That true. Nobody care about '72 Redskins or for that matter '42 Bears. One team goes down in history the other is a footnote.

Let em, they would be stupid let let Barber get away.

I don't get it.... the only position the Dolphins don't need help with is RB.

I want Tom Brady's death. And the entire city of Boston to burn down. And all of the New England area to burn down, for that matter.

You need get away from sports. It has ceased being a from of entertainment for you and has become a source of hate.

I want the New England Patriots to prevail over the New York Giants in a sporting event whose purpose is entertainment. I hope the New York Giants players emerge from the game injury free. Although I do hope they begin their off-season with some disappointment, I also hope they have an otherwise enjoyable off season and return next September to entertain me once again.

Sadly for too many people sports ceases to be a form of entertainment and joy and become as source of aggression and hatred.

There is probably no greater sports rivalry in American professional sports than the Red Sox and Yankees. However, in Joe Torre's first game back to Fenway Park after battling cancer when he was introduced he received a standing ovation by the Red Sox fans that understood that prevailing in the battle with cancer is oh so much more important than any sporting rivalry.

I also remember the first game the Yankees played in Fenway park after 9/11. The hated Yankee players were introduced to a standing ovation. And signs in the stands that read "I heart NY, but the Yankees still suck." By fans that know that what divides us by a baseball rivalry is minute compared to what hold us together. I didn't think much of either welcoming at the time. No sense of pride to be a Red Sox fan, because quite frankly I could not imagine decent human acting differently.

And this was not unique in sports. Every team honored Sean Taylor, nobody expressed joy that it would be easier to play against a weakened opponent's secondary. Examples of humanity being more important than sports rivalries are many.

It is for that reason I found the booing of the homeless New Orleans Saints when they played a "home game" at Giants stadium after Katrina to be the worst example of fan behavior I have ever seen. No expression of we stand with New Orleans, like everybody did with NY after 9/11. I never thought less of a fan base than I did of the Giant fans on that day.

A poster on another board wrote something to the extent of, "I don't like Tony Dungy. And the reason I don't like him is he is the coach of the Colts. Period. End of discussion. Because how much I like or dislike a player or coach is predicated solely on the color of laundry he wears on Sunday. And if every sport fan would accept this the world of sports would be infinitively better." I agree. I am sure you all like Eli Manning a lot more than Tony Romo. Why? Something either them has done, if you answered yes. I say bullshit. If Romo was the QB of the Giants you would defending his relationship with Jessica. And if Eli was the QB of the Cowboys you would be poking fun of his drunken picture from college.

I am not saying there is anything wrong with poking fun of the players on the other team, I do it all the time. I will poke fun of Peyton Manning for whoring himself out to anybody interested in selling crap. But I don't hate him because of it. I don't wish him injury or death. But I do wish him lots of interceptions when he plays the Patriots, but that is all.

Tom Brady and New England has done nothing to you but provide the other half of the entertainment. What fun would a sporting even be if only one team showed up? Granted it might still take the Dolphins several downs to score. :lol:

If for you sports has ceased being fun and entertainment and instead is a source of hatred, you really should stop watching sports, it is unhealthy.

How DO you know all of this? Do you work for ESPN?

I have friends that root for various teams. My comments are no more and no less scientifically based than those of the NY Post author.

There are some folks that want to see history, but most want to see the Cinderella team. Not that it is going to make a lick of difference. SB is not decided by vote.

Keep in mind that is not based on a scientific polling of fans but, the opinion of a Post author based on an on-line poll. But it is probably not to far off.

Dallas fans are torn -- they hate the Giants but some are more worried about the Pats reaching 5 then 6 Lombardi's before Dallas gets their 6th than they are worried about the Giants doing so. But not all of Texas is Dallas, so even if most Dallas fans are rooting NE, the other teams in Texas would off-set.

Most Charger fans are pulling for NE, even though NE knocked them out of the playoffs two years in a row because the absolutely hate Eli. Not all of California is SD. Forty-niners know we have been rooting for them to lose every single game.

And Jet fans are just pissed all around. They hate both teams.

