Who can forget Anakim's classic post during the SB XLII game thread just moments before David Tyree made the greatest catch in NFL history?
What poster will have the dubious honor of authoring such an ill-timed, poorly-crafted, and totally ironic post in this Super Bowl's game thread, and what heretofore irrelevant Giant will step up and make the huge play that earns that poster a place of dishonor in the BBI Hall of Shame?
Any predictions?
I'd bet a $20 on that; my reaction then the play happening.

david tyree i love you
Meh - So what? Big deal!
rough translations
That's what makes them so fun to read after the game.
AND
Spectacular!
Anak pulls a reverse Babe Ruth and (doesn't) call the shot. - ( New Window )
And I don't know how it will ever be topped. It was just another piece of the magical run we were all on.
It was a great post and a great moment.
As I said when I implied when I started this thread, it will be fun to read those threads after the Giants beat the Patriots this coming Sunday and see who becomes 2011's version of Anak in 2007.

game over.....sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks now Robbins
Seriously...how do you ever post again after that.
But whatever. In the end, I'll gladly take the flack, unfair as it may be, since we did end up winning the Super Bowl
As with most things in life, timing is everything.
You can be a pessimist and say that timing resulted in you being treated unfairly, but in my opinion that would be looking at it all wrong.
Your timing was perfect. You made the comment a single play before Tyree made that catch and he and you became legendary.
Well done friend, and I can only hope you outdo yourself this coming Sunday.
Godspeed.
That encounter in the NYC watch store really made an impression on Eli.
That was an incredibly memorable post
Not because of.Anak. under the tension of the moment it was very understandable
Being down to fighting to win with Tyree a special teams player and 6th wr it was a legit outburst
Its the timing and the incredible outcome which immediately follows whi h makes it unforgettable.
The fact that Anakim at the time was amazingly unlucky as a poster only adds to it. But I point out that the average fan who did not follow the team would never have noticed. Anakim may be many.things but he is a serious and good sports fan
Whatever though. I don't think I'm thought of any less because of that post anyway.
We were all about to witness the Greatest Play in Super Bowl History, and not a single one of us can claim to have had any idea it was coming. Anakim's post right before it specifically naming Tyree in disgust just underscores that ignorance we all had.
This has been preordained for you since 1925. Tim Mara had foreseen it.
And it's part of the mythology of that play now!! I mean, Tyree?!?!?! I still get goosebumps when I remember screaming and high fiving my buddies after that one
I mean it was 4 years ago...and I still don't know how he caught it and held on! Or how Eli got away!!
WHY IS TYREE THERE?

When I saw that post after the game I grinned, finding it hilarious in hindsight - but I didn't grin thinking you were a fucking moron for it.
I've got plenty of other reasons to think you're a moron. ;)
"What the hell is Eli doing out there?"
Every snap....
Would I get banned?
