Super Bowl XLII First, congrats the to New York Giants last night - no one thought they could do it, except themselves. They definitely played their asses off - never underestimate the strength of heart -real talk. A few things that no one would have imagined -especially this time last year: 1) The Giants would make it to the Super Bowl 2) The Giants would make it to the Super Bowl minus Tiki Barber AND Jeremy Shockey 3) Tom Coughlin still had a head coaching job in the NFL 4) Eli Manning - Super Bowl MVP!? It all seems a little too good to be true and I'm interested in seeing what the off-season brings for the G-Men besides huge raises for all of them. Let's just hope that they stay hungry and don't get ahead of themselves like their opponents last night. The Patriots blew that game because they know that they didn't play like they should have and not as hard as they should have. Retrospect is only 20/20. I can't lie though, I did want to see perfection - (it's such a pretty word with even better meaning) and my homie Randy Moss do it up big - but I'm definitely not mad at the G-Men they did it up and they definitely deserve it - if anyone. P.S. I still say fire Tom Coughlin, LOL, their Def. Coordinator will be a head coach very soon, trust that. Battle of the Titans (Microsoft vs. Google II) In case you haven't heard, Microsoft has bid $42 billion to take over Yahoo! Inc. in order to compete with Google as the world's leading search engine and advertising haven. But critics oppose Microsoft's bid, arguing that it'll lead to a Microsoft monopoly...complementing their unethical practices of getting consumers to add many of their products while they only want to add one. According to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, Google owns about 75% of the market and the Microsoft takeover would only enhance competition because it won't be able to eliminate Google. Not yet, at least. Google argues that if/when Microsoft takes over - they will have too much control over the internet and that Microsoft will be able to hinder internet freedom as consumer automatically be directed to adding their e-mail and instant messenger softwares. Yahoo Inc. said that they will closely examine Microsoft's bid. The battle has gotten to serious that Google CEO called Yahoo CEO to try to persuade him not to accept the bid. An interesting twist to this is that last year, Google bought Double Click Inc. for $3.1 billion and Microsoft tried to protest it, deeming Goggle an internet monopoly - it was unsuccessful in the U.S. Best Super Bowl XLII Commercials #8 Who: Audi - "Godfather commercial" Why: The car is very sexy w/ a spook of a classic to compliment.
