The Patriots Are in a Position to Settle All the Family Business
I’m not one to jinx anything by getting ahead of myself and making stupid, Freddie Mitchell-like predictions. As Lincoln said “The hen is the wisest of all the animal creation because she never cackles until after the egg has been laid.” And you can see how well things turned out for him. There are still (God willing) 8 quarters of football in the Patriots season and weird things can and usually do happen so I’m not about to shoot my mouth off prematurely like I do every other part of my body.
That said I can’t shake this notion that we could be witness to the most unbelievable story line in NFL history. Not the Harbaugh brothers meeting in the Super Bowl… which would be pretty incredible… or Tom Brady trying to beat the team he grew up rooting for and tying his boyhood hero’s championship record. What I’m talking about would crush them all.
Yesterday your old pal Uncle Buck called from the Barstool Writers Retirement Village in between games of cribbage with Manzo (they both say “Hi”) and he made this point. During the Bradichick Dynasty, the Patriots have lost exactly 5 postseason games. In order they were to: Denver (2005), Indianapolis (2006), the Giants (2007), Baltimore (2009) and the Jets (2010). And while again- I can’t stress this enough, knocking wood, crossing all crossable parts- they have a chance in this one season to get revenge on all of them:
-They gave the Jets a bullet in the eye and kept them out of the playoffs
-They trapped the Broncos in the revolving door and shot them in the heart
-Sunday they can bust in on the Ravens and riddle their bed with bullets
-Then if the Giants win, gun them down right on the sidewalk
-And finally finish off the Colts by shooting them in the back right on the steps of their own stadium.
It would be incredible. All the family business settled in one season. All the bad blood gotten rid of. No more scores to settle. I’ll be honest with you. I’m not one for style points and I don’t care who a Boston team beats so long as they win. But you can’t overestimate what exorcising the ’03 Yankees demons meant to the ’04 Red Sox or going all Beatrix Kiddo on the Flyers did for the 2011 Bruins. Again, it’s a long shot and a lot of things have to fall in place for it to happen. But if it does, will I agree to quit whining about Super Bowl XLII and reject all its works?
“I will.” In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti…
@JerryThornton1
jerry u sir are a wise, wise man
i came
Everyone wants to see Pats/Giants II unless you are from Baltimore and San Fran
Awesome
Damn, that really would be a hell of a Fuck You
Can’t wait. Go Pats.
Jerry great length on this blog, I have a short attention span and this was just right…
They need to beat Baltimore for any of this to matter. Everyone seems to already have them penciled in for the Super Bowl. It is like an epidemic in the city. Nobody is paying any attention to the AFC Championship Game. This is a huge mistake. Just ask the Jets these last two years.
I’m sure Brady’s just chomping at the bit to see 90, 91 and 72 again, moron. We may just roll 92 out to stomp his prissy a$$ again, too. 18-1
jerry I like you man, but for all the bill simmons bashing that goes on here I think it’s pretty fucking funny you just stole his last podcast with mike lombardi right down to the godfather reference. If you’re gonna steal at least be honest about it
sj39 do you have paranoid dilusional psychzophrenia?
The other day you were flipping out about Bellicheat and the patriots being cheaters and shit…
Fuck is the matter with you bro?
i want the 49ers…couldn’t live with Giant fans if they beat the Pats again
The only way the Pats can ever get revenge on the Giants, is if the Giants were undefeated going into the superbowl and the Patriots won. Other than that, who cares. The best part of that game was the 18 – 1 in your face finish by the Giants. A wild card team that took out the undefeated. Oh and I guess it might be worthy to note that it was also the superbowl.

I doubt the Pats will get past the ass kicking the Ravens will give them and if they do I can’t see them beating the Giants or Niners but hey, look on the bright side, no matter what the Pats will still have the gayest QB in the league. No one can take that away from them”
sj39, the least interesting man in the world
Exodus, we’re fans, we can look past this matchup in hopes of setting up a rematch with the Giants. I think Belichik will have the boys focused on Baltimore this week. I’m sure in Baltimore and SF they are talking about the Harbaugh Bowl.
Truly sad that Jerry had to plagiarize Bill Simmons.
How many draft picks should that cost the Patriots, Jerr?
Jerry this line from Vegas just posted for the SuperBowl XXVI Odds as follows:
New England Patriots – 6/5
New York Giants – 3/1
San Francisco 49ers – 3/1
Baltimore Ravens – 3/1
The Patrots are now the Las Vegas oddsmakers favorites to win SB XXVI. Let’s hope the HC of the NEP can keep this info from the boys so he can continue to play the “no respect” card… My prediction as follows: NE 38 Bal 24 NY Giants 24 Niners 23 In the Super Bowl I like New England 31-27 final.
