(The Plaxico Burress Story.)

 The New York Football Giants went 11-1 today in a convincing win against the Washington Redskins. The Giants won the division showdown without star receiver Plaxico Burress as he was home recovering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the thigh.

e have four of them, all of which are favored to win by more than a field goal.   

The New York Giants are at -3.5 over the Washington Redskins.  The Baltimore Ravens are at -7 at the Cincinnati Bengals.  The Miami Dolphins are -7.5 to St. Louis, and the Indianapolis Colts are -5 at the Cleveland Browns.

So, where can you turn if you want to watch a great football team?

How about the New York Giants? They are favored by a full touchdown to beat the Baltimore Ravens in New York. So, maybe the game won’t be all that close. Maybe we all know who will win, but maybe we should watch in hopes of seeing a great team play ball. The biggest problem I have with this idea is Eli Manning.

It’s been a weird year, especially for sports. The Boston Celtics finally picked themselves up from the bootstraps to win a championship. Neither the Red Sox nor the Yankees amounted to anything more than a bunch of overpaid whiners. They are even tearing down Yankee Stadium.

With the MLB playoffs set to begin, there is a subtle difference in the air compared to start of any other postseason. In the NHL, fans can potentially look forward to a great Canadians/Bruins series that is not only exciting, but has a historical kick to it. Likewise basketball fans always have the chance to see if the Suns can finally get past the Spurs and football fans love seeing the rivalry of the Eagles Vs the City of Philadelphia when the Eagles so much as get tackled for a loss.

Now that the New York Giants QB Eli Manning has been named the cover boy for John Madden’s football video game, Madden NFL 09, the Internet is abuzz with speculation about whether he will be the next victim.

Ohmigosh! They did it! All that skepticism and doubt – poof! The New York Giants have won Super Bowl XLII!  Congratulations G-Men! Here’s the 5 keys to the game that I think did it for you:

I have never claimed to be an expert when it comes to predicting outcomes of football games, although last year I nearly predicted the exact final score of the Super Bowl while hitting on seven of my nine prop bets. (My prediction was 26-17, the final was 29-17.) For whatever reason I had a very good feel for that game. This year's Super Bowl, however, remains a mystery to me. Part of the reason I am having trouble getting a good feel for this game is that I am a bitter Jets fan and I can't stand either team. I'm finding it difficult to put my personal feelings aside and look at the game objectively. I think right now I am as close to objectivity as I am going to get, and with that being said, here is my official Super Bowl XLII prediction.

Speaking of funny – did you hear Michael Strahan? At the New York Giants press conference he owned up to dirty ball. I guess someone asked him whether there were “dirty”

I seriously had the New York Giants written off as Super Bowl contenders. Also, I assumed that Eli would never actually come into his own and learn how to be effective in the NFL. Written off as nepotism, I was one of those naysayers that figured he would be a back-up QB sooner rather than later.

While I have never been a New York Giants fan, I have to give them and Eli Manning a lot of credit. They refused to go quietly and I really thought they had a realistic shot at winning Saturday. I have always been of the opinion that Manning was in the league due to nepotism, but he has silenced much of my doubt. I grudgingly admit that he made me a believer in his skill. Next week’s game in Tampa should be interesting.

They are playing the New York Giants so if they sit their starters out there is always the chance they’ll lose…we’ll see.

While I was going through the web to see what would be the interesting, meaningful games to watch this weekend I came across a most disturbing article. Alright – many of you will mock me for this but it has to be said. The title of this piece was something to the nature of a “Girlfriend’s Guide to Football”. It started out by informing us that football is played in four quarters of fifteen minutes each. I won’t even go into the remaining absurdities telling girls not to ask about home runs or baskets! Can we just get something straight? While I do not claim to be Rich Eisen or even Jim Rome, I am not ignorant to the NFL simply because I am female. I don’t assume that all men cannot cook and hate to shop.
