Stupid Things I Saw on TV Last Night #1
January 28, 2008 – 10:02 amLast night, Fox 5 News asked their viewers a question with a pretty obvious answer: “do you think the Giants can beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl?”
What do you think they’re going to say? There are a heck of a lot more Giants fans than Patriots fans watching a New York television station. That’s like asking a New Yorker if they think New York is the center of the universe.
Regardless, New York sports fans always find a way to rewrite history… even recent history:
Funny, I would think the way to show that a team can beat the Patriots is by beating the Patriots, which no team has done this year.
Then, to give the benefit of the doubt, you might consider that the Giants showed they could beat the Patriots by keeping it close in their regular season game, which they lost 38-35. But what about the Eagles and Ravens, who also led the Patriots in the 4th quarter only to lose by 3 points? Nope. Apparently, in New York, those teams don’t count.
Then again, to be fair, Giants fans would never acknowledge the accomplishments of the Philadelphia Eagles - even if they were the team to beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Shouldn’t everyone think that the Giants can beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl? Whether they actually will or not is a different story altogether.
