But I still hate the NY GIANTS. BTW, Why do some sports commentators refer to them as the NY FOOTBALL GIANTS??? The Baseball Team moved to San Fran 50 Years ago. There should be no confusion after a 1/2 century.
It just makes me sick that my 2 teams could have prevented this horrible event. If the Bills didn't blow a 14 point lead @ home they would have never made the playoffs. Then my Bucs had to lose a playoff game @ home to these obnoxious f*cks.
ARGG, it feels like Super Bowl 25 but not as bad. There's no Scott Norwood to blame this time around. They were beaten pretty clean, except for 1 push-off play.
To think those arrogant F*'s from the city are celebrating makes me sick.
The only comeback I have is that every Giants Super bowl win has been followed by an economic cataclysm. In 1987 we had the Stock Market Crash, In 1990 we had a nasty recession that followed and put Bill Clinton in the White House. In 2008??? We shall see what happens next.

Super Bowl SundayCategory: nfl
I"m going to have to go with New England on this one. I FREAKIN' Hate the Giants & their fans. Come one everyone is giving New England grief for being all high and mighty. But, my argument is that Giant Fan is stuck up for the fact that they always harp on, They don't have are are the only franchise in the NFL that does not have cheerleaders. This is because Giant fan is "all serious" about their football. Another reason is that they're followers in the retro uniform department. Nothing like being the second team in our market to permanently go back to the throwbacks, you should be paying the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS for the idea. Plus, it looks real good when the initials on your helmet NY are totally redundant since you guys play in the former swamp called the Meadowlands, where Tony Soprano lives in NEW JERSEY. Plexico, you're also copying another thing from the Jets in guaranteing a win. After Broadway Joe, it lost a bit of it's luster, don't you think? Like that stupid dude for Seattle that was talking all the smack about Jerome Bettis losing in his hometown. Who was that lamo? How this team got this far with an A-hole coach like Tom Coughlin is beyond me. Oh, and that Super Bowl 25 thing doesn't help either.
People may hate on the Patriots but at this point I hope they get that perfect 19-0 season. This will end those grey haired guys in Miami from harping on how they were the greatest, blah, blah, blah. Just to see their champaign go bad that they do have on ice just in case of a NY victory would be pretty sweet. I'll just be nice to have all those guys like suck it up & deal with someone smoking their accomplishment.
Personally although Bill Belichick may be an evil genius I have to respect him. Even Tom Brady, you really can't say anything too bad about the guy other than he goes out there and excels. He's basically the guy every guys wants to be & he does not come across as cocky as well. Really it just goes to the fact that Belichick went to Wesleyan. The woman I lost my viriginity went there & also I guess deep down inside I'm pulling for a fellow slavic person to get to the top of the mountain.
On another note, I do think that they're going to come out and smoke the Giants. Why, because of the new allegations that the Pats had their first superbowl win taped a la spygate fashion before there even was a rule in place
Remember after the spygate thing when they just obliterated every opponent for 2 months? I guess there is a pride factor to show everyone that they never did have to "cheat."

If I where a betting Man I would put a few down on the Giants. The giants with 12 points could be a safe bet. If you go back and look at the last time these two teams played it was very close and I think the giants can win and do have a shot. I don't think they will win but there is a chance of them keeping it close. The thing with the giants is they will forever be part of History now. It is up to them do they want to be the team that stops the undeafted streak and slays the mighty pats or will they be the final team to lose to them. I find it odd that both the Giants and the Jets don't play in NY and next year will play in the same stadium as each other all year long. That means the the Bills are the Only team to Play in new york state (oh yeah the first pregame show has been on for 9 minutes by the way). The Pats are named for the Area not where they play so that is kinda interesting. I myself want the Pats cause I like Brady, Vrebal and Seau and I like the redemation of moss, Dude why couldn't you play this way for my raiders when they needed you. Hope it is a great game and they go 19-0.

First of all, the Pats are evil, and Bilicheck is both a cheater and a jerk.
Secondly, The Steelers do not have cheerleaders, either.
And there really was no "switching permanently to throwbacks" since the Steelers have worn basically the same uniform for over 30 years.
Furthermore, Plax (a former Steeler who learned his toughness from Hines Ward) did not make a guarantee, he made a prediction. And I hope he is right.

