Don't Count Your Chickens...

A picture truely is worth a hundred words.

They say pride goeth before a fall and in the case of the 18-1 Patriots this is certainly true. Just watch the clip of Tom Terrific responding to Plax's prediction of a Big Blue victory by a score of 20-17, or any of the Beantown bloggers who were predicting a humiliation of the G-Men of epic proportion. And make no mistake, this was a game of epic proportion, just not quite the way all the talking heads and sports pundits called it.

And even in the aftermath of one of the greatest Super Bowls of all time, one of the greatest upsets of all time, one to rival Broadway Joe's famous guarantee, many of the experts still can't give the Giants their due. I've heard all kinds of explanations and rationalizations to account for the Pats stunning loss. The fact is, the Giants were just plain better in all phases of the game and just gave New England an old fashioned a** whoopin'. They took 'em out behind the woodshed and tanned their hides. So hats off the the G-Men and let's not rush to crown Boston as the center of the sports world just yet.
