Ladies and gentelmen, the king of live blogging... Mr. SSR!!!!!!!!

Here come the Giants.

Here comes Tom Brady and some other players.

I gotta game of beer pong to play, I'll be back in like 15 minutes

LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't drink (I'm not even old enough to drive)....any drinking games to come up with though?

National Anthem coming up.....and it's Jordin Sparks from American Idol.....can we just replay the Whitney Houston one?

Every time Joe mentions Peyton Manning (Peyton Manning, not Eli's brother, or big brother), drink.

3:15 PM PST, almost time for kickoff!

Philippi Spark's little girl is gonna bring us luck.

Play artist, your mom and me last night.

After football....you think I'm going to watch House?

Every mention of the Cowboys from Aikman, drink. Every mention of his playing days or Super Bowl games, drink.

Patriots wearing their home jerseys.....that means the Giants are wearing the road jerseys!!

You know what that means!!!

Why are the planes flying over a domed stadium?

...Awesome performance by Sparks.

That was awesome. Jordin's gonna be great for a long time.

The team that has won the coin toss since 2003, has lost.

New game, every FOX show promo related to football, drink.

Retractable dome, noble concept.

Adolf with Connie Payton and Jason Taylor.

Ref is Mike Carey.

where is Ed Houlichi? O, wait... he got busted for Roids and couldn't participate...

NO!!!! GIANTS WON THE COIN TOSS!!!!

Ronnie Lott, best safety there ever was. Giant ball!!!!!

Hey SS... according to the comment ^ somewhere... the Giants are gonna lose

Drink!

Holy crap, Why do we need to see Aikman AGAIN for!!

Alright, to start out -- Giants fans, win or lose -- let's have a nice clean blog. Good luck!

Chris Myers....ugh.

Like I give a damn that Brady is or is not pain free Chris.

All systems go!!!

Brady was fine all throughout the week, they're still trying to make it an issue.

we are going to need a new blog for the second quarter...

HERE WE GO!!!! Hixon to the NYG 22.

Drink up SSR

SS, why are you wanting to foe me (reference above)

1st and 10, Jacobs evades one tackler, and gets 3.

Jacobs for 1.

Jacobs gets one on the run

Jacobs with 2 attempts for 4 yards -- but like a wrecking ball, he gets better with time.

Shotgun... complete for the first down

3rd and 6, Manning to Burress to the NYG 42!!! First down!

3rd down conversion, Plaxico Burress!!

Catch by Hedgecock for a gain of 3.

1st and 10 at the 42, FB Hedgecock (snickers) gets 3 on the catch.

Eli with no turnovers this postseason... it won't last

To extend on the drinking game rules: Anytime the announcing crew says Brady, Manning and 19-0 you drink. Should be good to go by halftime.

2nd and 7, Jacobs for all of 1 as they barely get the play away.

cant stop em on third downs

3rd and 6, Manning from the shotgun, Steve Smith from USC for the first down!!!

Steve Smith with the catch!!!!!!! First down.

COMERCIALS!!!

INJURED PATRIOTS!!!! WOW!!!

Now that is a good commercial Bud Light!!

fire breather... not bad... but not great

Rodney Harrison and.. Ellis Hobbs?

That commercial was stupid.

that Audi is hot

Rodney HGHarrison hurt?

Can you say WHAM!!!!!!!!!!

1st and 10 at the Pats 46, Jacobs slams Brandon Meriwether and gets 7.

Meriweather just got facked up a little there

Haha Meriwether got JACKED

2nd and 3 -- Manning hands to Bradshaw for about 3.

2nd and 3, Bradshaw 1/2 yard short of the first down, tackle by Rodney HGH.

3rd and inches, Peyton!!! Bradshaw to the 29 yard line!!! First down!!

Bradshaw!!!!!!!!!!!

that was some toughness out of Bradshaw there

Alright, I'll admit -- Bradshaw is a beast.

Nice red hoodie, Bill.

1st and 10 at the NE 29, Kevin Boss drops the ball, incomplete.

the running game is moving now

2nd and 10, Jacobs gets 3 as Harrison was coming in on the blitz.

Look at that clock

nice play by Manning

3rd and 7, Manning under pressure and finds Smith for the first again!!

New England can't get off the field

1st and 10 at the NE 18, Manning for the end zone.....NEARLY PICKED BY ELLIS HOBBS!!

So much for being "taller and more skilled" than 5'10 Ellis Hobbes, huh Plaxico?

2nd and 10, Jacobs for no gain!

Jacobs goes... nowhere

3rd and 10, why did the clock stop? Short of the first down is Smith....FG time.

the defense swarms to the ball... just the let positive yards first... stepped in up in the red zone though

Smith gets JACKED UP!

