (ugh)! The receiver had both feet in with inches to spare.

Kristine - fair enough…I have to respect loyalty to friends!
Jon - for whatever it’s worth, we have our fair share of old wounds in Pittsburgh too. That being said, I’m glad the tides came our way against Houston back in the day (with all due respect of course!)

I always root for the underdog so “Go Giants” either way I am a “COLTS’ fan.

Rick - As the Colts fan you are, I’m sure you and Peyton are on the same side on this one!

Diehard “COLTS” fan all the way. I’m not jumping ship because they didn’t make it. There is always next season.
Bryan - I will back you on that bet, GO GIANTS!

Moose - glad to see a rivalry brewing here! And I guess I can’t blame you being from New England…
