Colossal Choke

That was disgusting. Brady looked horrible save for one scoring drive. The Giants caught every break, from fumbles falling forward for first downs, to fumbles apparently recovered by the Pats but ruled the Giants ball?, to that ridiculous escape by Manning followed by a terrible, terrible throw and a game deciding catch against a helmet amid three defenders?! We lost it though. I thought it was over when the Sox won the World Series, but leave it to Boston to raise their fans' hopes and find an improbably and utterly heartbreaking way to shatter them. This one's gonna hurt for a long time.

DC Superbowl

In DC for the superbowl. Left from State College early to avoid the impending ice storm. Felt bad dropping the dogs off at the kennel (always do), headed to dumplingfest (don't ask), and drove to DC to arrive just after midnight. Ben's at work now, but soon we'll start the ridiculousness. The Pats are favored by 12.5 points which means we're supposed to win rather easily. Everyone always hopes for a good, close, exciting game. I'm hoping for a complete blowout, a Manning meltdown, and a decisive win with a 20+ point spread. It's going to be a long wait till Sunday night.
