FOXBOROUGH — The Falcons don’t scare me a bit. The Niners could provide some resistance and we’ll get a look at them this weekend. But if you really want to know the truth, the team that scares me in Super Bowl XLVII is the . . . New York Giants.
Sorry for the buzzkill. But the Giants are on my mind today.

Dennis, Callahan and Shag, triplets separated at birth. The Pats win 42-14 and all the three blind mice can offer up is that the (11-1) Texans stunk, Shaub is a career backup, The Giants are better (I guess the Giants would have still won last year against a healthy Gronk), that it was all Tom Brady and that the 21 other stiffs dressed in Patriot uniforms were lucky. Gerry, "I refuse to credit Belichick ever", Callhan actually said with a straight face that had a few plays gone the other way, the Texans could have won. Say what? You mean about 20, if you could count that high, Gerry. No mention of the brilliant defensive game plan or Bill's first quater adjustments against the run. No mention of the quick pass play design by McDaniels that frustrated JJ Watt, no metion of the brilliance of Bill to acquire Talib to cover one on one and allow the team to blitz more and move McCourty, the emerging Rodney Harrisomn Jr. to safety. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Only guys that actually played and coached like Super Bowl winning coach Jon Gruden, who was effusive in his praise of Belichick over iand over again, mention his name. Football experts, Dumb, Confused and Shameless couldn't get the word BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBelichick out of their mouths. And, yes, that does say a mouthful, doesn't it!
Gotta love Shank going from tongue in cheek mockery of Patriot fanboys yesterday to putting the Patriots in the Super Bowl today. Such a jackass.
Yesterday's column annoyed me a little bit but after the game was over, I'd planned to write in and say "Gee Dan - when you're right you're right." But instead I have to write please stop it. First of all, there are still games to be played by each team in the league. And second of all, my husband is a die-hard Giants fan. I do NOT need a third trip through the ringer on that certain Sunday....it's as though everything that is published by the Globe was actually written by me...so please STOP IT! Thanks. Happy Holidays.
Dan, C;mon man. This team plays one game at a time. These fans think about one game at a time. Get. With. The. Program.
Slow down there, cowboy. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Im guessing we wont see a column this year from you hoping the Pats and Giants meet in the Super Bowl again?
You outdid youself, Dan. This is a classic. I chuckled all the way through! Mucho gratias!!!!!
Don't feed the troll. No I didn't read it because it's the same warmed-over tripe Shaughnessy has written for years. They'll get a real writer eventually if we all just keep ignoring him.
