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.

I'm hopeful that if the 49ers beat the Steelers in Week 15, you'll finally move them up from #4.

I agree with most of these rankings. Nice job Walt. I would put the 49ers at #2 however. They could actually be 9-0 if they didn't crap the bed in the 4th quarter against Dallas. I also think they are the only team built to beat the Packers.
Strangely enough, I think home-field advantage could hurt GB in the playoffs. Can you see their offense working in a January blizzard in Lambeau? I can see them struggling under those circumstances against a team like SF, or maybe even the NYG.

Interesting, the Pats beat the worse of both NY-Teams and they are ahead of the Niners who beat the Giants?

Really the Texans at fifteen? They keep winning in dominant fashion. The Giants choked when they were tested, lost to Seattle, and almost lost to the Fins. And the Cowboys have been awful until this week, now they jump all the way to ten for reminding the Bills that there head coach is Chan Gailey. The Jets and Lions are both going to have to lose 8 games before anyone will admit that they are overrated, come on show the Texans some love.

I think that Walter is entitled to his opinion and if you don't like it you should:
a) Not read the site b) Set up one yourself then you can write whatever you want. TY.

Not only do your picks suck, you cannot even rank properly. The niners should be no. 2 but you are so blinded by your stupid arrogance that it pains you to accept the truth re: the world. What is the truth? The truth is that your site sucks, your picks suck, your rankings sucks even more. I am cancelling my subscription, but wait. I don't have one and don't know anyone that would have one for this crap.

When the #26 ranked team beats the #2 ranked team....someone has trouble ranking teams.
Walt will rank the Steelers #2 because he can't admit he was wrong about Alex Smith.

We find out this week if the 49ers are for real. If they beat the Giants, theres no excuse to not have them as the #2 team.

Bengals are 6-2
Bills are 5-3 Bengals beat Bills. Bills ranked higher. Makes sense.

So the 9ers winning some down games is < Baltimore losing the down games. Not to mention Pittsburgh barely beating the worst team in football by 3 points. Maybe Walt should just stick to pointing out the comments he finds across nfl.com and ESPN because he obviously isn't watching football

B, I just enjoy how for Baltimore, losing to the Jaguars and then needing to come back from a massive deficit to defeat the Cardinals is better than solidly outperforming the Browns and Redskins and never being close to losing.
