III Days

Here are my Super Bowl week Power Rankings

1. New England Patriots - I want to rank the Giants #1, but I have to give credit where credit is due. The Patriots are the best team I've ever seen, maybe in any sport. I think they are easily the best regular season team of all time, better than the '72 Dolphins based on the strength of the competition that they've faced, they're the best offensive team of all time since they shattered the total points, and both quarterback TD and wide receiver TD records. And obviously, they're a legit dynasty. I think they'd be able to beat every Super Bowl team except the '85 Bears and the '07 Giants.

2. New York Giants - Regardless of what happens, this is one of my Top 4 favorite teams of all time, along with the 1996 and 2001 Yankees and the 1999 Knicks.

3. Ben and Jerry's Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream - Fun Fact: I've had more ice cream in the last month than I had all of last year. I've probably had more ice cream in the past week than I had all of last year. I'm on pace to gain 200 pounds and have respiratory problems by June.

4. Final Fantasy Tactics for PSP - I really haven't been playing a lot of video games in recent years, partly because I haven't had time, but mostly because there haven't been any games that have held my interest for that long. And although this technically shouldn't count because this is a remake of the PS1 game, I'm completely hooked on this. I should probably should have this pried out of my hands before it starts taking over my life. It's getting to the point where it's all I want to do. In fact, hold on for a second...

...okay I'm back! I couldn't play because I'm at work, but I just added some skills in the Ninja Class in my quest to turn Ramza into a Dark Knight. Yeah, I know how exciting this sounds.

5. Eli Manning - When the Giants played the Bucs earlier this month in the first round of the playoffs, I joked with every pass that Manning was taking the next step on the path to greatness. It turns out that he's hit the ground running. I'd defend Eli because I always thought he was a good and talented quarterback who got a unfair shake, but I really didn't expect this. What a run.

6. Pretty Tom Brady - He really is a very pretty man. I wouldn't shave my head if I had his luxurious mane of hair. I would probably buy a $500 brush and cry myself to sleep with tears of joy every night.

7. Evangeline Lilly - Just because Lost returns tonight and she's hot. Also, I don't want anyone reading this to think I'm gay because I just talked about how pretty Tom Brady is and how I would giggle like a school girl if I ever met him....uh, yeah. Boobs! Big giant boobs! Yeah!

8. YouTube.com - I don't remember what the internet was like without youtube. I don't even remember what life was like without youtube. I don't remember what life was like last year. I don't remember where I wanted to go with this. I don't know what I'm doing right now.

9. Sleep - I'm not really getting a lot of sleep, but the sleep I do get is excellent. I've been having consistently good, non-werewolf dreams. However, that makes me afraid that the werewolf somehow broke out of the dream world like Freddy in Nightmare 1, and now I have to drink lemon juice every time I step outside at night. I am the only person on earth who understands what that means.

10. No Country For Old Men - not only is it the best Coen Brothers movie since Fargo, it features probably the most kick ass movie villain possibly in the history of movie villains. In fact, let's place Anton Chigurh at #1 and bump everything down a number. If Javier Bardem doesn't win the Oscar it's the biggest robbery of all time.

And the rest of them...

12. Barack Obama vs. Hillary and Bill Clinton
13. Britney Spears
14. The Wire Season 5
15. Setting the over/under for # of people Rambo kills at 50.5 (which he COMPLETELY obliterated in the climactic scene alone)
16. The Cookie Monster
17. Chocolate Flavored Coffee
18. The entire Hip Hop steroid/HGH scandal
19. Rudy Giuliani's campaign advisers
20. Conan O'Brian's Strike Beard (would've been made the Top 10 but he shaved it)
