"Do you believe in unlikelihoods!?"

Hello, world. Since I have been unable to secure employment in the last 9 months following my graduation, I have decided to give the world my unsolicited opinion on everything. Hence, this blog.

First off, go Giants. I vividly remember reading the sports section of the Star Ledger after their week 2 loss to Green Bay, declaring the 2007 Giants defense as the worst in franchise history. All these months later, who could have predicted they would hold the NFL's most prolific offense to 14 points?

As for Tom Brady and crew, you'll have to excuse me if I find it hard to feel sorry for them. Brady already has 3 rings, not to mention a harem of exotic supermodels and actresses. I'd be willing to wager good money that the Patriots smiled knowingly to one another when they found out they'd be facing the Giants in Arizona, as if to say their quest for perfection was all but inevitable against the 5th seed from the NFC. Who's smiling smugly now?

Noteworthy for Giants fans must be the conspicuous absence of Tiki Barber and Jeremy Shockey. Without the glare from these two outspoken stars, the Giants flourished. Say what you want about Tiki's comments, but any true fan knows that he was the only bright spot on their roster for about 6 seasons. Despite his prior commitment to the team, he will now be remember only as a ringless traitor to the cause.

As for Shockey, do we even want him back? He was always overflowing with talent and emotion, though it never really translated into results. Kevin Boss didn't exactly set the world on fire, but his contributions were felt throughout New York's championship run.

On another note, the commercials were overwhelmingly underwhelming, as was the commentary from Joe Buck. Despite being a long-time Giants fan, I actually don't mind Troy Aikman as an announcer. Joe Buck, on the other hand, is the bane of my existence. He couldn't open his mouth without inserting a Patriot man stick directly inside it. His anti-NY bias has been evident all season long and came to an infuriating climax this past Sunday.

Anyway, that'll be all for my first foray into blogging. It's been a lot like my first time with a woman, except I don't find myself crying and profusely apologizing afterwards. Though maybe I should be.
