New England and New York In Super Showdown


OK, Super Bowl XLII is set. New England is going to try to remain perfect against New York.
My thoughts are that I'm so happy for the Giants Eli Manning and sad for the Packers Brett Favre. Nonetheless, Manning was super in his effort in a frigid Green Bay. The way these Giants play on the road they should give Giants Stadium to the Jets and travel all the time.

If I had to deal with the New York press I would want to play on the road all the time too.

The Giants have a tough defense and have now won 10 consecutive games outside of New Jersey.

New England and New York played a good game in Week 17 with the Pats winning.

New England's win Sunday was not impressive, but it counted.

Tom Brady was picked off three times, including one in the endzone for the first time in more than two years. Randy Moss, Wes Welker and Donte' Stallworth were average at the best.

However, Laurence Maroney ran for 122 yards and Jabar Gaffney count the game-winning pass.

The big question for Super Bowl XLII is simply which streak is the biggest accomplishment, 10 consecutive wins on the road for New York or 18-0 this season for the Patriots.

Either way, the winning team will provide a good storyline.

The New England players might show up at the Super Bowl media day with their camcorders Don't the Patriots record everything?
