Brady vs. Manning

If you'll forgive my indulgence for a moment, I'd like to do a brief compare and contrast of New England Patriots star quaterback Tom Brady to New York Giants quaterback Eli Manning. This should show us what we can expect from Sunday's big game. 

                        Tom Brady                 Eli Manning                  
Supermodel girlfriend ?   Yes                              No

Chosen for cologne ad
due to masculinity?        Yes                             No

Super Bowl Rings           3                                 0

Mouth Breather?           No                              Yes

Career QB Rating        92.9                             73.4

In a clearly jinxed ad
claiming to be
 "unstoppable?"                No                              Yes

Offseason 
hobbies?   Sees Gisele in Paris      "Antiquing with his mom and fiance"

People surprised 
at success?                       No                               Yes

Fashionable facial hair
and  cleft chin?        Yes                                No


So as much as I'd like it if the Giants were to pull out an incredible, earth shattering victory over the heavy favorite, God's team, The New England Patriots, when you look at the facts, it just doesn't look good for Eli and the Giants. Here's my prediction for Super Bowl XLII from University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona:

New England Patriots 28  New York Giants 17 

And lastly, before I go, here is today's tribute to the Philadelphia Eagles, and probably the greatest running back to ever play in the NFL, Brian Westbrook. He went to two schools with awesome names, DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Maryland, and Villanova University. How cool is that. Not only were the school names cool, but how sweet must it be to grow up in a town named after a hotel chain? I'd want to live in a Hyatt for my formative years, wouldn't you? So thank you, Hyattsville, Maryland, for giving us a true American gem.                 

Wikipedia was used for both the Eli Manning quote, and the Brian Westbrook information.

Well Stated. I give New York more of a chance then you do. I think they will pressure Brady, and may make the game interesting. In the end they will lose.
