    I believe that time is correct. What I always root for is something that happened in one of the Bills' losses in the 1990s (I think it was the one to Washington). The Bills kicked off to their opponents, and it was a touchback. All the refs waved their arms, and made them re-kick it because they were a few seconds too early. The Bills did, and it was another touchback.

    I always wondered what the reaction would have been if the Redskins would have run back that first kickoff to a TD, only to have it brought back because the kickoff didn't happen precisely at 6:18.

    Hey, take that shit to another board. This site is only for those that hate the Patriots.

    I have no issue with people who like the Pats (hell, I'm rooting for them today), but some people's fanboi shit with that team is just over the top.

    It's absolutely a problem. Let's say your paper wants you to cover a Pats practice or presser or game. Could you write the story without it being draped in fanboiishness.

    If I can be captain obvious for a moment, I think the Giants have a chance if and only if they can make Brady move. If they can't he'll pick apart their banged up secondary. But if they do, they've got a shot, as they've already proven they can move the ball on the Pats' D-though I'm guessing they'll be more prepared this time 'round.

    Like my friend SC, I don't care who roots for the Pats. And I don't care who wins tonight's game.

    Couple ounces of red wine
    2/3 stick of butter
    Garlic salt
    Pepper
    Dash of lemon juice
    2 tbsp. sugar

    Simmer for 10 mins, pour into a bowl, put wings in bowl and shake around. Voila.

    Oh, I don't even really care who wins. I'll be rooting for the Patriots in very halfhearted fashion. The Pats are the only Boston team of which I am not a fanboi.

    SC, pass some of that shit over here. If it's strong enough to make you cheer for NE today, I can only imagine what it'll do to me.

    It's been said but the pressure the Giants put on Brady is key. If New York can get Osi, Strahan, Tuck, etc. on him consistantly the Pats are in trouble. But the nice thing about Brady is his pocket presence is second to none -- he'll be thisclose to getting hammered, deftly shrug off a defender, and throw a 10 yard strike to Welker. And that O-Line is completely healthy and dominant, with three Pro Bowlers and another (Steve Neal) who plays like one.