Ha ha, pig_benis, what a dolt.
Correction… Ravens odds are 6/1
As the giants were finishing off GB I had this exact conversation with my brother. Sorry people, Bill Simmons is not the only Patriot fan who realized this was te ultimate revenge tour.
How about Bernard Pollard being on the Ravens now and a SB in Indy!
I’ve got a case of the vapors just thinking about how awesome it will be if it goes down that way. Boo—–yeah.
Whether you plagiarized this or not Jerry, I’m glad you said it. It would cap off an amazing year. No doubt everyone will be talking about this on the radio soon.
Cromags Marcus Pollard was a receiver with Indy and now doing reality TV. Bernard is a strong safety.
Hey Jerry, be careful what you wish you dick head. The Giants have the same EXACT pass rush as 07 except now they have JPP who is younger, stronger, longer and faster than strahan, Osi is playing out of his tits, Tuck has regained form, Joseph, Canty, And Bernard are forcing more interior pressure up the middle than we’ve ever hard, our corners and safeties just realized they’re playing an NFL season, and Eli Manning is 20 to 30 times better, more composed, and more deadly than in 2007. In 07 The Giants just had to make sure Eli didn’t make too many mistakes, now they lean on him to win, Oh yeah and our receiver core is more deadly than ever before in the history of the Giants franchise dating back to the 1930′s. So, good luck, because you’re shit team and their shit defense is gonna need it, I don’t know if you noticed but, we just CRUSHED the Pack and there team is built EXACTLY like yours, no defense what-so-ever, an Elite QB, Great receivers, and a decent/shit running game. I’m not saying this game is in the bag if its a rematch but I will say If I were a betting man, I’d pick the G Men over Tom Brady’s Shitty Britches and the New England patriots. BTW if Brady does have to face the Giants front 4 again ( and by 4 i mean 8 because we can rotate that many guys in and out to stay fresh without losing any edge) whats the over/under on how many pounds of shit in going to be in his pants by the 2nd quarter? I say 20, and I pick the over.
^ Hey bro, you missed his point. But go ahead, write another essay.
@k1ddo- you make decent points except #1- Eli is terrible, you won in 07 cuz tyree caught a ball with glue on his helmet, and the Patriots ate a far superior team- even with a rebuilding D. You are a typical. Oh mouth New York Fan. If it were the Jets instead of the G Men, you’d have your faggot green hat on. You have a couple problems on your hands… The first one is San Fran is going to ruin that pathetic offense the giants have. I’ll give you Cruz and Nicks are great, but that’s it. The Niners are putting an end to the mediocre team the Giants are. Them you can come up for air from Eli’s nutsack while you two watch Brady hoist his FOURTH title in 10 yrs and them you can listen to that faggot retarded looking QB ask you if you think he’s an elite QB like his brother and Brady. Good luck loser.
75% of Eli’s passing yards are from hail marys (all over the field) and after the catch with his receivers breaking 3 tackles to the end zone. that won’t work against a bend but don’t break D. Pats will expose the fraud that Eli is (most overrated superbowl MVP performance in the history) and put an end to this retarded ELIte talk
K1ddo- I will BET YOU ANYTHING the Patriots destroy Eli in SB. No team has EVER beaten Brady and Belichick 3 times and the mediocre shitty ass Giants won’t be the first. Guaranteed.
titletown…you realize the pats lost to the giants this season too right? Ah shit must have forgotten that
Jerry I believe it was the Giants that ended the Jets season this year sorry bud
^k1ddo good luck rotating in 8 guys on the d-line against the pats hurry up. Giants secondary is shit, and that game would be a shoot out. Eli has had a clutch season but I’m going to take Brady every time
Yeah a Harbaugh brothers Super Bowl would be epic….a 6-3 final score I’m sure. Who wouldn’t want to see tha…..ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz….
I’m nervous as fuck about the patriots to be honest. We haven’t beaten a good team yet this year. We only played two good teams, the steelers and the giants, and we lost both of those. I mean, the giants won in semi-miraculous fashion (the ballard catch that put the giants in pats territory), but they also didn’t have hakeem nicks playing in that game, and he scares the fuck out of me. Plus their D-line is nasty and has given brady problems before. I think we can take the ravens, but I’d rather see alice smith and the niners in the big game. The giants are on fire right now.

Didn’t the Giants beat a team they lost to in the regular season. Cant play both sides of the fence pussdick.
Ravens Giants Rematch!
