The Steelers Win the SuperBowl

Posted on by

Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers for winning the SuperBowl. The Arizona Cardinals gave them a bit of a run in the second half of the game, but not quite enough to win. I don’t really have too many thoughts on this game other than that I found it incredibly boring for the first 55 minutes.

Maybe I’m biased as a Giants fan, but I thought last year’s SuperBowl was much more intense and a better game overall. I have to think that this year’s game will be among the lowest rated in recent history. Anyway, the Steelers make history with six SuperBowl championships and the Cardinals go home and start thinking about next year.

And America wonders how/why a 9 – 7 team managed to be in the SuperBowl in the first place!

Half-Time Thoughts on Giants vs. Eagles

Posted on by

What I’ve noticed so far watching this game is that the Giants aren’t performing like the defending SuperBowl champions (except Brandon Jacobs, that is) and the Eagles aren’t capitalizing on this opportunity. Seriously – who gets a safety? I digress. This game is competitive, but it’s competitive at a lower level than I would expect in the playoffs.

The Giants have not been creative enough in their play calling and with Eli Manning having a so-so game so far, it would be a good idea for Kevin Gilbride to pull some type of card from up his sleeve. I’m not talking about trick plays because I hate that shit in the NFL, but something other than Jacobs this way and Jacobs that way.

The other observation I have about this game is the penalties. I hate when the referees become a third team on the field. Let the Giants play the Eagles and stay out of the damn way, for Christ’s Sake. There’s nothing worse than when two good teams like the Giants and Eagles get together and the game is marred to any degree by the officiating staff.

Anyway, here’s hoping for the Giants to rally and take control in the second half!
