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.
