Some of our remaining four readers will be disappointed by the fact that I am not, I repeat not, going to write about the Giants’ 17-14 win in Super Bowl XLII. I can’t think of anything that hasn’t been said already, by writers who are more eloquent and memorable than I am. I have nothing new to add to the growing legend of Eli Manning, David Tyree and “The Helmet Catch.” I have nothing new to add to the domination of New England’s offensive line by Michael Strahan, Justin Tuck, and the rest of the Giants’ front four. I have nothing new to add about Tom Coughlin’s ultimate vindication.
Other than talking about it still makes the roots of every hair on my head tingle, even ten days later. If I live to be a hundred, there may never be a Super Bowl quite like that one.

I’d write a legitimate article, but I may still be in cardiac arrest. It’ll be a damn fine two weeks to be a fan of the Big Blue, that’s for sure.
Regardless of what takes place the first Sunday in February, and it is most certainly not that I’m complaining, but we can all say that we’ve seen Eli Manning be the best quarterback in football for a solid month.
Even Eli’s stumped as to how this happened. (image courtesy of Atomic Sports Media)
Think about that. Think about that long and hard.
Scary.
There is only one way I will root for the Patriots. If the entire team and crowd at the stadium re-enacts the “Shipoopi” dance from the Family Guy episode Patriot Games.
Otherwise, I suppose I am forced to root for the Chargers and Marmalard.

I was out tonight, so I missed the Washington Redskins’ 24-16 win over the Chicago Bears. Of course, as I don’t have an extra fifty bucks a month to shell out for the cable package that includes the NFL Network, I’d have missed it anyway. Tonight, that’s neither here nor there.

Redskins backup quarterback Todd Collins completed 15 of 20 passes for 224 yards and two touchdowns in relief of the injured Jason Campbell. What amused me the most, though, was what you find when you click on the link for “Todd Collins” in ESPN.com’s recap.
That’s right… wrong Todd Collins. What’s a guy gotta do? No respect, I tell ya! No respect at all!
I just had to get this out there since it’’s beens tuck in my head for a couple weeks:
Vikings coach Brad Childress looks so much like Arrested Development character Tobias Funke, I half expect him to have his Analrapist card on him. No, no, it’s pronounced a-nal-ra-pist.
Separated at birth? Or is Brad Childress just a huge Arrested Development fan
Kudos to stallio!, my current and collegiate neighbor, on his latest venture. Head over to his blog and help him on his holy quest.
A classic post over at Hoosier Beer Geeks on the rules for Colts/Pats week.
And during what will most likely be the most hyped regular season game in the history of the NFL, Hoosier Beer Geek has come up with a list of rules that all loyal Hoosier beer geeks must follow to maintain their unique “Hoosier” beer geek status. Any deviation from these rules will automatically result in you being required to drink Coors Lite for the rest of your life and branded a traitor and labeled a Tom Brady babymomma (especially if you’re a dude).
Read the rules. Follow the rules. Help Good vanquish Evil.
Inspired by the brilliant Oliver Willis I decided to have some fun with Photoshop (actually GIMP but not as many people know what that is). Prepare for Armageddon At The Dome. There will be no mercy. Evil will be vanquished.
These are all based on actual WWII (and in once case WWI I think) propaganda posters.
