Nah. While I definitely prefer Manhattan Clam Chowder, I'm not going to get terribly stressed out over two teams I don't particularly care about beating each other. Manhattan Clam Chowder should win, though, just for the LULZ.

90% of the viewership will be watching just because its on and its football (not really rooting for any team), or the whole "for the commercials" thing.
Its a reason to party, that is all.

Amazingly we agree on something.
I don't give a shiat either way, I guess I can pull for the pats a little more since I hate giants fans who are some of the most ignorant and obnoxious fans in all of football.
Wasn't it just a couple months ago that giants fans were screaming that eli is shiat and coughlin needs to be fired? Now both are the greatest ever, god its like all yankee fans are also giants fans.

After seeing the Yankees in 7 world Series, winning 5 and the Giants in 4 (will be 5 on Sunday) winning 3, I've gotten over the nutty shiat I used to do. Now if they lose, it's damn,wait til next year, not "I'll be on the roof with the Ginsu if you need me".
Now a Browns or Lions fan might have a coronary.

Oh good, I was afraid we wouldn't see this old chestnut. Because it's so unreasonable for fans to be unhappy with a coach when a team goes from 6-2 to 7-7 after a disastrous loss to the Redskins.
As for Eli, you're just making shiat up. Nobody wanted him gone this year, he doesn't play defense.

Since the Giants' failure to close out the game against the Eagles last year was the only way the Packers had a shot to win Super Bowl XLV, I suppose it's not so bad if they get to win it this year. Kind of makes the depression about the sh*tty game not so bad - we just switched years we should've won.
The Pats winning would kinda suck, but it's not like I haven't had to see them win a bunch of SBs already.

Getting ready for the SuperForeverAloneBowl. All my football-watching buddies out of town, one of them left me the keys to his apartment so I can at least watch it on his 50" hdtv instead of my crappy 32" with no HD cable. So... watch out for me being really active in the SB thread this Sunday.

Funny I did listen to NY sports talk and they did say he was just lucky one season and quite a few asked when they were going to get a real QB.
NYers arent really fans they just jump on the bandwagon when they start winning, besides its easy to sell out stadiums when there are 15 million people in the general area.

I guess this Super Bowl thread is as good as any place to ask this...
I want to make something delicious and/or ridiculous for my Super Bowl party. I was thinking that this year I would take the leap and finally build one of those meat explosion monstrosities. However, I've been eating a bit healthier so I want something a bit less deadly. I'm not looking for celery and veggie sticks, but I'm staying away from Luther Burger levels of fat/carbs.
Any suggestions on something to cook? No pizza, because my wife makes the excellent Pillsbury
pizza bubble ring
(new window) and my lazy brother always comes through with a box of Totino's pizza rolls.

Maybe I should track down the madd dogg audio clip of the callers he had on about how eli is not peyton or how hes not a real leader..........
What was it, 2 years ago when coughlin won his ring with them? F*ck, he had to retool all the WRs and everyone expected them to win 14 games every year, you people sound like chicago fans talking about ditka in his heyday...........ok, ditka vs god...........ditka, but its a close match so gods got nutin to be ashamed of, it is ditka after all........

Tha grandeur, tha lights, it all comes down 2 Sunday, bro. I got my $$$ on tha Giants. I already bought all my squares. I got tha Bud Ice Limes on ICE. I got tha Twisted Teas. But the flyest thing I'm gonna unleash @ tha party is tha Vodka Gummi Bears I have marinating in tha fridge. U kno about them Bears? What you do iz U take a foil turkey pan and fill it with gummi's and then you fill it with Vodka until it'z level with the top layer of bears. Then ya gots ta have patience cuz it takes like 2 weeks for tha magic. But, once thurrr done, they are instant panty droppers. Shorty's eat them like candy & don't even know how bombed they are. Word on tha block iz that Madonna is playing Vogue so if U got some drunk ass biatches in ur crib U kno that song is gonna get them on the pole.

2 LBS Harbio Gummi Bears
1.75 Liter Whip Cream Vodka (or yo favorite flavor BUT recall, yo are trying 2 get biatches drunk so raise tha roof)

I started a batch last week. They don't need two weeks. If you run out and buy a large bag of Haribo gummi bears and a handle of cheap vodka, you can start them soaking tonight or tomorrow morning, and they'll be saturated by Saturday morning.
This next part is very important - also get a can of frozen juice concentrate, and mix it with about half of the normal amount of water, then let the bears soak in those for another 24 hours. The juice concentrate does two things. First, it gives the bears a flavor other than "Five O'Clock Vodka", and if you only saturate the bears with booze but not the concentrate, you'll find that the bears have this hard center, almost like they're frozen.
I was fully prepared for my bowl of vodka gummi bears to take 7-10 days to be ready, turns out they were ready in a little over 24 hours.

Ok, so heres the game plan. Early 7:00am breakfast, light, some cereal or oatmeal, juice, to set the base. The Baby Back Ribs go into the smoker. Low n slow...Set out some early snackies.....crackers/cheese/summer sausage.....first Shiner Blonde is set for liftoff about 11:00 Red beans n rice into the pot......anyone who shows early gets a sammich n chips. Beer continues, shifting gears into the Johnny Walker Blue about 1:00......the music is getting louder......the wings, the ribs and the red beans n rice are all happy on the stove/smoker. It's getting close now...the early Teevee Bullshiat is in full force. We play horseshoes and lounge about.....beers are flowing. My date is already naked. She likes football, or so she says. I don't care. She brought Tequila. Now I understand. I love this. It's 4:00 and everyone is getting bozo. I manage to set all the food out and nobody cares. Total success. Everyone eats anyway. Game starts and at that point my obligations as host has ended. I control the teevee and the bar. It's every man/woman for him/herself. The police show up about half time and ask us to turn the volume down. We comply and start an orgy by the 3rd quarter. I wake up in the fountain in front of the apt. complex about midnight with one boot and just my tighty whities on. Great success. I have monday off planned because my moma didn't raise no fool. That is the plan.........
