Peter King and SI Writers make their picks

[BeantownRox]

Must've listened to that silver-tongued Plaxico.

That, and they're clearly the better team, haven't you heard?

Not to mention they're on a roll.. they've won THREE games in a row!

Can you imagine the euphoria of THREE BACK TO BACK VICTORIES?

I sure cant.

Giants, 7-3. I think they're due. And they've become destiny's team. May the best team win. This is not to say that I have any animosity towards the NE Patriots and Tom Brady. They're the best people in the world.

I didn't know he was still alive. He must have made that prediction after they wiped the drool of his chin at the nursing home.

Stacy Keibler the hottest of hot babes picks the Patriots :rocker:

Dionne Warwick has that phsyic friends thing going on and pick the Gaints.

Cut him some slack. He thinks it's a baseball game.

 

[SoCal Pmen]

Who cares. Predictions are like you know what. Everyone has one.

 

[NEPatriot]

also... as far as aging defenses go....

Strahan is 36.

Madison is 33.

I hope our fast youthful offense doesn't wear them out:singing:

Harrison once said "Our youth is underrrated". Remember Jag game.? 3 'unnecessary roughness" for Pats.

Pats D is UNDERRATED.

 

[NEPatriot]

i listen to Peter King on ESPN radio every morning. He is knowledgeable.

They asked him about the '08 Championship game and he got a little confused.

Good a place as any to put this.

ESPN asked 100 random celebrities (and I do mean random) to make their picks:

It was quite interesting to see who picked the Giants, and why. Bloomberg's comments about who the "better team" is were particularly enlightening, mayor of NYC or not.

My two favorite answers belong to Martina McBride and Mamie Van Doren . Her answer was both cool and accurate. Nice going for a 77year-old.

I don't mind people picking the Giants to win, so long as they don't use reasons that are flat-out silly to justify the pick.

From Dr. Z's pick:

Tom Brady pass to Kyle Brady (first double Brady TD in Super Bowl history), each score followed by successful perversion, uh, conversion.

What's that all about?

 

[PatsFanSince74]

I don't think I need to be a shrink to suggest that Dr. Z's description of the New England Defense as "aging, tiring, depressed and despondent" is a projection of his own self-image onto the patriots players. his increasingly bitter and senseless ravings suggest that he's got some "issues."

 

[Nordy]

I'm still trying to figure how it's "destiny" for the Giants to win. Wouldn't destiny be on the side of the 18-0 team?

 

[JAYHAWKS34]

loved that link watsonsIQ, tons of random people in that made it pretty funny

BOBBY THOMSON
Former N.Y. Giants baseball player who in 1951 hit "Shot Heard 'Round the World" Patriots, 28-21. Deep down, I'd like to see Brady go all the way. Just one more game. RALPH BRANCA
Former Brooklyn Dodger who threw the famous pitch to Thomson Giants, 34-31. They can control the ball and their defense is good. End of 18 in a row.


Like last time, I'd go with Thomson................

 

[Patriotic Fervor]

Stacy Keibler the hottest of hot babes picks the Patriots :rocker:

Dionne Warwick has that psychic friends thing going on and pick the Gaints.

Yes, I had to be impressed the day the Psychic Friends Network filed for bankruptcy....

 

[karran_s]

Z needs to be Put out to Pasture, or the glue factory.

Who knows ? He probably works in one at nights... That's why he's always loopy.

Interestingly, from the comments of the so-called "celebs", not many of them know the game of football, except for a few here and there.

 

[BradyisGod]

fiddy cent picked the Giants.

Weee.

 

[wdkantro2]

I actually laughed out loud reading Dr. Z's thing. Is he on crack?

 

[ATippett56]

Z needs to be Put out to Pasture, or the glue factory.

I'm ready to throw dirt on that grave!
