Why I Do What I Do

Well hello everyone, and here it is, Hump Day! Happy Hump Day Everyone!!!!!

Someone asked me the other night "Sam, Why do you do what you do, like the blog, or all of this exercise, or the losing weight, or even the quitting drinking". Well here it is people the reason I do everything:

Because I want to.

Pretty simple, Eh? Well let me break this down one by one for you, and really it is that simple. The blog i do to vent, and express my opinion. I really don't care if people read it, but I do appreciate every single one of the 2600+ views I have received in the last couple of months. This is a forum for me to just say what I want, when I want.

The exercise and the losing weight part is really simple too. I am fat. I need to be healthy so I will love forever (or at least longer then regularly scheduled). I know I could get hit by a truck tomorrow and it will all be over then, but I'm not worried about that. Nobody knows their fate, but I will influence it as much as possible. There are many things I want to do in life, and none of them involve being over-weight. So I will continue to lose weight till I am 200 lbs or less. I did it once, I WILL do it again.

Now the quiting drinking part was a simple decision, once I realized that it had to happen. My life was a controlled chaos. I went to work, I functioned, I did everything I had to do to survive. However, on the weekends, I was completely out of control. I don't remember very large portions of the last thirteen years. Is that a way to live? Not for me. I will eventually go back to maybe having a beer or two, but the days of heavy drinking, and sleeping wherever I fall are done.

Well that's all, hopefully I have provided someone an answer. If not, Oh well, Its my life, and I really shouldn't have to explain anything to anyone anyway.

Thank you all for continuously reading!

Blank.....

As I sit here I draw a blank on what to write today.....

Do I write about the Daytona 500, which I only saw about half, and all the highlights? By-the-way, how in the hell do you run into a jet dryer? Thanks JP Montoya, only you can be the idiot that does this. Quit racing NASCAR already and go back to the Formula 1 series.

Do I write about life? Its pretty damn good right now. I'm still sober for 53 days now, and I have lost 20.6 lbs. Still have a long way to go, but its happening. I have a few holes in my life to fill, but that will come in time. Its still me time, and I'm pretty good at making myself happy.

Or Should I write about work? nothing happening here thats exciting. Inventory being done, and i'm still employed. no complaints.

To sum everything up, Life is good. Baseball season is starting up, which I am still rooting for my Mets, even though the season looks like a rebuilding year. I have at least one vacation planned, and waiting on the other one to be finalized. The gym still happens almost everyday, and I am adding new exercises into my routine. Makes me sore, but it will be work it in the end.

Daytona 500

Wow, What a race yesterday....... Wait a minute, there was no race yesterday! Mother nature decided that the race should be rescheduled, so she dumped a couple thousands of gallons of water on the race track.... Race was rescheduled for today at noon..... Weather forcast for today in Daytona, Fl.... Rain.... Either way if the race is today or Tuesday, I will be at work..... So that means there will be no race recap.

On the brighter side of life, the weekend was good. Didn't really do to much. Friday night, went to the river, that lasted a total of twenty minutes. Its not a good idea to fish in sixty mile per hour winds. So i layed around all night. Saturday, I didnt do anything special. Sunday was awesome. I went to Bass Pro Shop in Hanover, Md. Didn't know it was there opening season fishing sale!!!! All lures and other fishing items were fifty percent off! How awesome is that! Its the little things in life that put a smile on my face! Then I got a gun cabinet delivered to my house, so this week I will be reconditioning the cabinet, and put it in the Man Cave I am building.

Well All, sorry there aren't too many exciting things going on this weekend, but baseball season, and lots more fishing coming up, so stay tuned!!!!

Change of Scenery

Sometimes you just need a change... Not a permanent move, but a change in scenery. Trade in a cold breeze and snow, for some sun and sand. Where is your place to get away from it all?

Jimmy Buffett Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes Lyrics

By: jimmy buffett
1977

I took off for a weekend last month
Just to try and recall the whole year
All of the faces and all of the places
Wonderin where they all disappeared
I didn't ponder the question too long
I was hungry and went out for a bite
Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum
And we wound up drinkin all night

Chorus:
Its these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldnt laugh we would all go insane

Reading departure signs in some big airport
Reminds me of the places Ive been
Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure
Makes me want to go back again
If it suddenly ended tomorrow
I could somehow adjust to the fall
Good times and riches and son of a bitches
Ive seen more than I can recall

Chorus:
These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
Through all of the islands and all of the highlands
If we couldnt laugh we would all go insane

I think about paris when Im high on red wine
I wish I could jump on a plane
So many nights I just dream of the ocean
God I wish I was sailin again
Oh, yesterdays over my shoulder
So I can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can't go wrong

Chorus:
With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of my running and all of my cunning
If I couldnt laugh I just would go insane
If we couldnt laugh we just would go insane
If we werent all crazy we would go insane

Colder Weather

Good Morning World!

