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 have to question if you Walter on whether or not you are an Eagles or a Cowboys fan Because you hold one of them in high regards. Either you think the Cowboys (much like dez bryant) are unbeatable and so the (3-4 mind you) Eagles win makes them a top ten team. Or you are an Eagles fan and because they held the (highly overrated) Cowboy's to 7 you feel as though all the horrible losses they have had already meant nothing. I just don't see your logic. The Eagles O-line still can't protect Vick their safeties and linebackers still suck. The Cowboy's have only 3 good player's on defense and not one of them play in the secondary. And their O-line is equally bad. Romo is over-hyped and while the receiver's are talented they don't always play all out.

The Chargers have talent? Where?!
Their best pass rusher is - Antwan Barnes? Their best running back is 270 pounds Their second best receiver is Malcolm Ass Floyd Their best defensive lineman is ???????? Antonio Gates has had so many injuries he's slower than Randy McMichael They have major holes all over their roster (RT, the other MLB, NT, safety, etc)

Screw you chris johnson, im dropping you for randy moss. On a more serious note, am I the only one that considers buffalo the number 1 team to beat in the AFC east? NE's defense is just cant defend the pass and buffalo in the 3-4 with darius at NT is looking pretty good.

Denzel, how are the Bears going to win the Super Bowl without making the playoffs? The Bears themselves must be ignorant morons by your standards, because I'm sure none of them deep down truly believe they are going to play in, let alone win, the big game. Two weeks from now when Detroit completes the season sweep, the reality the rest of us live in will finally set in for you too.

The person below me looks pretty stupid now. Just like all the ignorant morons who think the Chicago Bears won't win the Super Bowl will look in a few months.

Finally, someone who agrees with me regarding the Steelers. Why do most people power rank them so high? Wow, BFD they have won the last 3 games, but who did they play? Nobody! Plus, as you said Walter, they lost Bigtime to the only top 10 team they have played. I see the Pats winning by 2 TDs.

Where are all the Raiders fans that thumbed down my post from last week about Hue Jackson being an idiot and how he will ruin the team?
Wait did he trade a 1st and 2nd round pick for a 32 year old QB who has sucked for three years now? Who hasn't practiced all year? In the middle of the season? What happens if he retires after this year? How much better is he than Kyle Boller honestly? Guess I was wrong guys.

Detroit's only touchdown came on a trick play. Atlanta also ran the football right down their throats.
The Falcons should be much closer to the Top 10 (ahead of Philly, behind Chicago) and Detroit should probably be out after back-to-back embarrassments at home.

Chargers will move up after they blow out the Chiefs. the sudden resurgence of KC is fools gold. wins over the Colts, Minn, and oak are nothing to talk about. The Raider Qbs threw the picks right at them. no choice but to catch and return them. Anyone would have won that game easily. SD will get healthy on them just like last year when they held the Chiefs to 50 yds of offense in SD.
