Superbowl Hype

[remark22]

I'm getting tired of the New York media lambasting Tom Brady every other day. They say we shouldn't like him because he's "perfect" and represents the "hollywoodization" of football. What a load of crap. He has no criminal record. He doesn't mouth off to anyone. He dates supermodels? So what! Good for him. Why don't they go pick apart the thugs in the NFL, who represent the "urbanization" of football. These thugs stand for the decay of decency and sportsmanship.
Well, on a positive note, at least they are starting to give Eli some praise. I can't wait for Brady to roast the Giants D. Edited by: remark22

R 22 get used to this type of politically correct 'journalism'. For some wierd reason white journalist will never critize the points you made. This is part of the reason why white men in America are emasculated. Everything the blks do is 'funny, cutting edge, hip, rebellous and cool'...nonsense. The only one who warned of the points you made was a black writer on Foxsports.com.

I am looking forward to the master Tom Brady, cutting up that 'cool' black NY defense. GO Pats!

Talked to a guy from NY, big Giants fan, he is hyped up about "big blue". His take on the game is that Eli Manning who had been holding them back for years finally played a couple of decent games, and if it wasn't for his name he woulda been out of the league 3 years ago. Another reason for the Giants finally going to the Super Bowl is an injury to the team "cancer" that is Jeremy Shockey!

So the only two white players of any significance on the team are the root of the Giants problems.

I tried to talk some sense to the guy but it was like talking to a radio sports jockey, he had the same rock solid anti-white bias so thouroughly ingrained that if you even try to question it---you're the crazy one.

I hope the Giants lose by 40!

"Everything the blks do is 'funny, cutting edge, hip, rebellous and cool'...nonsense. The only one who warned of the points you made was a black writer on Foxsports.com."

Haha, welcome to the pinnacle of the "double-standard." Isnt it great? It takes things that are immature, irresponsible, weak, vein, pathetic, and mindless (you know, everything black american males typically represent)....then turns it into everything "cool." With enough of this mind-numbing horesh*t, you can even be a millionare (see rap music).

The black sportswriter you're referring to is Jason Whitlock, the only man I've ever seen touch a subject like race in sports....in FAVOR OF WHITE PLAYERS! Though his columns are usually typical caste-dogmas (he writes about the NBA alot), there are several articles in which he pretty much tells the truth about how idiotic black america really is.

I too hope the Giants lose bigtime, and obviously, that Eli and Boss have great games. Welker will be SB MVP, mark my words!

The Pats started 10 whites (8 on offense) against the Chargers in the championship game. I hope they do the same in the Super Bowl. It will be a glaring caste match up between the Pats offense and the coal-black Giants defense. And, as usual, our guys will win.

Maybe this will help wake up a few drunk white fans.

Smaller names can be Super Bowl heroes
PHOENIX - We have our first upset special of the Super Bowl.





Apparently, it rains in Phoenix.
<DIV =in_info__btm>


I guess I should've packed a jacket.


Anyway, while chewing on the Patriots-Giants match-up, I started thinking about surprising players who can change Super Bowl Sunday.


It happens in every big game  an unsung hero emerges to make a difference in the outcome.


Let's analyze some non-mainstream players (we won't include Kevin Faulk since he always plays big in big games) who could be impact players deciding the Super Bowl.


Heath Evans  The Patriots staff and players have the utmost respect for this running back/fullback. If you ask Bill Belichick and Scott Pioli about their running attack  and we have over the last month  they will always be sure to include and highlight Evans.


The bruiser impacted the AFC title game in a big way. With the Pats' offense stuck in the mud and San Diego up 3-0, New England was facing a third-and-1. Evans followed Pro Bowlers Matt Light and Logan Mankins and barreled left to pick up an enormous first down. On the very next play, Randy Moss ran 14 yards for a first down on a reverse. A few Kevin Faulk catches and Laurence Maroney runs later, New England was in business, up 7-3.


Evans told me last week how much he loves playing for Belichick. In fact, he acknowledges he has become a true "Belichick guy." Evans is smart, versatile, clutch and knows his role.


And he's a player to account for, whether it's getting a first down or making a key block, on Super Bowl Sunday.


Dan Koppen  The Giants defensive line is outstanding. Osi Umenyiora, Michael Strahan and Justin Tuck know how to pressure and rattle a quarterback. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is a master at disguising and timing his blitzes. The opposing center must be ready to help recognize at all times.


Lucky for New England, they have a great one manning the middle.


Koppen has become a true leader and an excellent player for the Pats, rightly being recognized as an elite ball player with a trip to the Pro Bowl next week. Koppen is the anchor to the Patriots outstanding line. His play, both in a physical and cerebral fashion, will touch this game.


Ellis Hobbs  An injury has the cornerback flying a bit under the radar. But remember when these two clubs faced off in Week 17, it was Hobbs who nabbed a fourth-quarter Eli Manning pass for a pick. It would prove to be the only interception Manning's tossed over his last four games, including the playoffs.


