Giants vs. Patriots...Holy Cannoli, It's Almost Here!
Jan 31, 2008 | 4:38PM | report this

Are you ready? It's like Christmas...did you shop? Where are you watching the game? Did you buy matching plates and napkins? Beer cozies? What will you wear? I'm stressed out and I'm just a Jets fan! And I've nothing to blog! Bloglessness again!

Someone clicked on an old post I made for the Super Bowl last year...a "Twas the Night Before Super Bowl" parody... I read it again...totally don't remember writing it! Read it here...

Now I'll have to come up with another one for our NY Giants and those other guys from that New England place with that what's-his-name quarterback...oh, the pressure...

Or a post on Super Bowl foods...that's always fun but they make me hungry.

Or maybe I'll just nap and you guys can write and I'll read it...I'd be fine...with...that....zzzzz..

Go Giants!

It's been oddly quiet for Super Bowl week. I can hardly wait. Haven't seen Tom Petty on TV in years.

Carolyn, it was more fun during the World Series, when New York didn't have a team involved, so you could become a Boston fan, even if only temporarily. We still have room on the bandwagon here in New England if you choose to come over for a couple of days, although as a Jets fan that doesn't seem likely, does it?

Fans of 31 teams are pulling against NE and the NE fans don't get it. Too bad.

Oh we get it - believe me we get it. We just don't care about ALL those other 31 teams rooting against us. We believe in our PATRIOTS. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You will see come Sunday. 19-0. Watch and Learn. GO PATS!!

Is it the real Tom Petty or Pettymania? Cause those guys sucked at Great Adventure they did Breakdown in the key of Bb and the lead clarinetist was just awful...everything had an Oom-Pa-Pa beat...

Wait a minute maybe that was Polka Al & the Polka Explosion at the Sheboygan Pirogi Fest...they did a tribute to the Stones, if you closed your eyes and imagined Mick Jagger was one of those tiny accordions, well it was magic, yes-sir-ee...

I remember why Pettymania sucked they had a Goth chick singer who kept mumbling about her friends from high school and something about they all wore the same color raincoats in between every song and they were at Disney World cause all of a sudden the power to the stage was cut off and It's a Small World started blaring from the PA speakers and everything was OK again...

Petty, Patriots and Mannings, oh my! It will be something to watch, Dudski. Do you think Petty will have a wardrobe malfunction? Could be scary!

Half - how's that baby? = ) Yeah, I'm thinking it's not likely I'll pull for the Patriots. They'd revoke my Jets fan membership card. It's bad enough I'm bandwagoning that blue team.

husker...yeah, we Jets fans have had a chip on our shoulder since September...if 31 teams want to join in, too, that's fine with me. Someone better tell Tom Brady, though. As if it would matter. Sigh.

Rev, Huh? You lost me, bachelor-man.

kitty...uh, hi.

Carolyn,

Over 10 billion dollars is expected to be bet on Super Bowl XLII by over 200 million individuals worldwide. Less than 1% of that money will be wagered legally in Nevada.

There is your topic.
