Every time I'd screw up in a sport, whether it be hockey, baseball, soccer, tennis, golf, bowling, tug of war, ring toss, egg race, and any other picnic related event I'd tell myself "that's okay, nobody's perfect."
"Nobody's Perfect".
So why is it everyone is picking the Patriots to win the Super Bowl? The way I see it, they're due for a loss.
Take a look at this somewhat factual analysis I just made up:
Quarterback:
Tom Brady threw 50 TD passes this season: an NFL record.
Eli Manning is taking care of the ball extremely well thus far in the playoffs: committing no turnovers. Moreover, he is a huge Seinfeld fan. However, he lists one of his favorite hobbies as "antiquing in the offseason with his mother and fiancee."
The Edge: Draw
Running Back:
One of the knocks on Laurence Maroney is that he doesn't hit the hole hard, leaving him very unpopular amongst female fans.
Brandon Jacobs is a freak of nature: at 6'4, 265lbs he possesses 4.54 speed (which, from what I hear, is pretty fast).
The Edge: Giants
Wide Receiver:
Randy Moss' 2007 playoff stats: 2 Receptions, 32 yards
Plaxico Burress' playoff stats: 16 Receptions, 194 yards, 1 rescinded arrest warrant
The Edge: Giants
Defense:
With Junior Seau in their linebacking corps, the average age of the Patriots Defense jumps up to an astonishing 57 years old.
Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck, and Michael Strahan combined for 32 sacks on the season.
The Edge: Giants
Coaching:
Bill Belichick: Tapes play calling to gain a competitive advantage.
Tom Coughlin: Doesn't cover up his face in sub zero temperatures.
The Edge: Patriots
Intangibles:
"Nobody's Perfect"
The Edge: Giants
Winner, and your next Super Bowl Champs, the New York Giants.

I wish I had made a bet - good analysis some of it actually made some sense - did you make money over the season or was this just a lucky shot
