Did David Tyree make a deal with the devil? After making “The Catch” in Super Bowl XLII — and thereby helping shatter every Patriots fans dreams of a perfect 19-0 season – he hasn’t been back on the football field for the New York Giants. And his chances of being there in time for training camp have been dealt another blow.

According to a CBS Sportsline feature over the weekend, Tyree has suffered yet another setback in his attempt to come back from a season-ending knee surgery and subsequent hamstring injury he suffered last off-season. Tyree admitted in the story that he the process has been “frustrating” for him, as he watches other Giants receivers get valuable reps in his place.

So, yeah, he will go down in Super Bowl history for his still-can’t-believe-it play against New England, but he seems to have been paying the price ever since.

Fans (Patriots fans and non alike), PFW needs your help. During a pre-Super Bowl XLII edition of our radio show, “PFW in Progress,” our intrepid editor, Paul Perillo, made the following proclamation: “If the Giants win the Super Bowl, I’ll shave my head.”

Well, New York lived up to its end of the bargain. Sadly, ol’ Paulie Walnuts did not.

But we’re sure there must have been countless other such ridiculous bets made between friends, enemies, and casual acquaintances in the days leading up to the big game. We want to tell those stories (preferably, ones that have pictures to prove that the bet was fulfilled) in an upcoming issue of PFW.

If you know of anyone who made a bet like Paul’s, or even crazier, but who actually is living up to it, tell us about it. We’ll feature the most creative, outlandish, and just plain funny ones … hey, we’ve got to find a way to laugh  to keep from crying.

Thanks in advance, everyone.

worst Super Bowl ever played and there isn’t even a close second. Just an awful display of football by both teams. It is what it is.

As Fred says, I like to give the nod when I believe the game is in hand for the Patriots. Generally, that happens at some point in the first half but no so tonight. I said before the game that I would probably to do once the Patriots got a two-score lead, and I was poised to do that after Ellis Hobbs’ interception but the offense responded with a weak three-and-out and continued that poor play for the rest of the half. The Patriots offensive line better get the protection straightened out soon or that nod might never come tonight.

Fred Kirsch just reported that a “gentleman” wearing a Ted Johnson jersey was vomiting profusely just outside of the press box in the concourse. Boy I wish I could jump up and down and watch the game with that guy.
