With two truly despicable teams in the Super Bowl this year, it's difficult to decide who to root for. Here's a quick list of the pros and cons of each team losing:
New York Giants win -- Cons
** QB Eli Manning gets his second Super Bowl win. Only 10 QBs have won more than one Super Bowl. Only three of them aren't in the Hall of Fame. Two of them are active (Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger). The only other non-Hall of Famer is Jim Plunkett.
** Coach Tom Coughlin gets his second Super Bowl win. Only 12 coaches have won more than one Super Bowl.
** New York get its 50th professional sports championship. That's the most of any U.S. city.
** On the eve of the new baseball season, New York fans become even more insufferable in their rivalry talk with Boston fans.
New York Giants win -- Pros
** The Patriots don't win the Super Bowl.
New England Patriots win -- Cons
** QB Tom Brady wins his fourth Super Bowl. Only two other men have won that many: Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana. Only one other QB has appeared in five Super Bowls in his career (John Elway).
** Coach Bill Belichick wins his four Super Bowl. Only one other coach has won that many in his career (Chuck Noll).
** Boston gets its 35th professional sports championship, and its 8th in the last decade.
** On the eve of the new baseball season, Boston fans become even more insufferable in their rivalry talk with New York fans.
New England Patriots win -- Pros
** The Giants don't win the Super Bowl.
Tough call. Is it too late to root for the 49ers again?

This didn't help me at all. I'm even more depressed now.
I guess it is happy news that no matter what, one of these evil clubs will lose. So I change my mind - thanks for the pick-me-up.