Casino EntertainmentCategory: concerts
In listening to the stupid ad that the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort has been blaring over the last couple of days, I realized how sad that place has become. Come on, Starship featuring Mickey Thomas as your "big show.!" I remember when they played the Bears Den @ Seneca Niagara Casino a venue that seats 400. Seriously are you going to pay $ to see a bunch of really burned out dudes play this and it NOT be Grace Slick singing it but some 20 something chick they picked up.
The other "entertainment" option is the Beach Boys or Kenn Rogers two performners that played for Free in an outdoor concert within the last 2 years @ Seneca Niagara Casino.
They do have some very choices for niche ethnic markets coming up, which is a smart move on their part. But other than Trisha Yearwood I just can't get excited about anything they they have coming up soon.
Now Seneca has Matchbox Twenty and Alanis Morrisette in two weeks. I saw Alanis a couple of years back @ Fallsview and it was a pretty descent show. I am very tempted to slap down the $100 for the show at Seneca, but I really don't have anyone to go with at the moment. Seeing Alanis is a no-brainer for me and catching Rob Thomas would be a descent time. The one thing about that guy that has stuck with me is something that I read on an interview. I suppose when he was taking care of his Mom when he was getting the inspiration to write the songs like 3am he was really into drinking Manischewitz Wine. Since for some reason I had a phase of my life when I always kept a bottle of Elderberry in my house for some reason. To me you get really good value for your dollar with that stuff, since it does have a descent taste to it.
So in the end the Seneca Niagara Casino is really bringing good acts to town to a substandard venue. While Fallsview is bringing some lame acts to a superior venue. I will probably end up going to see matchbox on V-Day, but seeing the show in a gigantic hotel conference room made for banquets and poker tournaments is not a great experience.

I have to admit I'm not a big Matchbox 20 fan myself but I'm sure it will be a pretty good show, since they are pretty good. Rob Thomas has a good voice and I like his solo stuff, you should go. I have a guess as to shy what you are describing happens. If I was a performer I would rather go to the place in Canada. You don't have to cross a boarder to go to all stuff. Not to mention there are lots of things around that area like strip clubs and lots of other fun things. But If you are on the American side you have to cross the boarder every time you go back to your hotel and it is a lot less convienant but that is just my theory. I think for Valentines day I will be at Club Diablo they are having a concert there I'd like to see.

The Panic has begunCategory: money
What a freaking bloodbath we are going to have in the stock markets today if trading overseas during the Holiday is any indicator. We're screwed.
I think for financial matters I am now the official stand in for (e:vyscious) DOOM DOOM BEAR MARKET!!!!
All I can say is start taking your money out of the bank & stuff it in your mattress.
We are now having the biggest 1 day crash since the 9/11 attack.
Yikes!!!!!

Well if that is really true then lots of people who don't have money tied up in the market should find all the stocks that hit rock bottom and buy a shit load of them that will then push the market up in that market that crashed then just hold on as let the stocks go up as they peak then resell them.

Go short - I wish I would have even six months ago on an ETF or a SPDR or something.

And how much of that $1100 would I see after capital gains taxes?
Let us forget facts about how the Giants Defense crushed "The Pats" and how when they won the toss and had that long drive how that started everything in there favor. Here is the reason "The Pats" lost. Bill wore a gray hoodie and would wear the hood that was the tradition. Now he doesn't wear the hood and it is Red. You can joke about how that jinx them or that the red distracted them. But it could also be a metaphor for the game. The Pats came in flashy instead of Basic and true to technique. If they would have came out with the "Lawerenace Maroni" show that would have taken allot of the pressure off Of brady and slowed down the blitz. The Pats have a pretty good Ofensive line but they didn't look that way. Yeah they had a good bend but don't break defense but they where not good enough. For you betters out Hope you where smart and went with the Giants the Slayers of History and the protectors of the dolphins. Does this remind anyone of those 14-2 (i think) Broncos who everyone thought would win the superbowl and lost in the first round of the playoffs. I say next year New England goes 18-1 again but will lose in the regular season. I wish they could have gotten the perfection I'm tired about hearing about the Dolphins perfect season. It would have also Made the amazing Russell Crowe Piece on perfection even better then it all ready was. You have to give credit where credit is due the Giants where the better team and the Mannings have been back to back Superbowl MVP's.
If I put $100 on the Giants last night, what would the payoff have been?
