A quick look at Super Bowl XLII

QUARTERBACKS

  • Giants — Eli Manning — no personality, pulled draft day stunt
  • Patriots — Tom Brady — 3 rings, dates super-models, baby daddy and full-fledged celebrity

    Neither are likable, but Brady ruined 1999 Senior Day

    CITY

  • New York — capital of the world
  • Boston — nice in its own right, but not New York

    ACTUAL STADIUM LOCATION

  • Giants — East Rutherford, N.J.
  • Patriots — Foxoboro/Foxborough, Mass.

    Foxborough is probably a nicer place than Easter Rutherford, but I like Jersey more.

    UNIFORMS

  • Giants — throwbacks, stripes on the whites jerseys, black shoes, classic helmet logo
  • Patriots — modern with unnecessary accents; flying Elvis logo, white shoes

    Duh.

    FIELD SURFACE

  • Giants — rug
  • Patriots — rug

    They both lose.

    STADIUM

  • Giants — Bland, boring stadium with excellent sightlines from every seat. Jimmy Hoffa may buried in one of the end zones there.
  • Patriots — Unique features

    It would be a slam-dunk for the Patriots if they hadn’t turned into a bunch of babies and torn up the grass.

    FAMOUS FAN

  • Giants — Carl Brutananadilewski
  • Patriots — Bill Simmons

    Not even close — Carl!

    The Giants win on almost all of the above points which will probably be the only winning they do today. Not surprisingly, I’m pulling for the G-men, a triumph of Jersey provincialism. I would really like to see them win and restore balance to the Force in the New York vs. Boston rivalry, but I don’t expect it. I anticipate the Patriots winning big and running up the score.

    I may live blog the game too.
