Packers-Giants Quasi Live Blog: Overtime

The Packers win the toss and take the ball, and Robinson returns it to their own 26. They've done little if anything to deserve to be in this game, and Favre is 9 of 16 for 21 yards in the second half -- wow. Grant for 2 to the left, and Justin Tuck is down.

Honestly, if the Packers can get just one first down here, I think the Giants could collapse like a house of cards. They've had so many chances to still be playing... and then Favre throws his second back-breaking pick of the day, and this time, Corey Webster doesn't have the RW McQuarters's politeness of turning it back over. The G-Men start at the Packers 34.

Bradshaw for 4. One suspects that the men in blue really aren't hoping to set up a field goal attempt. 2nd and 6 is a draw, and Bradshaw gets a yard. 3rd and 5 is the biggest play of the game to date... and it's incomplete to Smith, who drops it.

Tynes is on to try to end the game for the third time, this time from 47. This time, he gets it, and on some level, you have to be happy for Tynes, because now he won't be killed.

Well folks, I can truthfully say that I've never been less enthused by a Super Bowl matchup than this one. And I'll have more later, but I've got kids to put to bed, and liquor to drink. But at least that over bet won!
