Super Bowl 2008: 4th Quarter
Perfection? Nah. I don't think so. ;-)
And I'm no prophet, that's for sure.
***
Although that last sack changes my opinion a bit, as does that long incompletion. But that ball went almost 70 yards in the air.
***
My prediction now? This one goes to overtime. (How's that for going out on a limb?)
***
Great shot of Peyton Manning in a skybox cheering for his little brother following that TD pass.
***
Biggest extra point in NFL history...and it's good. 17-14, Giants.
***
Touchdown, Giants! But, did they leave Brady with too much time to work with?
***
HUGE catch for New York! We've still got a ball game, folks.
***
4th down and game's on the line. This is why they make the big bucks.
And they get the first down...but just barely.
***
TV ad: Amp Energy Drink (Nipples jump start) - Edgy in a bizarre way. Or bizarre in an edgy way.
TV ad: Victoria's Secret (uhhh....)
***
And Wes Welker makes a big tackle on the kick-off return!
(Just kidding. He no longer has to play on special teams. Although I'm sure he would if they'd let him.)
***
The New York defender fell down and Randy Moss was alone in the end zone for the easy TD. Giants blew this one. So close. (OK, technically, they still have a shot, and plenty of time. I just don't see it happening. [And they should thank me for it, as I've not yet predicted anything accurately in this game.])
***
Third and goal for New England. This is one of the biggest plays of the season coming up.
***
OK, here's the game. If New York can hold 'em to a FG, they have a chance to win in overtime. But I don't think they can do it.
***
Ten catches for Wes Welker. If the Pats end up winning, I think he should be in the running for MVP. Seriously.
***
TV ad: Hyundai Genesis (Again, nothing to distinguish it)
TV ad: Bud Light (Will Ferrell as Jackie Moon) - The ad's gotta be better than the movie.
***
4th and 1 for the Giants. The way they're playing defense, no need to go for it.
***
TV ad: Gatorade (Dog drinking) - Weirdness taken to a new level.
TV ad: Taco Bell (Office mariachis) - El lame-o
TV ad: eTrade (More baby talking with clown) - Even better than the first one; great use of clown footage. Clowns are better than spiders any day.
***
Big incompletion for Brady/Welker. One of the few times you'll see Welker fail to catch a pass thrown to his area code.
***
TV ad: Some Adam Sandler movie. Not interested enough to rate it.
***
TV ad: Toyota Sequoia (Big Wheel race) - At first, I thought it was a satire. It would have worked as a satire.
TV ad: Coke (Carville and Frist) - I never understand political humor.
***
Touchdown, Giants.
I wouldn't want to be Tom Brady, having to face the Giant defense protecting a lead.
***
OK, this is getting exciting. New York is knocking on the door (aka the end zone) once again. I'd love to see 'em take the lead.
***
My vote for the most infuriating move in the NFL is the commercial break they take following every kick-off. Just in case you're wondering.
***
TV ad: Coke (Parade balloons compete for a Coke) - Charlie Brown finally scores!
TV ad: Sunsilk (Girls known by their hair) - Um, ad guys? Super Bowl? Demographic? Congruence?
***
I finally remembered to change quarters on my post title.
Yeah, I was sure the camera was going to pan over to a guy making those noises drinking something.
As it stands, it's too obscure for me.

Welker. MVP. Definitely (cause I think NE's walking away with this one)
Posted by: Jim at February 3, 2008 08:36 PMOh come on! This is a little stressful. Just get it in there.
Posted by: Gene at February 3, 2008 08:38 PMAs Will Paxton would say, "Game over man!"
Posted by: Jim at February 3, 2008 08:39 PMNumber of interceptions?
Posted by: Gene at February 3, 2008 08:52 PMYou should see my daughter, who's rooting for the Giants. It's pretty hysterical.
Posted by: Jim at February 3, 2008 08:53 PMOh, I forgot to repeat the question.
Posted by: Gene at February 3, 2008 08:54 PMUhhh.... so Eric could you maybe delete that Will Paxton comment of mine. Please.
Posted by: Jim at February 3, 2008 08:57 PMWOW! Now I'm engaged! What a play, with Eli managing to avoid a sack AND complete that long pass!
Posted by: Toni at February 3, 2008 08:59 PMAre we still guessing? Or has time run out?
Posted by: Gene at February 3, 2008 09:03 PMWhat, you guys are just now engaged?! What a shock that will be to your boys! ;-)
Posted by: Eric at February 3, 2008 09:03 PMBedtime. My daughter's very happy.
Posted by: Jim at February 3, 2008 09:04 PMGee, I guess my post are being blocked. I'm signing off now,
Posted by: Gene at February 3, 2008 09:05 PMI'm counting on our guys being glued to the TV set and not reading your blog tonight (no offense). Anyway, we'll invite them to the wedding: Chris can officiate, and Kyle can play the music.
Posted by: Toni at February 3, 2008 09:17 PMOops, I accidentally watched the game instead of the commercials this quarter...WOW! What a finish for the Giants!!
Gosh, the commercials were pretty lame this quarter, weren't they?
Except the Charlie Brown one. That was sweet.
And the baby that hired the clown made me laugh but was still a bit too creepy even as a commercial.
It just seems they all tried a little too hard to be bizarre and edgy this year.
Sorry so late to the party, but enjoyed your recaps! :-)
