NY Giants get officials to hand them a place at the show

[sjdnb]

while the best quarterback who ever lived is left at home ... all due to a bad OOB catch called complete ... you must be SOOOO proud!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

1. Sour much? I think so.

:rofl:

[flvegan]

2. Your concern is noted.

"Best quarterback"? Opinions vary.

[ashling]

61. I think we can all agree

that the best QB is from Mississippi? Now ya'll shake hands an' have a julep.

[trotsky]

3. LMAO

How sweet it is to see Lord Favre return to form and throw the game away.

And that catch was complete, BTW. Both feet touched before he landed OOB.

[sjdnb]

6. Feet landed, than catched after OOB

kind of --- but, no one champions small markets, when it comes to the NFL. Much better for the sponsors if NE/NY compete ... more dollars all around.

[trotsky]

7. How the hell did the Pukers get to the SB in 96/97, then?

Or for that matter, how did Indy & Chicago BOTH make it last year?

Go to bed, hopefully you'll be less whiny in the morning.

[sjdnb]

9. Yes master, going to bed now, thank you for setting me straight

I am so unworthy ... sheez, some of you people are far too in love with yourselves.

And, some of us just support the teams we love. Shame on us.

[trotsky]

11. LOLOLOL

You're funny.

[TZ]

10. heh.

Somehow I doubt a good night's beauty sleep is gonna do much for someones sour grapes....
To that poster I give thee my favorite line: would you like some cheese with that whine?
:evilgrin:

[trotsky]

12. Considering he's a Whacker fan,

I'd say he already has the cheese for his whine. ;-)

[Pale Blue Dot]

13. Actually, the NFL was hoping for Favre vs. the Patriots.

This was even reported on in the past week; they thought it would be the highest rated Super Bowl ever. Not that you'd let facts get in the way.

[sjdnb]

16. Well, guess the NFL/SB might not have gotten what it hoped for then

because while lots of NEasterners might watch -- here in the Midwest/West - we'll be doing something else. Have fun playing with yourselves.

[trotsky]

19. Speak for yourself.

This Upper Midwesterner will be watching the Super Bowl for sure.

[sjdnb]

26. You and one other so far ... wow!

....

[Meshuga]

32. Add another one to that!

Go Giants!

[1gobluedem]

67. Michigander here...

And I'll be watching even though MY team has never been in the SB and, based on their current status, probably never will.

I'll be cheering on Michigan man, Tom Brady, and the Pats and hoping that the Giants', Amani Toomer, another Michigan man, does well but just not quite well enough to win.

Go Pats!

[TZ]

37. Damn it. Trotsky!!

You missed a golden opportunity for a smackdown there....He talked about having fun playing with yourselves...Somehow it strikes me that in Green Bay there isn't much else to do on a cold winter night than just that...:evilgrin:

[sjdnb]

49. Yeah, but unfortunately we're more human/normal ...

we have real, human partners, to share our lives with ... sorry to let you down -- maybe you can find some other things to play with?

[KitchenWitch]

23. This Minnesotan who lives in California will be watching the Super Bowl.

[leftynyc]

66. Don't worry

New Yorkers like myself couldn't care less what the rest of you do on Super Sunday - GO GIANTS!!!

[deucemagnet]

15. Yeah it's a real shame when they don't make money from the Super Bowl.

Maybe if more people watched it, the officials wouldn't feel the need to pander to large markets.

[sjdnb]

4. Did you watch the game?

Just one bad call gave it all to the Giants ...

But, they will get whooped up on by the Pats, so not all is lost.

This Superbowl will be something like 42 to 10 Pats over Giants --- Yawn (but will watch the half time show)

[trotsky]

5. Of course there was that personal foul on Madison...

or the holding on the Bradshaw TD run. Giants had their share of calls too, so quit your whining.

[sjdnb]

21. The night belonged to the Giants ...

congrats, best wishes, you'll get creamed by the Pats ... but, oh well

The Pack might have given the Pats a run for the money, but I predict the Giants vs Pats will be a blowout -- boring if not for the halftime show.

[trotsky]

25. Sorry you got the impression I'm a Giants fan.

Well, I guess you could say I was tonight. As the old saying goes, my two favorite teams are the Vikings and whoever is playing the PACKERS!

[FogerRox]

53. How about Toomers catch & down by contact, by a GB players foot.

...no I mean fumble........

But on the other hand the guy gaurding Plaxico was getting torched by Plax, so GB decided to get physical, too physical and Plax got thrown down good. I remember Toomer got away with a good shove on a db.I thought the game was not called at a high level by the refs.

[driver8]

28. The Giants almost beat the Pats the last week of the regular season.

It could be a good game.

[Marrah_G]

8. Yes- Brady is indeed at home

But soon he will be in AZ !

[Renew Deal]

14. You're full of it.

I love Favre, but the Giants won clean!

[babylonsister]

17. You betcha! And no one is surprised more than me that they're going to

THE SUPERBOWL, BABY! :toast:

[Renew Deal]

20. Maybe it's a sign for Obama

There are parallels.

[babylonsister]

27. The OP would HATE that!

:evilgrin: So yes, perhaps!

[sjdnb]

33. Actually, I'm so disgusted by both Clinton and Obama -- I don't

give a rat's ass what either achieve in the primaries or GE. Both have manipulated/obfuscated/spun the facts every which way from Sunday to promote their own self interests over the interests of Avg. Americans that I cannot, in good conscience, cast my vote for either. As I believed from the beginning, only Edwards, in this place and time, will truly serve the people.

[DainBramaged]

57. Then vote Reich wing and vote often

Another red X for posterity.

