Well, I said I would and here it is: The Super Bowl Running Diary Featuring the New England Patriots and the New York Giants!!

Before we got started last night though, I had some thoughts:

1) If it comes down to a New England field goal, does anyone trust Stephen Gostkowski? My buddy Will (who we'll get to in a second) had Gostkowski in our fantasy pool and had this to say about him: "I would have dropped him long ago if it wasn't for the extra points". I think that's all you need to know.

2) I'm scared of the Giants. I don't know why, but I had nightmares all Saturday night of the Pats losing. Strange right? Especially seeing as the dreams have them losing in the AFC Championship game against the Chargers, which in my dream is played the day before the Super Bowl. I don't understand how this relates, but I'm scared the Pats come out flat, or the Giants go up 17 or something.

3) Jeremy Shockey's crutches are nuts.

    And with that out of the way, let's get to it!

6:30: The game begins with a kickoff return by Domenik Hixon, but he's stopped early-nothing like last year's opening kickoff with Devin Hester. In any even, we'll take this moment to introduce the cast:

T-rev (Trevon): A buddy from work, Trevon is a Vikings fan who's torn up over who to cheer for as he witness the Pats 56-10 whipping of the Bills. He's envied throughout our group as "the guy who turns out great in photos no matter what".

E-Dizzle (Elyana): Trevon's girlfriend. They met in the cleaning products aisle at Zellers (the Canadian Target). It's not as romantic as you think (ie. they both reached for the same bottle of Tide), mostly because we all work at Zellers.

Will 2J (Will): Another buddy from work. He was the one who got the tickets for the Bills game, so I got left at home while he and T-Rev went (not bitter at all). Will's also a Vikings fan, and secretly in love with Trevon.

Stef: Stef is Will's sister. She ends up leaving halfway through the game to catch a train or save the world or something. She's secretly in love with Trevon.

Megan: Will's other sister. Secretly in love with Trevon.

6:40: It's been ten minutes, and we've already had three Bill Belichick sweater sightings. I don't like it. This thing looks hemmed and it's red. Not good.

6:47: Bill Belichick's sweater pays immediate dividends with a Lawrence Tynes field goal. With six minutes to go in the first quarter it's 3-0!!! It's the Super Bowl!!!!!!

6:50:
