  • Petron10, on 01/21/2008, -64/+44Was that 22 to 7?
  • SizzorB, on 01/21/2008, -4/+265I think it says 23-7
    • NoCt1, on 01/21/2008, -0/+53the current spread is 14.5 points. that fits.
      • thcobbs, on 01/21/2008, -7/+37The .5 points are there to prevent pushes in betting.
        • threemagic, on 01/21/2008, -14/+25Hey, thanks for that Mr. Obvious.
          • thecheatah, on 01/22/2008, -0/+3Im bad at math and dont exactly know how much touchdowns and other points are, this was actually helpful for me.
        • nreynolds, on 01/21/2008, -2/+35@ threemagic
          I heard he made 'captain' actually, a big promotion...
        • FatPhizzle, on 01/21/2008, -0/+28Hey threemagic! Not everyone is a sports better like you are. thcobbs' information was actually new to me. Thank you thcobbs
          • DocHoliday22, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1Yeah I didn't know what it was either, I had to look it up...
        • dracostimpy, on 01/21/2008, -2/+20I move away from the mic to breathe in.
        • atgmac, on 01/21/2008, -8/+1That's *Captain* Obvious
    • Revolution101, on 01/21/2008, -1/+42god damn illuminati must have joined forces with xenu!
      • inverselogic, on 01/22/2008, -6/+1Lol...
        • ruyz, on 01/22/2008, -0/+4very contributive much like my comment.
        • inverselogic, on 01/22/2008, -1/+0so gay puns all day and trolling responses of responses are ? dick
    • Puttzy, on 01/21/2008, -6/+35Great!! Thanks for the [spoiler alert].

      • uberfr4gger, on 01/22/2008, -8/+6Its not really a spoiler, you find it out basically the first scene in the beginning.
        • xtc46, on 01/22/2008, -5/+9and it has nothing to do with the movie...
          • jazbek, on 01/22/2008, -0/+11dear geniuses,
            i think he was making a joke about spoiling the superbowl.
            ~captain obvious
      • karlhouser, on 01/22/2008, -0/+3Hmmm... somehow I am fairly sure his exsasperation and anger are a joke... and also maybe that he meant spoiler alert for the football game....
    • wc3452, on 01/22/2008, -0/+5I don't understand why Petron was dugg down so much and SizzorB was dug up so much...
      • ruyz, on 01/22/2008, -1/+10because you touch yourself at night.
        • stonedslacker, on 01/22/2008, -0/+2I know that was completely juvenile and a silly non-sequitur but I literally ROFL'd
      • Richggs, on 01/22/2008, -0/+2Because hyphens are the most powerful force known to man.
    • RolliePollie, on 01/26/2008, -0/+0The Giants already lost to the Patriots for the 2nd time this season......once in the pre-season and once in the regular season. Giants are going to pull the upset this time!
  • duddles, on 01/21/2008, -21/+288Is that score supposed to be from the super bowl? Why would they need to mention 'for the second time this season'?
    If Emma Thompson cures cancer next, this would really start to be eerie...
    • apathy9, on 01/21/2008, -4/+166The only way they could play twice would be in the Super Bowl
      • Twoje, on 01/21/2008, -4/+27Why wouldn't they just say 'in the Super Bowl.'?
        • devilbody, on 01/21/2008, -0/+56http://lsolum.typepad.com/copyfutures/2004/10/the_ ... - That should clear some things up.
          • mortigon, on 01/21/2008, -2/+48SUPERBOWL SUPERBOWL SUPER SUNDAY NFL NFL SUPERBOWL
          • Twoje, on 01/21/2008, -1/+20You CAN say or print:
            *The names of the cities of the teams competing in the Super Bowl (i.e. New England v. Carolina), but NOT the team names themselves (i.e. Patriots v. Panthers)


            UHOH!!
          • falstaff, on 01/21/2008, -2/+13Except that the NFL's position is complete *****. Nothing in copyright law allows them to claim these rights that only they can mention certain words or phrases. It's only by putting the fear of a lawsuit into people that they have gotten away with it this long.
          • Nemi, on 01/22/2008, -0/+6That is for Marketing and Promotions. NOT reporting the news, which the ticker on the bottom of the screen is doing.

            EDIT: Except that this is in a movie. I get it.
        • NoCt1, on 01/21/2008, -5/+25Because they lost to them in the regular season. Then they played them in the superbowl. Hence Twice.
        • catfish182, on 01/21/2008, -0/+5There might be a copyright law about the movie saying super bowl.
          Remember some ads say "the big game" or they say "the NFL championship" as the NFL wants money for every time super bowl is said or written.
      • Murfshay22, on 01/21/2008, -12/+2Well, technically, thats wrong. They played in pre-season as well... but no body counts preseason.
      • OmegaGreg, on 01/22/2008, -3/+1Umm. That's not true. They already played this season, before the Superbowl. Last regular season game for both teams.
    • adie, on 01/21/2008, -4/+149Meaning that the movie ALSO predicted that the Pats would beat the Giants the first time they played, too. That was the time that sealed the Pats as being undefeated for the regular season and was broadcast on both NBC and CBS. So really, there are a SEVERAL predictions here, all of which came true (so far):
      1. The Pats would beat the Giants in the regular season game.
      2. The Pats would make it to the Super Bowl
      3. The Giants would make it to the Super Bowl

      All of these came true (which is impressive), but there are still more predictions left:
      4. The Pats win the Super Bowl
      5. The score is 23-7

      Pretty amazing considering the movie was made upwards of a year ago.
      • ShugNinx21, on 01/21/2008, -26/+14It's not impressive. It's neat. If they had gotten any or all of those "predictions" wrong, nobody would care and we wouldn't be here talking about how neat it was.
      • Skyfire, on 01/21/2008, -2/+28Number 4, unfortunately, is very possible. The score is probably the hardest thing to have predicted. Having gotten this far is pretty impressive.
        • Ugoff, on 01/22/2008, -0/+3If the Pats win by that score, I'm building a bomb shelter and prepare for our zombie overlords.
      • jazbek, on 01/22/2008, -3/+1As if it's been hard to predict any SuperBowl since 9-11...
    • Pilot85, on 01/21/2008, -2/+14Time to head northeast...
    • spectecjr, on 01/21/2008, -0/+6Actually, the cancer cure bit is reasonably accurate based on current science. They're using Herpesviridae to inject RNA into cells.
      • FatLoser, on 01/22/2008, -1/+0"Herpesviridae"

        So you're saying I'm immune to cancer?
        • pwnerofnoobs, on 01/22/2008, -0/+3Nope, I see no mention of FatLoser in his response.
          • theeldest, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1Yes you do, right where it says HERPES!!

            ...I though it was obvious, FatLoser...
        • Maxxodd, on 01/22/2008, -0/+0ROTFLOL
    • adrenalinepcs, on 01/22/2008, -0/+4I better start brushing up on my zombie survival techniques
    • patik, on 01/22/2008, -4/+1Didn't this part of the movie take place in 2009?
    • rednecktoast, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1***** this. I'm still planning on presenting my cure for cancer on February 4th
  • nico623, on 01/21/2008, -10/+149Shouldn't told Brett Favre...maybe he wouldn't have throw that interception at overtime.
    • guiscard, on 01/21/2008, -16/+3Why did that movie start with sports, then move to the cure for cancer?
      • kmckanna, on 01/21/2008, -2/+4If that is some kind of spoiler, I will e-punch you.
        • MikeD606, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1It's not a spoiler. It's given away near the beginning of the movie as the reason for everyone turning into zombies.
        • bradmoreland, on 01/22/2008, -2/+1No, a spoiler would be saying that he has to strangle his dog after it gets bitten by zombie dogs. Or that he blows himself up at the end with a hand grenade to give the Mexican chick and her kid a chance to escape while carrying the cure.
      • zacharytelschow, on 01/21/2008, -2/+7Will Smith's character is watching a taped newscast of things as they were, because as things are he has very little company.
  • sundancekid503, on 01/21/2008, -9/+621I hope the part about Will Smith being one of the only humans to survive the near future turns out to be wrong...
    • humperdeath, on 01/21/2008, -0/+96Wow, that would be creepy, although who would be around to care, except for Will Smith?
      • bs0l, on 01/21/2008, -5/+15Everyone that didn't die up in like Maine or whatever.
      • AmICoolNow, on 01/21/2008, -0/+29If Will Smith makes a sound and no one is there to hear it, does he make a sound?
        • TenebrousX, on 01/21/2008, -0/+30Fred will hear it
        • gh0st3000, on 01/22/2008, -2/+3the zombies will hear it. duh.
        • abid786, on 01/22/2008, -2/+4Chuck Norris will because he cannot die
          • jazbek, on 01/22/2008, -0/+2Sorry, I dugg you down for making a Chuck Norris joke, but then I realized your joke made absolutely no sense. I wish I could remove that negative digg. Sorry.
      • christophelyon, on 01/22/2008, -0/+5the dog
      • thirty6chambers, on 01/22/2008, -1/+2Me. Well, the night zombie infested version of me.
      • TheRascalKing, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1Fred.
    • Kevinok, on 01/21/2008, -7/+2Yeah me to.
    • eddantes7, on 01/21/2008, -10/+3Yeah, why would you care? Unless of course you plan on being one of the zombie's that he lays the smack down on?!?! Are you planning it?? Huh, are ya??
      • gmiley, on 01/21/2008, -7/+4Well, they do end up curing the zombieism disease too, so even if you are a zombie, as long as you don't get pwned by someone, there is a chance you will ultimately survive right?
    • airwalkery2k, on 01/21/2008, -2/+20If it all does happen, at least they'll cure cancer...
      • kingfoot, on 01/21/2008, -0/+11that and the horrible "human" disorder, by turning everyone into zombies!
        • Wade, on 01/22/2008, -0/+3They'd also have a cure for that, eventually.
    • Kronos6948, on 01/21/2008, -0/+62Who's he going to get jiggy with?
    • Xyleene, on 01/21/2008, -16/+2SPOILER: Don't worry... the movie says he'll get his too.
    • suinmind, on 01/21/2008, -4/+16I hope the part where gas price is above $7 is wrong.....
      • phuzzy3d, on 01/22/2008, -0/+3Actually the prices were
        663 for Regular.
        687 for Spec.
        695 for Super.