Umm actually the Giants put “the bullet in the Jets eye” when they beat them on Christmas Eve, effectively ending their season. You should be thankful for that because they probably would have beat you tools again. Giants all day.

Dommyd24- that’s why in my post it said ” there has never been a team to Beat Brady and Belichick THREE times in a row, and the Giants won’t be the first” fucking pussnut
Odds that all Jets fans collectively commit suicide if the Giants and Patriots meet in the Super Bowl again?
Ravens will win it all no doubt about it. pussnuts.
You arrogant cocksucking piece of shit pats fans. Especially Jerry. Do you assholes still not realize that the pats have yet to beat a winning team this year? Not one! Now you think your soft pats team is going to beat the Ravens, who are infinitely tougher than the soft pats. I remember this exact sort of cockiness last year before you idiots lost to the jets. At home nonetheless! And then the fucking arrogance of thinking the midgets have a chance against the Niners. Jerry and the fucking moronic pats fans. Looking ahead like the idiots you are. Newsflash, the Niners are a much better team than the one that already beat the midgets this year. At Candlestick. Honey Badger don’t care. Honey Badger don’t give a shit. Honey Badger takes what it wants, including stomping the midgets at Candlestick Park and going to the Super Bowl! If the soft pats actually beat a winning team this year, they’ll get destroyed by the other Harbaugh brother.
Great job Jerry!! A Go Pats!!
To add onto what all these delusional Pats fans are saying, the Giants also wont beat the Pats in the Superbowl because they clearly have never done that before.
Love how all these dumbass pats fans seem to be forgetting the only fact that matters.
I am pretty certain that the Harbaugh brothers meeting in the superbowl is a way better storyline then the bullshit you just tried to throw together, i am pretty sure the Jets fucked themselves over and the revenge angle doesn’t really work that well with a team thats won 4 superbowls in the last decade or so…
the argument that the pats haven’t beat a winning team is retarded. they beat all of the final four teams (packers, bears, steelers, jets) last year and lost in the first round and so who they played in the regular season doesn’t mean shit.
Jerry, the line about UB and Manzo was absolute gold. Keep ‘em coming.
Titletown, pretty sure your impression of New York is way off. Just because we have two football teams doesn’t mean fans of one will automatically root for the other when their preferred team isn’t doing well. Pretty much the opposite actually…if you live in NY and you actually watch football, either you’re a Jets fan or you’re a Giants fan.
Gotta love giants fans trolling the patriots…you were 9-7. Maybe u should worry a little more about the 49′s and their defense. Im pretty sure they were better than your 25th ranked defense in points, 25.5 per game (10 spots worse than the pats…ha ha ha ha ha)
@Beernuts everyone knows that your record doesn’t matter heading into the post-season, it’s only how hot you are heading into it, case in point would be the Giants 10-6 beating the perfect patriots, or almost every year where the 1 seed falls before the SB.
@ titletown – I get it, you’re a Patriots fan, also: if you ever tell me I’d wear a “green hat” and actually root for that INEPT, RETARDED, FUCK HEAD, franchise we call the New York Jets, I’ll find out where you live, and shit down your throat, I’m a Giants, Yankees, Rangers, Knicks fan, always have been always will be, the expansion teams in NY are all a fucking JOKE. Also: I never said Eli was better than Brady, only that he is better than in 2007, and you’re right, he had a miracle escape, and a miracle catch in the SB, But we still won, so shut the fuck up.
@Hipneck, his point is that the pats may get revenge on everyone who hurt their little playoff dreams, and I didn’t miss that, and he is saying he WANTS the Giants to fulfill that “destiny”, all I’m saying is: Be Careful What You Wish For Mother Fucker.
@k1dd0 Awesome, then we should have no problem beating baltimore since we are riding a 9 game winning streak and pretty much kicking everyone’s ass along the way…Id say thats pretty hot…and last i looked san fran has been pretty hot too. Uh oh Giants are fucked.
@beernuts – you know that the patriots haven’t defeated a playoff team or regular season team with a winning record right? You have squeaked out a lot of wins, you haven’t completely dominated teams like the Giants have. It doesn’t matter anyway though because the Patriots aren’t even making it to the bowl because Pres jinxed the shit out of them already, you can thank him once they lose to the ravens.
@k1dd0 Giants are 1-3 against winning/playoff teams, woohoo. Im guessing if we had the chance to play 1 more against winning teams we would have eeked out a win. Average margin of victory for Pats…12pts..Giants…8pts, average margin for losses for pats..5pts…giants…11pts. btw san fran is 3-1 against winning teams, and all 3 wins were against playoff teams including your NY Giants. Seriously…giants are going to lose to san francisco…again.
