About the Author

Cougar2000
There are some things about sports I don't like... the New Yuck Muts, the University of Michigan and those ASSCRACK UGLY HELMETS, the Floridamn Gayturds and the Miami Crimicanes. I also think that NASCRAP and professional wrestling are a HUGE waste of air time on television and would rather watch women's Jello wrestling!

David kicks Goliath's ass! Giants end perfect run

For a few minutes, the New England Patriots seemed as if they were going to be kings of the hill. They had their feet on the necks of the Giants. Then the Pats did the unforgiveable. They lifted their foot to see if they were breathing.

Not only were the Giants breathing, they did their best Howard Beale (from the movie "Network") impressions and screamed at the Patriots, "We're mad as hell, and we're not going to take this anymore!" The Giants got off the deck and before you could say "stone beats scissors," David had kicked Goliath's ass and not only took his name, he took his lunch money too. Plaxico's prediction came true, just like Joe Namath's.

New Yorkers are walking with their head held high and their chests sticking out, as if they had just licked the bully on the playground. Bostonians are wondering, "what the hell happened" and a certain group of men in Miami (the 72 Dolphins) are breaking out champange bottles as if it was New Year's Eve.

The Patriots' dream of a perfect season came close. For a few minutes, they were the better team. The Giants chose to say otherwise.

Does anyone else think Goliath is probably a Giants fan? I mean... he was an actual Giant... Network? Are you sure you're allowed to reference movies from the 70's on the internet? Who is gonna get the reference?

True. But I was using that story as a metaphore. As far as 1970s movies, I don't think there's a rule against that and I did give the source.

Plus, I paraphrased, so there's no chance of plagarism.

It was a joke to imply that no one who saw those movies uses the internet. Look around you - your sense of humor should be there somewhere...

BTW - A big part of the legend swirling around Namath's guaranteed victory is the fact that Jimmy the Greek's line for that Super Bowl was beyond idiotic.

True. But Namath didn't have Suzy Kobler to hit on.

Even after Plexico made them mad, Imagine that!!!" He only has us scoring 17 points" {long laughter} OH, OK ,"Is Plex playing defense". Any of this sound familiar??? Sorry Tom, Plex overestimated your points, but he was close.

Patriots fans, me included, need to purge this loss from our collective conscience. Remember, we were on a 22 week high. The last day just happened to be the biggest downer of all anyone of us could have expected.
