Superbowl Recap
WOW! What a great game. Not only did I believe the Giants would win, I knew they would! Why? I like to profess that hot teams win in the post season. Whether it’s basketball, baseball, hockey or football… The team that is riding on that hot streak and the high of it tends to win. It’s why a lot of wild card baseball teams fight to stay in the pennant race then use that hot streak in the playoffs.
The biggest thing going against the Giants was the layoff. This is what kills hot teams – just look at last season and the Colorado Rockies. Too much time and the hot team can get cold.
Not today. What a game. It was exciting from kick off till that 1 second left on the clock when they had to officially kneel on the ball. It was great seeing Eli winning and Peyton rooting him on. It was also great to see another of my theories come through – “Big Time” receivers do not win big games. Big time quarterbacks win big games. Burres barely got the catches but Eli got the ball into the endzone, AND, escaped a big sack and gunned it to a “Small Time” receiver. Moss didn’t win any game in the playoffs, Brady did. Unfortunately for Brady, the Giants Defense did everything they saw all the other teams do to Brady – pressure him.
It was a simple game plan. Take away the big receiver and pressure Brady. And why didn’t other teams beat the Pats? Because they didn’t play to win and played to hold the score. NY played to win.
Donna made Chicken Katsu again and it was absolutely awesome. I can’t stop eating that stuff! There was some great beer, and Jake finally turned around and started rooting for the Giants.
The only thing missing from the day was my workout. Notice 2006 and 2007 I had some awesome workouts. Today I had an awesome breakfast at Granville’s in Burbank.
Here’s a look back at past Superbowls and the beer of choice if you’re interested.
