Both defenses have played so well it figures a special teams play might play a factor. ---

At least we get to see the collective ass wipe known as the NY Giants get their asses handed to them by the Patriots. ---

This 49er defense deserves to play in the Super Bowl. The rest of the team deserves to be fired. ---

_Delay of friggin’ game on a game winning kick?!_ Come on. I thought this was professional football. Oh well. They finally wrapped it up. I wonder how many videos of the '07 Superbowl we’ll have to watch the next couple weeks. Or at least how many times we’ll have to endure the Tyree helmet catch (though that was one hell of a catch). ---