Supposed to be 70 Degrees here today, but then go back down to being cold for the weekend. Why is it whenever I want to go fishing we get freezing temperatures? Oh well, I'm still going fishing either way!

So I leave you here today with a little song:


Colder Weather
By Zac Brown Band
 She'd trade Colorado if he'd take her with him
Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in,
And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay,
She's answered by the tail lights
Shining through the window pane

[Chorus:]
He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?
She said you're a ramblin' man
You ain't ever gonna change
You got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'

At a truck stop diner just outside of Lincoln,
The night is black as the coffee he was drinkin',
And in the waitress' eyes he sees the same 'ol light is shinin',
He thinks of Colorado
And the girl he left behind him

[Chorus:]
He said I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?
She said you're a ramblin' man
You ain't ever gonna change
You got a gypsy soul to blame
And you were born for leavin'(born for leavin')

Well it's a winding road
When you're in the lost and found
You're a lover, I'm a runner
And we go 'round and 'round
And I love you but I leave you
I don't want you but I need you
You know it's you that calls me back here, baby

Oh I wanna see you again
But I'm stuck in colder weather
Maybe tomorrow will be better
Can I call you then?
Cause I'm a ramblin' man
I ain't ever gonna change
I got a gypsy soul to blame
And I was born for leavin' (born for leavin')

When I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whisperin' pines
I'm with your ghost again
It's a shame about the weather
But I know soon we'll be together
And I can't wait 'til then
I can't wait 'til then

Hump Day

So yesterday was Mardi Gras.... We know what that means!!!! Got beads?

Girls go crazy for those shiny, fifty cent pieces of plastic. I'm not complaining, as most of you know I love me a good set of boobs, but I'm just wondering why is it that easy, only on one day of the year?

Anyway, following Mardi Gras, Its hump day, as it should be. Well technically, I think it should have been hump night last night because I guarantee everyone down south was drunk and getting a little something.

Well one more day closer to the weekend, and another night of fishing! everyone have a great day!!!!

The Meaning of Life

What is the meaning of life???

To me the meaning is whatever you want it to be, as long as you are happy. Currently, I couldn't be happier. I'm finally living my life. Now, I'm not saying that there aren't other things I would like to have, but I'm grateful for everything that I do have. I'm at day number 45 of being sober, still not as easy as I would like it to be, but it is what it is. I have lost 21 lbs so far, I'm that much closer to the 100 lbs I want to lose. The world will open up so many more doors for me once I am fit and healthy again. As long as I have a roof over my head, good friends, family, and a job, I will survive. Hapiness is hard to find, but once you do, every second is worth living for.....

Just remember, There are a billion people in the world, why are you going to let one ruin your day....

Its all just something to think of......

Hero

Every Kid has a hero. Growing up, there's always one person you want to be. Other then my father, I had a few sports hero's growing up. Wayne Gretzky, Magic Johnson, and Gary Carter. Yesterday, at an entirely too soon time, we lost a great man, and a Hall of Fame player, Gary Carter. Every time I got behind home plate, I was "the Kid". He was a great man, told it how it is, and always had a smile on his face. He played for the love of the game, not the money, and today in sports, that just doesn't happen. You will be missed Gary, gone too soon at only 57.

Hero lyricsSongwriters: Kroeger, Chad;
sang by Mariah CareyThere's a hero
If you look inside your heart
You don't have to be afraid
Of what you are

There's an answer
If you reach into your soul
And the sorrow that you know
Will melt away

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

It's a long road
And you face the world alone
No one reaches out a hand
For you to hold

You can find love
If you search within yourself
And the emptiness you felt
Will disappear

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

Oh ho, Lord knows
Dreams are hard to follow
But don't let anyone
Tear them away, hey yea

Hold on
There will be tomorrow
In time, you find the way, hey

Then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
And you finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

That a hero lies in you
Mmm, that a hero lies in you

Rain King

Well rain is here, and more rain is on the way. Its better than snow I guess. just means more indoor activity this weekend, cleaning, watching movies, and maybe building things. Not too sure what I want to build yet, but I'm sure there is something I can get my hands on. Anyway, enjoy the weather, and remember every day is a day closer to the summer....

