Consider this an open thread for tonight’s big Patriots/Giants game. Game time is 8:15. For all of us who aren’t privileged enough to have the NFL Network channel, it will be simulcast on NBC and CBS.

Predictions, anyone?

For the ladies who read this blog who couldn’t care less about football, here’s something to get your motor runnin’ in case your guy will be glued to the tube this evening. The gent below is QB for the 16-0 Patriots (he wears the number 12).

Here’s another, posted back during last season’s playoffs.

Rather makes the game worth watching, eh? :D

Related: On a somewhat more serious note, my friend Patrick O’Hannigan, a thoughtful writer, has a piece up about the spirit of competition in sports.

Halftime Update: The Giants have put up a very impressive first half showing, and scored a touchdown with seconds left in the first half to go into the locker room up 21-16 over the Pats.

Final Update: The Giants played their hearts out, but in the end it wasn’t enough as Brady and the Pats win 38-35.

  1. What would make this game worth watching for ME is getting to see that pretty face shoved in the turf on every possession. ;)

    Go Giants! :d

  4. The first challenge has been thrown. I say it was a completed pass.

  5. Wow - Giants score on their opening drive. Impressive.

  6. Damn if Brady isn’t an excellent QB. :)

  7. Yes, my brother called during halftime and I tried to tell him not to get excited. The Giants have a way of sucking you in to thinking they are going to win, and then they turn back into the Giants.

    They did play a good game, it’s just disappointing that they could have easily won the game, but blew it again.

    Oh, so typical.

    :(

    At least the NY Rangers won. whoopee…….

  8. Well so much for cynical moi’s prediction that the Giants wouldn’t try hard. In a craptastic sports year of Bonds, Clemens, doped bike racers, and crooked NBA refs, it’s gratifying to see that Coach Coughlin played his regulars right to the end, so that the Pats victory wasn’t tainted in any way. After the Pats went up by 10 points, I figured he’d just pull in his claws and call running plays and get outta there, but no.

    So, ok, the Giants who were injured would have gone back in if this were next week, but that was too much to expect.

    Only Coach Hoodie would have called the same play to Moss after he’d dropped the ball, and expected him to suck it up and catch it this time. Which he did.

    I had the Giants radio audio on and play by play guy Bob Papa thought that defensive holding call on the Giants after they’d sacked Brady was ticky tack, but on the replay it sure didn’t look tickytack to me.

    And Mike Carey did even things out (just kidding, Mike–I know you didn’t do that) by calling that excessive celebration penalty on Moss (which personally I didn’t think should have been called (he was just having fun), which led to that Giant kickoff runback.
