Yeah, it’s superbowl week.

I wish I could say that I’m excited but I’m not. I don’t like either team and I think I’m not alone.

Let’s break down the reasons, shall we?

The New York Giants: you have to start at the top with the coach. Tom Coughlin has a reputation of being the strictest coach in the league. Until this year, he was probably considered the most hated. (Just ask Tiki Barber, he’ll tell ya. In fact, he hasn’t shut up about it since he retired). Next in line is lil’ Eli Manning. I didn’t think he was that good of a college player and I thought his draft status was raised because of his family name. Then, of course, he refused to play for the team that drafted him. Come on people! I would’ve paid him to sit at home for four years! Rules are there for a reason! I guess you don’t have to obey them if your name is Eli.

The Giant receivers are a bunch of thugs but at least they catch the ball when mister inconsistency can get the ball somewhere near them. Strahan and the rest of the defense are definitely the strong half of the team. Every time I see the Giants I think of Phil Simms and my eardrums cringe. It is definitely a slight against your team, that the worst announcer in all of sports (And that includes ice skating and dodgeball) used to play for your team and is considered one of the best Giants of all time.

The New England Patriots: Cheaters!!! Yes, I know that they are undefeated going into the superbowl…..get your asterisks ready. Bill Belichick has got to be one of the grumpiest human beings alive. Talk about excitable, man I get goosebumps hearing him speak! (The previous sentence is steeped with sarcasm) Spygate is his legacy and every victory since, or before, are tainted and should be stricken from the record books!

Tom Brady is considered one of the best quarterbacks since Joe Montana….but I don’t think so! Honestly, I believe he is a great player but I can’t get past his alma mater. Unlike some people around here, I don’t believe you leave your school behind, just because you went to the pros. My scarlet and gray vision refuses to let me see Brady as anything other than a Michigan quarterback. I could never root for a player from Michigan! I know that Wolverine fans respect that because I wouldn’t expect them to root for a Buckeye.

Then there’s Randy Moss. Once a thug, always a thug! Just because you put a thug player on a good team, it doesn’t make him any less of a thug. It’s a shame that someone with that kind of talent, admittedly, takes plays off. I know he set a record this year but think of how good he could be if he played hard every play. Check out names like Steve Smith and Jerry Rice, Randy, and then you’ll understand what working all about.

Finally, we have the Patriot defense. One of the oldest defenses in the NFL, they have struggled as of late. The one redeeming value on the defense is Mike Vrabel. (who just happens to be a Buckeye)

Will I watch the superbowl….yeah, I’ll watch it, but I predict it will be one of the least watched superbowls in history.

All I can hope for Is that Paula Abdul will show up drunk and accidently trip Randy Jackson, who will fall on top of Tom Petty causing him to not perform all of his washed up nasally songs……and maybe this year the commercials won’t suck.

Giants 24 Patriots 20 I hope Tom Brady cries!!!!
