Default The Giants!

THE GIANTS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL

Ordered my 2007 NFC Conference Champions T-Shirt, even I'm realistic about their chances against the Patriots (**** chowderheads)

I've lost my interest in sports ever since chariot racing was stopped at the colesium.

Still not convinced that Eli won't find a way to lose in important games. Though I have to admit that the win over Green Bay was impressive.

Growing up in the late 50's and 60's I was a huge NY Football Giants fan as they were on TV every Sunday in NE. Meanwhile during the 60's the AFL Boston Patriots, now New England, slowly gained respect and I began following them too. There are a lot of Giants/Pats fans in New England. When the merger came in 1971 both teams were in different Conferences. My one great hope was that my two favorite teams would meet in the Super Bowl. This year I got my wish. However, the Pats have a chance to make history, so my friend and I will root for the Pats for that reason.

What history is that, Freddy? I'm with Gary. To me, a sport is fishing and hunting, but they are both very boring to watch.
