After nearly two weeks, my mind is made up. I'm ready for Super Bowl prediction and I'll be damned if I'm wrong on this one. For the last thirteen days I have obsessed over this one game, unlike any other in my almost 27 years. Day after day I'm constantly looking at the storyline. I guess the reasons why I am so jacked are:

A. The Giants haven't won a SB since I was in the 4th grade

B. New York hasn't won jack since 2000

C-Z. Forget it, I could go through the whole damn alphabet at least 100 times with reasons why I want the Giants to win this game on Sunday night.

This  just might wind up being the greatest Super Bowl ever played. It's going to be a physical, no holds barred dogfight in the dessert. It could be Broncos, Packers, Giants, Bills, Rams, and Titans all rolled into one. But this, this, will be different. These two teams are so damn physical and you can sense just how badly they all want to win. This ain't just a football game. You have Tom Brady, Bellicheck, and Moss gunning for perfection. While Tom Coughlin's Road Warrior Giants try to bring the prize back to Glorious Gotham, the northeastern shoulder of the country has a lot at stake. From the tip of Maine all the way down to the Jersey shore, there are people beaming with Patriot Pride and others bleeding Giant blue. Bean Town versus the Big Apple; the football version.

I told myself that I was not going to write a blog entry following the Super Bowl. Whatever the outcome would be, I figured that I would be too emotional and exhausted to dictate my thoughts into the computer for thirty minutes.. But the GIANTS won!!!!!! They did it!!!! In one  of the greatest stories in the history of New York sports the Jints derailed the New England Patriots' pursuit for Perfection. After an unforgettable game for the ages the Giants lifted the Vince Lombardi in the heart of the Arizona desert. And I'm speechless. No, I'm not speechless. I just keep screaming the same word to myself while smiling and pumping my fists, "YES"!! "YES"!! "YES"!! Sing it like Marv Albert.

I'm worn out. There are a million story lines here to discuss but I'll let the media hit those up before I do. It's 1 am and I gotta go to bed. I leave you with this.....

It's been just three days since the Giants won the Super Bowl and to tell you the truth, each day just keeps getting better.  The weather is warmer, jokes are funnier and the highlight clips are endless.  I mean, how many times have you watched the Manning to Tyree play?  Today I want to get into Eli, Strahan, the Coach, and the Tom Brady Snub

 -ELI, the New York Legend:   Eli Manning is now a New York hero.  I was talking to my good friend John, who is the only Eli Manning fan that I actually know.  When it comes to the Big Blue, there is no player that John stands by like #10.  John's been riding a one Mann bandwagon since the Jints drafted the kid out of Ole Miss in 2004.  John, a lifelong season ticket holder, never criticizes the

President's Day.  What a Holiday!  It's a reminder that winter is winding down and your treated to a nice little three day weekend.  There's nothing more fun than a day off in February.   When March 1st rolls around, it is time for all true sports fans to get ready to rock and roll with the three headed monster.  March Madness, Beisbol and to cap it off the NBA is going to prove why it really is Fantastic  Get jacked folks.  

With the Giants football run, I really have not gotten into College Hoops yet, but now I won't be able to help it.  Conference tournaments are just around the corner and I'm gettin the feeling that this is going to be yet another special March Madness Baby!  In just a week we're all gonna start talking like Dick Vitale Baby!  (By the way, when Dickie V writes an e-mail, do you think he uses exclamation points on every sentence he writes?)  Oh and another quick thing on Vitale.  I was thinking it would be funny to get someone who does a good Dickie V voice  dressed up to resemble the rambling goof that is Dick Vitale.  Ya Know, someone that could play the part.  Of course  Vitale could just play the role himself  Here's the sketch: A documentary that goes through random moments of his life.  The birth of his kids, coaching at Seton Hall, heck even a marriage proposal to his wife.  "Will you marry me Baby?!"  Part of me thinks that this would be hysterical, but there's another part of me that thinks this wouldn't work.  Because Vitle is so damn annoying?"  Cue the college stoner imitation:  Dude, I'm stoked about March Madness.  One thing I know is that you have five special teams that could all give the Miami Heat a run for their money.  Memphis, Duke, North Carolina, UCLA, and how about Kansas?  Every player on that team has the speed of a mongoose.  I can't wait to find out the final destination of these five squads.  March Madness baba!

PART 1 of 2 

I hung out with Babe Ruth last night. Sure, it was only a dream, but this was a such a mystical tale it just had to be real. I started crying like a baby when I awoke, because, well, it just had to be real.

I met him at a dive bar in Hells Kitchen. He was sitting in the corner, beer mug to his left and shot glass to his right,  with a blonde by his side and a brunette on his lap. He wore a grin on his face the size of the grand canyon.  He had that Ruthian look that told you there was no other place that he would rather be. He swigged from his beer mug then kissed his two lovely companions before they exited the bar.  

The empty seat next to him was now mine, and there I was, sippin sizzurp with the Sultan of Swat.  

"I'm a huge fan.  I mean, I never got to see you play, but I've heard the stories Babe.  From your struggles in a Baltimore orphanage all the way to the days when you were blasting those balls in the Bronx.  The called shot, Murderer's Row, barnstorming in the winters and that final speech in the Camel Coat.  Man, it's an honor to meet you sir.  Your an American legend."
