By now, you’re probably sick and tired of hearing either a Patriots or a Giants reference every single time you take a cigarette break.

Then again, you probably won’t be hearing any of it if you’re working for ‘’Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.'’ Whatever the case may be, every single football fan will be holding on to their Super Bowl XLII tickets until this Sunday, when it’s time to play the biggest game on the gridiron.

And yes, while we wait for that huge football game between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants, we will just bombard all of you with even MORE storylines you probably have already heard the last few days.

Let’s start with the New York Giants, this year’s heavy underdogs. As of press time, they are +11.5 underdogs, meaning the have to avoid losing by more than 11 points if they want to cover the spread and send the people who have money riding on them home happy.

In case you haven’t heard about it by now, the New England Patriots are looking to become the first team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins to finish a full campaign undefeated. They already matched the ‘72 Dolphins’ 16-0 mark and will be looking to become the first…

I just felt the need to bring that up because this dude has been hobbling with an injury all year.

Yes, ALL YEAR people, a chronically sprained right ankle has been bothering the explosive New York Giants wideout. Hell, it has been bothering him so much that the guy opted to miss every single practice the Giants scheduled all season long. Despite that, it didn’t stop him from earning a Super Bowl XLII ticket. How about that?

Crazy huh? Plaxico Burress has been on every list this season, be it on the probable or questionable sort. But surprisingly, Burress STILL became one of the main reasons why the New York Giants will be playing the Patriots at Super Bowl XLII this Sunday. So, the next time somebody tells you to practice in preparation for something, I guess you can now tell him to mind his own business and go suck your dick.

Of course, the New England Patriots will be expecting Plaxico Burress to go all out this Sunday. It will be stupid not to. It’ll be hard to miss him too since he’s a big 6′5′’ target for Giants quarterback Eli Manning this Sunday on that field in Glendale, Arizona.

Hell, the last time Plaxico Burress was on a football field, he became the best football player at Lambeau Field, catching a career-high 11 passes for 154 yards in a shocking 23-20 overtime upset win over the Green Bay Packers to win the 2008 NFC title.

Yup, this dude is a…

Yes, everybody is talking about him. (Sort of…)

The New York Giants earned their Super Bowl XLII ticket this Sunday to play the New England Patriots without controversial tight end Jeremy Shockey. He he… To tell you frankly, I’m not SHOCKED (pun intended…) by it.

Almost every team has that one guy who destroys the team’s chemistry. The Chicago Bulls had Dennis Rodman, the Philadelphia Eagles had Terrell Owens, McLaren-Mercedes had Fernando Alonso and yes, the New York Giants have Jeremy Shockey.

In case you already forgot, Jeremy Shockey was so vocal in his displeasure towards the Giants organization last season. They’ve been losing so much then that he was putting the blame on everybody, even on his coach for crying out loud.

Shockey was more of the same at the beginning of THIS season. The New York Giants, before setting a date with the New England Patriots this Sunday at Super Bowl XLII, had a somewhat slow start and as always, Shockey was quick to put the blame on anyone, ANYONE besides him anyway.

After the Giants tight end went down with…

Yes, REDEMPTION. That word has been overly overused (overly overused?) the past week when talking about them Giants.

And just in case you have no idea why people have been clamoring for Super Bowl XLII tickets the past few days, the New York Giants will be taking on the 18-0 New England Patriots in Glendale, Arizona for the biggest prize in all of American sports. That is of course, the Super Bowl.

And yeah, REDEMPTION has been the keyword, if you will, when talking about the New York Giants and their chances of coming up with a shocking upset victory over the still perfect New England Patriots this Sunday.

First, obviously, it could be redemption for New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning. Much has been said about his father Archie Manning, during his illustrious career with the New Orleans Saints in the past. Of course, much has been said about his older brother, Peyton Manning too during his run with the Indianapolis Colts in this era.

Eli Manning, on the other hand, has failed to live up to the ‘’Manning'’ name the last couple of seasons, losing time and time again and giving up…

Eli Manning. You know him. He’s Peyton’s less decorated sibling. And yes, he’ll be playing for a Super Bowl ring this Sunday.

How about that huh? After all that talk about the New York Giants wasting their draft pick to get him, and all that shit about him being a guy desecrating the Manning name in American football, Eli Manning earned a Super Bowl XLII ticket this season. And now, he’s only a win away from being crowned a world champion.

Honestly, did you ever thought the New York Giants would come this far? After a 0-2 start to the season, who would’ve thought that these Giants will be the road warriors of this year’s playoffs and earn their ticket to the biggest dance in all of North American sports?

Yes, Eli Manning will have the chance to win HIS title after older bro Peyton won his last year. Eli’s Giants will be taking on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

Sure, it is safe to say that the New York Giants will be creamed for sure, facing a New England Patriots team that has yet to taste defeat in this campaign. But hey, the Giants have been proving everybody wrong all season and they could have the momentum they need to prove everybody wrong for the last time this Sunday.

For what it’s worth, the Patriots are not taking anything for…

You read it right, the Giants are in the Super Bowl. And what’s even more surprising is the fact that Eli led them to get here.

