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.

Great, as always. I'm surprised you get these out so early, though. Isn't it a bit late for a Monday night?

The fact that Walt says that the Giants didnt really need to beat the 49ers says all you need to know about his football knowledge. Unless the 49ers implode, that game gives them a bye and 2nd place in the home field advantage race. Only a clueless fool would say that loss to the 49ers didnt really matter.

I have gone through about 100 links and this is the only website that has the 49ers ranked lower than 2. Perhaps Walt and his Senior Editor will find the time to post something real about the reasons for ranking the 49ers where they do. That would be a refreshing change. Explain why the 49ers are 2 games ahead of every team in the NFL except GB and are still ranked at 4.

Maybe Walt is the only Power Ranker who is not drinking the 49ers koolaid. Maybe Walt is the only one foolish enough (maybe its hate) not to notice the 49ers are playing good ball. Honestly, I do not care. It is the childish comments and lack of real analysis on the 49ers that show me he is a joke of a power ranker.

This team is hard for me to place for obvious reasons. I think they got a great defense though, they play good special teams and don't turn the ball over.
They remind me of the 2007 Bears, although Smith is better than Grossman by virtue of not being Rex Grossman. I could honestly see them winning a game in the playoffs and giving the Packers some trouble.

Texans will win the division. Without Scahub, it's hard to say they'll make a deep run.. With foster they don't have to throw much anyway

only based on total yards allowed, which is a completely retarded stat to be the basis of ranking defenses.

Dear Joey,
Firstly, I'm sorry to hear your a dolphins fan. I feel your pain. Anywho, Walter may have the 49ers as 2nd in the NFC and 4th overall, but I believe it's only because he has to and that is purely a reflection of their record and not how they play football. I've been reading these power rankings all season and I've yet to see him put a positive comment about the niners. I firmly believe that even in the perfect universe where they finish 15-1 this website and other media outlets would say things like "Alex smith, weak schedule, gonna lose in playoffs, blah blah blah." Even if no one respects me for being a super fan and a whiner, we 49ers fans have earned it after 10 long terrible seasons at the bottom of the barrel. 49ers > the rest of the NFL |