FOX?! What the heck happened? Tynes from 32 yards......GOOD!!! Giants 3 Patriots 0

Tynes is what, 2 for 19 in the playoffs now? ;-P

Anyone notice the FOX graphic still has 6:12 as the time?

good comerical but bad song for the pepsi max

DRINK!!!!!

Buck dancing at the end of that one was somewhat scary.

sterotype = Indain dude in online sales

Would have liked to get the TD but it's a long drive that chewed up the clock.

Maroney gets some good blocking there

Tynes to kick it to Maroney, who storms his way to the NE 42!

Its Brady time...

good bud light comercial

click clack...

DRINK!

didn't work out the way they wanted it to be

4:52 left in the quarter.

Pats ball at their own 44 officially.

1st and 10, they fake the endaround to Welker, and Brady is under pressure....incomplete intended for Maroney!

2nd and 10, Maroney for 8 maybe 9 yards on the handoff.

Brady has to play west coast kinda ball and just get rid of the ball to have a good game

3rd and 2, Maroney for the first down!

pressure is the key to making the offense make mistakes

1st and 10 at the NYG 43, Brady with a year, but can't find anyone, incomplete. Brady is 0-2? Matt Cassel time!

bad throw or bad route?

WRITE IT DOWN: Lawrence Maroney will be the Super Bowl MVP.

2nd and 10, Brady finds Donte Stallworth for a gain of 7.

3rd and 3, shotgun, Brady gets it to Welker to the NYG 27!!

Welker... who woulda guessed </sarcasm>

nowhere for Evans

1st and 10, run it with Heath Evans? Why? A 2 yard gain.

2nd and 8, 1:30 left in quarter 1 and counting, Faulk catches it and is tripped up by Sam Madison a yard shy of the first down.

Faulk? Kevin looking a little like Marshall on that play

1st and 10 they say, Brady fires for Watson and it is incomplete!

I want someone to peg Belichick with a ball or something wearing that ugly ass red shirt

we've seen like four comercials during this quarter...

2nd and 10, Brady for Kevin Faulk and he drops it as he got clocked by Mitchell.

PI!!!

interference... obviously

3rd and 10, pass interference, dumbass Pierce ruined my day.

Touchdown Patriots.

good call but great play by the giants

Maroney... TOUCH... nevermind...

they got pressure on brady and thats all that matters hit him hit him hit him take the penalties but punish him

It sucks to not live in the U.S.

It sucks to not have FOX Sports

It sucks to wake up in the middle of the night to watch the most important game of football in 2008.

It sucks to not watch the Superbowl...

1st and goal, Maroney does not get in. He'll get in in about 3 minutes as quarter 1 expires. Giants 3 Patriots 0

http://ssrep...r-bowl-pick/ Giants already broke one of my rules to beating the Pats.

Worst song ever.

The Giants lead 3-0 as the teams move on to the 2nd quarter.

That was a fast first quarter

That song was so lame.

really 3-0 at th eend of the first

No kidding Simon!! Someone is going to win American Idol?!

2nd and goal, Maroney on the 2nd effort TOUCHDOWN PATRIOTS!!!

Patriots 7 Giants 3. Antonio Pierce is dead to me.

Craig... Maroney is looking for that MVP early

That looks like an awesome facking movie...

PIERCE IS A FRICKING VETERAN!! HE SHOULD NO BETTER.

great for the Giants though eat up clock

GO DADDY...

Come on Giants, it's early.....

these commercials suck

bad kick... stupid penalty

wha wha wha

Kick goes out of bounds and the Giants get to start at their own 40.

40 YARD LINE!!! LET'S GO!!

that could be big thats how the pats won the super bowl against the panthers

giants pigeons... thats good

these commercials are just like they were trying toooo hard

Need more Bud Light commercials.....

yeah they are trying way too hard,

Gisele!!!! 1st and 10, Jacobs for 3. I need more Bradshaw!

WOOO PAM ANDERSON! I've had a crush on her since I was like... 6.

ill go on record right now and say i cant wait for tom petty, he was the first concert i ever saw

its taking longer and longerr and loongerrr and loonngerr to load...

2nd and 7, Burress can't hang on, no catch.

never listening to godaddy.com again...total bullshit

FUMBLE?!

that was close to being a catch and fumble

WHAT!!! How'd he catch that... amazing

what a catch!!!

WOW!!!

Jacobs for 4.

Jacobs with a 4 yard rush. (Yes, internet has saved my [half]life)

2nd and 6, whistle, delay of game....if that was the Patriots no penalty would be called.

Eli is still no Peyton

Drink!! 2nd and 11, Asante Samuel lays out David Tyree after a 5 yard reception.

Peyton is all depressed sitting in his corner... he looks like he is ready for a funeral

SS how many comment points are you going to get for doing play by play on a game that we are obviously all watching?

6 yard reception for Tyree.

Interception! For once, not Eli's fault!

