A sampling of clips to keep the good times rolling:

Man, they look and sound super-gay, but I wasn't too far off at the end of that game.

Tom Brady Scoffs at 17 Point Prediction: The Re-Mix "We're only gonna score 17 points? Hahaha. OK."
The Daily News has narrowed the finalists in designating a name for the Manning-to-Tyree miracle at the end of the fourth quarter.
They are:
The Hail Manning
Catch 42
The Hat Trick
The Glendale Grab
The Ty-reach
Among them, I guess I like "Catch 42" the best, but they all seemed so forced. I might also rather go with "The play 'roid-raging cheater Rodney Harrison should've broken up with one of his usual cheap-ass hits."
And Yer 2008 NFL Opener...
I gotta think it'll be Cowboys at Giants on Opening Night, otherwise known as that Thursday night thing they've been doing for a few years. Here's why...
1. The Super Bowl champs should start at home. I looked back a few years, and that seems to be customary.
2. The Super Bowl champs, especially one in a huge TV market like NY, should open in prime time.
3. The Giants' 2008 home opponents are: Dallas, Philadelphia, Washington, San Francisco, Seattle, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Carolina. The Cowboys are the only candidate for a sure-fire, prime-time, opening-week TV ratings bonanza a reunion with their 13 Pro Bowlers we kicked to the curb during the Postseason Revenge Tour.
4. The Giants opened in Dallas on the first Sunday night of this past season. Not sure the NFL would want the same two teams in the same slot (though maybe a better question is, Why wouldn't they want those certain ratings?). And Monday night ain't what it used to be. Now it's for decent teams with no national following, like the Chargers and Saints. So that leaves Thursday night. And there you have it: Cowboys at Giants, opening Thursday of the season. I still have some leftover popcorn for T.O. when he comes into town and the Giants, with me in attendance, storm out of the tunnel introduced as the "reigning Super Bowl champions."
There are still no "We Stomped You Out!" T-shirts on eBay. WTF is taking so long!?
Oooops Paul...I think you listed the AWAY opponents for 2008. At home, besides divisional games, they play San Francisco, Seattle, Baltimore, Cincinnati, and one more from the NFC South (I think).
