I have got a TON of court cases to process tomorrow at work (the new NYC Noise Code revisions are keeping me knee deep in violations) but I will be taking time out at lunch time to head over to the Mets Clubhouse Store on 42nd ST to pick up a SANTANA 57 black Mets t-shirt. Hopefully I’ll be strolling down the street toward 8 ave and Modells to pick up a NY GIANTS SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS t-shirt as well.
This week could be an off the charts for NY sports. If the GIANTS win the Super Bowl word on the street is there will be a parade and rally at City Hall, just down the street form my office. This is surprising as the last two times the Giants won the Super Bowl the City of New York never acknowledge the feat. The Giants had a rally in Giants Stadium so this is a real change of heart by city officials.
Then on Wednesday, we break out the sandwiches and chicken fingers at Shea (I hope Jeffy buys the Boars Head cold cuts this time ) for what could be the last great news conference held in the old place as Johan Santana is introduced to the media and fans of the Blue and Orange. Less than two weeks until pitchers and catchers which we know is the sure sign that spring is around the corner and not what some ugly rodent tells us.
I can not read, see, or hear anymore Super Bowl reports for God sake play the game already!!!!!!!!!! I was out with a bunch of Giants fans last night and before they were liquored up pretty good these guys were WAY to over confident for me. In fact when I mentioned that everything about the Giants game plan is what they should not do (can’t score field golds must score TD’s , can’t have turnovers, can’t get in a shootout with Brady, can’t give Brady time in the pocket) and everything about the Patriots game plan is what they can do (score TD’s one every offensive possession, run the ball as well as pass, drop linebackers in underneath coverage) I was looked at like I was a government informant. I’m just stating facts fella’s, and beside I’m the only one with an Eli Manning jersey when Eli Manning jersey’s weren’t cool.
GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the fans faith in the Giants is a bit misguided because they kept close with the Pats in their regular season game and yes, they Giants are playing their best football of the season in the past month …but… It is going to take so many things to go wrong for the Pats to lose tonight. I’m talking, turnovers, injuries, bad calls, key penalties all wrapped in one along with the Giants playing the game of their life to pull this out. No, I am not a Pats fan. Actually, I dislike them and never wanted them to finish undefeated but I dislike the Giants even more. I can’t stand Strahan and I’m not a Burress fan either although i completely respect that he’s played injured all year. My least favorite player is Shockey. Couple years ago, I saw the Giants play the Cowboys and all I saw was Shockey jerseys all over, must have been 20,000 shocky jerseys. The next day after the Cowboys beat them, Shockey critisized the fans for not supporting them. I was incredulous.
Yep, as usual, another long winded post by me
Personally, I want football, hockey and for the love of God, basketball to be over with ASAP even though hockey and basketball playoffs last for, what, 3 months each?
I want to sit in my chair, with an ice cold beer in hand watching Johan Santana walk to the mound for the first time in a Mets uni on my 55″ HD T.V. and proceed to pitch a 2 hit shutout with 14 K’s.
