I'm a very stat orientated-guy when I come to do my gambling and I also look for omens. Maybe omens aren't exacty a scientific way of risking one's cash but sometimes you find a pattern that's happened before and throw a few quid/dollars on it. When Craig Carton of WFAN had to do the walk on Friday in his Speedo over the Brooklyn Bridge as a result of a remark he made concerning the Jets making the play offs, he also made the comment that the last time he did it, the Giants went on to win the Superbowl. After hearing this I stuck ?50 on the Jets to win the Superbowl @ 50/1 and lo and behold the Giants omen has had an uncannily interesting start 2008 - Giants #5 seed faced the #4 seed Buccaneers in wild card round 2010 - Jets #5 seed faced the #4 seed Bengals in wild card round 2008 - Giants go 7-0 down in 1st quarter 2010 - Jets go 7-0 down in 1st quarter 2008 - Giants lead 14-7 at half time 2010 - Jets lead 14-7 at half time 2008 - Giants win 24-14 2010 - Jets win 24-14 2008 - Highest rushing RB for Giants is the #2 RB (Bradshaw) 2010 - Highest rushing RB for Jets is the #2 RB (Greene) 2008 - Eli earns first playoff win 2010 - Sanchise earns first playoff win 2008 - Eli throws for 185 yards with 0 INTS 2010 - Sanchise throws for 182 yards with 0 INTS So folks get ready for narrow wins at Indy and San Diego and then onto the Superbowl for a 17-14 win. I'll settle for that :jets:
Don't really think this effects our playoff run.....but those stats are very similar. Would I love our postseason to mirror the Giants of 2007? Hell yes.
Wow... that's amazing. All that's missing is Rexy being on the hot seat and it's very similar. They made me a very happy person that year saving New York from the clutches of the center of evil. Hopefully the Jets can make me even happier and ridding the world of all the evil that has risen from that cespool to the north since 2001.
Why NOT the Jets...I don't think anyone in the AFC is invulnerable this year. Every team has its flaws.
There are some similar stats, but the storylines are not even close to being similar. The stats are eerily creepy though. One thing missing is a feast or famine performance by the defense the hunkers down late in the season, statistically the Giants' defense was hot and cold that year but turned it up big time at the end.
Just watched the video. Surely walking in your speedo means just that, not speedo plus 10 layers of clothing on your upper half. If four lasses can accompany him near naked across the bridge then he should man up and do the same. (should point out that I don't have any desire to see Carton near naked, just think he should have done it as was stated.)
yeah...about as insightful as calling the fact the score was 7-0 and 14-7 at the half "spooky similarities"