While Hobbs can get criticized at times for giving up the big play, he has a special knack for impacting a game in a positive way as both a cornerback and return specialist.


Jeff Feagles  I really think if the Giants are to win, and they have a realistic chance, Feagles could emerge as one of the MVPs. Seriously. The long-in-the-tooth punter has made a career out of pinning the opposition deep in its own territory. It's nothing short on an enormous key with Tom Brady enjoying the greatest season ever at the quarterback position. If the Giants offense gets stopped, Feagles must step up and make it ultra-difficult for the New England offense to put a touchdown on the board. And precedent says he will be more than capable.


Steve Smith  Plaxico Burress thinks the Giants receivers are as good at the Pats targets in the passing attack. Well, not quite, but the New York wideouts have stepped up for Eli Manning in the playoffs. Everyone knows about Burress' domination over Al Harris. Toomer has been somewhere between fantastic and clutch in the three playoff wins. But it is the emergence of Smith that has proven to be as important as anything. Smith, a big-game player even as a rookie with oodles of pro-like experience at USC, stepped up in the Dallas game and Green Bay win to make important catches for Manning. And if you have to account for Smith, it takes away a bit of how you can defend and roll coverage towards Burress. Smith is going to be a factor vs. New England on third downs.


R.W. McQuarters  The veteran's savvy, skill, and versatility will come in handy on Super Bowl Sunday. McQuarters picked off Tony Romo to seal the upset special against the Dallas Cowboys. He's a veteran defensive back who has seen every look and won't be duped by the brilliance of Tom Brady. And McQuarters should be able to give the Giants pretty good field position with his play on special teams. Remember, it was McQuarters' return after the Patrick Crayton drop on third-and-17 that changed the field position for the Giants and led to New York's go-ahead touchdown.

Now They're Mad-Patriots will use Spygate as motivation, again


http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7753846


By Mark Kriegel
PHOENIX - By now, the words have been uttered so many times they qualify as the Patriots mantra:





That's in the past.
<DIV =in_info__btm>


Unfortunately, the past informs the present, and never more so than today, Super Bowl XLII. To recap: On Friday, a U.S. senator called on NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to explain why he had the infamous Spygate tapes destroyed. The New York Times quoted a former assistant on the Patriots video staff, who may very well have incriminating information on the team going back to the last century. On Saturday, the eve of America's great secular Sabbath, the high holy day of corporate culture, the Boston Herald reported that a Patriots cameraman illicitly taped the Rams' practice walkthrough before the 2002 Super Bowl, a game the Pats won with a last-second field goal.


This is bad news for the NFL. It's very bad news for the Patriots and their coach. But it's about the worst thing that could happen to the New York Giants, as the Patriots are at their best when people accuse them of the worst.


New England issued a categorical denial of the Herald story: "Absolutely false. Any suggestion to the contrary is untrue."


The NFL said that it had investigated the allegation "months ago" but found "no evidence of it on the tapes or in the notes produced by the Patriots, and the Patriots told us it was not true."


What? The NFL refutes allegations from 2002 based on tapes and notes from 2006 and 2007? How? And why is the league so satisfied taking the Patriots at their word? Football commissioners have always liked to lecture on the integrity of the game. Well, where was the integrity of the investigation?


Shoddy work makes for shoddy outcomes. The Herald's story ensures the season that began with Spygate will end with Spygate. It will be a while â€â€￾ if ever â€â€￾ before anyone can really figure out what this all means. But Goodell owes football fans nothing short of a full, transparent inquiry into the video practices of not just the Patriots, but the entire league. If he can't do it, be sure that publicity seeking politicians on Capitol Hill will be glad to do it for him.


No one's eager to dig up all this stuff, of course. But let's hear no more of that all in the past routine.


Tell the 2001 Rams and their fans that it's all in the past.


In the meantime, New England's dynasty will be subject to question, and Bill Belichick's legacy as coach the subject of doubt. Maybe that's not fair, but it's the way it is. Perception is its own reality, especially in a sport that holds the "integrity of the game" as sacrosanct.


Curiously enough, Spygate was the best thing that happened to the Patriots. It gave them an identity. It gave them motivation. It made them good and angry. But over the past couple months, this team seems to have become less angry, and not coincidentally, less dominant.


Suddenly, they again have reason to be merciless. There's the perfect season, of course. The Patriots play for an historic distinction. But they also play to defend the honor, such as it is, of their coach. (You might not like him, but apparently they do). The players will be defending their own honor, too. The Patriots understand that the only way to quell the cry of "Cheaters!" is to crush the Giants, to inflict a beating that will render the point spread a laughably optimistic number.


I thought the Giants had a chance. Even with Plaxico Burress hobbled, I thought they could get within a field goal. But as they say, that's in the past.


Take the Pats and the over.

Any team who had three Me! type players at once(Shockey, Burress and Barber) is going to give a young QB fits. Having to keep them all happy means forcing passes sometimes.
