I'm going to fire up Madden 2005 and play Green Bay against San Diego on the hardest level. I'll play best 2 of 3 and keep you updated. Please also include picks on this game, as more people care about GB/SD than what reality has given us. Thanks for your time. |

Madden 2005 is sooo 3 years ago Edit: especially since I have Madden 08 for my PS2. |

Too bad New England's MLS team lost in the championship game or they could be working on a 4 sport sweep. Really though, a team that belongs to an entire region? No wonder they keep winning. If the Midwest grouped up to form one team I bet they would kick the New England Patriots faces in. If it wasn't below 0 here and I wasn't on call that weekend I probably wouldn't watch this game either. I guess I'm rooting for the Patriots because a loss is probably a bigger story than a win, so just finish off the rest of league and get it over with so we can move on. |

| Yeah, that's really a shame. There must not have been a Minnesota based phenom that made his way to the Boston area to make their MLS team elite. | ||

| Actually their best player, Taylor Twellman, was born in Minneapolis and apparently his father played for the Minnesota Kicks. So I don't know if that counts as based there or not... | ||

You guys know they sell electronics at stores.....right? We have 20 inch tv's that are in the kitchen or not hooked up. (19 actually....close enough!) Edit: actually the rabbit ears are starting to make a comeback with HDTV being broadcast. It's pretty wild being able to get that good of a picture via rabbit ears. |

I have a wedding and a car and an apartment to pay for, not to mention a raging drug addiction. Won't be buying electronics for a while. Otherwise, I would definitely. All of my stuff is good quality 2005 gear from when I worked at Best Buy. |

You should be able to buy all sorts of stuff on a 12 month no interest deal and put the rest on credit cards and make the minimum payments. This is America, damn it. Go crazy and let paying for everything be next year's problem. |

No one can afford to buy anything so the economy is suffering you say? The solution must be to convince people to spend more money they don't have on things they don't need!!! Then when they can't pay for it later, the government will step in and give everyone free money so they can keep their $300,000 homes on their minimum salary (which will also be bumped up) wages!!! |

Obviously I wasn't in any way shape or form commenting on the state of finances in America and was actually advising maxing out 5 credit cards. Though, Alex could just have gone running on a continuation of my sarcasm. |

2 weeks of preparing for a game that I'm sure most of America views as a disappointing matchup leaves bloggers to find creative ways to fill up the page dedicated to said game. |

Are you beating Alex with the Ugly stick? How rude of you! I meant to re-route the conversation back to the topic. If we want to debate finance, lets open up a new thread and employ Sarah as a keynote speaker. |

The fact of the matter is despite being the "feel good team" during the season, the Giants are at least as big of a "story" now. Not that the whole "story-line" thing is anything more than ridiculous nonsense people convince themselves means something. |

I disagree. The Giants just happened to be hot at the right time. No one likes the Giants. In the past (right before this season) they always were bitching about their team or coach. They are little bitches and I'm bitter about the whole thing. Now I have to go work for 12 hours on a Friday and that's not even the end of my work week. |

The giants beat both teams, granted we are not in the same division, but still, an NFC Championship loss on your home field hurts. If i were forced to root for a team (which I don't think would happen under any circumstances) I would pick the Patriots for that reason alone. Can I just say I'm tired of New York and Boston teams. Wouldn't it be great if they both lost? |

Giants 17 @ Patriots 14
Jeremy: I think we can all agree that what the sports world really needs is another big New York-Boston match-up.We might not hear it a lot this week, because it was so played out this week, but people are unoriginal, so who knows: How many people in the media made some sort of comment along the lines of "Who would have thought there'd be a Manning in the Championship round, and that it WOULDN'T be Peyton!?!" How many headlines, sub-headlines, or lead-in lines can a derivative of that appear in before every person who "thought" of it stops thinking they're Cleaver Dan?
We get it people, the Giants' kickers last name kind of sounds like "Times." The 30th person to make that pun in a national article didn't stop and go "Hmmm.....maybe I should pass on this lame joke that I'm copying from 10 other things written today. Maybe I should write an article about Burress and not another article about a guy who did everything humanly possible to lose the game for his team."
Matt: The Patriots are probably going to win, but the Giants have a shot at winning and I want them to win, so I'm picking them.
Jon: I hope it's as good of a game as the previous time they played. I don't hate New England, but I don't want them to win. But how easily could the Giants actually make all those plays like they did last game? It's quite possible, but there's a chance it won't happen. But the Patriots have played that kind of game every single game this season. They're not always unstoppable, but they have played well enough every game. It's not a sure thing, but it's hard to think of them doing poorly.