Rain King Lyrics

Artist: Counting Crows

When I think of heaven (Deliver me in a black-winged bird)
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
and all other instruments of faith and sex and God
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to feed me
I've been here before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen I belong anywhere but in between
She's been crying I've been thinking And I am the Rain King

Mama, why am I so alone?
I can't go outside
I'm scared I might not make it home
I'm alive but I'm sinking in
If there's anyone at home at your place
Why don't you invite me in
Don't try to bleed me
I've been there before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been lying
I've been sinking
And I am the Rain King

Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Henderson is waiting for the sun
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
After all the dreaming I come home again...

When I think of heaven (Deliver me in a black-winged bird)
I think of dying Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Render up my body into the burning heart of God in the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to bleed me
I've been here before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been dying
I been drinking and I am the Rain King.

40 Nights

Well here it is, a true day to celebrate.... Today is day number 40 since I have had any type of alcohol. That means that I haven't had a beer, shot, glass of wine, or anything else that may even be considered alcoholic. Yay me!!!!

The first couple of days were rough, sometimes I really want a drink, but I keep pushing through. A very special thanks to all my friends and family that have been supportive of me, and pushed me to succeed. To everyone that doubted me, or said that I couldn't do it, Thank You too, because your negativity has pushed me to do what some said was impossible (and a very special Fuck You too for saying I was weak, and couldn't do it).

The gym has taken the place of alcohol for me. Between that and eating right, I feel great. I am going to succeed, and no one is going to stop me. Well that's enough for now.

Happy Hump Day Everyone!!!!!

Valentines Day 2012

Well being single and always hating Valentines Day, has made this just another day. Why should you only tell someone you love them one day a year? Shouldn't you show them every day? Shouldn't you take them out to dinner more than once a year? Isn't it better to send flowers when they aren't expected? Maybe I have the whole system wrong. Maybe not...... Well to all that celebrate this day, I hope its a great one, and I hope the one you love tells you more than just today. Happy Valentines Day to those....

To everyone else, keep your heads up, its only a day, and think of all the money that Hallmark, the candy companies, and the flower companies aren't making off of you! Tonight will be an average night for me. Work, gym, then dinner by myself, but that's OK, I sorta like this.....

Well I'll leave you with a new age love song to keep you in the mood.....


Casual Sex
By My Darkest DaysYou'll never meet my mom,
Strings will never be attached,
We'll always get along,
'Cause you felt it after last,
Anytime I call you, you don't have to call me back,
I'm never gonna fall, but I'm never hard to catch.
[Chorus]
She say she's cool with it, She's down with it,
There's nothing wrong with it 'cause its easier this way,
She's so cool with it, She's down with it,
There's nothing wrong with it, Don't want it any other way.
It's just you're typical hardcore, casual sex,
Single thought lovers, crazy for each other,
Ju-Just you're typical hardcore, casual sex,
We'll fall under the covers, crazy for each other.

We don't have to go on dates,
You don't have to like my friends,
I'll poke it in your face when you makin' other plans,
If you tired of the taste,
We can try another blend,
My heart will never break I'm just here to break a sweat.

[Chorus]
That's why she's cool with it, She's down with it,
There's nothing wrong with it 'cause its easier this way,
She's so cool with it, She's down with it,
There's nothing wrong with it, Don't want it any other way.
It's just you're typical hardcore, casual sex,
Single thought lovers, crazy for each other,
Ju-Just you're typical hardcore, casual sex,
We'll fall under the covers, crazy for each other.

She's so cool with it, She's down with it,
There's nothing wrong with it 'cause its easier this way,
She's so cool with it, She's down with it,
There's nothing wrong with it, Don't want it any other way.
It's just you're typical hardcore, casual sex,
Single thought lovers, crazy for each other,
Ju-Just you're typical hardcore, casual sex,
We'll fall under the covers, crazy for each other.

Everybody want's to love her like that,
Far under the covers, crazy for each other,
Everybody wants to love her like that
Far under the covers, crazy for each other.

Weekend (Feb. 10-12)

What a Weekend it was. However, I got almost nothing that I wanted to accomplish done.

Started Friday night... Moose Lodge for a little while. Then the snow started to fall. Time to head home. Got home and watched the ZooKeeper. Movie wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Kevin James but forth a decent performance. I would say watch it if you have nothing better to do, and are looking for a couple of mindless hours.

Saturday. Awesome day!!! Got up early to go to the gym, then I headed down to Virginia. Got to go to the gun show with one of my good friends who is leaving soon. Then we went to dinner and the movies with another one of our friends. We all just dont get together enough. The movie we saw was "Safe House" with Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington. Movie was pretty good, but also pretty predictable. I suggest waiting until it comes out on video. $4 is better than $11. We finished the night playing a very strange, but fun, Wii game. I dont remember the name of it, but it involved rabbits, and lots of little mini games. I got home at about 0330.

