That is awesome bro. Its the weekend....I would be SOO tempted to drive back to Jersey just to be there. i would just need to find where, when, and if I could come in off the street  Besides I will be coming home to watch the Super Bowl with my family and fellow Giants brethren.

Well, the turnout wasn't quite as good as I'd hoped, but I still met Mathias Kiwanuka (whose leg seems to now be almost fully healed), Brandon Jacobs, Gibril Wilson, Plaxico Burress, and backup O-lineman Grey Ruegamer (he played center against Tampa and came in at guard against Green Bay). It was a lot of fun!

No football tomorrow  We're approaching that really sh*tty 2 months between the Super Bowl and Opening Day.

Hey man that's pretty cool. Besides those are still some pretty good players. Wish I could've met them. And you're right, this 1 week is bad and then after the Super Bowl

This Sunday is the Super Bowl.
I can't wait.
I'm going to be bold and make a prediction....
The team that scores more points will win.

For any Packers fans out there, take a look at how close they were to playing this Sunday instead of the Giants. The interception is the yellow circle to the right. Jennings is wide open on the left; so is Grant in the middle, and so it Donald Lee in the middle deeper. Heartbreaking...

Interesting to see how close to association football it is... 3 attackers, 5 defenders.

Well, Brett Farve IS the single most prolific thrower of interceptions ever  That really is sad, though; he had one receiver open by two steps, one open by a step, and one totally uncovered, yet he threw it to the guy who barely had 6 inches on the cornerback. Well, he's got plenty of time now to work out the mental kinks before next season

It's a great game, Guigo, it's probably the national sport now where baseball used to be. It actually gaining a better following internationally - one of the games this year was played in London.

I'm more nervous for this one than I was for the other three...of course the first one I wasn't nervous at all because I had no expectation of a win.

I taped Sportcenter this morning because they were interviewing Kevin Everett of the Bills. It's amazing that this guy isn't strapped to a wheelchair. To me, that's the best story of the year. Even more so than an undefeated season.

Yea, it's nothing short of a miracle with Kevin.
With all the terrible stories too, there's always the few nice ones.

It's getting popularity here too... kids invented the "beach American football". 
It's well disputed, there's a championship too... it's not rugby btw.
The best part is here... check the videos:

I still remember watching the Chiefs and Jets from my college dorm room, and Dennis Byrd colliding with Scott Mersereau and lying motionless. As much as a Chiefs fan that I am, all loyalties flew out the window. Football isn't THAT important. E

Somewhat ambivalent towards the outcome but I would love to see an ending like the one the Titans had several years ago where the player ends up a yard short of the goal line as time runs out. In other words, one play to determine the champion. But I dread the long drought until August that comes afterward.

I wonder how similar the rules and strategies are to American football. Obviously, the lack of goalposts probably makes the biggest difference, but I would be curious to see the other way that the rules differ.

I never saw them playing live... but just like beach volleyball or beach soccer certain rules had to be modified/adapted.
Maybe you didn't see the videos but the beach American football is also played by girls!!!
