Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 *sigh* As if New York and Boston needed this matchup... No worse fans in sports in terms of assholism QFT ESPN's going to be unwatchable for the next 2 weeks. Like it wouldn't have been if the Pats were playing the Cowboys or Packers? Honest question: I see so much kvetching about ESPN and the incessant media hype on this board, pretty much since I've been here.....so why the fuck do you watch Sportscenter et. all? You're all on the internet, if you want to see highlights from a game it's easy enough, I just don't understand the "fucking ESPN is going to drive me insane" mantra, just don't watch it unless it's for an actual game. At all. I don't. It's easy to get your sports fix from the internet/newspapers/talk radio without relying on a shitty channel that everyone obviously hates.

No worse fans in sports in terms of assholism QFT ESPN's going to be unwatchable for the next 2 weeks. I don't think there's a single media outlet that is watchable during the seemingly endless pre-Super Bowl coverage. If your favorite team isn't in it, all of it is to be avoided. If you actually can get it, NFL Network is going to be a great oasis. Old Super Bowl games, America's Game documentaries, it's going to be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 ESPN should be hyping this up. They are in the championship after all. If it was Chargers/Packers, they would be talking about that 24/7. The only time I think they really go overboard (and FOX does this too) is with the Yankees & Red Sox. I remember a couple of years ago when FOX was hyping the American League Championship Series between the White Sox and Angels and literally the entire pre-show was about the fact that the Yankees & Red Sox weren't there. The two teams actually playing barely got a mention. Now that is going overboard. The teams still playing should always be talked about more than the teams that are not.

naiwf 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 I just want to clarify that New York Yankees fans are assholes. The rest of our teams aren't successful enough to have asshole fans. What about Jets fans? They have one of the crummiest franchises in AFC history and are some of the most obnoxious fans in the NFL. They're just bitter that it's been almost 40 years since they were relevant. Aside from the obnoxious J-E-T-S, JETS JETS JETS chant they don't really annoy me all that much and I have to hear everyone of them in the tri-state area pick the Giants to lose every game they play every year.

Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted January 21, 2008 I don't mind the Jets so much since they realigned divisions. I still don't like them, but they're pretty irrelevant to me. I feel that way about all non-Yankee New York teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

God I remember when the Jets came to town. Since the owner of the bar I bounced at was from the area the official Jets fan club made it their hangout for the weekend. I swear If I had heard that stupid J-E-T-S chant one more time I might have hurt someone. The only good point was that when a few of them got blasted I called them cabs instead of letting them drive their rentals back to the hotels. They tipped pretty well.

mike546 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Biggest play of the game in my opinion was the stop Pierce made on the screen in the 2nd quarter. Grant had three blockers in front of hin, Pierce was the only guy anywhere near him, and instead of taking a 14-6 lead, the Giants held it to 10-6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted January 21, 2008 For some I have the feeling I'm stuck in a timewarp from 2001 and have visions of another lousy Super Bowl thrashing with the Patriots in Baltimore's role. This feels more like the 1998 season, when an amazing Vikings team completely choked and gave a shitty team who had no business keeping the game close in the first place, to lead to a complete assraping in the Super Bowl. At least Vikings fans have this- I'll never make fun of them for that game again. Good game, better team won damnit! Lies. The Giants played keepaway the whole game and both teams had a few breaks go their way, then Favre fucks it up in overtime. To be honest, Green Bay played well below their level for this game, and New York is in way over their heads next week. Three consecutive road wins against much more talented squads, and now against the best team the NFL has ever seen? Good luck with that one. The Packers have enough blame to go around for the whole team actually. Hawk for missing the late tackle, Harris for getting torched, McCarthy for abandoning the run, the defensive coordinator for not getting someone over to HELP Harris after the fifth torching and of course Farve for just not looking and hurling the ball all over the field. I agree completely. I mentioned it earlier that the best thing the Packers could have done would have been to crush them with their running game and have Favre look for the short, quick pass and control the ball. The worst possible thing they could have done was slow the game down to the Giants' pace and let them control the ball. And hey Cowboynumbers, knock it off. Your team lost to the same one mine did last week, despite being the #1 seed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike546 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 The better team DEFINITLEY won this game. Maybe I'm wrong, but it looked like to me the Giants totally dominated this game. One huge play by Favre to Driver, and basically that was it. Two missed FG's, the fumble after the INT, the called back TD from Bradshaw, the lucky TD after the penalty on Madison, the Giants owned time of possesion, owned the running game ect ... I don't how you can say the Bucs, Cowboys and Packers were the better teams when the Giants went in and beat ALL of them on the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Also, the Giants don't even have anything interesting going for them other than a slightly douchey quarterback and a block of muscle at running back.

Your team lost to the same one mine did last week, despite being the #1 seed. That's pretty funny because thee Giants completely outplayed the Packers in regulation. The 90 yard TD pass was a blown coverage, Tynes missed 2 FGs, and that only kept the Packers in the game. If they were the better team they wouldn't have lost at home with Brett Favre beind outplayed by Eli Manning in subzero temperatures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How could you say the Giants totally dominated this game when there were FOUR fucking lead changes, with the game tied till the very last second? On a talent basis alone, Green Bay is the better team. So is Dallas. I don't know about Tampa Bay.

Last time I checked, the Falcons went 14-2 in 1998 which was one fewer win than the Vikings and lost by two touchdowns to a better team in the Superbowl. I wouldn't call them a shitty team or say that they got raped in the Superbowl. There have been far worse Superbowls. So quit your fucking bitching and shut up.

I'm pretty damn sure Eli out played Favre for 99.9% of this game. This would have been an easy Giant win for not one blown coberage and one retarded fumble after and INT. You act as if TOP and run yards aren't important. The Giants moved the ball, kept the chains moving, and kept the Green Bay D on the field. The Packers were horible on 3rd down, and the Giants secondary was great, with not that much pressure from the Giants front four. I'm guessing the Giants "all joe" thing got to your head, because the Giants have a very talented team. This was less of an upset than Cowboys/Giants imo. The Giants were outplayed in that one, but for the majority of this game were definitley the better team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Not to mention the Packers beat the shit out of them 35-21 earlier this season as well. I'll give the Giants credit for doing so well in the underdog situation all season, and for Tom Coughlin making the Super Bowl after choking in the conference title game so many times with the Jags. And I'm just going to leave it at that rather than try to talk down to the level of the myopic morons coming from the Empire State at the moment. Good game to you all, and good luck keeping the margin of victory for the Patriots a little bit closer than it might be otherwise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
