While there have been many worthy Super Bowl champs over the years,

there have been some not-so-good teams.

No offense, Giants fans, but I am never going to believe that last year's team was any good.

Player-wise, they were good. OTOH, I feel they were an extrodanarily lucky team.

The 1986 team and 1990 teams were worthy (Though I do feel the '90 Giants were an 8-8 team disguised as a 13-3 team), though.

When I think of great Super Bowl winning teams, I think of teams that defended their home turf- the Broncos, Rams, Patriots, etc- Big Blue was anything but great at home- they basically lived and died by their road record (They had only one good game at home last year- their sackfest of the Eagles).

I believe that last year, the G-String Men sold their souls to Satan to win the Super Bowl and were luckier than Notre Dame in its best years.

To me, they are nothing more than super FRAUDS!

(BTW, I hold nothing against their players- I just thought they were ridiculously lucky. I don't hate Eli or any of the players, but I hated ther luck,)

Up until the late 1990s I would have to say those San Francisco '49er teams from the 1980s, as well as 1995. Back in those days I hated the '49ers WITH A PASSION. That despite me always believing the TV show The Wonder Years took place there! :lol: Then in 2001 the Cleveland Expatriots, er, Baltimore Ravens, won with Ray Lewis (wasn't he involved in that shooting in the Buckhead section of Atlanta? You thought today's Bengals were bad!) on their roster. The 2000-2001 season to me will be best remembered as the season that never should have been.

I would say the 1980 Oakland Raiders. They were the first Wild Card Team to win the Super Bowl beating the Philadelphia Eagles (who was favorite by 3) 27-10. I don't think nobody expected them to get to the Super Bowl, let alone win it.

Since you're talking about week 2, got a question:

Which QB, RB, and WR will post the biggest numbers?

I'm predicting Brees, Adrian Peterson, and Boldin.

Wreckless
09-12-2008, 02:54 AM
I'm going with Brees as well- I would take Cutler but he faces a great defense in San Diego. Besides that, I don't see any QB this week unless it's one of the MNF QBs that will man handle a weak team with a not bad d like Washington. Receiver, I say Randy Moss, Running Back, Westbrook.

Thank you to Wreckless, my boys need all the cheering they can get.:lol: I was really impressed with your Eagles last weekend, both offense and defense. Donavans always been one of my favorite Quarterbacks and If he can stay heathy, they have a great shot at winning the East this year, I really believe that.

Wreckless
09-12-2008, 03:06 AM
No problem BF :). Thanks, Yeah Donovan isn't the rep. for a injury free QB :lol: but hey, Brady wasn't 100% healthy, played every game of his career, which means anybody can go down given the situation. Thanks, Eagles looked great but I'm not going to gloat lol. We play a great Dallas team this year, who are also great on all 3 sides of the ball like we were last week, but it's only the Rams lol. Jets looked good- too bad they lost Nugent for a big chunk of the game, Pennington having a chance to win it at the end wouldn't of been nothing if they had a guy to kick in field goals. Instead, they had to go for it on 4th down and couldn't kick extra points and FGs lol, sucks. At least they picked up Jay Feeley right? Problem solved now lol. It's def. going to be interesting, the race for both East Divisions this year. NFC East, Eagles or Cowgirls could win it. AFC East with a much improved Jets team, not just because they aquired Favre, they got a lotta other guys in the off-season too. Not only that, but the big loss of Tom Brady. Losing the best player in the AFC East is big as far as who wins the division at the end of the year lol. But we'll see come December/January :).

It's hard to respect you as a sports fan when you make foolish statements like this. I know you are probably bothered by the giants winning the SB but you have to give credit when credit is due. No team wins the SB who is not good, they had to go on the road 3 times in the playoffs, tampa, dallas, and then greenbay, and then faced a 18-0 team and held them to 14 points. So I don;t want to hear any fraud talk because it makes no ssense. They earned the SB by playing as a team and it looks like they will again be back in the playoofs from what i saw in week one. So for you to say the 07 giants is the worst team to ever win a SB makes you lose credibility as a sports fan. You just come off as BITTER.

And you think the Giants are gona make the playoffs, just because they beat a weak Washington team? :lol: C'mon now. They're not as bad as the Rams (Washington) but they're not a great team, especially if you're convinced a team will be in the postseason from beating a weak team. Not to say Giants won't be, cause I don't think they will be in the playoffs. And that's because they lost so much in the offseason, Strahan alone, their captain, leader, head defensive guy, one of the best Defensive Ends ever. They lost Gibril Wilson and Shockey to the Raiders and Saints. Humenurine is out, so they had to move Kiwunuka over to DE. I think David Tyree, Superbowl hero is even out. With a great NFC this year, I don't see them in the bunch. I say 7-9 or 8-8 for the Giants, YET I will not surprised if they are 9-7, they are still a good team.

That 1990 Giant team was very good. They beat a very strong SF team that was trying for a three-peat and then beat a very good Buffalo team in the SB...that was probably the best of the Bills teams too. And they did it after Phil Simms went down for the year. They were very good. I hated them. I didn't root for them in the SB but I have to give them credit.

