Super Bowl/Star Wars Scenario.

I made up a Star Wars/Super Bowl 46 scenario prediction that can be nothing but fun or it can work out just as "Myra Kraft's mystical belief:

Bill Belichick is Darth Sidious, of course this has already been made up but I decided to take it a step further by adding a few more character's in the mix such as Tom Brady being Darth Vader (Belichick and Brady have been ruling the NFL together for over a decade now, just as Sidious and Vader ruled the Galaxy). Peyton Manning is Obi-Wan Kenobi who has been trying to beat and bring down the empire by having great duels with Brady (Vader) but always falling short. Brady no longer has to deal with Peyton anymore because of an unexpected disappearance (or neck issues). Peyton's little brother/Padawan, Eli Manning, is Luke Skywalker. The young and last Manning (Jedi) standing trying to bring down the franchise (Empire) that has ruled for so long.

 The first Super Bowl meeting (SB 42) was like "A New Hope". The Giants came out of  nowhere to make a playoff run with shocking upsets and having no one believing in them that they had a chance against the undefeated 18-0 New England Patriots.  This projects in the movie with people saying destroying the Death Star or bringing down the Empire was impossible.  The Super Bowl match and Death Star scene were almost identical with Eli leading the way but Brady right behind chasing him.  Almost at the end Brady takes the lead with over two minutes to go with everyone thinking the game was over. (Vader took out Luke's partners during the chase and had him locked on making the audience think the plan failed). As it seemed the Empire would win once again someone came to make a difference and that person was David Tyree (Han Solo) making the famous helmet catch to keep the drive going. (Han disrupts Vader as Vader is about to shoot Luke and finish off the rebels). Eli ends up throwing the game winning touchdown as Luke destroys the Death Star (Giants 17 Patriots 14) and the Empire (Patriots) no longer looks Invincible (18-1).

Year's pass and Empire is still in control but no longer dominate. While the rebellion (Giants) are struggling to add on success to their big accomplishment. (Takes both of them 4 years to win a playoff game).  We come to the 2011-2012 season which looks to be "The Return of the Jedi" with Eli Manning looking more mature and confident even saying before the season started that he belongs in the "Elite" Quarterback Class. Backing up his statement by having careers highs in passing yards and completions while carrying his team into the playoffs with no running game and a statistical bad defense. Just as Luke Skywalker was beginning to feel like a Jedi Master when he rescued his friends from Jabba the Hut.

Super Bowl XLVI meeting appears to be looking to play out like "The Return of the Jedi" where Eli "Skywalker" Manning finally ends the Dynasty (Empire) of the Patriots and Tom "Vader" Brady either throws an interception or gets stripped on the final drive which ends Bill "Sidious" Belichick's run of dominating the NFL.  The force is restored and a new era begins with Eli being on top.