        I wouldn't want to pay these prices either.
    • appleseed1234, on 01/21/2008, -2/+14Sweet! I'm a 20 minute drive to Vermont. I know where I'm vacationing in 2009, with my Zombie survival guide...
    • zonk3r, on 01/22/2008, -7/+6Especially considering he's a Scientologist:
      http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22088489/
      • bobsantos, on 01/22/2008, -8/+2Religious discrimination... never gets old.
        • beetlecrazy12, on 01/22/2008, -1/+2It's a ***** cult. Have you been on Digg at all the past week or so?
      • LostnTransition, on 01/22/2008, -0/+7Actually, for the 4th or so time this week, he ISN'T a scientoligist he came out publicly and said it wasn't for him...

        http://www.usmagazine.com/node/13674
        seeeeeeeeeee!
  • DeadSkinMask, on 01/21/2008, -49/+36GO GIANTS!
    • Chirp08, on 01/21/2008, -16/+7my first thought was to digg you down, because I dont like the Giants, but that seems immature imo, so you shall remain neutral.
    • mydigga, on 01/21/2008, -2/+38I dugg you down for shouting at me while I'm working. That's just not cool, I spilled apple juice all down the front of my shirt...
    • DeadSkinMask, on 01/21/2008, -12/+24Just for the record, I dont actually live in New York. I just dont want to see the Superbowl won by a bunch of cheaters.
      • chocolatetacos, on 01/21/2008, -4/+10Word up.
      • Agger, on 01/22/2008, -4/+1We're all crying... even if they cheated, NE has a better team. And they have shown that the whole season.
        Just for the record, I dont actually live in New England. I just have a man crush on Tom Brady.
        • RJGONZO, on 01/22/2008, -0/+6Just like Tampa Bay, Dallas, and Green Bay all had better teams than the Giants.....
      • braudio, on 01/22/2008, -2/+1See, I Dugg you up for saying Go Giants, but now you're goin down for something stupid like that. Cheaters?? 1 extra video angle isn't much help when it comes down to executing your game plan on field...get over it.
        • DeadSkinMask, on 01/22/2008, -0/+3It helps quite a bit when that "1 extra video angle" is locked in on the play signals.
    • Ajajadude, on 01/22/2008, -7/+4Giants don't deserve to win. Especially for the fans. Booing Manning at home when he was struggling was pretty stupid.
      • cwabray, on 01/22/2008, -1/+6so, Manning doesn't deserve to win, because his own fans don't appreciate him, therefore nobody else should, and because they don't, he doesn't deserve to be successful because people, whom you describe as 'stupid', should determine the attitudes of the rest of us.

        you're a goober.

