I need to find a sports bar in Scottsdale with Sunday Ticket.

I’m enjoying that this premise of this article is that the New York Giants are some routinely-dispatched Goliath that Drew Brees can overcome as long as he plays a great game. Umm, that’s not how it works! The Giants are not “giving him a chance” to make any kind of statement!

(BVDR)

Though I appreciate the opposite-jinx quality that this article possesses. It’s the opposite of reading shit like, “Will the Giants win the Super Bowl by a lot of points this year?” Right, KatieBakes?

Yeah, I can read articles like this all day. Yesterday it was: how will the Giants stop Shockey? Good question: Shockey is like a Sean Avery - you just never want to have to play against him, although having him on your side presents its own set of issues. I love Shock and it took me awhile to admit to myself that the Giants didn’t really need him, and that maybe Eli was better off without him. Still, he could easily have a big day. (If he did, would that count towards Brees’ “statement”?)

Related: this guy gives the Saints a 62% probability of winning. 

In other news, I always hate playing former coaches. Remember when the Giants coaching staff consisted of Jim Fassel, Sean Payton, and John Fox? God that seems like forever ago. I guess it kind of was.
