Using his athletic ability Welker jumps, contorts his body and puts himself in a position to make an unbelievable catch. If he comes down with it he's a legend, the Patriots are on the dance floor, where they can bleed most of the clock and at least add three points to their 17-15 lead. He drops it.]]> http://ftrsports.com/2012/02/wes-welker-feels-he-let-his-team-down-gisele-agrees/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2012/02/real-super-bowl-parties-have-crazy-food/ http://ftrsports.com/2012/02/real-super-bowl-parties-have-crazy-food/#comments Sun, 05 Feb 2012 03:45:45 +0000 David Sacco http://ftrsports.com/?p=164860657 . You appreciate those who don't just serve good food, they serve New England claim chowder, New York style pizza, and Great Papaya style hot dogs in honor of a New York and New England show down. They make hamburgers, cookies and deviled eggs in the shape of footballs, and guacamole dips into football fields. They go the extra mile, and we love them for it.]]> http://ftrsports.com/2012/02/real-super-bowl-parties-have-crazy-food/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2012/02/oops-giants-com-claims-super-bowl-victory-a-day-early/ http://ftrsports.com/2012/02/oops-giants-com-claims-super-bowl-victory-a-day-early/#comments Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:29:07 +0000 Charles Drengberg http://ftrsports.com/?p=164860641 Earlier today, Giants.com announced the G-Men as Super Bowl Champions despite the game still being a day away.

Since everyone knows the Jets have been at home for over a month, and wouldn't be dumb enough to be seen hanging around the Super Bowl, it looks as though Mother Nature is to blame for organizers being forced to shut down the NFL Experience in downtown Indy today.]]> http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/extreme-winds-force-nfl-experience-in-indy-to-shut-down/feed/ 0 http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/new-york-new-jersey-governors-argue-over-right-to-root-for-giants-jets-apparently-forgotten/ http://ftrsports.com/2012/01/new-york-new-jersey-governors-argue-over-right-to-root-for-giants-jets-apparently-forgotten/#comments Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:35:55 +0000 Hamish Nieh http://ftrsports.com/?p=164860390 In predictably New York fashion, the Big Apple has decided to embrace the Giants as this years NYC representative in the NFL’s big game.
