Giants Win in Upset Vs. Formerly Undefeated Patriots

I called this one. I said Giants by two…then they ended up winning by three. What an exciting game. The most memorable Superbowl in a while…a close game with great defense…

For the Patriots, I can only imagine how much they hurt going into the locker room, just imagine being known as the team for all history who was *almost* undefeated and lost the *ONLY* game that folks really remember. Crushing.

Being the underdog is so much easier, and that’s why I was thinking that the Giants win…imagine the pressure of being perfect all year, and how much DRIVE the Giants had to knock off the nearly two touchdown favorite…

Three hours before the game I was frantically looking to make the first sports bet of my life, and was unsuccessful. Technical difficulties with getting money into the online sports-betting world…The Giants were -415 on the money line…missed a big payout there…

Updates and Mergers on Hypermodern.net

I’ve been on a rampage of late updating files, merging documents and getting the framework of this site more “searchable” for search engines. In addition, I have a fresh install of WordPress, and have uploaded new posts from two smaller blogs from early 2002-2004 mostly concerning skateboarding and the transition to living in San Francisco. Formerly this was know as the “Market Street All-Stars” blog. Now it exists as a page on hypermodern.net. Posts from this blog with also be marked in the category skateboarding.