        Go Plaxico!
      • RJGONZO, on 01/22/2008, -0/+2Umm, yea. Welcome to sports in New York. Same thing happens in Boston and many other towns if you don't perform.
  • pdarg, on 01/21/2008, -28/+7seriously, hes a scientologist now
  • ControlcChris, on 01/21/2008, -16/+9Only the truth.
  • cosmicpoet, on 01/21/2008, -6/+223Note to self, if someone gets on TV touting a cure to cancer, kill them... oh, and buy 3 German Sheppards just in case one dies or gets killed by a zombified Doberman.
    • SweetChinMusic, on 01/21/2008, -0/+60And please make sure they eat their vegetables.
      • ethanpack, on 01/21/2008, -8/+4Snoop Dogg doesn't make his kids eat their vegetables.
      • chedabob, on 01/21/2008, -1/+14And save the bacon.
    • chocolatetacos, on 01/21/2008, -1/+25Also, make sure you can choke those German Sheppards out, in case they get infected.
    • troyfoley, on 01/21/2008, -2/+6SPOILER ALERT!
    • tito184, on 01/21/2008, -2/+8Don't forget to move somewhere very sunny with not many places to hide...Sahara sounds nice.
    • CaptainCool53, on 01/21/2008, -0/+27The only thing that could make that movie better is more lions. Replace all the zombies with lions, retitle it "I Am Lions."
      • getrdone656, on 01/22/2008, -0/+6I pick land walking man eating sharks
        With ficken lazers on their back
      • redstorm986, on 01/22/2008, -1/+0I don't know why but this made me laugh.
        • pwnerofnoobs, on 01/22/2008, -5/+8Farting in my hand and throwing it in your face would make me laugh.
        • xtc46, on 01/22/2008, -0/+6@pwnerofnoobs

          so...Im not the only one who does that...err i mean used to do that...when I was a kid and stuff.
    • Woolis, on 01/22/2008, -2/+1I don't think that those dogs were Doberman Pinshers. they looked more like Pit bulls to me.
    • thr33m, on 01/22/2008, -0/+7And don't blow yourself up. Throw the grenade and jump in the (whatever that was) with the lady and the kid.
      • bobakanush, on 01/23/2008, -0/+2when I saw that I was like wtf, there was a little hole the creature made that he could have simply tossed the grenade out then hid in that magical little shaft with the woman and her kid. but no, he had to sacrifice himself for some lame reason
    • tvon, on 01/22/2008, -1/+5Also be sure to have a better home defense system than "blow up all the cars out front"
  • ECas123, on 01/21/2008, -24/+2I don't get it...
    • CreativeGuy, on 01/21/2008, -2/+3that's because you are apparently an idiot!
  • Gugel, on 01/21/2008, -1/+222Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
    • beats1234, on 01/21/2008, -6/+3"Bernie..."

      DON'T BERNIE ME
    • mickcn, on 01/22/2008, -10/+1Actually, I found at least 4 very good connections to me in this movie. I'm not saying I am leagend, I am just one who puts very good effort into paying attention to the things going on around myself. Sometimes, too much. Actually, minus the baptist part, this is exactly how I feel about religion. So, that makes 5.

      "I don't necessarily believe in organized religion," Smith, 39, said when asked about Scientology Friday at a junket for his upcoming film I Am Legend.
      "I love my God, my higher power, but it is mine and mine alone, and I create my connection, and I decide how my connection is going to be," he added.
      Describing himself as a "student of world religions," Smith — who was raised a Baptist — said: "I believe that my connection to my higher power is separate from everybody's.
      "I don’t believe that the Muslims have all the answers and all the beliefs. I don’t believe the Christians have all the answers and beliefs, or that the Jews have all the answers."

