You know Tiki Barber is telling everyone who’ll listen that he was right; the Giants are one of the top 2 teams in the NFC.

You know how I feel about Tiki. I did notice that this recent success has come without the help of one big-butted, chrome-domed sissifuss.

Anyway, congrats, Tiki. The team you no longer play for is in position to compete for the NFC Championship. And they’re coached by a guy who’s got a track record of not getting past this game. And you’ve got Eli Manning, with his permagoof facial expression, wondering himself if he’s ready to play in the really big games.

And here I thought karma was going to make Favre go down to Dallas to win, finishing off his ultimate football checklist. Looks like karma prefers to have Tom Coughlin’s New York team take the hard road to prove they’re worthy of some big, sparkly rings.

I don’t know if Toomer or Burress like getting chucked hard at the line of scrimmage, or if they like getting the side of their chest walls caved in after a catch, but three hours of that is coming. Atari Bigby thinks damaging your bodies is like fishing. The way he describes it, it sounds more like when you were 9 and caught a rock bass, then when trying to de-hook it you squeezed so hard poop shot out of it.

Come to think of it, that sounds about right.

See you Sunday.
