paul carruthers Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I guess as a lowly Dolphins fan, I should be rooting for the Patriots to lose, but I could care less either way. Prediction: Pats 31 Giants 24... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anjin-san Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Bingo posted the pictures, here's the video. I wonder if Montana still sees Jim Burt in his sleep........... Burt battled back problems with the New York Giants which ultimately caused Parcells to announce his retirement in 1988. Burt, however, was not ready to retire and instead joined the San Francisco 49ers for the 1989 season. He won his second Super Bowl with the team when they defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXIV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Jim Burt was always a John Madden favorite. That Giants D was pretty amazing back then....Marshall, Burt, Carson and of course the REAL L.T.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 after this weekend good ole joe can finally settle in at number 2 I will always think of Joe Montana as the greatest pressure qb of all-time. He had that air about him that he was never gonna lose the game for his team. So many great players at that position the past 25-30 years! That debate could rival where Jimmy Page ranks in the greatest guitarists list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hi Everyone: I am looking forward to the half-time show and Madonna...She will sing her new single featuring M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj.I hope she wil also sing Holiday,Vogue and Like a Virgin, She will not have a wardrobe malfunction. Juliet PS Have a super time... Hi Juliet! Thanks for bringing a little estrogen to this thread...it was starting to resemble and smell like a sausage factory. I am personally hoping Madge does "Ray of Light"...yes, I am a Madonna fan...and I think "Holiday" is a good possibility. I don't think "Like a Virgin" will pass Fox TV's muster...since Justin Timberlake ripped Janet Jackson's bra off, the networks are leary of anything that could offend the tv audience. Add in the fact that this Super Bowl is in bland Indiana, which probably still has "Blue Laws", and I think you can cross "...Virgin", "Papa Don't Preach", and "Justify My Love" off the list of songs she'll perform. "Holiday" and her new single with M.I.A. are obvious no-brainers for the setlist. Besides "Ray of Light"(easily one of my favourite Madonna Songs), I would also like to hear that song she did for the Austin Powers movie...imagine the costume and choreography possibilities for that one! Oh, and I think "Music" would be a good choice...and "Lucky Star" could be a possibilty. Strange as it may seem to some of you, I am looking forward to Madonna's halftime set more than I was to the Rolling Stones or Tom Petty's. Madonna's music has the surface sheen and commercial glitz that fits in with the corporate orgy of the Super Bowl better than the gritty, earthy likes of the Stones, Petty or Springsteen. I always watch those halftime shows with a mixture of horror and fascination. It was so jarring to me. But Madonna embraces the pop and commercial ethic...and I have no problem with that; I like pop...as long as it is good pop. Her doing the Super Bowl is a natural fit. Plus, her songs are more suited for the "medley" treatment which is standard in these halftime shows. And, she's American...sorry, I don't want no Limeys at my Super Bowl.

planted Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I have no, and I mean NO business in any sports thread. I am a total and embarassing dunce on the subject! However, I have just learned that a player for the Giants is battling Ewing's sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer. I am first a human being, so I will be quietly cheering for (among the Pats fans who don't have a friggin clue what this poor child has been through) this brave young man. You go, Mark Herzlich.

Strider Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hi all, Have fun Bro! Pick? KB Ok, but you may not like it. So I've tossed and turned this game around and around thru my admittedly damaged mind, and the time is at hand to finally decide which of the New's to put my money on...New England or New York? And for all the talk about Belichick and Brady and Eli and Cruz and the Giants D and Gronk's ankle and X's and O's and all that rigamarole, I am about to do the last thing you're supposed to do when gambling...bet with my heart not my head. For one thing, I like to cheer for the underdog...it's the romantic in me. The Patriots are the favourites, so my inner underdog tells me to pull for the Giants. Now, being a Raider fan and an AFL loyalist, when the Raiders are not in it, I tend to cheer for the AFC team, as most of the old AFL teams became AFC teams when the AFL-NFL merger went through. However, being that same said Raider fan, there are certain teams that are anathema, persona non grata...a Raider fan's bête noire. Teams that I cannot bring myself to cheer for, NO MATTER WHAT. The New England Patriots are one of those teams. Why, you ask? It's simple...and it comes down to a date: January 19, 2002. That, my friends, was the date of the AFC Divisional playoff game between the Oakland Raiders and the New England Patriots at Foxboro. Or as the game is colloquially known, the "Tuck Rule" game...or more accurately, the "Snow Job" game. Every fan of any team of any sport has those moments where your gut was punched, your heart ripped out of you by some dastardly deed, some fall-out-of-the-sky freak occurance that snatches sure victory away at the last second. Raider fans have two such "what the fuck just happened?!?" moments. One is Franco Harris' "Immaculate Reception" in a playoff game between the Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers in December 1972. The other and more recent is the "Snow Job" game 10 years ago. Part of me believes that that game played a significant part in Jon Gruden leaving the Raiders after that season. It was like he realized with that game that as coach of the Raiders, he would have to defeat not just the other team on any given Sunday...but also the League's and the ref's bias against the Raiders. He saw the writing on the wall and bailed. I CURSED the name of Brady and New England that snowy night in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The pain is still there, still lingers a decade later. I may respect Brady's game, but I'll be damned if I am going to cheer for him in a Super Bowl. I'm putting my money on the New York Football Giants. My pick is NYG - 27 NE - 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledzepfvr Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 ^^^^ OK ...... so you have your faults by picking the Giants. I'd still invite you for cake though. BTW...the hubby is a Patriot fan first and formost but his second favorite team is the Raiders. We have a difference there as I do not care for the Raiders. May the best team win.

LedZeppfan77 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Looking at the so called expert picks at CBS and ESPN 11 of 13 pick the Giants to win this game. And Prisco points out that the 2007 Patriots that almost had a perfect season were better than this Pats team and those Giants were not as good as this Giants team. So why on Earth are the Giants underdogs? I honestly believe there are two reasons. One, the regular season record of New England was much better than the Giants. And I honestly believe Vegas is doing a fine job of trying to conceal New England's flaws in this game. Giants win and win big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
