Eli Manning vs. Tom Brady Part II

Those who followed my twitter handle "@BigTymeReportin", already know that my picks yesterday did not pan out. I wanted the Ravens to win over the Pats and the 49ers to win over the Giants.  


Okay, now that I have cleared the air, I am pulling for Eli and the Giants to bring this trophy on home.  There are so many angles about this game that I could mention, but I am going to go in a total different direction.  I am going to ask all of you a question: If Eli Manning wins a second ring, is he better than Peyton Manning?  Sound crazy right...well not exactly.  In every sport when people are comparing two awesome players, they begin speaking on the championship accomplishments between the two.  For instance, is Kobe better than Jordan? Most people would say "NO", Jordan has 6 rings and Kobe has 5.  Is Brady better than Montana?  Most people would say "NO", Montana has 4 Superbowl wins and Brady has 3.  Okay, if that is the criteria for who the better player is, then I have to ask the question again: If Eli wins a second ring on Feb.5th, 2012, is he better than Peyton?

If Eli wins this years Superbowl, then that would give him two in seven years.  Also, he would have beaten arguably the best NFL quarterback in this era (Tom Brady) twice to do it.  Let me give you another parallel, when the Giants went to the Superbowl the last time, they won in overtime (23-20) against the Packers at Lambeau Field in "The Coldest Game of NFL History".  Yesterday, he went into a rainy and windy Candlestick Park and won again in overtime (20-17) against an extremely tough 49ers team.


At this point Deon Sanders may be correct when he says, "believe in Eli".

Denver vs. Pats

I am hoping Tebow wins but my football mind says Pats will take it.

49ers vs. Saints...Who You With

Give me the 49ers on this one.  As a matter of fact, give me the 49ers all the way.

Win Or Go Home

We are a dome team...we are getting three of our starting secondary defenders back this week...our quarterback threw for over 5000 yards this season too....the Silver Crush can get to Breez!!!!

There is no doubt that the game this Saturday will be one to remember for Detroit Lion Fans.  The Lions are coming to the Super Dome against the Saints as underdogs for sure.  This will be both the biggest stage and challenge for Stafford and the fellaz thus far.  We need to make sure that we play disciplined, intelligent, and courageous against the Saints.  I believe that we need to manage the "time of possession" well to keep Breez and the Boys off of the field.  We must also ensure that we do not commit costly penalties and turnovers at any point in the game.

The best advice that I have for my Lions is, "don't play like you been here before, play like you belong there now!"  My prediction just like the 10-6 record this year is that the Lions will win this game and shake up the "football globe".

Oh yeah, Congrats to the Michigan State Spartans for pulling off the win against the GA Bull Dogs!!!!  Go Big 10!!!
