Super Bowl XLIV: A Patriots-Giants Rematch

New York Giants

"No one gives the Giants any credit for anything. They could win four straight Super Bowls and morons will keep picking against them. My advice to the Giant detractors: brace yourself. They're coming.

All of the cancerous, parasitic and self-absorbed elements of this team are gone. The Giants are a cohesive, well-oiled, deep and hungry bunch who are quietly waiting for the season to start."
