Super Bowl

Congratulations to the New York Giants

I find that one of the most obnoxious things about sports are those who say "i told you so"
If you're talkin about your team that's one thing
For example "I told you John Wall was going to tear it up in the league"
Obviously that's a false statement as of now, but i'm sure many people will say that once he does (hopefully) start tearing up the league
But even then, that's ok, whatever, ur simply being a fan

But
I've had countless people come up to me and tell me "i told you the giants were going to win the super bowl, in your face!"
Or something along those lines
Like, child please, the Giants were the hottest team coming into the playoffs, and obviously they had a good chance to win if the point spread was only 3....... or 2.5 .. whatever
Point being, these so-called fans start acting like they own the football world by making these statements that are borderline obvious
For example... "Man.. i TOLD you the Redskins were going to lose to the Patriots!"
Fool, there's a better chance that Joe Im goes to seminary than the redskins winning these days....
Come back when you can make a bold statement.. like "I TOLD you Jeremy Lin was going to win the NBA Dunk Contest!"

Anyways, going back to the Super Bowl
I was doing a little bit of research
From 2007-2012 (and i went to 2007 because i was too lazy to keep researching for more than 5 minutes...) the Super Bowl winners have been:
2011-12: Giants
2010-11: Packers
2009-10: Saints
2008-09: Steelers
2007-08: Giants

Now let me give you the scores of the games where the Redskins played the team from that season

2011-12: Giants (NYG 14 @ WAS 28 ; WAS 23 @ NYG 10 )
2010-11: Packers (GB 13 @ WAS 16 )
2009-10: Saints(NO 33 @ WAS 30 )
2008-09: Steelers ( PIT 23 @ WAS 6 )
2007-08: Giants (NYG 24 @ WAS 17 ; WAS 22 @ NYG 10)

So outside of that Pittsburgh game, you will notice the Redskins have kept it pretty close
So my theory on how to win a Super Bowl has come down this
Either the Redskins are REALLY good
OR (and this is probably a lot more realistic)
The Redskins are SO BAD, that the only way to prove that you are not on the same level as the Redskins, as the scores would show, is to simply win the Super Bowl
There would be no other way to justify losing to the Redskins
The Giants this year must have thought that, in order for the world not to laugh at them for getting swept by the Redskins, they can only win the Super Bowl
That was their motivation
Not simply win for the sake of winning
BUT win so that people will NEVER REMEMBER THAT THEY LOST TO THE REDSKINS THAT YEAR

One day the Redskins will be good again... (although c'mon... 20 years is a longgggg time to be believing that...)
And on that day... We can all collectively say "I told you so" and not sound like a pretentious D-bag!

See Ya
