New York Giants (13-7) - Previously: #1 - Congratulations to the Giants for winning the Super Bowl again. I can't say I have any regrets for picking the Patriots though. I noted on my picks page that I wouldn't have even bet the game if there were other contests on the slate. It just seemed too even to me. New England could have easily won if it had just recovered one of the fluky fumbles, or if Wes Welker hadn't dropped that long pass. At the same time though, New York dominated the time of possession and should have been winning at halftime. So, it could go either way, I guess.
I'm not going to complain about the pick though because I got most of my props right. Kelly Clarkson even peed standing up after he sung the national anthem, so that's $100 in my pocket.
At any rate, I can blame my Patriot selection loss on Migelini, who predicted that New England would win, 25-18. If you didn't see Migelini's Super Bowl posts in my Live Super Bowl XLVI Blog, here they are:
-
New England Patriots (15-4) - Previously: #2 - I wanted the Patriots to win because the players dedicated their season to Robert Kraft's late wife. Unfortunately, some of the key members of that team came up short. Tom Brady missed Deion Branch for two big gains in the fourth quarter. Wes Welker had a bad drop that could have iced the game. Even Bill Belichick made a dumb move in challenging a pretty obvious reception, wasting away a precious timeout in the process.
Brady's performance was the most disheartening. Remember when he was the most clutch guy ever? What happening to him? As I noted in my Live Super Bowl XLVI Blog, he always came through at the very end when he was a humble guy who drove a broken-down pick-up truck. Ever since he started banging/marrying/impregnating supermodels, however, he's always failed when it matters most.
I thought I'd get some negative feedback for saying this in my live blog, but that didn't happen. I guess most people agree with me.
In honor of this, I'm going to interview two Tom Bradys. I went back in time to talk to the 2005 version, and I just spoke to the current one. Did the current Brady remember that I spoke to a 2005 version of himself? No, of course not. If I've learned anything from watching Heroes, it's that there are plenty of loopholes to be found concerning time travel.
Me: Hey Tom, thanks for taking the time to talk to me.
2005 Tom Brady: No problem, Walt. Always a pleasure.
Me: So, how does it feel to be a three-time Super Bowl champion?
2005 Tom Brady: Terrible, actually - only because I've only won three. I was drafted in the sixth round, Walt. The f***ing sixth round. No one has any respect for me.
Me: Really? Not even after three Lombardis?
2005 Tom Brady: Oh, hell no. I'm going to win at least 10 Lombardis - maybe even more - until people start recognizing me as a great quarterback.
Me: That's great that you're so dedicated to your craft.
2005 Tom Brady: I love football. Nothing is going to get in my way.
Me: Not even hot supermodels?
2005 Tom Brady: No. You know, it's actually funny you should mention that because my agent set up a date with some sort of supermodel from Brazil. I only accepted just to be nice, but she won't even like me because of my broken-down pick-up truck. Not that it matters, since I don't want anyone distracting me from my goal.
Me: I'll remember that you said that, but I'll let you go because I know you're busy. Good luck, and I'll talk to you soon!
*** Now, I am traveling through time. Weeeeeeeeeeee!!! ***
Me: Hey Tom, thanks for taking the time to talk to me.
2012 Tom Brady: Ohhhhh!!! Ohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Me: Whoa, what the hell did I just warp into? Tom, my bad, I didn't know you were having sex with 16 hot supermodels at the same time!
2012 Tom Brady: Yeahhh! Yeahhhh!! Yeahhhhhh!!! It's a slow night, Walt. I usually bang 23 hot supermodels at the same time. Ohhhhh yeaaahhhhh!!!
Me: Well, I'll let you finish...
*** Five hours later ***
2012 Tom Brady: Woooo, that was fun. Hey, you're still here?
Me: Yeah, I wanted to ask...
2012 Tom Brady: Hold on, one second. Crap, I'm late to my newest UGGs commercial shoot. I'll talk to you afterward.
*** Two hours later ***
Me: Hey Tom, I just wanted a few questions...
2012 Tom Brady: Walt, can't you see that I'm busy? I'm preparing for my next magazine photo shoot!
Me: Please, it'll just take five seconds. Didn't you once say that you wanted to win 10 Super Bowls and that you didn't care about banging hot supermodels?
2012 Tom Brady: I didn't care about banging hot supermodels? Ha! What kind of loser thinks like that? Walt, I have three Super Bowl rings. That's enough for a lifetime. Do you know what's not enough for a lifetime? Only banging 23 hot supermodels per night. That's only 8,395 hot supermodels per year. My goal is to reach 20,000 hot supermodels per year, so if you multiply that by 50 years, you get an even one million hot supermodels. When I bang my one millionth hot supermodel, I can then concentrate on getting that fourth Lombardi.
Me: That's great that you get to have sex with so many hot women, but I have to say, I'm disappointed as a football fan.
2012 Tom Brady: As a football what? Look, Walt, I'd love to talk to ya, but I need to get my supersonic jet plane waxed.
Me: Supersonic jet... what happened to your old truck?
2012 Tom Brady: Ha! Like I could ever bang one million hot supermodels with that old thing.
And with that, I now feel incredibly stupid for picking the Patriots.

