]]> <![CDATA[Super Bowl XLII, Tecmo Bowl Style]]> I ran a my own simulation also. Brady and Eli both got stuck in their own massive bubbles and couldn't escape because they ate way too many pieces of fruit and cake. Also, they had to use a cheat because Bubble Bobble takes ages to beat otherwise.

That simulation was also lacking in the emo bangs department.

Jeff Martin

]]> <![CDATA[Super Bowl XLII, Tecmo Bowl Style]]> Tom Brady even knows how to run between the tackles! That guy is just too good.

Then again, Brady has shown himself to be a natural at hitting the holes, hasn't he?

ThatMarkDude

]]> <![CDATA[Super Bowl XLII, Tecmo Bowl Style]]> Eli made some questionable decisions. No idea why he didn't run for the first down on two occasions late and also why he kept trying to force the ball in to Burress when Moss was open. And that pick in the endzone was ugly.

And why the hell was Belichick trying to run it up with under a minute left?

Yeah, I watched the end and thought, "hey, that's some terrible playcalling and clock management," but then i realized that it was totally realistic.

]]> <![CDATA[Super Bowl XLII, Tecmo Bowl Style]]> It seemed pretty accurate except for the lack of Tom Brady riding a Segway while holding the Super Bowl trophy shouting "everyone sucks but me".

This brings back horrible memories, though, of when I threw my NES out of my dorm window after I bombed an econ exam and the game wouldn't work.

]]> <![CDATA[Super Bowl XLII, Tecmo Bowl Style]]> Bad clock management, interceptions at critical moments, the Patriots winning by 3 -- my God, it's like watching Super Bowl XXXIX all over again.

Hart Lee was a great player, assuming you don't expect your WRs to know how to run a route or go over the middle.

Gourmet Spud

]]> <![CDATA[Super Bowl XLII, Tecmo Bowl Style]]> I've been saying this all along, for the Giants to win they must establish a pass rush by calling the exact same play as the Patriots. If they can do this, then Brady won't be able to do what he does best which is drop back 40 yards and throw to Moss deep.

]]> <![CDATA[Super Bowl XLII, Tecmo Bowl Style]]> @RedDear: The hell I don't.

Which QB would you like me to wax rhapsodic about -- Huge Millen or Tommy Hodson? Shall I expound upon the grace and dignity that was the Irving Fryar experience? Or should the conversation instead turn to the stoic might of John Stephens or Ray Agnew? In the end, it doesn't matter, because local-boy-made-good Greg McMurtry is going to take the NFL by storm, I tell ya!

Triple B
