so threeyard set us up, and i’m going to knock us down. fyi, in the interest of self depreciating humor, this blog is a lot like yelling with a megaphone into a forest. maybe a rabbit will hear you…perhaps a bear. but still, you dont know whether anyone is listening, until said bear decides to find out what the commotion is, and rips you to shreds because you woke his slumber. enough of the metaphors. let’s move on.
i will tell you that i’m surprised by last night…surprised and a slight bit disappointed. not disappointed in the giants, i think they’ve had a helluva season, and a helluva run. what a story…people thinking that eli manning was not a franchise QB, tom coughlin being on the hotseat for the past two years, coming back from being 0-2, very much a david vs. goliath thing. i applaud the giants.
not disappointed that the patriots lost, because secretly i happen to think that tom brady is a douchebag, what with
his dating giselle budndhchene, and his spiky full head of hair (i HATE him)…bill belicheck is kind of a jerk as well (i’ve thought these things, i just couldnt say them for fear of the patriots mafia coming to get me–side note, i imagine them to look like extras from good will hunting).
no i’m disappointed simply because i wanted to see a record like the 1972 dolphins 17-0 fall in my lifetime. i wanted to be able to tell my kids about that. i like the concept of a perfect season, and i like the thought that a modern day team did it,while i was watching. i found myself rooting not for the pats, but rather for their perfect season. two, surprisingly, mutually exclusive elements in my head.
plus i think mercury morris, and the 1972 dolphin team are a bunch of arrogant a-holes. have you ever heard mercury talk? i want their 15 minutes of fame (well more like 36 years of fame) to go away. i know that they want their record to stand, but there are much classier ways to go about doing it, as opposed to going on every TV show and stating that 19-0 was uncomparable to 17-0. go away mercury, and take your disco music with you.
either way, great superbowl. i found myself on the edge of my seat…and not because i have very small chairs. congrats to the giants, and congrats to the entire state of new york.