Other than those three teams pretty much everybody is rooting for the Cinderella Eli & Co. story. Not unlike how pretty much everyone was rooting for the Pats except MO in 2001.

Ask Ace Ventura to kindap Tom Brady.

After the Patriots-Jacksonville game Jack Del Rio was asked what he thought went wrong with the Jax game plan half-jokingly he responded something to the effect of, "Well, unfortunately Tom Brady did slip and fall on his way into work today."

According to the dog, she accomplished painting NY fans with a broad brush as classless. If this is the case, it's a pretty classless move. I thought they were educated up there...

The Herald although not nearly as bad as the Post, but sometimes forgets its job is to REPORT the news not CREATE the news.

When Patriots fans want to poke fun of the New York media we link to a dumb ass story in the Post, when New Yorks want to make fun of the Boston media you link to a dumb ass story in the Herald.

If you want decent Boston sport journalism try the Globe.

On a Giants board? Ya don't say. I guess we should be fair and balanced like Fox news.

I have visited several different teams boards. I am not saying this board is an objective look at the NFL, but I have seen a lot worse homerism then here, a lot worse by far.

She was hoping for a handful of posters on Sportswrath to lash out?

No she was hoping for dumb emails so she could write the follow up piece.

Here is "tribute" video to Romo.

Find anything on Eli or any of the Giants?

Eli is unstoppable

I know Don Shula is

The '72 Dolphins players are like that guy from your high school you see twenty years after graduation and he's still wearing his "League Champions" varsity jacket, bragging about a touchdown he scored against the rival high school.

Here is a funny comparison between the two SB QBs.....

Other than poking fun of the Giants regular season highlight being a national televised lose not much.

This pokes fun more of Peyton than Eli, but has Eli in it....(there is ton of stuff on Peyton)

This just sounds like carry over resentment between Boston and New York over their baseball teams. Truth is, the Giants are steeped in tradition, one of the great teams of the NFC. Heck, the Patriots weren't even a gleam in their pappy's eye until almost 1960. They're newbies for all practical accounts....hence the lack of previous rivalry.

Not to mention that the two teams have only played each other 8 times. (Pats 5-3) Eight regular season game in 50 years doesn't make much of a rivalary. Although I think a budding one was formed for the game in which Parcels coached the Patriots against the Giants. (Pats won 23-22, 1996)

The Jets-Pat rivalry is very much alive, (recently turned quite bitter) and I think there is some spill over from that too.

Two things I've done during this Superbowl run by my Giants....ever since we made the playoffs I've draped my #12 Steve Smith jersey over my computer chair AND I've worn my NY Giants knit cap to work everday. We've won since. 8 games before the Superbowl run in 2000...I wrote on our EraseBoard at work..."Giants Baby!" I did that again (week 11) this year and BOOM! Giants are in the Bowl baby!

Wow that must be the reason. And silly me thought it was because Eli started throwing the ball to wide receivers and tight ends instead of safeties and corners. But your explanation makes a lot more sense.

Women, money, multiple rings...it's been said numerous times already, but they guy must have a room in his mansion that has a pentagram on the floor. Some one check his back yard for goat carcasses.

Actually he made a deal with the devil.

the dog agrees

Does the dog alway write in the third person like he Bob Dole or something?

Just like Superbowl 25... Dominate the time of possession.

You mean like the Dolphins did in the first meeting having the ball over 35 mins and still losing 49-28.

The Patriots are 5-0 this year when they lose the TOP battle, because when you have an offense that can score at TD in less than 2 mins, when they aren't playing a hurry up offense TOP is meaningless.

It is not about eating up a lot of clock, you need to score TDs when you get in the red zone, FG won't do it.

Score more points than the Patriots.

"The team that scores the most points usually wins the game." John Madden (I swear to god I once heard him say that)

:lol: I love it, even the Pats fans making fun of the Cowboys. Keep making posts like that and you'll always be welcome here.

Here is one about your upcoming opponents QB.

My first day at work at AT&T (long since left) we were given the following advice, "Never write something in an email you wouldn't want published on the front page on the New York Times."
