Super Bowl XLII
Giants v Patriots

At Last!!




Boston and New York go at it once again tomorrow night, -- well Foxborough v East Rutherford -- but whatever

In a rematch of the Week 17 thriller, unbeaten New England will play the wild-card football Giants in Glendale, Ariz. The match-up has been built as a David v Goliath match for the in the build-up to the game. Lots have been made over nothing in the last two weeks: Brady's boot, Plax's prediction, Pats cheating and somehow Tiki Barber even still gets his mentions....Now its finally time to get it on.

Can the Giants get enough pressure on Brady and can they run the ball seem to be the two biggest issues facing New York heading into the big one. The week 17 game has shown that the Giants can hang with the Pats, but it will be interesting to see if they can do it on America's grandest stage.

One thing is for sure, if the Pats do not win -- this idea that people are going to forget this team if they lose is dumb. It will leave a sour taste in New England's moth, but in running off 18 games without a loss they have already proven that they are one of the best teams of all time. The Giants stand in the way of them becoming perhaps the best.

Prediction: 23-17 Giants (your my boy Plax!)

Uconn v Pitt

The mess of weedgate might be about over, at least we are at the move on point. It appears that Wiggins was not smoking grass in the parked car where he and Jerome were found with booze last Thursday. Wiggins will return to practice today and may very well come off the bench on Saturday after serving a two game sentence.

Unfortunately the news was not soo good for Dyson. His drug test came back positive and thus he will be sitting until March as this is his second failed urine test while at Uconn. Personally I am too tired of the whole story to get into the whole "Calhoun vs Hathaway" or "Uconn Basketball vs the Connecticut media" arguements -- Its all very tired to me at this point. The players on the roster need to start having more respect for what they are involved with and start playing by the rules, everything else will fall into place.

This Saturday Uconn will host a tough Pitt squad at the XL Center looking for win 5 in a row, as the off court issues keep tarnishing what is happening on the floor, there seems to be a resolve within the guys playing that has not been seen in Storrs for a couple of years. Stanley Robinson and Craig Austrie actually seem to be benefiting from the dire situation. They and team leader AJ Price will be key as they fight a very big and physical Panther squad, who due to injuries has been playing shorthanded for about a month now.