3rd and 5, PICKED OFF BY ELLIS HOBBS!!!!! Smith, I hate you too.

HOBBS!!! Got handed a gift there... Smith facked that play up

The rout is on.

big break and the turning point of the game righ tthere.

SMITH F'D THAT PLAY UP.

Hank was on the Roids there

Ironman was like "fack that... shoot at me? I'll blow ya up..."

In the words of Borat: Niiiiiice.

1st and 10 at the NYG 32, and Maroney for 8.

2nd and 2, nothing for Maroney.

3rd and short, MARONEY IS STOPPED ON A HORRIBLE PLAY!!!

big big stop for the Giants

Giants D stepped up nicely... and they needed to get some momentum back... good for the giants

Dateline NBC to punt, R.W McQuarters to the NYG 37! Nice return.

I wonder if Maroney would like some cranberries with that stuffing

The Pats now need to show they can stop the Giants from advancing down the field.

Giants receivers are channeling their inner 2004 Seattle Seahawks.

Cloney in a slapstick comedy? hasnt he advanced beyond that at this point in his career?

Napoleon really wasn't that short...

Manning is sacked by Jarvis Green! Unstoppable!

2nd and 13, FUMBLE!!!! NO!!! GIANTS BALL!!! Wow.

My dad: "First the Tranformers in the corner, now the Sally Jessy Raphael Chronicles"

Craig... nice work with making the "19" in your avitar visible

3rd and 16, what the hell was that? Yep, this has rout written all over it.

Welker with punt returns or Maroney with kickoff returns... who do you think is better?

this commerial sucks

hah but i love the thrilla lizard

THRILLER!!!

That kind of Life Water, the not original kind -- BLOWS. Do not try it.

Anytime a group can do Thriller, you know you have something good going

This had better be the last dropped pass or fumbled ball that we have this game.

The token PSA for the half, next half - don't drink & drive despite already being blitzed like Eli.

1st and 10 at their own 30, Maroney for no gain.....might want to throw the ball Bill.

2nd and 9, BRADY UNDER PRESSURE AND SACKED!!

Brady missed that one... Brady's fault not the O-line

3rd and 17, BRADY SACKED AGAIN!!! JUSTIN TUCK!!!!

ah the gameplan is working get to brady get to brady get to brady

Brady just got facked up and burried in a hole

McQuarters gets the shanked punt, and they have good field position. Hmmm.....where are the Pats fans saying that Brady does well when facing pressure?

Fox is liking this quarter better - more stoppages in play

haha... Bude Lite... great... that was awesome

BREAKING: Frank's hot sauce is the best hot sauce.

1st and 10 at their own 43, Jacobs for 2 yards.

2nd and 8, BRADSHAW BREAKS FREE TO THE PATS 42!!!

the giants arent scared of them and thas key

1st and 10, Jacobs for about 4 yards.

Jacobs with 4 more yards.

2nd and 6, JACOBS FOR THE FIRST DOWN!!!

1st and 10 at the Pats 31, and Bradshaw makes the catch and gets about 4.

2nd and 7, Bradshaw for 3 more.

Bradshaw with a 3 yard reception.

ah damnit where's john madden where you need him

Manning facked that up... and they got lucky... very lucky... Manning looked like a douch on that play

3rd and 4, SMITH GETS THE FOOTBALL AFTER MANNING FUMBLED THE BALL!!!! AND IT IS A FIRST DOWN!! Flag on the play!!!

Illegal bat by the Giants...wow.

Repeat 3rd down.

Besides the INT, Eli's been looking pretty good, hasn't he? 8-13, 85 yards, 6.5 yards per attempt. All he needs is a touchdown.

Harrison is back... did he just come back in?

Manning remember his is Eli and not Peyton?

four Patriots in the area... and none of em caught that

3rd and 18, MANNING IS NEARLY PICKED BY RANDALL GAY!!! Punt time after the two minute warning. The rookies (Smith and Bradshaw) are single handedly losing this game.

WOOOOOOOO!!!! SACK!

the Chroni what cals of Narnia

I'm ready to crown the Patriots champions. Congrats Pats fans, greatest sports team of all time.

thats just wrong

Ah Chuck and Wade I love this

Why didn't they run the ball?

D-Wade and Chuck... great commercial

4th and 18, Feagles to punt, Faulk fair caught at their own 11.

Andy Sandberg... he is funny

Tony Romo is in this commercial, he needs to stay out of the spotlight!! MR 0-2.

Romi, Eli has gone back to being the Eli of old, they are relying on Jacobs too much, and the Giants are continuously dropping passes. Convince me that the Giants can win this game, they shoot themselves in the foot constantly.

1st and 10 at their own 11, Brady hit as he throws looking for Moss and it is incomplete. I wish that was an interception.

great stop

Maroney dragged for a loss!!! And now the Giants call timeout.
