NYG at GB

Pre-Game

I do not want to think about the media circus that I will have to deal with for two freaking weeks if there is a New England/New York Superbowl. I cannot handle listening to Boston vs New York, Red Sox vs Yankees, Northeast sports crap. If there is anything I can deal with is a whole bunch Brady/Favre features. I can deal with that. I cannot deal with a whole bunch of “The Other Manning” features. Oh God not “The Other Manning” features. EEEEEWWWW. Please win, Green Bay, please win.

The key fantasy guys to watch are Ryan Grant and Brandon Jacobs. A big day from either of them means Andrew has all but locked up the fantasy championship.

Then again, the Superbowl is indoors. Brady could go off for 100 points. Maybe.

An update on my food intake: Skittles, sweet pickles, Gatorade, buffalo wings, pizza and Cherry Coke. The end list was better than the beginning of the list. You would think that stuff wouldn’t mix well. Well, you’re thinking right.

Frank Callindo is really good at those impressions. Too bad he can’t do anyone under the age of 98. And has anyone seen Frank TV? Is it even on TV anymore?

Its weird seeing a commercial dedicated to great offensive lineman and seeing Chiefs featured. I almost forgot that we were really good on offense once.

It also needs to be noted that Green Bay looks AMAZING in HD. I mean A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Troy Aikman looks like he going to die sometime in the middle of this broadcast. This is going to be an exciting game. I’m going to have to keep a body count.

If this writers strike continues, baseball games are going to get some insane ratings. Because between the Superbowl and April there is NOTHING on tv. Nothing.

15:00

And the ball falls off the tee! The ball falls off the tee!

Lawrence Tynes could go to the Superbowl. Damnit.

14:54

Didn’t take long for a fight to break out. People just tryin’ to stay warm man.

14:49

The fullback is the last guy I would want to be hit by if I were a Giant.

14:09

Followed by the tight end.

13:13

$10 says Buck gets too cold and mispronounces “Tuck” by the end of the game. Hey! Maybe he’ll get fired and banned from TV! YES! I have something to root for now!

12:46

There are crazy people not wearing sleeves. Crazy people those footballers, crazy.

11:36

Eli Manning still looks like he is 19 years old. Does he ever intend on growing up?

11:09

There are some awesome names in this game, such as the guy who just made a tackle. Too bad I can’t spell any of them.

9:25

How drunk do you have to get to feel warm at that game right now? Ok, fine, I’ll be the guanine pig on this one and find out…

8:14

Oh God, the Giants are driving. My worst dreams are going to come true aren’t they?

7:49

Plaxico Burress has about 90 catches on this drive. Who has him and why didn’t they start him? Oh yeah, that’s right. His quarterback is Eli Manning and its –1 degrees outside and dropping. Forgot. Sorry about that.

6:21

Has Eli been inhabited by Peyton? This is messed up.

4:57

You know, last week at this time, the score was tied at 14. Now, the Giants are finishing up the second possession of the game.

On a side note, Eli almost threw an interception… to a defensive tackle.

4:53

A field goal by the Chiefs’ Lawrence Tynes and the score is 3-0.

4: 43

An update, nine people dead in Green Bay – one of which is Tom Coughlin. Have you seen his face yet? It’s even worse in HD.

4:25

There is a band! There is band trying to play! No way! How the hell do you play trumpet in this weather? I am having trouble believing what I have just learned.

3:27

Okay, so when white people get really cold their skin turns red. What happens to black people? And why is it that the skin around the eye-sockets doesn’t turn red? Theses are the things I want to know.

2:34

Toomer has a Sammie Parker moment. Could have used that catch.

1:08

I’m not a big fan of Fox and the realization of the Superbowl being on Fox just sent a wave of depression through my body. Ugh. I can’t handle more Joe Buck.

:00

End of the first quarter. 23 people dead.

14:55

Just saw that offensive line commercial again, and I confirm that there were Chiefs on it. That’s messed up.

14:08

LOL! The Packers “forgot” to turn the heat on for the Giants heating bench. Funny.

11:59

Jumper, the film rippoff version of Heroes or a decent February movie? Discuss.

11: 46

Tyree can’t hall in a pass that would have given the Giants a first and goal. Instead the Chiefs add on to their lead with a field goal from Lawrence Tynes. 6, nil.

11:18

Donald Driver 90-yard touchdown reception! Andrew goes wild! After 20 minutes of Burress making Andrew feel like a poophead, Donald Driver catches a 90-yard touchdown to give the Packers a 7-6 lead. That was a 17-point catch by Driver. I guess Brett owed him for the OT pass that caused Andrew’s only loss in another league.

So I just saw a commercial naming the Sara Connor Chronicles as the number one new show. I didn’t realize there was more than one new show on TV. Huh.

10:31

I guess black people don’t get cold. I just saw one sweating. Weird.

9:52

BIGBY NAILS BURRESS, but Burress holds onto the ball. Where’s the slow mo? I’m in need of an orgasm.

8:56

Green Bay special teams have been trying to give this game away. What terrible decision making.

I could really use one of those 90-yard TD passes to Jennings. Anytime now Brett.

7:26

Jennings almost breaks one! DAMNIT! But Aikman says he’s going to be a superstar. Good tip for keepers.

6:38

Buck is really working on accenting the “T” in “Tuck”. I really want him to “Tuck”-up his name.

6:21

Both Special Teams coaches in this game need to get fired. And yes, I’m in a fire-happy mood.

5:38

Brandon Jacobs is amazing. Geez.

4:35

You know the play is going nowhere when the announcer says this, “The snap is fumbled, flags are flying and the pass is incomplete.”

Yikes.

4:14

Ryan Grant is not built for cold weather running. This is more Brandon Jacobs territory. I would love to see LJ run in this weather behind a good o-line. That would be fun.

2:40

If I were to do a Playoff Luck Factor Blog, Andrew would score a 1484. I don’t know if that is possible, but that would be my estimation. Did anyone see a big passing day coming out of this weather? Unthinkable.

1:52

TD pass for Jennings is incomplete. Story of my life.

1:34

Crosby nails a 37-yard field goal to extend the lead to 10-6.

Note: There will be no second half blog due to other responsibilities elsewhere. I’ll try to have the scoring updates up tonight. I’ll definitely have them up by tomorrow morning.

1:11

I want that Bigby guy. What do we have to do to get him? I’ll give you Croyle????


1:03

Harris is being owned by Burress. And I mean OWNED!

:05

The Giants can’t pull off a fast, long drive like they did last week so Green Bay will keep their 10-6 lead going into halftime.
