As best I can tell, our only shot at a decent Superbowl has just come to pass.  After watching the Giants offense run up and down the field on Green Bay, there is no way in hell they were going to give the Patriots a game.  The only way to beat the Patriots is to put Brady on his back.  At least the Giants have a chance of doing it, Green Bay would have sucked out loud. 

Like I said, without Favre's 90 yd TD pass in the 2nd, no one would even bother talking about GB anymore and it wouldn't have been even near a close game.

Just Favre's stats alone show that, alas, his time seems to be over. 19 for 35 passes (54 %) for a total of 236 yds, 90 of those resulting from a 15 yard throw resulting in a 90 yd TD run because the assigned DB slipped, 2 TDs and 2 INTs, that's miles away from being up to par. His completion ratio in this game is even lower than his worst season result in his history with the Packers (56 % in 2006) and more than 10 points below his 2007 season average.

A team only relying on lucky long shots wouldn't stand a chance against the Brady Bunch and would've meant another boring Super Bowl that probably would've been said and done by halftime.

I'm really looking forward to see what the Giants are going to be able to do to NE, their defence looked solid enough to put a few stops to NEs offence in a couple of weeks, and their play calling was a lot better than GBs.

And, btw, the antics of Allan Harris towards Plaxico Burress were simply disgusting and deservedly he was made to look like a rookie several times. Throw in the number of penalties and grave mistakes GB acquired even in critical situations (but NY wasn't far behind in that department, being stripped off an interception within a matter of three seconds after the catch because you're too clumsy to put both your hands on the ball really doesn't look too well) and you had a team on there that had all the chances but just couldn't pull it off due to bad play calling, individual mistakes and a QB that simply had a bad day at the worst time in this season.

i want to root for the Giants,
and i liked Miami until this year,
  i lost all respect for the 72 team with their comments about the Pats,
  sorry Giants, Pats have to win now.

Could someone enlighten me regarding these two subjects, please, as obviously I didn't check the US-news pages on time. Thanks in advance.

Pats broke rules by taping Jets' signals

Belichick draws $500,000 fine
