er are you talking about "Marsha" Brady GL? My co-worker had a sizeable investment in him being MVP.. uh oh.

MM - yes, I remembered Canada plays NFL professionally afterwards. Also we have a few MLB players in the local Australian baseball league - which I did not know much about until recently, but apparently a player for Perth, who are in the final this weekend against Melbourne, has been denied permission by his MLB club (Minneapolis??) to play in it..... And yes the Japanese fascination with baseball is unusual, but I suspect goes back to post-WWII.

And yes, many countries have aussie rules played there by expats and interested parties, including the USA.

All I'm saying, without trying to flame a war or anything, is that I think it's a bit rich to claim "world" champion status when the teams play against teams on the same continent.

As for the game itself... I could not see it live - was at work and all I had was a score updater thingy on nfl.com which I looked at while working, so my comments prob don't mean much but it seems that not a lot happened in the first half - NY seemed to storm out of the blocks and get a fair lead early, and then right on half time after a timeout NE struck back with the TD to take a narrow lead - the 3rd was a bit see-saw but really all the action from what we could tell (and the reactions of my co-worker with his money on Tom Brady which was more entertaining than the broadcast probably was!!!  :rofl;) was in the last quarter....

anyway for those happy with the result.. WOO... and for those unhappy.. BOO!!!

oh and... WORLD CHAMPIONS!!! :)  >:D

Tom Brady is a manslut.  He got married at around the time his ex-girlfriend was having his baby.  Gridiron may not be a "world sport", but I'd wager that mansluttery IS. :P

I'm assuming you mean "Alinski"?  I'm not going there. :P

(OMG, are you saying Saul Alinski is a manslut?  Shall we start a new thread discussing THAT? :o)

Thought of you last night, Marc! Aidan got it into his head that he wanted the Pats to win because the Giants trounced the Packers. (I did not point out to my sweet little guy that using this calculus, he would always be backing the team from the other division, but whatever.) I reminded him that he was pro-Giants when this same competition was played-out 4 years ago and he said "I was young then!" (He is the positively biblical age of 9!)

Anyhow, he did tell me several times that he wasn't all that emotionally invested in the game, and when it seemed pretty obvious that the Giants were going to win, I mentioned the friend in California who invited him camping and how happy this was going to make him, and he said 'OK. Yay, Giants!'

Don't know that I won you another convert, but I tried.

Oh, and I think someone has been slipping into my home at night to secretly teach Aidan the rules and the strategies of football. I caught the game-winning touchdown and Aidan explained in great detail how that was actually a mistake and left the door open for the (slim) possibility that the Patriots could win. He also explained what a safety was as I guess there was at least one of those in the game. The rules seem to have changed so much since I last attempted to really follow a game. Were safeties always worth 2 points?

I'm glad your team won, Marc!  :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Congrats to the GIANTS!

What did you think about the Half-time events. All the hype on advertisement was all kind of boring to me.  I did like the one with Clint Eastwood for Detroit auto makers, but wasn't too thrilled about it either!

The NFL will begin its 2012 NFL season on a Wednesday night in order to avoid conflicting with President Obama's nominating speech at the Democratic National Convention.
Roger Goodell made the announcement that the regular season will begin Sept. 5, one day earlier than the traditional start on the first Thursday of the month. The defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants will host the opener.
It will be the league's first Wednesday game since 1948.
Obama is scheduled to make his nomination speech on Thursday, Sept. 6 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.
This marks the third time in five years that presidential politics and the NFL opener have overlapped. In 2008, the league moved up its Thursday opener between the Giants and Washington Redskins to 7 p.m. ET in order to avoid conflicting with John McCain's nominating speech at the Republican National Convention.
Last year, Obama did the adjusting, switching a scheduled jobs speech to 7 p.m. so it wouldn't bleed into NBC's coverage of the Green Bay Packers-New Orleans Saints game.

Yeah, I heard that they're going to have to start the season with replacement refs.

Other than that, yep, I'm ready for some football!  It's like a soap opera...."All My Quarterbacks".  Oh, the fiasco in NYC with Sanchez and Tebow; they both looked abysmal.  Can Matt Schaub stay healthy for an entire season?  The Bears finally have some real offensive weapons, so will Cutler lead them into the playoffs?  Payton Manning in anything other than a Colts jersey?  How weird is that?

OK, I have always hated the Cowboys.  In my family, it's genetic.  But now my most hated team has to be the Saints.  Like most of the country, I loved their success story after Katrina; it felt so right!  But after seeing Drew Brees on Leno or Letterman, whining about the "too harsh penalty", I hope they crash and burn.  I know victory is sweet, but to purposely try to injure a fellow football player is so incredibly disrespectful to the sport in general.  That team had been under suspicion for several years and had been warned by the commissioner, but they disregarded the warning and continued their dastardly ways, so they got what they deserved.

Apologies to any Saints fans out there, but if you do the crime, you do the time.

I'm definitely ready for some football. But I'm a little nervous to once again proclaim my love for the Patriots since so many people love to hate 'em. That's ok, we're thinking of moving to NY so I better work on my thick skin. Go Pats!

Don't know about my Titans this year!  They run Hot & Cold all the time.  Opening game will be Soomk team, the Patriots.  If they play the Pats like they did the Saints, they will lose for sure!  But hey, theyre still my team!

I see where VY was released by the Bills.  Wonder what he will do now?  Who will take VY?

As a Packers fan, and a fan of football in general, I can clearly say that last night was the worst officiating I have ever seen.  Not just the last call, but the phantom offensive pass interference earlier in the game. 

Goddell needs to get his head out of his  :sir ken;  and get this lockout over with or the whole season should be stricken from the record books.
