What about Tiki Barber? Where is he? In the stands, in the boxes? I’m wondering if he’s going to be interviewed after the game. I’d like to see what he has to say about the Giants. ---

Who’s getting the calls now? Certainly not the Giants. ---

So do the Patriots not have a kicker, or what? ---

I can’t believe it’s still 7 - 3. Well at least we know the Pats usually pull through during the last quarter. Lets hope they live up to this. ---

[QUOTE=Marley23] When he came out of college a few years ago, I remember people talking about what a strong leg he had. How long would that one have been? [/QUOTE] They said it would have been 49, his career long is 52 and he’d made 50-yarders in pre-game. ---

[QUOTE=Darth Sensitive] Question that came up in my lounge. What happens if, on a long field goal attempt, a defensive player makes a great leap at the goalposts and knocks the ball away from going in? [/QUOTE] Then it’s a blocked field goal and a live ball. ---

Call it statistics, call it a jinx, call it the '72 ‘Fins’ team mojo at work, but you know there’s some powerful force going against perfect seasons… especially when the current contenders were caught in a cheating scandal this season. And I second the “eat shit and die, hoodie” sentiment. 😛 ---
