super bowl xlii preview

to be honest, i am not very pumped up for this matchup. hopefully i am wrong, but i have a sinking feeling that the patriots are just going to rout the giants in this game. had the game been played last weekend, i might have picked the giants. but since they have to have a long layoff, much like the rockies before the world series, i think they will be more rusty than resty. plus, now that we learned the patriots taped the rams walkthrough before super bowl 36, maybe they did the same thing yesterday, making it that much tougher for the giants to win. seriously, these patriots spies are as easy to spot as sylvester stallone in the specialist. i mean what was that one scene about where he's staring at eric roberts in the limo? he's looking right at him. he didn't try to hide. throughout the whole movie he keeps getting seen. wasn't he supposed to be more covert? what is he a specialist at anyway? being conspicuous? ok anyway yeah this game is going to suck. i also have my doubts for the halftime show being any good. i actually like tom petty more than the average person in my demographic, but i'm not sure that free ballin' is really going to cut it. hopefully the commercials will be good though. prediction: patriots 48-21.

fortunately the game was much better than you predicted. and by better i mean the giants won. it was also a good game to watch since it was close.

and what's with the ramblings about the specialist?

indeed. there are few times in my life where i've been so happy to be wrong. i really didn't want to see them get 19-0.

saturday night i regrettably stayed up very late to watch all of the specialist on TNT. i think it ended around 5 a.m. or something. i'll admit i was partially influenced to watch because happy ninja told me you actually own it and think it's awesome or something. anyway it's one of the worst movies i've seen in a while and so i was tired the next day for really no good reason. and also as happy ninja pointed out many times during the movie, sylvester stallone's character is extremely bad at being covert, so in that i at least found some unintentional comedy. i'm not actually sure if it was fully his objective to be covert, but it seems reasonable that he should've at least tried, but he didn't.
