My next door neighbor, a Giants fan, just bet me a 6-pack on the game. She drinks Coors, so I’ll be out maybe $5 if New England loses. If the Pats win, she’ll be buying some Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA…I think a 4-pack goes for around $10. GO PATS! ---

I picked the Giants mainly to have someone to root for - but one of the guys I used to work with actually bet on the Patriots because: \*Vegas has been hit too hard with bets for the Giants, so the fix is in on the Patriots to win. \*This struck me as so incredibly stupid that I had to root all that much harder for the Giants. ---

Huh. That’s [some cake](http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150666735633455&set=a.496443333454.299439.286845273454&type=1&theater) that Carlo’s Bakery made for the Giants. I especially like the fondant jerseys. Oh, wait. > [@Hal\_Briston](#): > > And [my contribution](http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=3103742599730) to today’s party. And yeah, I did post pics of my cake to the Carlo’s page. Not saying “Hey, you can’t use my idea!!”, just more of a “hey, how about a little shout-out when you steal my idea!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/go-giants/611866.md?page=1)
