Is There Anyone Not Guaranteeing a Super Bowl Victory?
See, this is why there shouldn't be two weeks before the Super Bowl. It allows too many people to go out on a limb and make stupid predictions.

Today's entrant into the guarantee club is Plaxico Burress, who when asked for his prediction on the game said, "23-17." Of course, Plax never said which team would have the winning score, but I'm guessing he thinks it'll be the Giants. Although it would be funny if later he said, "I meant the Patriots would win 23-17."

In addition to that, Strahan said "History will be ours." Indeed it will. Losing a Super Bowl always gives you a place in history. Not a good one, but a place nonetheless.

I should also mention that Giants co-owner Steve Tisch also guaranteed a victory.

And don't think it's just the Giants doing this. No sir. Pats fans are doing a lot of trash talking as well, via books and shirts.

Some loser Pats fan is selling hideous 19-0 shirts on a web site in an attempt to jump the gun (and make some cash). If I were a Patriots fan I wouldn't want to wear these shirts even if the team won the Super Bowl.

And how about the Boston Globe? Such a classy paper would never do something like gauantee a victory for the Pats, right?

Wrong.

Seems they have a paperback book ready to go once the Pats win the Super Bowl. My guess is that the book is completely written except for the Super Bowl chapter.

Even Men's Warehouse President George Zimmer is guaranteeing things. When he came on my TV screen last night, I said, "George, will the Pats win?" And he said, "I guarantee it."

And if there's anyone I trust for my gambling purposes, it's George Zimmer.

The best part is since media day is about to start, odds are someone will make yet another guarantee. Or guarantee that someone will make a guarantee.

I guarantee it.

Hrm... Originally I thought the G-men had a chance. But, with all this talking they're doing I'll go ahead and say Pats by 24.

I notice that in said news article, they have Giants players, and people directly affliated with the Giants making the predictions, whereas the only ones making predictions on behalf of the Patriots are the fans, (duh, I GUARANTEE Giant fans are doing the same), The hometown newspaper of the Patriots, (once again, the New York papers are probably skewed on behalf of the Giants), and a president of a Men's Warehouse??? Who the hell is he? Probably just one of millions of people who are guaranteeing that the Patriots are gonna win. 

 

But anyway, my post here is most to say that because Giants are predicting they are gonna win, whereas no Patriots are guaranteeing wins; It's just gonna be more fuel for the Patriots...like they needed more.

 

For more on this read Seth Wickersham's article, (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs07/columns/story?columnist=wickersham_seth&id=32146570) Looks like the Giants already broke one of the don'ts.... I wonder if they are praying though?