Just because I wasn't "older" doesn't mean I can't partake in the convos about games when I was a kid. 1998? Bs, I'll talk about or mention any game in any era I want. I know who Joe Montana is and I've seen many games of him playing, same with Steve Young. I've watched games from the Eagles that my dad kept, the whole game for a span of 20 years at least. Mostly games from the late '80s, early 1990s I watch from the Eagles. So don't give me that. And I'm not saying the 90 Giants are a bad team Clint, but I was answering the question, which SB team I thought was the worst. It doesn't mean they are a bad team, cause they weren't at all. They were a great team, not just cause they won the SB that year. I picked them as the worst cause I don't think they are as good as the 80s-90s San Fran teams with Montana, then Steve Young, The Cowboy teams of the 90s or the Patriots, even if they cheated :lol: .

You really are a class act. So what if I saw him on tape? I still saw the whole game. What would I be missing besides seeing him play live, if I still saw the whole 48 minutes of games he played in. It's not like tapes only filmed a half, we watched the WHOLE game. What is it to you that I didn't see him live? You didn't see Staubach live and you seem to love his team, and probably love him if I bring it up.

What is it with you and people's ages? Sports history started before you and I were born, you know.

It's perfectly possible for a fan of a sport to know something about the history of the sport and events which took place before they were born, or before they started following the sport.

Most football fans know that Jim Brown was a great football player...except you, I guess, since you never saw him play. According to you, only the players that you personally saw are eligible to be called great.

Your attempt to discredit people's opinions about sports solely because of their age comes across only as condescension.


In fact, when Kobe scored 81 points, to finish 19 points short of the record, you made an absolutely ridiculous comment :

Solomon: "There is no video Footage of wilt scoring a 100 pts so I will always put Kobes 81 as the best in NBA history. Plus Wilt played against everyone who was under 6 ft."


http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=162248&highlight=wilt+chamberlain


So here you are, making a judgment on whether Kobe's 81 points was better than Wilt's 100 points... and followed it up with the idiotic statement that there are a bunch of under-6 foot players in the NBA when Wilt played.

Were you an NBA fan in March of 1962? WTF do you know about the NBA from that time?

And you say that Kobe's game was better because there was no footage of Wilt's game? So what if there WAS footage? You'd still have to say Kobe's game was better because you'd be judging Wilt's game from video, instead of being there watching it live.

If you knew ANYTHING about NBA history, you would know that there were no players under 6 feet tall until Calvin Murphy came along...but he was really the only one until the 80s and 90s (as well as the 2000's)... Players who were under 6 feet tall would never have been given a look by an NBA team in the 1960s.

The Knicks player who guarded Wilt was 6'11...only two inches shorter than Wilt was. The Knicks smallest player was a 6'2 guard, meaning that there were no players in that game who were a foot shorter than Wilt.

A height of 6'1 or 6'2 was just about the minimum height requirement for the NBA during Wilt's career, meaning he never played against anyone who was more than a foot shorter than he was...

It was guys like Jordan and Kobe who had the benefit of playing against guys like 5'3 Muggsy Bogues and 5'7 Spud Webb and 5'9 Nate Robinson and about a dozen other guys under 6 feet tall.

Wilt's career overlapped with Nate Archibald, who, at 6'1, was nicknamed "Tiny". Archibald would TOWER over a lot of guys Jordan and Kobe played against.

Fact is, you weren't born until after Wilt retired... so by your own definition, you can't possibly know anything about him or the game he played. And don't tell us that you've seen films of him. That doesn't count.

Was Willie Mays a great baseball player? Jeez, what am I asking you for, you never saw him play.

Just because you "see" someone play during their career, it doesn't necessarily follow that you really know much about them, as pointed out in another one of your posts in which you claimed Adrain Dantley won a ring with the Detroit Pistons, which he never did. So if you don't know about guys who played before you watched the NBA, and you obviously don't know about guys who played while you WERE watching the game, what is it that you actually KNOW about basketball? or Football?

You would probably watch "Glory Road" and think it's some kind of accurate representation of the Texas Western Team from 1966, when in reality, the film was so full of holes and flat out lies that it's laughable.

The Giants did, in fact, deserve to win the Super Bowl last season, once they got there and played the game. But you're living in a fantasy world if you don't acknowledge that it took several miracle plays for them to win... I'm not even talking about the games leading up to the Super Bowl, I'm talking about the Super Bowl itself.

It was a miracle that Asante Samuel didn't intercept Eli Manning's poorly thrown pass on that last Giants drive.

It was a miracle that Eli Manning escaped from that sack to complete the pass to Tyree.

Tyree's catch was a miracle catch...no one's ever made a catch like that under those circumstances....I'm not sure anyone's made a catch like that under ANY circumstances...

Granted, Samuel didn't make the play, while Manning and Tyree did make the plays when it counted... but that was what was miraculous about it.
