I'm back, and so are the Patriots

It has truly been quite some time since I've last updated my blog, and to those loyalists out there I apologize for the time off. Between school and internship hunting I have not been able to find time for my writing, now with the hunting behind me I can relax and spread the focus. Speaking of the hunting behind me, I have some FANTASTIC news to share with you. I have landed an internship with ESPN Radio 1240 The Boss out of Staunton, Virginia. I will be working in their advertising and marketing department, but more importantly I will serve as a play by play announcer for the Valley Summer League team the Waynesboro Generals.



I will update more information at a later date, now enough about me let's move on to the big game, Super Bowl XLII!

New York Giants v. New England Patriots, 6:00 pm ET, Fox.

This is going to be short, by now I can only assume you have been engulfed by countless hours of TV watching, magazine reading, pointless fact memorizing about the big game. The Giants aren't in the big game because of luck, but because of patience, change and determination. The Patriots are the fan favorite and easy pick but here are my 5 reasons the Giants can win the game.

1) Eli Manning- No interceptions, and four TD passes in the post-season. Higher QB rating than Brady (means very little) but his pose is very Brady-like. If the Giants O-Line can protect Manning the game will be close.

2) Giants Offensive Line- Center Shaun O'Hara anchors a very talented offensive line. O'Hara is a captain because he understands the game, knows the system , and is a decorated veteran. Remember O'Hara did not play the entire game against New England after suffering an injury in the first half. His presence is definitely important.

3) Giants Secondary- Four rookie starters, four players for Tom Brady to pick on. The Giants secondary lasted for 3 quarters when these teams first met up, if they can last four quarters and stick with Randy Moss the game will be a lot closer.

4) Defensive Line- A lot (nearly all) the credit goes to Umenyiora and Strahan, but those two wouldn't be nearly as dangerous without the help from the pressure up the middle. If Fred Robbins and the rest of the Giants D can keep pressure up the middle constant #72 and #92 will have a big day.

5) Antonio Pierce- The undrafted superstar has made a name for himself in the league, he is a natural leader and the defensive play caller in the middle of the Giants defense. No offense is more complex and deceiving than the Patriots, if Pierce has done his studying (and a little bit of luck) the Giants defense will give Bellichik and Tom Brady a run for their money.

If the Giants can play a nearly flawless game for 60 minutes, Super Bowl XLII could be a game for the ages. With a little bit of luck and upset could be in the making.

Seany Says: New York 38-New England 34
