Jim, I bet you think your taunting has gone unnoticed. Maybe I'm the only one who read your Plaxico Burress-inspired version of "Janie's Got a Gun" in the comment thread for
this article, but I read it. But guess what? The Giants are going to beat the Eagles on Sunday.
Who have the Eagles won against? They beat the Giants immediately after Plaxico shot himself. Then they beat a terrible Cleveland team that had quit on their coach. They followed that up with a loss against a Washington team with nothing to play for in which they only scored three points. They beat a terrible Cowboys team to make the playoffs.
And then they played the Vikings, the only possible playoff matchup that gave the Eagles an advantage at either coach or quarterback. The Vikings were barely able to beat the Giants backups a week earlier.
Meanwhile, the G-Men have had a week off. More importantly, Brandon Jacobs is healthy. I've learned my lesson about
betting on my teams in the playoffs, but if I didn't have a stake in this game, I'd be putting cash on the Giants. Mark it down: the Giants are going to the Super Bowl. For realz.
Giants 28, Eagles 10.
