I didn't want to do it.

I didn't want to write this blog, really I didn't. I wanted to smile on the inside, jump up and down and scream when I go to NY on Tuesday. I wanted to let this be about a good team overcoming the odds and playing with heart and kicking some ass. I wanted to avoid becoming a Masshole and rubbing it in everyone of their cocky faces that your playboy of a quarterback choked. I didn't want to suggest that Brady walked in thinking that he would be soaking Gisele in champagne in two hours after he got through this thing they call a football game. BUT some fans seem to be suggesting that the Patriot's threw the game so to avoid the embarrassment that is Spygate. Here in fact Steven seems to suggest that instead of playing their hearts out and achieving 'perfection' with a 19-0 season, Brady, Bill and the other 100 or so people in the Patriot's organization agreed to take it on their face. Or maybe Brady and Bill were the only ones in on it. Maybe the Patriot's, the 'ultimate' team, weren't in on Bill's plan to save his own ass from the embarrassment of Spygate?

I don't agree. I think Eli found his heart, his team worked as a team, and at the end of the day the Giants WON this game. The Patriot's didn't lose this game intentionally. Brady played like the little girl he always does. The Giant's defense broke through the bubble and got the pressure on him and Brady felt it. Five times to be exact.

You get what you give...
The Giants showed class and respect walking into this game. They knew the Patriot's were talented and great and played like that. The Patriot's were cocky "They were inviting us to their parties after the game," said Giants wide receiver Amani Toomer. "They showed us no respect."

Happy Birthday Hansen!

So it's our third day here and I have to say I'm really enjoying myself. Who knew there would be so much to do even when not skiing. Basically I lounged around and watched some TV and then met up with everyone around 3 for lunch and happy hour and then we hung out and had dinner and some more drinks. We ended up back at the condo at like midnight and just hung out and built a fire. Today is Justin's birthday and Timmy went home because he has to work in the morning, Steve is somewhere complaining how sore he is from yesterday and everyone is getting another day of skiing in. Going to grab some breakfast shortly around the corner and then going to go watch the Pats play at 3 and hopefully watch the Giants at 6:30 (I think Steve and I are the only ones who care to watch it). The birthday boy is king for the day so we'll do what he wants. Then tonight we are going to a hibachi restaurant for dinner. Still 24 hours left and I'm not ready to go back to Boston. It's nice getting away every once and a while.

Okay now on to some other stuff...

Suzanne Pleshette has died of pulmonary failure at the age of 70. You may remember her from Newhart.

The Grammy's may not go on as planned as a lot of other things, because of the writers strike.

I missed the game, but Maryland upset North Carolina yesterday.

That's all thats fit to find.
GO GIANTS!!!

Ski Trip

Good Morning All,

Heading out in a few hours to go on a ski/snowboard trip to Killington, VT. Unfortunately for me I neither ski nor snowboard so for me it's just a trip. A chance to get away from the bright lights for a while and hopefully relax, although with the crew thats going I doubt relaxed is going to describe anything this weekend.

Before I go though, I just wanted to say that I saw Cloverfield last night and while everyone else I was with loved it, I was not really all that impressed. I won't ruin it for anyone who is planning on seeing it, but I just felt like some of it was just way too far fetched at some points. Cinematography and the style was cool (be careful if you have a weak stomach, lots of Blair Witch-esque hand held shots). I'd give it 3/5 stars.

Other stuff going on...

With the all the happy baby news lately it's sad to hear that Lily Allen has miscarried.

Coach Coughlin was quoted in a press conference on how they were preparing for the weather for this Sunday's game: "I don't think we are going to have the balls in the freezer." I'm going to go out on a limb right now and say that I'm calling for a Giants/Pats Super Bowl in Arizona. Sorry Brett. LET'S GO GIANTS!!

"Paging Dr. Lohan" As part of her punishment for drunk driving Lindsay Lohan will be spending some time in the morgue

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers may be playing the Super Bowl halftime show, but the Counting Crows are playing the Super Bowl Eve party. Crows also have two new songs up on their website from their upcoming album Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings.

That's all for now. One class then off to the mountains. Have A Great Weekend.

Peaces.
