NFL Playoffs - Well, this is quite a pickle we have. The New York Giants certainly qualify as something I didn't want to see in the Super Bowl this season. Who wants to see some hot-handed, flavor-of-the-month underdog run through the NFC and make the Super Bowl, giving the New England Patriots an easy, melodramatic victory?

The Patriots have had things really simple this post season. They won't have to face the Cowboys or the Packers. They drew the Giants instead. They didn't have to face the Colts either. They only had to play the San Diego Chargers, a team that surged at exactly the wrong time. The Chargers did a truly masterful job of boring me to death this weekend because they lived up to expectations. They played well, but not well enough to win. Thanks, Chargers. I'm sure everyone in America was at risk of falling off the edge of their seats to see you lose in such underwhelming, unexciting fashion, so congrats. We really wanted to see that. Y'all made for some great television. Everyone will be talking about your effort for years to come because it was so compelling. Books will be written about it because it is so memorable and relevant.

It's a shame the Patriots didn't beat the Chargers by more than eight. A total blowout would have been more satisfying as punishment to the Chargers for messing up what would have been a truly great game between N.E. and Indianapolis.

Now we have the New York Giants playing their tricks. Nobody outside of New York, state or city, wants to see you either. Thanks for winning losers. Now the public is stuck with a lopsided Super Bowl. You will never beat the Pats. You will never impress anyone. You can only hope to bore us. That is your calling, to bore everyone by losing as scripted. What a cliche!

Look, the little Broadway production you will put on has already been done 18 times this year. The public doesn't need 19. We've seen it. Super Bowl XLII will be the Super Redundancy by the end. We know this. If we could fix it, we would. Nobody wants to see you lose to the Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Congratulations to the New York Giants for making this year's Super Bowl much less memorable than it could have been. Nice.
