Well, I'm back........but just barely.
During STC's first month of operation its readership exploded.
Followers across the globe anxiously awaited the latest commentary available.
And for a short while, the world of blogging was completely blissful.
But just as fast as STC's great lift into the spotlight,
came a cold, dark shadow over my digital euphoria.
Demands from the masses became stressful.
"Do this!" "Write about that!" "Tell me your thoughts on X"
I was twisted and bent in the putty of my own admirers.
Ultimately, under the scrutiny of the media and others,
the pressure became unbearable.
...
...
...
But
...
Now is a new day, and I again rise to the challenge,
perhaps for one final time or perhaps here to stay,
and determined to fend off the fiery demands of critics and followers alike!
(Ok let's get serious. I got busy
and my 3 readers wanted a superbowl prediction in writing.)
I'm happy to say that in my NFL playoff predictions,
I had the Patriots in the Superbowl, beating the Packers.
Now that it is Patriots vs. Giants
I'm rooting for the Giants.
(probably because I dislike the Giants less than I do the Patriots)
(and I always like to root for the underdog)
So either way, I'm a winner.
If the Giants win--great! I'm rooting for them!
If the Patriots win--great! I predicted that weeks ago!
The game will be a close one.
I see a nervous, slow start for both offenses
and poor execution before all the Superbowl jitters wear off.
Hopefully it's not a track meet, where the scores go into the high 30s and 40s.
If that happens, look for a huge Patriots win
dominated by Tom Brady and his army of unconventional receiving targets.
But because it won't be a track meet,
this game will come down to the fourth quarter,
and I predict that which ever team has the most points
at the end of the fourth quarter will win the game.
Seriously....but not.
If the Giants' front four on defense can put quick pressure on Brady
then look out for a dandy of a game.
I think the winner of the turnover margin will win the game.
Ultimately, Brady, Belichick and the Patriots
will pass their way around the Giants' pass rush.
I see a late turnover that turns into quick points
to put the game out of reach for the Giants.
Brady will further solidify his place in the Hall of Fame
while Eli Manning deservedly raises the question
of which Manning is move valuable.
Patriots win 31-23.
But remember, I'm still rooting for the Giants!
