It WAS a good game.

So Super Bowl 42 is upon us, and there are two teams left. Giants, Patriots. This is what I thought the Super Bowl would come down to. I had terrible picks in the divisional round but in championship games I usually do well. I really hope Favre retires. I don't want to see him attempt another interception ever again. It's not like I hate the guy or anything, I'm just glad he isn't in the Super Bowl. If he was in the Super Bowl it would be a bazillion questions of about Brett. Brett, how do you feel? Brett, what does it feel like to be in the Super Bowl this late in your career? Brett, do you feel you can beat the Pats like you did in '96? Brett, how do you do it at this age? Brett, why haven't you missed a game? Brett, you have thrown a lot of touchdowns, do you think that Tom Brady or Peyton Manning can eventually beat your record? Brett, you're from Mississippi, how did it feel to beat another Mississippi boy in the NFC championship game? GAG ME WITH A FUCKING SPOON! I am soooo glad that Brett Favre isn't in the Super Bowl because if he would have beat the Giants, those were going to be the questions being asked starting Sunday. Super Bowl week is long enough, there are two weeks before the game still and that shit would have started as soon as Brett hit the podium after the game. So thank you Corey Webster for picking off that Brett Favre pass and hopefully sending him into retirement.

If the Patriots don't win Super Bowl 42, they will only be a team that went 18-1 and couldn't win the big game. That's not going to happen. The Patriots beat the Giants in week 17 and they will beat the Giants in the Super Bowl too. Even with a non-existent Randy Moss for the past two weeks, they have won with solid running from Maroney and a solid short game passing the ball to Welker and Stallworth and Kevin Faulk. They know how to get it done and they will do it again. Silencing all the critics, shutting up the 1972 Miami Dolphins and becoming the first team to go 19-0. Perfect against the NFL who who desperately wants a different team winning it every year. 4 Super Bowl wins in 7 years. A team of fate, a team of destiny. A team with Tom Brady playing God as men.
