Giants v Patriots -- Sunday, February 3rd
University of Phoenix Stadium -- Glendale, Arizona

The stage is set for America's biggest sporting event, a rematch of the Patriots 38-35 season finale win over the Giants -- this time for all the marbles...

Giants prevail in OT, 23-20
Good news Eli and Tom Coughlin you don't stink -- you're going to the Super Bowl! What everyone said about you guys all year -- fahgettabout it. The third tyne was a charm* for the team that just won't seem to quit. The New York defense held the cheeseheads when it counted late in the game several times and the offense led by an error-free Manning and a possessed Plaxico Burress was enough to get the G-men back to the grand stage for the first time since 2000. Amhad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs once again teamed up for some solid ground work and a pair of crucial touchdowns. In frigid temps with a wind chill of minus 31, Brett Favre was denied a third Super Bowl appearance, 10 years after he last played in the big game. His overtime interception was a tough way to end a great season and perhaps a HOF career.

Patriots move closer to absolute perfection, 21-12
Despite a relatively shaky Tom Brady, the Pats were still good enough to takeout the banged-up Chargers, pulling out a 21-12 victory that sent them back to the NFL Super Bowl for the fourth time in seven seasons. Laurence Maroney was in key in rushing for 122 yards on 25 carries

They're the only team in NFL history to start out with 18 straight victories -- and will look to cement themselves as the best ever with a win in two weeks. "I think there will be a time to sit back and reflect,'' Bill Belichick said. "We'll certainly enjoy this for a few days.''

And I will enjoy posting pictures of Tom and the Stetson campaign for the next couple of weeks
