Giants website gaffe touts team as Super Bowl champs 02.04.12 at 3:56 pm ET
By

The claims by Chris Canty about planning a parade were one thing. On Saturday, the Giants’ website took such brash predictions to another level.

The website temporarily featured the image below, which linked to sales of merchandise touting the Giants as champions of Super Bowl XLVI. At some point, the mistake was detected and the image removed.

It remains to be seen whether this ends up being an exercise in “Dewey Beats Truman.”

Image appeared on giants.com on Saturday.

    Nice = I love stupidity!

  • HeyWhaddup

    Did they have the foresight to predict a score?

  • Student_minister

    And in other news… The Patriots had shirts and caps printed proclaiming them as champions. Who cares?!?!

  • Deal2851

    Giants win 24-13 Eli gets MVP player of the year and MVP of super bowl XLVI

  • JW

    That happens for both teams and the losing teams stuff is given to 3rd world countries

  • RustBelt

    Oh….so they send them to Detroit?

  • gobias

    The Pat’s didn’t put up “The Patriots are Super Bowl Champions” on their website is the difference here. 

  • Patriotray29

    Did I miss the game ? I thought it was this weekend . Are the Patriots flying home today?

  • EA

     So Rodgers got the MVP, not Manning – that’s one prediction wrong. We’ll see about the other one.

  • OHsocautiouslyoptimistic

    it’s bad karma for the Giants, BUT, Karma doesn’t win or lose football games. In spite of all the gaffes and boasts, the b*sta*d Giants could still win, and then they will be insuffereable after all this……..I remain cautiously optimistic.

  • Kellmoony

    They all do Minister.  How the heck do you think they have them immediately after the game?  LOL — whoooosh – over da head.

  • novak

    already bought my Pats Champs gear….lol

  • Djh9187

    Nice chalkboard material, thanks to the moron who put it up. GO PATRIOTS   !!!!

  • Bkrsrb

    The Patriots are being doubted by the Giants but the Pats don’t seem to care. Whatever Manning does I for one do not care. Any quarterback or player self proclaims themselves as elite makes me feel like they are the only one that thinks so. I know how the news feel about him but his elite position is up to us not him to proclaim. Neither Payton or Tom have ever made such a ludicrous comment and never would. The Giants have there front four but we have one of the best lines in football. I don’t know if they are elite like Eli proclaims himself to be but they sure look like it to me. Even his front four is elite they he  is. He throws big passes but still makes bad decisions.GO PATS!

  • Davidjlong

    Save it for another time Giants,this ain’t the time though !!!!

  • Kicksave7

    Whoever did this should be fired if the Giants lose today.

  • Rktarlo

    Brady’s gonna need to wear DEPENDS after the GGGG—MENNNN send him home BOWLEGGED and BLEEDING!!!

    Ooh, you are psychic.

  • Molly

    Like those Giants fans who were written up in Parade Magazine for going on a quest to South America to get Pats perfect season shirts from villagers…winning!

  • Superdave138

    Eli was asked in an interview if he considered himself an elite quarterback. What was he supposed to say?  I can’t recall any NFL player ever saying they sucked. I won’t mention the fact that Tom Terrific has lost 2 Super Bowls to the Giants led by Eli. I won’t mention that when the Giants won the first one against the PattyCakes that it destroyed the myth that the PattyCakes were somehow “perfect”  Facts are facts in Super Bowl play Eli is 2-0 over Tommy Boy.

  • Rukgurnee

    Eli NEVER proclaimed he was elite!! Hed was asked a question by Michael Kay “Do you think u are a elite quarterback? In the same class as Brady”? What was he supposed to say??? It doesn’t even matter now. He has now beaten the great Brady in 2 Superbowls, 2 Superbowl Mvp’s. If that’s not elite I don’t know what is!!!

  • Superdave138

    Good Grief. is the world full of prople that hear part of a commment and make up the rest of it for themself.  You said it was up to “us” or the media to decide if Eli was elite.  Then why did a member of the media ask Eli if he considered himself elite?  I guess that reporter couldn’t decide for himself.  You make it like Eli was up on a soapbox doing a Mohammed Ali… “I am the Greatest of allllllll time.  I am not an Eli fanatic but I wouldn’t respect him at all if he didn’t have confidence in his own ability.  And if anyone thinks the Pats aren’t at home right now fuming mad at their 2nd straight Super Bowl loss to the Giants they are kidding the themselves.  What does it say about the Pats if you say they don’t care that they loss.  The Pats have a lot to be upset about.  Boo Hoo Pats.  i have 2 favorite NFL teams…  First the STEELERS and 2nd…any team that beats the Pats.

    You didn’t get the whole story, he was asked on a local radio show if he thought that he was elite and he said yes, he didn’t outright declare it. You can’t spell elite without ELI.
    By the way, it’s THEIR front four not there front four.
    GIANTS ARE WORLD CHAMPS—GIANTS RULE.

  • Ajmv4

    And the Rangers will win the Stanley Cup and the Yankees will win the World Series. RED SOX SUCK.

  • Ajmv4

    Yes, the PATTYCAKES are flying home—emptyhanded.
