russdev Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Right this thread for me and Marc So who goiong to win superbowl this year I am going to say Giants over to you Marc (or anyone else who wants to have a stab) Also what going to be watching Sky or BBC. Russ
Diello Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Tough one... still pondering over it... You have to favour the Pats over the Giants on paper (& form!) - Brady vs. Little Manning, Maroney vs. Jacobs/Bradshaw. The stats all point in the Pats favour, only with the WR do the Giants have the upperhand with Toomer/Buress vs. Moss. Eli isn't Peyton, he's not ready for the big game, not yet anyway, there's to much of the Grossman about him, & we know what happened there! Also compare 16-0 to 10-6... Having said that... this is the NFL, and anything can happen, the NE bubble has to burst, it's the nature of the sport, you can't play at that level all the time, eventually, you're going to fall, and there's no greater stress than the SuperBowl, the Giants are the underdog, and they know it, the Pats are the favourite, and they know it, perhaps this will lead to the apple-cart being upset. If for no reason than the interest of parity, nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see the Pats fall, especially to the (so called) lowly NFC opponent, but, if I had to pick right now, I don't think I can go against the professionalism of Brady... The Pats to win 17-21... (I reserve the right to change this right up until the opening kick-off! hehe) Has to be the BBC for viewing... simply for Mike Carlson!!

GrumbleDook Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Birmingham Bulls to win? No? I'll get my coat.
Diello Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 DON'T WORRY? I'm a Dolphins fan! Hey... I'm a Lions fan... not MUCH better Hoping I get tickets for the game next year... was in the draw but never made it
russdev Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 On another note anyone up for mlb fantasy league might be able to get a prize or two for the winner of league etc.
comedydave Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 i don't understand NFL at all, but as a sports fan, always stay up with a beer and family size bag of doritos and watch it! I have picked the winner 3 years running. My money is on the Patriots this year!

Jake Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Hoping to take the monday off so I can recover from the game, would love the Giants winning, but I'm afraid that the cranial part of me thinks its going to the Patriots
russdev Posted January 22, 2008 Author Posted January 22, 2008 @Jake wimp some of us going to have to go to work Russ
Jake Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Hehe..I need my beauty sleep, got to keep my features smooth and pleasant for the ladies

Russ I would like to point to my previous post nobody believed me Russ
derer1 Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 I would like to point to my previous post nobody believed me Russ It suprised the hell out of a lot of people here - it's armageddon here in Boston!
torledo Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 patriots - best team in history my ass.........montanas 49'ers have a much better claim to that title. thrilling superbowl with amazing 4th quarter, great job by manning with that final drive to win the game for the giants. That escape from the sack and THAT catch in midfield on 3rd down was just the most amazing play Haven't watched an nfl game since C4 stopped showing highlights and the superbowls in the late 80's.....but that game was like a throwback to some of the great matches of that era. that game will have attracted some new fans for sure.
Jake Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 Surprised the beejesus out of me, I really didnt think that Eli was up for a superbowl match yet. Great game though, and to think some people claim NFL is boring !
Diello Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 A great SB! (I'm flippin' tired!) - Loved every minute. I'm happy as well -I may have lost the pick, but the team I wanted to win, won. (Always pick against the team you want to win, unless it's clear-cut, that way, you've always got something to be happy about). Shall be keeping a copy of this game - seeing Eli escape from that sack, amazing each time you watch it.
russdev Posted February 4, 2008 Author Posted February 4, 2008 @Diello Did you find somewhere in Derby to watch the game in the end? Russ
Diello Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Never made it to Derby unfortunately - was supposed to go up Friday on the train, but there was a derailment at Barrow-upon-Soar, so nothing was getting through. Ended up watching it at home.
russdev Posted February 6, 2008 Author Posted February 6, 2008 Yes forgot that would have stopped you train crash was about 10 minutes drive (at very most) from where I live Russ
Diello Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Yes, thought it'd be your neck of the woods. Going up for long weekend on Friday though.