The New York Giants EARNED their Super Bowl XLII ticket after shocking the world for two straight weekends, beating NFC powerhouse No.1 Dallas Cowboys in the divisional round in one weekend and eliminating NFC powerhouse No.2 Green Bay Packers in the NFC championship game the following Sunday.

These New York Giants earned the spot to play the still perfect Patriots in the big dance, Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, Arizona. And while the Giants are probably feeling good about themselves to finally get here after a sub-par start to the season, the rest of us know that these guys will just get their asses creamed by New England.

STILL, there’s that possibility that the Giants may have what it takes to shock us for the third straight time and actually beat the New England Patriots. After beating Dallas, then Green Bay, hell, New England may be next.

The Giants defense has just been terrific. It made Tony Romo’s life a living hell in the divisional round and it was able to pressure Brett Favre in the NFC title game so good that the guy is contemplating about retirement again.

Yes, defense is the key coming to their…

Yep, the 2008 NFL playoffs continue and unfortunately for some, some people were already left for dead.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, along with the probably still emotional Washington Redskins ended their respective seasons Saturday when the Jaguars and the Seahawks took them down for good. (Well, at least until September again…)

What’s left is a battle between the New York Giants and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC and part 2 of what is being dubbed as the ‘’Smash-Mouth war'’ between the Tennessee Titans and the San Diego Chargers in the AFC.

People, this is the final part of a two-part NFL playoffs wild card saga before we make our way to the NFL divisional playoff games where guys like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Brett fucking Favre awaits.

First, from the NFC, the New York Giants visit the Buccaneers in Tampa, hoping that this playoff run will finally make THIS young Manning worth your while.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Ronde Barber ain’t buying in to the hype yet. He claims Manning ‘’can be had,'’ probably because of the inconsistent play we’ve all seen from the…

It has been seven weeks of NFL football folks and we still have two teams yet to taste defeat on that football field.

Yep, the New England Patriots and the Indianapolis Colts, two rivals from the AFC, are still undefeated and are still on that road to match the mark set by the 1972 Miami Dolphins, that being finishing a single season PERFECT. And as the 2007-08 NFL football season heads for Week 7, you can bet your ass we’ll be watching these two teams and wait who’ll blink first.

The New England Patriots, the heavy favorites to win it all this season, ironically have the now pathetic Miami Dolphins on Sunday as they try to keep their bid to match the mark set by these Dolphins’ 1972 counterparts alive.

This year’s version of the Miami Dolphins is ridiculously pathetic. Let me get that one out first. While the ‘72 Dolphins went for a season undefeated, these Dolphins are going through a season winless. Hee hee… They are currently hobbling at a humiliating 0-6 stand, letting them become only one of two teams yet to taste a win this year. The St. Louis Rams being the other one.

Expect the New England Patriots to bitch-slap the Miami Dolphins -13.5 at home.

On Sunday Night Football, the Pittsburgh Steelers visit INVESCO Field to play the Denver Broncos. After a disappointing season following their Super Bowl win, this year’s…

Week 5 baby and we still have a few teams looking to erase the shit the ‘72 Dolphins have in the NFL.

And in case you didn’t get that, the 1972 Miami Dolphins are still the only team in pro football who finished a full year UNDEFEATED. In this 2007-08 NFL football season, the Patriots, the Packers, the Cowboys and the Colts are the only four teams that still have a chance of matching that feat.

Of course, they gotta’ win in Week 5 first. And the last time NFL football was on, the Pittsburgh Steelers saw their ascend to the ‘72 Dolphins record come to a screeching halt when the Arizona Cardinals handed them their very first loss of the season.

Hmm… I wonder which among these four undefeated teams will be dealt their first loss of the year?

First, the New England Patriots. These guys will be hosting a lowly Cleveland Browns team in probably one of the toughest games to win a football game, Gillette Stadium in Foxboro.

The Browns are 2-2 this season. Sure, they were able to beat the powerhouse Baltimore Ravens last Sunday, but this time, they have the Patriots. And when you face a team who has two of the hottest guys in football right now, that being Tom Brady and Randy Moss, you don’t have a chance.

Expect the New England Patriots to…

The Patriots undefeated? CHECK. The Colts too? CHECK. Miami still suck? CHECK. Packers are perfect? Wha?!?

Yep, that’s apparently the theme after three weeks into the 2007-08 NFL football season. Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers are the talk of the town, topping the struggling Chargers, Belichick’s cameras and of course, Terrell Owens.

On Sunday, Week 4 of the NFL season will see the red-hot Green Bay Packers (because green is the new red…) visit Minnesota to take on the Vikings. This would be an NFC North rivalry game you shouldn’t miss, that is if you want to witness history on Sunday.

Yes, Brett Favre could very well be the all-time leader in touchdowns when they visit Minnesota. As of press time, the immortal Favre is tied with Dan Marino for most career touchdowns in the NFL.

That’s 420 TDs for all ya’ll too lazy to do your research. Another touchdown for Brett Favre against a very pathetic Vikings defense is inevitable. Oh yeah, in case you’re wondering, there’s no reason for you to bet against the Green Bay Packers. Take ‘em to win -6.5 over the Minnesota Vikings people.

On NFL Sunday Night Football, one of the biggest rivalries in the NFC will…
