A win for the ages

I’m still at a loss to describe my feelings after watching one of the most unbelievable finishes in sports history. Simply put, the Giants made history in Super Bowl XLII, and we are all fortunate enough to have witnessed it.
There’s no need here to rehash the entire game, but I will say this–never again should […]

Talk is cheap. Play the game.

Well, this is it. No more talking, no more prognosticating, no more pontificating, no more nothing. Super Bowl Sunday is at hand.
I’m not going to go into any detailed analysis here–we’ve all seen, read, and heard enough about how these two teams match up in the last two weeks, and nothing I would say here […]

Dead calm

The Saturday before the Super Bowl is usually very quiet, except for the odd arrest or misadventure of a key player the night before the big game. (Remember Stanley Wilson of the Bengals?)
Anyway, the teams are having their final practices today, which should be nothing more than a walk-through and some final film sessions. Obviously, […]

So what does Big Blue have to do to win this game?

It’s now Thursday, and we can pretty much surmise that both the Giants and the Patriots are putting their game plans in place for this Sunday’s game. This is when things start getting really serious and we’ll see the talk die down and the strategizing begin.
With the Giants being the decided underdog, it’s going to […]

Tell your statistics to shut up!

Oh well, according to this guy, the game shouldn’t even be played on Sunday!
Leave it to some nerd from a website called Coldhardfootballfacts.com to come up with all kinds of statistics that bolster his theory that the game between the Giants and the Patriots will be the “Mismatch of the Century.”
It’s always dangerous for someone […]

Plax makes his pick

I’m not sure it’s on the same level as Joe Namath’s guarantee of a Jet win against the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III, but Plaxico Burress has come out and made his Super Bowl prediction and, as one would guess, he picks Giants to beat the Patriots by a score of 23-17.
Now, of course, […]

Phil Simms offers Jeremy Shockey advice on how to deal with being out of the Big Game

Jeremy Shockey has certainly been a center of controversy ever since he’s been a Giant, and the fact that he’s been out of the lineup for the last few weeks with a broken leg, and will not be able to play on Sunday, has been on the mind of a former Giant player who went […]

Will this be Michael Strahan’s last game?

The last couple of days have been kind of annoying when it comes to the Super Bowl media hype. Guys having multiple microphones shoved in their faces being asked ridiculous questions, and their answers are being turned into pseudo-declarations of war. It’s all very silly, if you ask me.
Anyway, here’s something we should take a […]

Big Blue goes back to work

After a few days of rest, relaxation, and basking in the glow of their improbable ascent to the NFC Championship, the Giants finally get back to work today and begin a few days of practice before they fly down to Phoenix on Sunday.
Of course, the two weeks off between the conference championship games and the […]

Bigger than Big Ben, Giants going to England

Not exactly Montana-Simms-Craig-Lott-LT etc. the Giants handled their business, winning with another big day from the big D. OSI has been amazing. The resurgence of the defense has been just unbelievable. Brandon Jacobs is running hard, and it’s not all about Eli Manning which is great! The Giants play in a cold weather place, if […]
