GIANTS WIN 17-14!

It was a great win for the New York Football Giants, considering the challenges this team has gone through. They had to suffer from some moaning and groaning from former running back Tiki Barber, who sniped at Eli Manning's leadership ability. They lost all-word mouth Jeremy Shockey and let a lead slip against the New England Patriots in the last game of the season.



They had to go to Green Bay and beat Brett Favre, they had to beat Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys. Finally, they had to slay the dragon that was Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

I think the sentiment from many in the media, was how angry the Patriots were and how many they were going to score, maybe 40, 50 points on the 'lowly' Giants, because all the Spygate issues that had come up [allegedly a Patriots video guy had been filming walkthroughs of the opposing team, dating back to their first Super Bowl win in this decade, against the St. Louis Rams] and because of Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress. He had made a bold prediction, the Giants would somehow pull it out.

The Patriots were so impressive all year long, but something had to give, didn't it? I don't think you can take away from their accomplishments. In the end, no one really wanted to give the Giants a chance, but against all odds, it seemed like they truly shocked the world on Superbowl Sunday.
