I was worried about the game. The field was too cold for hard hits and running plays and I expected season-ending injuries. I don't put a lot of stock into bizarre statistics like 'Only 3 teams out of 49 have ever won at Lambeau when the temp goes below freezing' and 'Favre is 89% in the post-season at home' and 'If the Redskins win the week before Election Day, that's a good omen for Democrats'.

I was also chagrined to hear Chris 'Kiss Of Death' Carter pick the Packers with gusto. He's a regular Schleprock. Just a curse. I expected a very close game with Packers winning as long as Favre didn't throw one of his interceptions.

So you're expecting the Giants to win the Super Bowl, I take it?

The field may have been cold, but they now have a heated field at Lambeau: like they warm the fields for soccer in Germany and other countries. New technology I guess.

****Redskins win the week before Election Day, that's a good omen for Democrats'. ****

They used to say if the NFC team won the super bowl that was good for the republicans. Of course that was from the 80's when the NFC dominated.

2004 AFC Patriots - Bush (R) wins

2000 NFC Rams - Bush (R) wins

1996 NFC Cowboys - Clinton (D) wins

1992 NFC Redskins - Clinton (D) wins

1988 NFC Redskins - Bush (R) wins

1984 AFC Raiders - Reagan (R) wins

1980 AFC Steelers - Reagan (R) wins

1976 AFC Steelers - Carter (D) wins

1972 NFC Cowboys - Nixon (R) wins

1968 NFL Packers - Nixon (R) wins

Republicans are 3-1 if an AFC team wins and Republicans are 4-2 (3-3 on popular vote) if an NFC/NFL team wins.

Well, to tell you the truth, I'll have to wait and see, but I am feeling good about it right now. Here's why:

I liked our chances against the Cowboys from the beginning, but was worried about the Pack early in the week. I began to gain confidence when i saw favre interviewed with a self-confident smile on his face. What nailed it for me was the trash talk from the Packers (woodson and harris) about the Giants playing dirty. I have followed the Giants closely for over 40 years, and that's one thing they are not: dirty.

I knew the Pack was distracted and overconfident when I heard that BS.

The champion will be determined by who is peaking 2 weeks from now. The Patriot's best ball may be behind them They still might beat my guys, but I will watch their body language and what they say in the run-up to the game. The G-men played them very well the first time and they just may beat them. To be continued...
