It just goes to show a person that even what seems like a sure thing can sometimes have a surprising outcome. http://www.ktvu.com/superbowl/15183873/detail.html Brady Responds To Burress' Game Prediction Giants WR Says New York Will Defeat Patriots 23-17 POSTED: 6:44 am PST January 31, 2008 PHOENIX -- Tom Brady doesn't think much of Plaxico Burress as a prognosticator. "The New England Patriots quarterback chuckled while discussing Burress' prediction Tuesday of a 23-17 Super Bowl win for the Giants Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium. Brady was surprised the Giants receiver thought the Giants would hold the Pats to 17 points, which would be a season-low for New England. The NFL Most Valuable Player said he wished Burress had predicted a 45-42 score and given the Patriots a little credit for scoring more points. The Patriots set a league record with 589 points, including 38 in their win over the Giants in the regular-season finale." |
I thought of exactly the same thing. And the Pats ended up scoring less than 17 points, which is just poetic. Brady looked incredibly unhappy for the entire game, even during their last scoring drive when the Patriots finally got into a rhythm.
