Jerry Ballgame talks about the New England Patriots chances in Super Bowl XLVI, and what it must be like to be a Yankees fan.

So this is what it must feel like to be a Yankee fan. When I was growing up in the western part of Massachusetts, back in the heyday of Mantle, Maris, Berra, and Ford, I had this irrational hatred for the Yankees and the seeming ease with which they returned to the World Series. It felt like every year they would run away with the American League pennant, leaving me to hope that they would be upset in the Fall Classic. Yes we had Ted Williams, probably the greatest hitter of all time, but little else for which to cheer. While five Super Bowl appearances in ten years may not approach the dominance of those New York teams, it certainly seems to have generated an equal amount of ill will.

Jobu breaks down the Giants’ season, and the path they took to end up in Super Bowl XLVII.

With all due respect to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, this post is not about them. If you want to know what I think of the Patriots run to the Super Bowl, wait until Friday, when i’ll be posting my Playoff Picks: Super Bowl Edition. No, friends. This post is about the New York Football Giants, and their improbable run to the biggest game in sports. This season has put me, and all Giants fans, through a gauntlet of emotions that now has a chance to deliver the ultimate payoff, a world championship.

Jobu and Lou Brown come together to form Hats for Bats, a tag team with it’s eyes on taking the Bruins’ Tim Thomas down a peg.

“I believe the Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties, and Property of the People.  This is being done at the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial level. This is in direct opposition to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers vision for the Federal government.”

“Because I believe this, today I exercised my right as a Free Citizen, and did not visit the White House. This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country. This was about a choice I had to make as an INDIVIDUAL.”

“This is the only public statement I will be making on this topic. TT”

Jobu gloats writes about the New York Giants thrilling overtime victory in the NFC Championship game on Sunday night.

Sunday night, the New York Football Giants punched their tickets to Super Bowl XLVII in Indianapolis. Yes, the 2011 New York Giants. The same Giants that lost to the Washington Redskins in week 14 to fall to 7-7. Just five weeks later, they’re on their way to Indianapolis to play for the world championship against some guy named Brady (just kidding, all due respect to the Pats for their win against the Ravens), and they had to go through the San Francisco 49ers to get there.