      Exactly how many similarities do events have to have, before they are no longer coincidences?
      • Thedarklord187, on 01/22/2008, -0/+7what the hell are you talking about???
  • ryrysofly, on 01/21/2008, -2/+31alright, this settles it, that guy selling the emergency zombie-attack kit is about to be getting some buyers real soon
    • Ashtonn, on 01/21/2008, -4/+3it was vampires,
      has anyone actually read the book?
      • brettmurf, on 01/21/2008, -2/+0Well, the book didn't have Will Smith in it, and also didn't suck badly. So just let them refer to them as zombies, because the movie was just a zombie movie, despite what the book was.
      • redstorm986, on 01/22/2008, -1/+1They weren't really vampires, they were undead or technically alive superstrength people with intelligence(in the book). So KINDA vampires.
      • Shadow503, on 01/22/2008, -2/+2The Movie > The Book
        • xtc46, on 01/22/2008, -0/+3I doubt it. I dont think I have ever seen a move that was better than a book, with the exception of books that were written after the movie.
      • sarge96, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1The book I got was a rip, it said "I am Legend" on the front, but half of it is ***** short stories by Richard Matheson.
    • diulei, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1Doesn't really matter, considering only about half of the movie followed the book.
    • GriffBroChill, on 01/22/2008, -0/+4i got mine
      http://tribe.cycomaniacs.com/?p=182
    • Ashtonn, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1i love how I get dugg down for being right.
  • CurtisV314, on 01/21/2008, -5/+75A clearer picture of this:
    http://picboost.com/upload/prediction.jpg
    That is awesome. Kinda freaky
    • indraneel24, on 01/21/2008, -1/+12I want to see what the next thing says. It starts w/ Shaquille, so it has to be something craaazy.
      • chocolatetacos, on 01/21/2008, -0/+25Shaquille O'Neal signs on for Kazaam 2.
      • Lyght, on 01/21/2008, -1/+7If I remember correctly, it said something along the lines of "Shaquille O'Neal announces he will retire at end of 2009 season."
    • bingobongony, on 01/22/2008, -7/+1Freaky? The Patriots part was an obvious choice. And the Giants were not favorites, but they were expected to make the playoffs.
      And gee...putting a NY and Boston team in the finals? Freaky!
      • McHaleR, on 01/22/2008, -2/+4ZOMG THE END OF THE WORLD!@#!@#!@$!@$!@$!#@!#
      • daveisfera, on 01/22/2008, -0/+1If it was so obvious of a choice, then why didn't you throw some money down in Vegas?
  • lukeydukey, on 01/21/2008, -1/+28if Emma Thompson cures cancer, I'm getting the hell out of nyc, stocking up on food, getting large amounts of vinegar to cover my tracks, and modifying a ***** load of Sharper Image GPs so i could use them as UV lights, while killing germs in the air =)
    • gerbalblaste, on 01/21/2008, -0/+29or you could just move to canada
    • xtc46, on 01/22/2008, -0/+3couldn't they then just follow the smell of the vinegar? thats what I didn't get, if you cover your smell with anything other than another naturally occurring odor, you are just leaving a different smelling trail. This would only help if the animal tracking you was trained only to follow a particular scent, and not any scent trail (which isnt too far off) but would probably end up following the new one anyway.
  • ubitendo, on 01/21/2008, -49/+21Now, this is a story all about how
    My life got flipped-turned upside down
    And I liked to take a minute
    Just sit right there
    I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air

    In west Philadelphia born and raised
    On the playground was where I spent most of my days
    Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
    And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
    When a couple of guys
    Who were up to no good
    Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
    I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
    She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

    I begged and pleaded with her day after day
    But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
    She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
    I put my walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

    First class, yo this is bad
    Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
    Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
    Hmmmmm this might be alright.

    But wait I hear there're prissy, wine all that
    Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
    I don't think sow
    I'll see when I get there
    I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

    Well, the plane landed and when I came out
    There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
    I ain't trying to get arrested
    I just got here
    I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappeared

    I whistled for a cab and when it came near
    The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
    If anything I can say this cab is rare
    But I thought 'Now forget it' - 'Yo homes to Bel Air'

    I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
    And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
    I looked at my kingdom
    I was finally there
    To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

    • mcgarry83, on 01/21/2008, -0/+11We can only hope. Movie (Legend) takes place in 2009, that means they should be in pre-production pretty soon.

  • adidos, on 01/21/2008, -26/+11The ticker in the screencap doesn't say anything about the Superbowl...it only says that the Giants lose to the Patriots...
    • maninsociety, on 01/21/2008, -21/+2if it were the superbowl it would say "superbowl" and not "for second time this season".
    • mediaspree, on 01/21/2008, -4/+46For the 2nd time this season is only possible at the superbowl.
    • ju66l3r, on 01/21/2008, -3/+17The only way the Giants would lose to the Patriots for the second time in one season would be in the Super Bowl (not considering pre-season games since they don't count towards any records/official standings).

