So Eli Manning and the Giants are headed to the Super Bowl. We’re not surprised for two reasons: 1) That 9-0 road game streak was conjured up by witchcraft so it was inevitable that Eli & Company would win last night. 2) Green Packers jinxed themselves with their idiocy. Take the latest gimmick (pictured left) coming out of the frozen tundra that is Green Bay: old boobs in cheese bra. Young boobs, sweet: Old boobs, not so much.

We understand excitement, pride and rabid fanfare, but this is ridiculous. Like we said, young boobs, cool: old boobs…oy vey. This fan, including other morons, inspired Brett Favre to look like an older version of his old, grey-haired self. Wouldn’t you be distracted as well if this were in the stands gawking back at you. Now, we’re left as the inheritors of an East Coast showdown between a great team about to make history and a team with, um, God on their side:

Manning wasn’t the only Giant who came through. Tynes had two earlier misses - a 36-yarder at the end of regulation following a bad snap, and a 43-yarder with 6:49 to go - before nailing his long winner 2:35 into OT. “I screwed it up twice,” said Tynes, who sprinted straight to the locker room after his decisive kick, leaving his frozen teammates to celebrate outside. ”Thank God we got another opportunity.”

You should be thanking Brett Favre’s frozen brain. Now, do us all a favor and wait until the fourth quarter to choke. We’d like to fancy the idea the Giants actually have a chance.