Sunday. Woke up at 0930. honestly, this is sleeping in for me. Cleaned, did laundry, laid around all day and watched old movies. Now that I look back, I watched a lot of movies this weekend! This was mostly a lazy day.

Well thats all, hope everyone liked looking into my life for a breif moment. Hope everyone had a great weekend too.

Still Thinking

Well I have decided that I am going to play the lottery this weekend. Big money up for grabs, and I'm still in my Key West state of mind. I looked at the weather for both here and Key West this morning, and this is what I saw.... Where I am: High of 45 low of 29. Snow and rain all weekend.... Key West: High of 79, low of 69. Rain this weekend. Now, some may enjoy the snow, Not this guy. Give me warmth, with a 0% chance of snow, and I'll be extremely happy. Oh well, Maybe I'll win the lottery this weekend and be able to buy my house on Sunset Key, where I can do nothing but write and take pictures for the rest of my life.

Well that's all for now, Here's a little more Jimmy Buffett to start off your weekend....

Jimmy Buffett Cheeseburger In Paradise Lyrics

Tried to amend my carnivorous habits
Made it nearly seventy days
Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays

But at night I'd had these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat
Not zucchini, fettucini or Bulgar wheat
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat

Chorus:
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)
Not too particular not too precise (paradise)
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

Heard about the old time sailor men
They eat the same thing again and again
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead
Well it reminds me of the menu at a holiday inn

Times have changed for sailors these days
When I'm in port I get what I need
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris
But that American creation on which I feed

Chorus:
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
Medium rare with mustard 'be nice (paradise)
Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well good god almighty which way do I steer for my

Chorus:
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice (paradise)
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice (paradise)
To get a cheeseburger in paradise
To be a cheeseburger in paradise
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

Coda:
I like mine with lettuce and tomato
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well good god almighty which way do I steer for my

Key West State of mind

Every so often I slip into what is called a Key West state of mind. Not a care in the world, where you sit with a frozen concoction of some sort in your hand. Ass in the sand, feet in the water. I dream that someday I move to this tropical fantasy land where dreams are right around the corner. Its a place where everyone lives equally. It doesn't matter if you are white, black, gay or straight. Its "One Human Family", and all everyone want to do is hang out and have a good time.

The Powerball Lottery is up to $310million. If I win this, I figure I can buy a nice little house on Sunset Key, and not worry about anything for the rest of my life. The only stress I will have from day to day is whether to go fishing, or go read a book in the sand. Life is good right now, but that would be the best.

Until then, I leave you with a Jimmy Buffett song. Jimmy is Key West.

One Particular Harbour Lyrics

"We're going to that one particular harbour. Take our Caribbean roots with us, huh? You certainly look dressed for the occasion."
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

I know I don't get there often enough
But God knows I surely try
It's a magic kind of medicine
That no doctor could prescribe

I used to rule my world from a pay phone
Ships out on the sea
But now times are rough
Oh I got too much stuff
I can't explain the likes of me

Chorus:
But there's this one particular harbor
So far but yet so near
Where I see the days as they fade away
Finally disappear

But now I think about the good times
Down in the Caribbean sunshine
In my younger days I was so bad
Laughin' about all the fun we've had

I seen enough to feel the world spin
Mixin' different oceans meetin' cousins
Listen to the drummers and the night sounds
Listen to the singers make the world go 'round

Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

Lakes below the mountain
Flow into the sea
Like oils applied to canvas
Oh how they permeate through me

But there's this one particular harbor
Sheltered from the wind
Where the children play on the shore each day
And all are safe within

A most mysterious calling harbor
So far but yet so near
Where I can see the day when my hair's full gray
And I finally disappear

Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei
Ia ora te natura
E mea arofa teie ao nei

(Ua pau te maitai no te fenua)
(Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie)
(Ua pau te maitai no te fenua)
(Te zai noa ra te ora o te mitie)

Stag Night

Last night, after I got home from the gym and ate dinner, I sat down to watch a movie. The movie was called Stag Night. Stag Night is a horror movie that takes place in the subway system of New York City. There are no big named actors in it, but I tend to like horror movies so I figured what the hell.

This movie was probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. I mean seriously, It was a bit graphic, which is OK in my book, but the movie was unbelievably predictable. Make me jump at least once during the movie! It was a waste of an hour and a half of my life.....

Thumbs down for this one.... Watch it at your own risk....

One Tough Mudder

The moment somebody says to me, "This is very risky," is the moment it becomes attractive to me.