      They are in two separate conferences and teams from different conferences might play each other once during the regular season, but never twice in a single season. The next time two teams from different conferences would be able to play against each other would be in the Super Bowl when the best team from each of the two conferences play against each other.
    • sss33, on 01/21/2008, -4/+4Actually it doesn't have to say Super Bowl. The only way the Patriots could play the Giants twice in one season is if the second game was in the Super Bowl. You can only play a non-divisional rival once in the regular season.
    • evilunleashed, on 01/21/2008, -2/+4It says the Giants lose to the Patriots for second time this season. If the Giants lose to the Patriots in the Super Bowl, it will be the second time this season.
    • NoCt1, on 01/21/2008, -2/+7Ok.. The giants lose to the patriots the SECOND time THIS SEASON.. They can only play twice if both are in the super bowl. Face it. It is FACT.
    • skifreak107, on 01/21/2008, -1/+3For a second time... the only way they would play each other twice is in the Superbowl.
    • morninglorii, on 01/21/2008, -1/+10So, do we know it's the Superbowl because that's the only way the Giants could play the Pats for the second time this season?
    • luckyllama, on 01/21/2008, -14/+2The football season starts... then ENDS... then the playoffs leading up to the Super Bowl. It's called the "post season" for a reason. "Post" means "after". The sentence on the screen shot just makes no sense, it has nothing to do with the super bowl.
      • morninglorii, on 01/21/2008, -1/+5Which is why they keep talking about how the Patriots' season is currently 18-0...
    • ethanpack, on 01/21/2008, -0/+6Is the only way they would play each other twice if they both made it to the Superbowl? I'm not sure if I caught that in the comments above me...
    • orangefly, on 01/21/2008, -0/+9did one ***** person read the comment above their own....
    • Buckweet, on 01/21/2008, -2/+0I don't know, I read only the comment above my own.

    • dopke, on 01/21/2008, -2/+44But, that news story was aired before the outbreak of the virus since she was just announcing that they found the "cure." So it definitely could have been in 2008.
      • ShugNinx21, on 01/21/2008, -2/+17The outbreak occurred in 2009, the movie takes place in 2012. It however, is still coincidental.
    • tehnico, on 01/21/2008, -10/+4Can't happen then, since their schedules don't have them playing in the regular season for the next few years.

  • LAX182, on 01/21/2008, -22/+3Its too bad the pats already beat the giants twice this year. If it had said for the third time that would be freaky lol
    • kgool, on 01/21/2008, -0/+7Wrong, they are in different leagues. They only play once per season, unless you count pre-season. If so then you are right.

      http://www.patriots.com/schedule/

      • ShugNinx21, on 01/21/2008, -1/+2There in lies the problem. If that screen cap has said the Pats beat the giants 3 times them we would say that you count pre-season games. Since it says 2 times then we say we don't count pre-season games so that it fits better. It doesn't even give an exact date, so we can assume it was 2008 because it fits.

Not only has it been debunked LONG ago, but the Back to the Future movies are supposedly well known to Diggers and this is OBVIOUSLY *****. Why would they ahve talked about the 1997 World Series in 2015? And why would they make such a prediction? Answer? they wouldn't. They WOULDN'T however take a playful jab at the Chicago Cubs by making THEM win the World Series in 2015. Over Miami. (Not Florida.) Which in and of itself was an obviously intentional thing. Look, it's the fuure. There is a baseball team in Miami now.
  • sig331, on 01/21/2008, -17/+3If you count the preseason, the Super Bowl would be the third loss.

  • enkafan, on 01/21/2008, -2/+14Just for fun: those saying that it doesn't mention the super bowl, but merely a second loss, keep in mind that they are in different conferences so the only way they'd play twice in one season would be a single regular season game and then again in the super bowl.
    • luckyllama, on 01/21/2008, -10/+2Yeah but the Super Bowl is part of the "post-season" meaning after the season has ended. The Super Bowl is not part of a season.

  • jetboyterp, on 01/21/2008, -15/+2This is actually on of those goofs that appear in movies from time to time...First of all, the Giants can't play the Pats twice in one season the way the scheduling goes, and second...The Superbowl hasn't happened yet. Besides, the movie doesn't take place in January, 2008...
    • JDove6, on 01/21/2008, -0/+4Well they can play twice this year because they played once in the season, and both are in the SB. Also it is illegal for the movie to use the term "Super Bowl" or anything like that. Its a fun coincidence, and probably a hope of one of the movie's makers that was a Giants fan. Turns out they got it right, a year early...
    • fatdog789, on 01/21/2008, -4/+2It is not illegal for the movie to use the term Super Bowl. Where the ***** did you get that idea? The use of "Superbowl" is not important to the movie in anyway, and this is emphasized by the fact that the use is on a tiny crawler that most people didn't even look at.
    • dawglse, on 01/22/2008, -0/+6@fatdog...
      ummm, yes it is. The term SuperBowl is copyright of the NFL.
      Why do you think other places refer it to "The Big Game" and not "The Superbowl"?
