The Patriots and our ego-maniacal leader expected to be competitive with the Giants, that their skill and intelligence would get them what they wanted, but they forgot that you have to go out there and take it. So what if Matt Light made the Pro Bowl, he played that game like he was entitled to stop the G-Men with that small honor and whatever skill set he wielded. That was NOT enough ... Asante Samuel held out in the pre-season, had a strong regular season, but showed nothing in the Super Bowl ... the ball HIT HIM IN THE HANDS!!!! That is a play that, once again, a Pro Bowl player NEEDS to make! I could go on forever with this!!

When I found out it was the Giants to be in the big game, for the first time all year I was very nervous about the team finishing the season perfect.

Was I watching “Jerry Maguire 2” Sunday night after the Giants/Cowboys game? T.O.’s tearful comments to the press came off as the emotional climax of a melodramatic Rod Tidwell scene. Where’s the T.O. we all know and love (except for the love part)? Why wasn’t he ripping Tony Romo for his previous week’s exploits or ripping Jason Garrett for limiting him in the second half? Where’s the negativity which reared its ugly head in Philadelphia and San Francisco? What’s with the teammate act he’s trying to pass off as genuine? Is it just another media ploy or is this the new Terrell Owens?

Even as recently as this past weekend prior to the Giants/Bucs kickoff, the FOX studio crew was pondering which Eli would show up? The Good Eli or the Bad Eli? And yet as recently as halftime during the same game, the same studio crew was praising Eli saying that we may be witnessing the coming of age of the young quarterback.