- Kate Capshaw

 

 

Well some times I have crazy thoughts.... But for once this wasn't my idea!!!! Last night I received a message on facebook telling me about the Tough Mudder competition being held to help the Wounded Worrier Foundation, and that my little brother was going to get a team together... Time to call the brother and find out... Well it looks like some time in 2013, we will be doing brutality to our bodies. Sounds like fun to me!

 

What is the Tough Mudder you may be asking at this point. The Tough Mudder is a 10-12 mile obstacle course, originally created by the British Special Forces. The events aren't for average people either. They include; electrocution, tall walls, freezing water, fire, and much, much more. Am I nuts, If you knew me you wouldn't ask me that question, you would already know that I'm not exactly right in the head! This sounds like fun, and dammit, I'm gonna finish it. The best part about this is I know I will finish the course, because my brother and I tend to get a little competitive. This will only push us to out do the other one, so its sort of a good thing. The only problem is, we tend to argue a little bit, so hopefully, we can get past that for one full day.

 

Well that's all for now, going to keep working out so that I can be in the best shape as possible.

Weekend (2-3-12 through 2-5-12)

Well all, this weekend was fairly uneventful.....

Started on Friday night, Cat fishing not to far from home. We caught 3 nice size fish, had to throw 3 small ones back, but the 3 keepers will keep me fed for at least 4 meals. However, it did get a little cold. I think the low temperature Friday night was 20 degrees. The water wasn't frozen, but the tips of our fishing rods started forming icicles. Sat around bull shitting and listening to music most of the night with a couple of friends.... It seems to be that the fish like Metallica and Country music, because whenever that came on our fishing poles would start dancing! It was an entertaining night.....

Saturday, went to the gym, watched "In Time", and laid around all day. In Time isn't a bad movie, but it could have been better. It snowed most of the day on Saturday, that's why it was an indoor, lazy day.

Sunday.... I was at the Frederick Moose Lodge almost all day for the Super Bowl party. Pretty uneventful night, but I will add that I picked the right winner in my Blog last week, score was slightly off though.

Well i hope everyone else had a decent weekend!

Simple Man

As what somehow has turned into a tradition, Fridays bring songs that mean a good amount to me. I am just a simple man, living a simple life. Why do some people have to make life so complicated. Have a great weekend all!


Simple Man lyricsSongwriters: Van Zant, Ron; Rossington, Gary;
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day

Oh, take your time don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
Go find a woman you'll find love
And don't forget son there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied
And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can? Oh yes, I will

Boy, don't you worry you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?

Baby be a simple, be a simple man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man

Life

What is Happiness?

I wondered this is for a long time. Is it the love of another person? or is it something that just comes to us?

I have come to the conclusion that Happiness is Life. It is what you make it to be. Be happy with what you have, everything else will fall into place eventually. Its sad that it has taken me over 30 years to realize this, but better late than never.

I have a roof over my head, I am fairly healthy, I have a decent car, and lots of friends and family that all care about me very much.... What more do I need?

Anyway, Its a wonderful life, grasp it.... Live, love, learn.... People come, people go, but the true ones stay in your heart forever.......

Super Bowl

Ahhhh here it is, the date we were unsure would come only a few months ago, Its time for the Super Bowl. As a Jets fan I couldn't care less, however, I know some of you that read this may be a Giants or Patriots fan, so I will pick the game either way. I have been at 50% with my picks this year so, I may be close with this pick.

New York Giants vs. New England Patriots.... Indianapolis, Indiana...

This is the most important thing that Indy has to look forward to this year, and yes, It beats the Indy 500. Lets start with the QB's, and I will try to be as objective as possible with all of these comments, even though I hate both teams. I don't remember the last time I didn't want to watch a Super Bowl... Oh wait a second, It was four years ago when the same two teams played each other....

QB's- Eli Manning against Tom Brady..... Tom Brady's bad game is Eli's good game, If the Giants can shut down the TE's they have a chance. You can't count on Welker, and Ocho-Cinco to be very productive in this game. The Giants are the exact opposite. Receivers are golden. Advantage Patriots, but only by a little.

RB's- Neither team really has a running game, but as of late, the Giants are showing improvement. Advantage Giants

Defense- Defense wins championships. The Giants have been playing shut down football. The patriots have been playing to hold their opponent to less then they score. This won't work against the Giants. Unless the Patriots come out and completely dominate the Line of scrimmage, look out. Advantage Giants.

Can the Giants overcome Tom Brady?

Can the Patriots overcome the Giants Defense?

NEW YORK GIANTS WIN...... 27-21
