actually he is still listed as "probable"... also the amputated leg is actually just a "lower body injury"

The Choice (and remember, death is not an option): Rooting for Dr. Evil Bill Belichick to coach the greatest undefeated team in NFL history or leaving the 1972 Miami Crankypants as the only unbeaten Super Bowl champions?

I'm 95% certain this is just Belichick screwing with everyone, but I guess you never know.

I do get deja vu frequently. It will be random "images," but they will show up weeks or even a month later in real life. They usually have no real meaning, but it is pretty freaky.

If the regular season game (38-35) was any indication, I think it will be a good one...

Only thing is, Belichick has prepared for them a few week ago for the regular season matchup, and can go more indepth now in film and research now for the superbowl. It's very tough for teams that he's faced twice in one season, but the giants are on a roll, and have been doing very good on the road.

Manning will not put up the same numbers as he did in the regular season game..

The Giants secondary can't handle that offense. I'm predicting a blowout, but not too bad.

Well, I'm hoping for a close game again. If a decimated Chargers team gave fits to NE for most of last week's game...the Giants have a chance.

But, just watch Brady now toss for 23 TDs and Moss gaining 300 yards in receiving now just because I said that.

Ya know, when it's a blowout but they score right at the end, then it doesn't look as bad

it's gonna be a good game. the giants have a lot to prove. they have done a great job of taking the last three teams out of their game. why not this one? look for the patriots to think it's to easy and get suprised by the giants. 31-23 giants

Do I REALLY need to make you a list?

Like I said, I have my reasons, and I'm not the only one on the planet that actually despises other teams...