No.
No. No. Wrong. #1. The championship team, shall remain the championship team, until said team is removed from its pedestal. I could care less if Headache Harvin went to the Hawks. When Seattle wins a Division title, then you can rank them ahead of the 49ers. #2. You are a hypocrite. "Rodger Goodell screwed them, as they played at 1 PM" BUT THEN: "The 49ers played at 12" and what happened when they played at 12? THEY WON. So take your bias ass and shove it. The 49ers overcame the same "difficulties" Seattle did, and did it an hour earlier. And the Seahawks won because RGIII was screwed by Shanahan. And we overcame the deficit Atlanta gave us, and they didn't. Simple as that. #3. The best team in the NFL? On paper, maybe. But it's all about wins. And frankly, the Denver Broncos hold that title. Or Atlanta, if you feel inclined. I'm not going to be the guy that says "MY TEAM (49ers) WERE THE BEST NOT THE HAWKS" because they didn't have enough W's to earn that title. So once again, you are wrong. #4. Last thing. Congratulations to the Seahawks beating the 49ers in one regular season game. Kudus, really; you split the series with us. Now, do tell, what does that mean for anything? It's any given Sunday. 49ers tied the Rams. Does that make the Rams the better team? CERTAINLY NOT! It's a regular season win. Frankly, no one will talk about it 10 years from now. What they will, however, is how the 49ers made it to the Super Bowl. That is something the Seahawks failed to accomplish. I'm good with the trash talk. I love that Hawks and Niners fans can duke it out about this coming season. I respect most of their fans, too. I just cannot stand this author putting them at #1, and using poor reasoning to do so. The Broncos are the best team in the NFL, then maybe my Niners, then the Seahawks. But there is no way that they are the best team in the NFL.

Y'all too...I like the Chiefs...I think they're better than quite a few teams ranked ahead of them too...
Once Eric Berry's back, and with the additions y'all made, I think y'all will be good...hope A Smith can be good for y'all...

1)They plan on using Pitoitua at DE (do ur research on ur own team, lol)
2)Greene is terrible in short yardage situations (ask anyone who actually watched Jets games). 3)CJ WAS a top 5 back 2 years ago, not now (dances wayyy to much). 4)People said that KCs D was so young last year all they could do was get better (I assure you that did not happen) 5)No guarentee that Britt is ever 100% again, Wright showed flashes... But Locker's accuracy is terrible... regardless of how long he has to throw. 6)You sound exactly like all the KC fan freinds I had before the start of the year last season... Good luck, you will need it.

10-6, 11-5****
Also, didn't see your correction, so let's just call it even lol... I like the Chiefs too, but we're going to smoke check ya'll this season... Yall should have sucked another couple season and drafted Johnny Football... Now, with A Smith, yall are destined for mediocracy for a few seasons...lol Also, we stole ya'lls big DT Ropati Pitoitua... We now actually have some big boys in the middle with him and Sammie Hill...something us Titans fans are very excited about because our team was filled with undersized DT's...The Greg Williams effect is already taking place here.

6-10(even though they will EASILY win more than this) is still better than being ranked 29th....
Also, just because CJ and Greene are overpaid does not mean they aren't good RB's. The fact that Greene will be able to put all his effort into short down plays and CJ won't have to worry about that makes them even better... Also, why do you think Locker was turnover prone??? It was his first season as a starter and he had a horrible O-line. With Levitre(arguably the best pass blocking guard in the leaue) and the addition of a good rookie(Warmack, Cooper, Warford, B Jones, etc.) Locker will actually have some time to throw he ball....Also, not to mention, Britt was recovering from injury still last year and K Wright was a rookie..Also, not to mention, we had a horrible offensive coordinator for half of last season... I wish people would do their research before bashing a team and its' players.. Our defense(youngest in the league) can only get better too. Especially with Gregg Williams coaching them. Can't wait for everyone to eat their words when the Titans finish 10-5(not 11-4 like you claim I stated). Don't get me wrong, I could easily see us losing to Pitt at Pitt and getting swept by Houston, but I would honestly be surprised if we finished worse than 8-8 next season...

Seattle is getting a lot of attention this off-season, and rightly so, because the home field advantage they have alone is going to make it tough for anyone to come into their house and get the win. At the same time, Defenses have a whole season of footage on Russel Wilson and I just think that there are a lot of expectations being placed on a second year QB who has to work hard to create throwing space for himself. I think a lot of Pundits are also underestimating the role the rams could have on that division if they play in it as well as they did last year.
