Freddy, see last post. Eli's coming!

By your avatar, you should be a Bills fan anyway.

Default Eli made me a believer

I am sitting here with my Eli Manning jersey on. My wife purchased it for me when Eli Manning was touted as the savior of the Giants.

Many fans will say that they believed in their team all year long, no matter how dark things looked. Honestly, I was not among them. When they beat Dallas I figured that was enough, they had played over their heads and eliminated their arch-rivals.

Wow, I still can't believe it, I'm in absolute shock.

Just for any football club from the orginal NFL is great for me. To beat the undefeated team is the icing on the cake.

Default T-Shirt return

After the Green Bay game I bought the 2007 NFC Champions T-Shirt....d'oh, wonder if I can return it for 2007 Super Bowl Champions T-Shirt without the tags and a nice coffee stain on it

I'm definitely going to the parade!

I ripped off my Pat's hat and threw it on the floor... Then I tore off my pats sweatshirt and threw it on the floor.... Then I ripped off My Brady Jersey and threw it on the floor. I then went and drank another beer, and cried like a little girl. O well... I still have the Red Sox.

Well, I certainely hope you burned them. Don't feel bad, the Red Sox personally messed up my honeymoon. I left for my honeymoon to Belize with the Yanks up 3-0 and watched a choke in 2004. I said to my wife, 'Don't worry, goes to figure that the year the Red Sox finally beat the Yankees, they get stuck playing the Cardinals (who in 2004 really were the team to beat), and of course the Cardinals get swept too.....

Coming back into the US, I find out that it isn't the US anymore, its 'Red Sox Nation'

I actually got into an 'argument' with my friend about the whole undefeated thing, he was saying that the Patriots going undefeated in the regular season 'surpasses' the Dolphins. I said, no, the record is completely undefeated in the regular season and you have to win the Super Bowl, unless you do that, you do not match the Dolphins.

When Moss caught that touchdown I figured it was midnight for Cinderella.....

The Giants. That's a football team isn't it? So what happened today to cause such a ruckus?