[Meshuga]

18. Sorry.. Packers lost fair and square n/t

[RetroLounge]

22. Oh quit your whining...

I watched the game, and I was rooting for the packers all the way.

they lost because Favre threw an interception.

Sheesh.

RL

[KitchenWitch]

24. I am officially taking your Bears Fan credentials away for rooting for the Pack today!

:P

[RetroLounge]

30. Oh, I had my reasons

I wanted Favre to go to the SB and win, then retire...

he won't retire now, ending his career on a stupid rookie-like interception *I* could have caught and ran back.

Now I have to put up with another season of All-Favre, All the time...

:shoot me now:

RL

[KitchenWitch]

31. Oh I know!

I just hope to hell that my Vikings will play better next year and that Favre will fade into a mildly painful memory.

[Kajsa]

34. But, but- Kitchy-

He LIVES in Wisconsin.


:shrug: ;-)

[RetroLounge]

35. Yes, but I'm FROM Chicago...

:D

RL

[Kajsa]

39. LOL!

I was born in Rockford, many years ago.

:D

[KitchenWitch]

36. Yah, I know.

I LIVE in California...

:rofl:

[Kajsa]

38. Ha!

Good point, my dear!

I live in CA and I'm a SeaHawks fan- 1st
Chargers fan- 2nd.

:rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

40. But who do you root for in Baseball?

:7

[Kajsa]

41. Halos!

No two ways about it.

You never saw Karl's room- a mini Angel's souvenir shop.

:D

[KitchenWitch]

44. Cool.

What does Karl think of the Angels getting Torii Hunter?

[Kajsa]

46. He's happy!

He likes Torii.

:D

[KitchenWitch]

48. It was bittersweet for me.

I will get to see him play a lot now...

[Kajsa]

50. I'm sure it was, Kitchy.

We are just getting to know him, here.

You will get to see him play a lot more, now.

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

52. He is really fun to watch out there in Center!

:D

[Kajsa]

54. I've got to see him!

I'm looking forward to next season.

:D

[sasquatch]

56. You can't start pulling peoples crdeintials until your Big Ten are reinstated

:P

[KitchenWitch]

58. Watch me!

:P

[Yavin4]

29. This Guy Agrees With You

http://youtube.com/watch?v=mow7gXW0uog

[sjdnb]

42. OK, I admit, I got emotional ... my dad, a die hard Packer fan, died a little more than a year ago

today ... and, I wanted them to win for him. Shame on me. And, I still believe, without the bias, one significant call was just plain wrong.

[Kajsa]

45. ---

I just lost my aunt one week ago.
I know.


:hug:

[Droopy]

47. It's alright, sjdnb

I bet your dad would have just enjoyed your company during the game, win or lose. A win would have been nice of course, but those memories of dad are better I bet.

I was rooting for the Packers, too, although I am a Bengals fan. I think they would have matched up better against the Pats on offense and would have had a better shot at winning in a shoot out. I'll always root for the underdog when my team isn't in it.

[sjdnb]

51. Your a kind soul ... thanks for understanding ... I just have to

support my dad's team, and it seems like everyone else is dissing it --- even though Brett is a great QB and the youngsters of the team performed far and above expectations.

[driver8]

71. Brett is a great QB -- but it takes a team to win, not just one guy.

The three (or four) penalties (including a cheap shot on Manning) allowed the Giants to keep a drive alive that should have been stopped. The Giants eventually scored a TD on that drive.

I'm sorry your Dad's team lost, but the Packers lost that game fair and square. Don't blame it on one call. (That was a legitimate catch, by the way.)

[LostinVA]

43. I'm NOT a Giants fan, but they earned that

Green Bay EARNED their flags.

[DainBramaged]

55. The Packers played for shit

Sour grapes




The Giants DOMINATED the play clock all night



Plexaco Burris kicked cheesehead ass all night



Cry me a river Pack fans

:nopity:

[rug]

59. I bet you're voting for Obama.

[Midlodemocrat]

60. Want some cheese with that whine?

:rofl:

[backwoodsbob]

62. this southerner will be watching

My wife used to babysit Bradshaw...rookie rb for the Giants :)

GO GIANTS!!!

[SPKrazy]

63. geez, whine much?

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

64. Want some cheese with that whine?

[bigwillq]

65. Oh please

Packers had their chances and couldn't get it done. Blame GB. There were some bad calls called against NY too but they were able to pull it out.

[Burma Jones]

68. The Giants are on fire right now

Had that play been called back, Burris would have just caught the next one, I mean, he was hauling in passes at will.

The Packers' Secondary was weak last night, their running game went extinct and Favre went inside when he should have gone outside on his last throw.

The Pack will be back, as will the Chargers.

I still think Joe Montana or Johnny Unitas is the best QB that ever lived.

[HERVEPA]

69. "The Show" is the major leagues in baseball. Super Bowl is not

The Show. 25 days until pitchers and catchers report.

[driver8]

70. Ha Ha -- the Giants OUT PLAYED the Packers...that is why they

are going to the Super Bowl. The Giants receivers ate the Packers secondary for lunch. I had to go back to my Tivo to see the play you are whining about. Sorry, you are wrong...that was a good catch.

You want to know another reason the Giants are going to the Super Bowl? Two fifteen yard penalties for cheap shots on third down which gave the Giants a first down and allowed them to eventually score a TD.

Thank God the Packers aren't going to the Super Bowl -- they don't deserve it.

[LeftyMom]

72. The best QB in football played his last season in 1994.

Farve was a damn good quarterback in his day, but was never that good.

[NoGOPZone]

73. I don't even link the Giants

but I'm not going to blame this one on the officials. Favre made some throws the 'greatest quarterback ever' shouldn't have made.
