A rematch of a good Superbowl a few years ago. Both the Giants and Patriots deserve to be there though both teams they beat pretty much beat themselves or gift wrapped victories for them. Should be a fun game never the less but now we gotta hear this whole New York vs Boston Bullshit for the next two weeks (Yes I know New England represents the region but lets be real) and its not even spring yet. Jim Harbaugh btw where are you now big man? where those nifty quotes or shit grins? His press Conference just says everything I need to know about him.

All this is really proving is that talking a big game doesn't mean shit. Look at both Coughlin and Billy B. They use an old school approach to the game, strict play callers, NO BS guys, they don't play to anyone but themselves, they're all business. Sean Payton, Mike Tomlin, Tony Dungy, Mike McCarthy, Coughlin, Belichick, all these guys are play callers and plain football coaches, they've also won Super Bowls. Now you have guys like the Harbaughs, Jim Schwartz, and Rex Ryan who are all talk, guys that pride themselves more on talking than coaching. They have good seasons, but can't win big ones, they have teams who are not disciplined and it shows in big games. They get outmatched and out played, and we saw perfect examples of that today. I don't like the hoodie at all, but I would rather be coached by his approach, a master of the game rather than some guy who just talks and makes the players do all the work. There are more new school coaches in the game, but the elder approach is working best, always has.

I love the Hoodie. I think his approach is one of the greatest in all of sports. Especially his ability to take on 'problem' players. 6 or 7 Superbowls - winning 5. 7 odd Championship Games. 16 - 0. He is one hell of a coach.

Looks like Coughlin is going to be around for a while. I was listening to the Giants.com radio, at the beginning of the season and some of the callers were talking 'fire Coughlin, get rid of Eli' etc etc. Now they go through the Falcons, Packers and 49ers. Its annoying that when they are on it, they can beat anyone, but when they have their off days - its bad.

If the Giants beat the Patriots (which I dont think they will this time) wont they have the worst record (9-7) for a Supberbowl winning team since they won it in 2007 (10 -6 ) and the Packers last year?

Ugh....

I'm not looking to two weeks of NY/BOS media coverage for the Super Bowl. Time to have the "Eli is elite" dildo shoved down our throats for 14 days...

Eh, what the fuck are you talking about? Jim Harbaugh turned a 6-10 into a 13-3 team with virtually the same players from the aforementioned 6-10 team. Further, he took them within moments of the Superbowl. Hell, he's likely to be coach of the year and deserves it: Unlike Ryan, etc., he didn't talk or make guarantees; he won. Did you even see the play-off game in which the 49ers beat the Saints? Hell, they went to-to-toe with the likely eventual Superbowl champs who completely dismantled a supposedly unbeatable Green Bay team on their home-turf. The Giants are no joke; but, neither are the 49ers. Also, you mention "old school football?" Uh, that's what the 49ers are now known for playing: Rugged defense, special teams and running the ball (did you not see Manning get sacked 6 times or a running back get so hard that his mouthpiece went flying?). Save for two bone-head plays by the same player, that team is in the Superbowl; coaching had nothing to do with those mistakes. For fuck's sake, the 49ers were down to 2 wide-receivers and only one real receiving threat (Davis) who showed up and caught the team's only two touchdowns. Despite that loss, the future looks bright for the 49ers: They are one of the youngest teams in the league, they will have another year with the same coaching staff, their quarterback is clearly improving and there will be organizational continuity for the first time in a decade. So, for people (like you) who try to find some random reason to hate the 49ers, too bad: They are going to be in the Superbowl mix for the foreseeable future.
