Not So…SUPER BOWL!
What a shootout that game turned out not to be. Yawn! I couldn't figure out what was worse: the second, third and 3/4 of the fourth quarters or the commercials. What an awful game that was to watch. There were times in the game where I had to pry my eyes open with a crow bar. That was almost as bad as watching the Seahawks-Steelers Super Bowl from a few years ago. 7-3 for 3/4 of the game with nothing happening.
I sit here and think that one play determined the outcome of the game. And no I am not talking about the sack Eli squirmed out of and then completed the pass downfield to David Tyree. I am talking about New Englands decision to go for it on fourth down rather than kicking the field goal. Had they kicked that one field goal then the touchdown pass to Burress would have only sent the game into O.T. So once again the Giants didn't win as much as the Patriots blew it.
Being an Eagles fan it pains me ever more to see the Giants walk off the field with the Lombardi trophy. UHHHH!!! And worse than that was seeing "Little Eric Lindros" Eli Manning winning a Super Bowl. Let's not forget the draft day antics of one Eli Manning as he boo-hoo'ed that he didn't want to play for the Chargers. WAAAAAHHH!!!! Eli, revel in the fact that the Eagles passed on Plaxico as a free agent (another showing of Andy Reid's inability to pick up a decent receiver). Now I have to listen to Giants fans gloat about winning the Super Bowl. This also means that in the past 20 years every current team in the NFC East has won the Super Bowl minus the Eagles.
Well now the season is officially over and I can now focus my attention on all the pitching moves that the Phillies have yet to make as the Mets bolster their lineup with a Cy Young Award winner in Johan Santana.
How long until pitcher and cathers report? Let's Go Phillies!!!
I almost forgot, congrats Charlie! As an Giants-Eagles fan you must be proud. And yes I am eating crow at this point. I didn't and still won't give Eli enough credit!
