It was a very enjoyable game, regardless of the outcome. But Eli scrambling and avoiding that sack and then completing that pass that Tyree made the great catch on – wow. This could be one of the biggest upsets ever.

But the commercials were fairly disappointing. Some were good, but not many.

I was going to cede you the higher moral ground, Steinbrenner and Bellicheck are certainly not paragons of virtue, but then you confessed your Cowboy allegiance. If Steinbrenner and Bellicheck are the devil’s spawn, then Jerry Jones is his old man.

America,

I believe that you correct that the word hoodie was derived in inner city culture, but it’s since entered the common lexicon as a term describing urban and team fashion. I wanted to research the origins of the hoodie more thoroughly, but I’m afraid I must go pick up my shorties at their baby-mama’s place. Perhaps another time.

I call on all intelligent humans to resist using the term “hoodie” as it supports the further denigration of society by accepting, rather than rejecting, a culture that is based on immoral and anti-social behavior.

It seems as though regular citizens have no problem using the word “hoodie” yet would not call their home a “crib,” or a gun a “gat.” I suspect it is because it ends in “ie” and sounds soft and cuddly.

Not only that, but the fact that Bellicheck wears one is enough reason to reject everything about a HOODED SWEATSHIRT.

I agree with the differences on the two teams as far as spending goes. And thank you for your recognition of the nappy hoody comment.

Aside from spending, however, I dislike both teams due to the fact that they win most every year, have personalities on their teams that I do not care for, and Steinbrenner the GM and Bellicheck the coach. Brady and ARod seem cut from the same mold as well. Both are great players, but the problem for me is that they both seem to know they’re great and also seem to want everyone else to know it.

That being said, I cannot dispute the Patriots’ greatness. But that doesn’t mean I have to like it! ;o)

My true allegiance is to the Cowboys, and the Giants beat them in the NFC Championship. So I am torn between my hatred for the Patriots, and my disgust that the Giants are in the game at all instead of Dallas. For the Pats to go undefeated would be a great accomplishment. But I want to see the Giants prevent that from happening.

Also, as previously mentioned, I can’t stand Bellicheck’s hoodies. I think at the beginning of the season, he was the only one wearing them. But somewhere along the line I started noticing the entire New England coaching staff wearing them, too. Hoodies unite! Looks like he rolls out of bed and comes to the game. And perhaps he does.

Go Giants!

I must take issue with your Yankees comparison, although your nappy hoody comment goes unchallenged.

Unlike the Yankees who can spend freely on players and can dominate smaller market teams with their unlimited payroll, the Patriots operate under the same salary cap that every other NFL team does. That they continue to field winning teams, even as the players filter in and out, is a testament to their greatness.
