BOSTON (CBS) – The New York Giants web staff committed a major gaffe on Saturday and may have given the Patriots some bulletin board material for the Super Bowl.

On Saturday, NYGiants.com posted an ad on their website declaring the Giants Super Bowl Champions.

The ad also contained a link to buy championship merchandise.

Someone eventually noticed the error and took down the ad.

If you try to see the page now, you’ll be redirected to Giants homepage instead after getting a “Page Not Found” error.

Many Giants fans expressed via Twitter and Facebook they were worried the Giants were jinxing the game by declaring victory too soon.

Patriots fans sure hope so.

Tune in to Super Bowl XLVI between the Patriots and Giants on 98.5 The Sports Hub, the only place to hear the local call of the game. Pregame coverage begins Sunday, February 5 at noon.

This, ok guess no reason to waste time watching the game…
This economy does have some serious problems, but they can be addressed.

Everyone here is stupid. They didn’t declare victory early. Their web developer made the page early so it could be posted fast in the event of a win. Stop being a moron.

Joe Bite-me

It’s Bush’s fault.

G-Man

GIANTS WIN…AGAIN! FU BOSTON YOU ALL SUCK ROTMFFLMFAO!

Bob Nelson

This is like what happened the first time the Pats won the Super Bowl. The flagship station of the Rams network had the victory parade route up on their website. After the game actually got played, the victory parade map through St Louis
got quietly taken down.

george

And look at the Rams ever since. HAR!

macmum

I don’t believe in luck as much as I believe in talent and team work but if the Giants believe they jinxed themselves, I’m on board! choke Manning, choke! LOL

I do believe they’ve just jinxed themselves!

Statz

So you agree any prediction of victory is a jinx…better beware the point spread…remember Super Bowl XLII the 18-0 Patriots were favored by 12…remember after he game their record was 18-1! Se you on the field

Larry

Dewey Defeats Truman!

John

I thought the same thing.
Bob Baker

My thoughts exactly.
G-Man

GIANTS BABY..SUCK IT

TheWizard

They might as well leave it up the way they’ve been talking for two weeks.
West Coast, doesn’t care

19-0! 19-0!

hans delbrucke

Nor does the mdwest

Me

Great…then don’t watch, we don’t care.

TomB

Dewey Defeats Truman, anyone?

TomB

Larry beat me to it!. Didnt see them all. :(

Tony Martellini

Right now there are 3ft x 4ft posters of it all over the PATS locker room…Boy you New yorkers sure live up to your ego-tastic BS reputationa

scott

ego-tastic? really? apparently you forgot about all of those t shirts printed during your perfect err….nearly perfect season.
Eddie V

Tony,
There’s gonna be two teams on the field tonight…
One is the GIANTS,and the other is the LOSERS…
Get used to it!!

Red

What are they going to do with all those balloons?
scott

An accident, unlike Brady making plans for victory parade a week ago.

Do you think those linebackers are going to be doing Jenny Craig commercials before they drop dead?

I live in fly-over-country. I am not interested in two teams from the “Natheast.”
Thank God for Hulu and DVDs.

brooklynMaxie

Naw-teest to you buddy.

Me

Great. Don’t watch. Why are you commenting on the game then?

Scott

Giants surprised New England in that last SB matchup. Won’t happen a second time. Patriots will run like a swiss watch all over the NY Midgets.
FEDUP

The winner of the game is already decided. It’s not real just another example of a money making distraction to what is really going on. Stop the NEO-CONS, watch New American Century on YouTube.

Me

OK, I’ll buy this.
So who wins?

Kent

What a prediction,I love it! The Giants are gonna scare Brady, pound his ass and expose that weak secondary! Good luck covering Cruz,Nicks, and Manningham. That surface is going to help that Giants pass rush. They will be to quick for the Pat O Line.Go Giants!!!

BadPenny

Keep dreaming! Can you say Jinx? Giants will be going home the losers this time around.

Statz

So you agree any prediction of victory is a jinx…better beware the point spread…remember Super Bowl XLII the 18-0 Patriots were favored by 12…remember after he game their record was 18-1! See you on the field

stephen towne

if the gaints LOSE they will be eating their words. Patriots too much ofense this time patriots 27 gaints 20
Stanley11

27th in defense and 32nd in rushing offense. I don’t think anyone is scared.

gypsygirl1

And yet, they made it to the SB when all but one other team did not. Interesting…

stephen towne

gaints counting their chcikens before they hatch. patriots 27-20
Pats

This makes Boston sports fans look dumb. It was just a gaff by whoever controls the web site. The Patriots have their shirts and webpage design up and running as well.

stephen towne

there are no paper champoins, both team wil earn their super bowl victory though hard work and the better team at the end will hoist the vince lombardi thophy as world champions
