Super Game

Great game, didn't really care who won. Either way, I was just hoping for a good game, but as the game went on the underdog story kind of took hold. A whole lot more to like about the Giants. In honor of Mike and Mike's Just Shut Up Award, I think last year's winner should be Tiki Barber for ripping the G-Man all season (especially Eli's leadership...who thinks Eli doesn't have any leadership abilities now?). Guess he left too early or perhaps they won because he left, ha. Can we get some love for Coughlin? A real football coach who deservedly won this one. I remember him coming into Denver a few years ago with his J'ville team and putting a big hurt on the Broncos, the year before they won their first super bowl. Big time coach. Why do successful teams go from being darlings to jerks? When the Yankees won for the first time back in the 90s after having a championship drought they were loved, now they are the evil empire. Look is what is happening to the Sox in baseball...the samething. Everyone used to think the Patriots were a feel good story...now they are cheaters. Why can't we love perfection?

Fantastic last quarter, almost like a tied game going into the top of the 9th. The NFL couldn't have scripted it any better. Two potential game winning drives. An award winning scramble from Eli and a fingertip catch. Game winning TD from the man who said they'd win. In retrospect it will be interesting to see what was wrong with Brady...his throws were all high. Why did the Patriots go for it on 4th and 13?

On the lighter side only two good commercials the Pepsi one with Justin and the coke one with the parade balloons.
