The Roundup: Super Bowl Edition
Baseball, College Football, ESPN, Media Gossip/Musings, NBA, Video February 4th. 2008, 7:44am
In homage to the Giants incredible Super Bowl upset over the Patriots, we present Kate Mara, a distant relative to the initial Giants owner, and the actress we want to star in our screenplay … Waaahhhhhhhh! This morning on Stern, our main man Artie Lange said he won a total of $78,000 betting on the New York Giants this postseason … the New York housing market begins to dip. Just hope you didn’t buy in 2006 or 2007 - unless you are cool with staying there 10 years … Eleven guys here picked the Super Bowl, only one had the right team winning … down with Abercrombie! We’ve never purchased anything in that store, and never will … the gambling angle to the game … the Spygate angle … the 1972 Dolphins angle …

Eli Manning for Governor. (Newsday)
It’s like Dan Shaughnessy didn’t think this could actually happen. (Boston Globe)
Pedro Martinez will NOT wait for a table, dammit! (Page Six)
The Patriots lose an epic Super Bowl and this blogger’s first thought is Bill Simmons. (Hakim Drops the Ball)
The owner of the Grizzlies swears he doesn’t want to sell the team; we’ll be exploring the Gasol deal further later in the day. (Commercial Appeal)
Sorry, but we can’t take Rick Neuheisel seriously after that series of articles in the Seattle Times. (Gutty Little Bruins)
Apologizing to Rich Rodriguez? (Charleston Gazette)
Dick Vitale speaks! (Tampa Bay Tribune)
More Super Bowl party recaps, though it looks like you didn’t really miss anything. (NYDN)

TBL,
Did you by chance get to see Sportscenter after the SB? Stuart Scott asked Emmit Smith about the Manning game winning drive. Emmit Smith starts talking about the Giants defense. Scott Levy, who was in the panel started pointing at Keyshawn and laughing. Keyshawn looks at Emmit with the funniest look ever. Hopefully its on youtube.

I only hope that Mercury Morris had a small stroke last night while celebrating and lost the ability to speak. I was pulling for the Pats solely so old Mercury would STFU once and for all.

Tiki Barber on the Today show interviewing Eli—PRICELESS!!
Suck it Tiki!!

Shit! just turned it on … is it over?

VA4Lovers,
Are you kidding me? I am at work (hungover) Damn me for not Tivoing it
February 4th, 2008 at 8:17 am
Damn, someone needs to post that clip of Tiki interviewing Eli pronto. I’m sure Eli took the high road, but it sure would have been nice if he dished it out..
“So Tiki, are my leadership skills still comical? Still laughing now? While you’re off bleaching your teeth and talking about handbag fashion, I’m winning the fucking Super Bowl! Faggot!”

The interview was taped last night after the game but played in the first few minutes of the Today show. I almost fell out of the bed—he looked so uncomfortable. That’s what happens when you grow up in Blacksburg and then decide to go to UVA! It bites you in the butt sooner or later…Go HOKIES!!
They also joked Meredith Viera who picked the Pats–they flew a big banner over Rockefeller Center that said “Giants Rule–Meredith Drools” hysterical…

I just remembered the classic line from the interview: Eli says “I knew if we had the RIGHT GUYS playing, we could win it”
DIE DIE DIE Tiki!!! SUCK IT!!!!!!!!!

Anyone skipping work?
February 4th, 2008 at 8:42 am
TBL, I wish I had enought foresight to take a vacation day, but I didn’t so here I am, suffering at work.
February 4th, 2008 at 8:44 am
I’m at work, which happens to be home. Does that count? Didn’t think so…
February 4th, 2008 at 8:58 am
Going in at 1pm; wish I had not scheduled a meeting for this afternoon or I would be staying home…

Kate Mara is no distant relative. Wellington is her grandfather.

As a former Abercrombie employee, that is nothing compared to some of the shirts I have had to remove from the store. For example, the Asian cleaners shirt, “Two Wongs Make It White”.

February 4th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Kate Mara is Wellington’s Granddaughter and her dad Chris is the Vice President of Player Personnel and her great Grandfather is Art Rooney of the Steelers…and yes she is smoking hot.

@ Dirty Sanchez - Yes Kate Mara is much, much > Gisele. Can we all stop over-rating Gisele now?
February 4th, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Kate Mara was in Shooter, that Marky Mark movie.
