"You tried your very best...

but i guess your best wasn't good enough"

hahahaha, Man, was that not the best super bowl since NippleGate yesterday?

The titans; The 18-ohmygod Patriots vs. the lowly NFC representative, the Giants. The Super Bowl was supposed to be a foregone conclusion. A mere formality. Lucky for the Giants, the NFL makes you play a game before they hand out the Lombardi trophy.

The funny thing is is that this game did not need to be hyped, especially not for 2 weeks. You had the NY vs. Boston angle. The David vs. Goliath angle. So many stories So much time. And by God the media worked every story to death. By time kickoff came, there was a feeling of "just get this shit over with, please." Frankly, I was rooting for the Giants but was getting prepared for a blowout b/c lets face it: the patriots had the best statistical season ever. Points were nothing for this juggernaut. So, no matter how good you thought the Giants defense was how the hell can they possibly compete with the greatest offense of all time?

But, not only did the Giants slow down the greatest offense ever, they broke the 72 dolphins' champagne bottle over their heads...The Giants defensive line was swarming, penetrating, and relentless. I swear i thought time would stop if Tommy Brady's golden bottom ever touched the ground. However the earth continued to exist after the first brady sack. The giants defensive line like that so much they decided to sack Tommy 4 more times...Eli, formerly referred to as SHE-li, completed one of the greatest plays i have ever seen. You know the play, dont you? You saw it and said "what the fuck is going on". In the fourth quarter, down by 4, the Pats brought beaucoup pressure on Eli, formerly referred to as SHE-li, but Eli never left his feet. He was never planted on his wooden ass. Rather, he shrugged off those blue defenders. Read that line again. This manchild, formerly referred to as SHE-li, formerly referred to as that bum, formerly referred to as "Not as good as the other"Manning, shrugged off 300 lbs men by sheer force of will. Yes, this MANning stood at the cross roads of immortal and irrelevant and threw a frozen rope towards immortality...This pass was then received by David Tyree. Yes, THAT david tyree, the one you've never heard of. This was no common reception. David, in essence, caught the ball with the crown of his helmet and brought it down with a juiced Rodney harrison fighting him all the way down. This play set up the winning score with 30 seconds left...

Eli manning was awarded the super bowl MVP, rightfully so for an award given to one individual. However, this is a misnomer. Eli played amazingly. The defense played astoundingly. Everyone played championship ball. Everyone deserved the MVP. It wasn't that the patriots played a bad game. No, not in the first. They were just as stellar as usual. Albeit, belicheck, formerly referred to as "the genius", should have kicked a field goal when it was 4th and 13, but I am sure Tom Coughlin, formerly referred to as "crotchety old coot", isnt complaining. No, the Giants just played a better game that 9 times out of 10 would have garnered a loss to the 18-ohmygod Patriots, greatest offense of all time.

But, this was the 10th time. This Super Bowl, as most do, changed the entire outlook of the Giants, formerly referred to the "underachieving Giants". Eli will finally have the breathing room he needs to grow into a premier QB. Strahan gets a ring to wear on the set of whatever sports program he eventually joins. It saved Coughlin's job. Yes, there will be a lot of name changes due to this win. The 18-ohmygod Patriots will now be referred to as the 18 and irrelevant Patriots,the "not quite" Patriots. No matter the words the public chooses to describe this Giants Team from the Back page of the NY Post to the muttered utterances of Patriots fans, I think Eli, David Tyree, Michael Strahan and the rest of this team, formerly referred to as "the lowly NFC representatives", will like "Super Bowl Champion New York Giants" the best.

Congrats Gentlemen and Ill see you at the parade tomorrow. GO GIANTS!!!!
