I'm excited. Can't wait for the game tomorrow. I'm not sure I can do my necessary work in the hours building up to it. Anyway. I am not going to put anything past the Giants. The Pats were underdogs 7 years ago and won. Naturally, I think and want the Pats will/to win.

Boo yah! GO PATRIOTS!!!!!!

turtle777 · Feb 2, 2008, 10:31 PM

It'll be alright

gofridge promising to buy a Citizen watch was the incentive Eli Manning needed to defeat the evil Packers in the NFC Championship Game. gofridge wonders if promising to buy a second Citizen watch if the Giants win the Super Bowl or a Movado watch if the Patriots would get both quarterbacks to work harder.

The spread is 12, in favor of the Patriots. Here's one to hoping for the Giants.

MrForgetable · Feb 2, 2008, 11:30 PM

Giantsssssss

Ghoser777 · Feb 2, 2008, 11:41 PM

Not sure, but I don't think the Pats have beat the spread this postseason, so I have little cred in that.

Jawbone54 · Feb 3, 2008, 01:34 AM

I never thought I'd ever in my life say this, but...

Go Giants.

gobo · Feb 3, 2008, 05:38 AM

gobo knows that there is no reason to get excited about the Super Bowl when the Raiders are not in it.

ghporter · Feb 3, 2008, 08:28 AM

My only real problem with the Super Bowl is that it's usually a fair (not great) game that's spread out over a whole evening. You get way more time to bond with VERY expensive commercials than to see the teams you rooted for (or against) actually play. Not that regular season games are "all play" by any means, but the Super Bowl is more the "Super Commercial Bowl."

I have mostly given up on actively watching any pro sports because of this kind of stuff. I watch basketball with a friend because she's a rabid fan and won't miss a televised game if she can help it, but even she complains about how little game is there in between commercials. I stopped watching NFL games except on certain holidays with certain people because of this too. College sports are almost as bad, but at least the commercials include stuff about the schools involved. What's really the thing is to go to an actual college football game between schools that are not in one of the huge conferences. I used to take in a Texas State game now and then (back when they had their real name, "Southwest Texas State") and between the sideline stuff and the bands, it was quite a show.

I expect to get everything I might possibly get about the Super Bowl online tomorrow morning. And while there's probably no chance to accidentally see another of Janet's piercings, I'm sure there will be something for everyone to go gaga about. Enjoy the game-I'll be watching the "Enterprise" marathon or something.

Sherman Homan · Feb 3, 2008, 09:37 AM

The Pats and Jints played a pot boiler in December! I am hoping for a similar great game with great commercials. I hope Janet Jackson will be watching somewhere far from the half time stage...

helric · Feb 3, 2008, 10:00 AM

The winner (mark my words) will be the one with the most points . GO

Dork. · Feb 3, 2008, 10:05 AM

The winner will be Tom Brady, who gets to go home to his supermodel girlfriend win or lose.

You have somehow managed to go from lame and tired further down to sad and boring.

Well done.

Wouldn’t “further down” from lame and tired be paraplegic and asleep?

(And: Super Bowl Schmuper Bowl. I’m so glad I’m not working tonight, or I’d be force-fed Super Bowl live footage with commentaries.)

exca1ibur · Feb 3, 2008, 04:45 PM

Let's go Giants.

Use your radios, your hand signals might get taped.

gofridge would like to know. Does voodoo work for Breitling, or Tag Heuer?

Is this about bashing Citizen watches now? I love mine: an Ecodrive that's not only more accurate than any analog watch I've ever owned, but looks great-and was a present from my wife. It looks a lot like gofridge's picture, but with a stainless band. Not that I don't like Swiss watches, but that I don't dislike any quality watches.

Atomic Rooster · Feb 3, 2008, 07:42 PM

Football is sooooo gay.

abe · Feb 3, 2008, 08:15 PM

I was waiting for the Patriots to make an interception.

Ads: WTF ?

I have never seen so many boring, lame and average ads in such a short period of time.

I believe I pointed that out eight posts above yours

abe · Feb 3, 2008, 09:19 PM

I also liked the Pepsi spot where everyone was nodding out. That was pretty funny.

Ghoser777 · Feb 3, 2008, 09:22 PM

The Chris Kattan spot made the ad.

I liked that touch. I sensed SNL.

THE BRIDGESTONE TIRES spots were good, too!

turtle777 · Feb 3, 2008, 09:44 PM

Gawd, someone shot Troy "I mean" Aikman.

I mean, WTF ?

abe · Feb 3, 2008, 09:52 PM

It's really a great defensive struggle.

Pardon the cliché.

turtle777 · Feb 3, 2008, 09:55 PM

Yeah, a struggle to stay awake

Become a fan of the process and you will find it fascinating.

The process of falling asleep ?

abe · Feb 3, 2008, 10:00 PM

Yeah. That's the one.

Ghoser777 · Feb 3, 2008, 10:02 PM

Much better than a blow out.

Ghoser777 · Feb 3, 2008, 10:06 PM

Go Giant Stewie! Damn Charlie Brown.

abe · Feb 3, 2008, 10:09 PM

I have fallen asleep during a couple of SB's when the outcome was already determined.

Not this one.

Ghoser777 · Feb 3, 2008, 10:11 PM

Wow! The Giant's are giving the Patriots all they can handle.

abe · Feb 3, 2008, 10:12 PM

OMG!

The Giants have the lead at 11:05 remaining in the game.

10 - 7 NY

Ghoser777 · Feb 3, 2008, 10:55 PM

This could be quite the finish! Did you see that catch?

turtle777 · Feb 3, 2008, 10:56 PM

OMG OMG OMG OMG

The Giant's got a TD.

35 sec to go.

turtle777 · Feb 3, 2008, 10:57 PM

Now I'm gonna ~~eat my Citizen watch~~ drink a beer

Ghoser777 · Feb 3, 2008, 10:57 PM

Is 35 seconds enough for Tom Brady? I'd love to see OT.

turtle777 · 11:10 PM

Booooooyah !

The Pats are dead ! 18:0 -> 18:1

Ghoser777 · Feb 3, 2008, 11:05 PM

Dammit - now the 72' Dolphins will pop that champaign again.

turtle777 · Feb 3, 2008, 11:06 PM

This has got to be the biggest NFL upset EVAR.

Ghoser777 · Feb 3, 2008, 11:08 PM

Bears 85 > Patriots 07

ironknee · Feb 3, 2008, 11:09 PM
