If you liked their last regular season match-up, you'll LOVE the sequel. This year's Super Bowl might actually be exciting for something other than the commercials!

Exciting? It's going to be a blow-out. Their regular season game was a fluke. And I'm depressed. I hate them both. |

I'm not a football fan, but if the Giants can come to the frozen tundra in subzero weather and beat the Packers on their home turf, maybe they're tuff enough to win. |

I'm confused and know nothing about sports, but, I thought the Patriots and the Packers were two different teams? |

The Giants beat the Packers to make it to the Super Bowl, where they'll play the Patriots.

Ah, ok. So who do I root for? I live in New England but I'm really close to New York.
I'll be working on Superbowl Sunday, I'm sure. If it happens in January or February, there is no doubt. So I guess it doesn't really matter anyway 
I have to go to work and find the Superbowl pool. I hope there is one this year... the woman who usually runs it should have had her baby this weekend. |

I.
Hate.
Tom.
Brady.
'nuff said...even though The Garage (aka Jeff's Man Cave) was a depressing place last night, we'll all be rooting for the Giants. We all think Brady is lower than scum.

Around here there are both Giants fans and Patriots fans. Based on who your grandfather rooted for, I hear.
I'm not a football fan, but I watch a Pats game now and again. I'd like to see them go all the way, partly because it'll piss certain people off.
So it couldn't be all bad. |

I am in mourning. The Seahawks tanked, so did the Cowboys. So, how 'bout them Wings?  |

Is Tom Brady a scumbag because of the child out of wedlock thing? Or is there another reason? Just checking, because, the child out of wedlock thing, well, let's just say there are a bunch of children out there with interesting quarterback DNA.
RE: LT. We were joking around saying that after he was pulled out of the game due to injury, he probably gave his helmet and uniform to the towel boy and he was off clubbing during the second half. With the Darth Vader helmet, who could tell if he was even there?

Uh. We despise the Giants. We don't like the Pats either. But in this case, it is a matter of which is worse. So the Giants win. We root for the Pats.
There is just something in the inner self of a poor declining Eagles fan that won't let her root for the Giants. So Pats it is. Again.

Yeah, it's hard for this Bills fan to root for the Giants, but I can't stand the Pats being "perfect," so for once Hubby and I are pulling for the same team.

Apparently, I root for the Giants. I only know this because a lot of my coworkers had blue and red on. I asked why I didn't get the memo that we were all wearing a specific color today, and they said that we'll be doing it again on 2/1... the last day we work before the Superbowl. Oh, and I'm told to bring my camera that day so we can put the pic in the newsletter. |

If you're in Fairfield County in Connecticut, then you are indeed a Giants fan. Most New Englanders believe the Connecticut Panhandle was lost to New York long, long ago.

I was a Giants fan in high school, and I'm a Giants fan now.
If you ask me the players, I'll still tell you LT, Phil Sims and that crew, but I'm rooting for the Giants all the way!
Woo Hoo!! |

Trust me Elizabeth, I am not a bona fide Pats fan, but I am on their side for this game. As a diehard Eagles fan, I cannot root for the Giants.
My son is a true Philadelphia Eagles fan. His roommate is a true Giants fan. They have split their window with decorations all season, half Eagles, half Giants. Now Ted took down the Eagles stuff and put up Patriots. Last night when the Giants won, his roommate was dancing. Ted called, he couldn't stand it.
