The New York Giants came away victorious when these two teams met four years ago in the Super Bowl, thanks to a miraculous catch by David Tyree. Not many of the Patriots players remain from that team, but for those that do, as well as head coach Bill Belichick, you know it still stings. New England will be looking for revenge as Tom Brady tries to capture his fourth Super Bowl ring. Will the Giants be able to prevent him from holding up the Lombardi trophy once again?

See you guys at halftime.
When you consider more things from all angles, you'll get more things from all angles. We'll be kicking ourselves if we don't get Burflict.

Hard not to feel good about this Superbowl. I was just saying how it was about time Boston and New York sports fans caught a break.

if you buy the copies of the movies, they are ruined. putting episode I into 3D would ruin whatever I had left going for it. The storylines of the old ones are still generally intact, but not worth watching the current copies on sale.

One of Lucas’ biggest sins is not selling the original proper versions on bluray or dvd.
by Jon @ DBN on Feb 5, 2012 7:48 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
When Lucas went back and added a bunch of unnecessary crap just because he could. The egregious example being having Greedo fire first in the Mos Eisley Catina. Han Solo fired first because he is a bad ass smuggler who don’t take no crap from nobody. I think I win because I combined original Star Wars with Cool Runnings.
exactly. I was trying to say that they made greedo shoot first instead of Han. my bad if that didn’t get through.
